Re: Shy being gay, same! At the press conference in Vegas, when he was talking about a woman he’s dated and broken up with, and how he recorded a whole album about it, I thought, “Nice beard, Shy.” I’ve been wondering if he and Reggie are actually lovers, but he tells Midge not to say anything to Reggie. Of course,…

She’s acted this way before, back in Season 1 when Midge came home from her first day at B. Altman with a new lipstick that hadn’t gone on sale to the public yet. When Midge told her that, Rose said, “So I’m the guinea pig?” ...and it just got worse from there. At least six passive-agressive dismissals in a row. I was…

I think he did, because the rouge was actually red, not whatever color they used for black-and-white film or TV. :D

Reagan used a noticeable amount of rouge. But it was downright subtle compared to what Donnie does.

Yeah, he could definitely benefit from a makeup tutorial or two. But the guy famously demands briefings with his name featured prominently, short sentences, and pictures. He also famously blows off expert opinions. So I doubt he’d sit still for a makeup tutorial, or even a makeup artist.

Orange would neutralize blue tones (theoretically), and I’ve used yellow concealers intended to neutralize my purplish undereye circles. I don’t think I’ve ever seen orange concealer, but then, I normally don’t wear makeup, so...

Exactly. The man is vain AF, but has really bizarre ideas about how to look his best...and of course he won’t listen to anyone who has any expertise in the matter.

Well, she is a New Yorker...

I believe in shelling out $$ for practical, comfortable, high quality shoes. Docs are all this, and they can be repaired, lowering replacement costs. That said, I only briefly owned one pair of Docs “oxfords.” They were a little too big, and the next size down were a little too small, so I wore them for a day before I…

I immensely enjoyed Betty’s confrontation with Alice. I’ve been waiting for it since Season 1. (Why no, I have no unresolved mommy issues. None.) Alice seems to have reverted to her Season 1 persona: super-controlling, concerned about Betty’s academic performance, and well...everything. Her freaking out about…

Re: the musical numbers: ASP clearly loves directing them, so there they are. And they’re excellent. 

We had a glimpse of Kevin out running with his dad in the first episode this season. Since then, no Keller/McCoy parents in evidence.

Is “Gilmore Girls” even a thing in the Riverdale universe? If it were, wouldn’t it would have an alternate name, like “Fillmore Girls”? And Veronica might know that Tory Fillmore rejected Harvard for Yale (where she was a legacy), but would Hiram know that?

I dunno....it might be an ad for sunburn cream, and tanning one’s taint is a thing these days.

It’s Riverdale. So of course two teens and a senile great-grandmother get custody of the twins. Riverdale logic.

Fibes. Or Fives. Veronica mentioned it last season, too.

My money is on Penelope or maaaaybe Nana Rose. But please not Toni. Cheryl desperately needs true love. 

I wish Hiram would just freakin’ vanish. The show started declining when he appeared. He’s not even annoying. Just a dead weight.

But it’s aspirational!

She can be, but she’s presented as charismatic and together. Always perfectly dressed, sexually desirable, rich and privileged, smart, witty 24/7. It’s easy to overlook the pain-in-the-assness. But yeah, she can be.
