I know it was on a different network, but when Queer Eye for the Straight Guy came out and they used Thom Filicia for the interior designer, it was such a lovely antidote to Trading Spaces.

It’s not really who gets more emotional, but what they get emotional about. You see, women get emotional about things that don’t matter (to men) whereas men get emotional over legitimate issues like machismo and face-saving. It also hurts men more to have uncomfortable emotions; it’s like getting your balls stepped…

This needed bold reiteration. Don’t mind me.

I can’t say how often I’ve wanted a “House Hunters” episode to end like that.

What. Is. Wrong. With. Her?

Hildy was a crazy bitch.

I kind of miss the old TLC. The simple makeover shows and A Wedding/Baby story were like the innocent, playing outside, PB&J-eating days of the network. With Trading Spaces and What Not to Wear they became a bratty tween, then a rebellious teenager and entitled college kid. I have no idea what they are now.

this is a ridiculous post, stop being so emotional

That was awful, BUT in her defense, when you are trying to show personal injury, you really do have to be specific about things you can no longer do. Saying “my wrist hurts” won’t really do the trick in a lawsuit. Still though, I would probably have gone with something like “I have trouble holding my tooth brush and…

Right? If my niece broke my arm I’d keep hugging her. Broken nose? It’s okay, sweetie, auntie wanted a nose job to fix that weird divet anyways. Accidentally slam my fingers in a door? Auntie still loves you, she just will never play piano again but it’s worth it because I LOVE YOU

One of my advisers in college went on Trading Spaces with his wife, his sister-in-law, and her husband. No one liked the renovation and my adviser and his wife divorced 6 months later. Later conversations indicated that the show played a part in the decision to divorce.

That comment reminded me of this excellent music video, which features Charlize Theron coming to the rescue of Brandon Flowers.

‘‘If you’ve made money being a critic in black culture in the last 20 years you have to deal with me,’’ he says. ‘‘You must have an opinion of me. You must deal with what I’m saying and deal with the consequences.’’

“Quentin Tarantino is interviewed by Bret Easton Ellis”

Court gentry sounds like someone who ought to be sucking up to the king of England in the 18thC. It isn’t a name, it is an insulting put down.

Next thing you know women will make 99 cents to every man’s dollar.

*snort* That whole Amber Rose/Kim Kardashian story sounds especially bull-shitty to me. I mean... if most of their show was going to consist of trashing the Kardashians, which sounds dubious to begin with, it would get real boring real fast. Even more boring than the Kardashians’ show, probably.

““Without being able to trash the Kardashians, they just felt like their show does not have much weight any more,” says the source. Meanwhile, the Kardashians are thrilled.”
