I dig it: Ironic Iconic America

We're airing this special tonight on Bravo...
Tommy Hilfiger Presents: Ironic Iconic America.

It airs at 8pm for those of you on the west coast....
(if you've missed it, it'll re-air Monday at 4pm - you can set your dvr for it)



If you like Americana, fun facts, travel shows, or just interesting stuff about design or culture in the US, I'd definitely recommend checking this out. It's shot in a very cool way - and it's kind of a vibrantly-colored, positve outlook on this country we live in... I like that. :)

This week: VH1's Best Week Ever

I am catching up on my TiVo... Friday's Best Week Ever was great!

1. They included The Rachel Zoe Project in their "shows to watch this fall" segment.

2. The footage from Good Morning America last week is classic. They interviewed Sarah Palin's friends from aerobics class. Ah. Find it please and watch it.

3. Gossip Girl WAS ridiculous(ly sexy) with those strawberries last week!

Monday Night Discoveries: A Comparison

So I've been watching Date My Ex for the past 4 weeks... and now that The Hills is back, I've got a 10pm conflict. What to do... Hm...

Lessons learned from watching MTV's The Hills:

1. It's always about you. If you're throwing a birthday party for a friend, it doesn't really matter if she's having fun. If you're not getting what you want, the party most definitely is a total failure.
2. Spencer Pratt doesn't like ANYONE except Heidi Montag.. not even her sister.
3. Doug is a stupid name.

Lessons learned from watching Bravo's Date My Ex:

1. Slade Smiley doesn't like when people swim in his water feature. (2 part lesson: It's a water feature, not a pond.)
2. Never make offensive jokes about someone's ex-finace... especially if you're living in that someone's house.
3. Jo De La Rosa can actually have good taste in men. It is possible! Yay! for the nice guy finishing first this time.

So...since all of the lessons learned from The Hills are actually a total joke... perhaps Date My Ex is the better choice. [Insert Rachel Zoe gasp here.] I know, I'm shocked too. But justice was served last night on Date My Ex.. and well, The Hills was just disappointing. I tried to fall for the drama in The Hills, and I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. Lauren and Lo don't ever try to make things better... and sadly, because of all of the hype, I'm now stuck thinking that they are actually trying to make things worse. It's frustrating as a viewer -- Critics! Leave it alone! I was completely content before you told me it was fake. -- Plus, throughout the (too short) 30 minute episode, I'm sitting there hoping that, just once, Heidi will punch Spencer in the face (literally, or metaphorically speaking.) I vote for a Whitney spin-off. She's the only likeable character... even if she did make fun of Doug's name.

Tonight: Project Runway

i'm watching Project Runway 413 solo tonight. And it's impossible not to comment. Thank goodness for blogging.

I love Christian.
I love his dancing moves.
I love his tiny little apartment.
I love the way he says fabulous.
I love his confidence.

Jillian... is growing on me by the seconds.
(I mean.. I already loved her.. but... now I really want to cheer for her.)
Might sound strange, but I sort of believe the whole psychic prediction that her mom raised her believing. Maybe I should go see a psychic. I think I may have reached a point in my life that I'd be okay with knowing what there is to know. Hm...


Rami - I don't know. He didn't drape (much). I guess that's admirable.

Chris - human hair? no. no. no.

I think it's funny that they put Rami and Chris in the same hotel room. Ha. Ha. ........I guess it's not that funny.



I really want to attend a little cocktail party at dusk on a rooftop in New York City. I want Christian and Jillian to be there. And maybe Andre too. (What happened to Andre??) Everyone will drink and laugh and drink some more.

Oh and I want to have a intercom at my next apartment.. and Tim Gunn will buzz in and say, "Melanie, it's Tim Gunn." I can't wait.



Talk about a
wow moment.


Auf Wiedersehen rewind: ..did Chris just try to kiss Rami??
