I personally enjoy Moss and Bledel’s performances, although Moss’ baby voice sometimes grates on my nerves (but that’s an ongoing issue for me with her as an actor). There’s *some* graphic violence. For me, the violence is less disturbing than how closely the world of Gilead resembles our own, and how easily and…

Vocal Fry Festival.

It’s a Weight Watchers thing.

OMGZ, BASEketball: my guilty pleasure.

It’s on YouTube now - channel 1 (there are 3 Coachella channels)

Our wedding was held in August 2004 in my maternal grandmother’s small Maryland town. It was held at a small banquet hall attached to a day program for teens and adults with disabilities, so I liked that the rental fee (which was nominal) went towards this program. I did it as cheaply as possible so as not to burden…

Thank you for this info. I was completely unaware.

I have a longstanding love for Igigi (igigi.com). Lovely plus-sized dresses that were made in San Francisco - not sure if their garments are still U.S.-made; it looks like the company has been newly acquired. I’ve loved every dress I bought from there. Worth taking a look.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband.

My vote is yes. Hell’s bells, yes. That’s my type right there.

I’m glad that Coachella has chosen a female performer. But I had desperately wanted Daft Punk to take that headlining spot.

I highly recommend Father John Misty, Porches, Blood Orange, Mitski and Toro y Moi. KEXP has performances by many of these artists if you want to get a preview.

Thank you for this.

Kelly, I like and appreciate the stapler appearance/photobomb. But I believe you have my stapler. It’s a Swingline.

Forever.

As a teenaged nerd, I became really obsessed with the Sandman comic series, and a lot of those words and images still linger in my mind. So in that spirit and to all Jez staffers who will be traveling, I quote the amazing witch from Sandman known as Thessaly, and say to you: “Trivia of the crossways attend thee on thy…

Unless something’s changed, that grass is sod and is brought in for Coachella and Stagecoach.

Thank you for the Deon Estus reminder. I loved his solo work, too. I like the backing vocals that George Michael provided for this song; they’re so nicely airy.

I live in that region as well. I have no idea who can afford these rents/mortgages. If and when you start looking for other housing, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. It’s a completely untenable situation for many of us, but no one seems to care - more and more homes for sale “starting in the low $800,000s.” And…

Thanks for this, Julianne, and what an acquaintance of mine calls “headline heat.” I loved George Michael’s strong, powerful voice. I melodramatically wrote elsewhere that his voice played a major part of the score of my childhood. Dave 1 of the band Chromeo wrote some strong points on Facebook about how Michael wrote…
