In celebration of its final season, there's going to be a Mad Men exhibit (in Astoria!) at the Moving Image Museum (and running from March 14th until June 14th).
The exhibit will feature large-scale sets (including Don Draper’s office and the Draper Kitchen), some of the crazy-memorable costumes (all I'm thinking of is that one red dress), hundreds of props, advertising art, video clips, and personal notes and research material from Matthew Weiner (the show's creator).
I'm pretty excited to see this - it's such a great idea to do alongside the last season. Now if they could just get started on a new Banana Republic jewelry line, I'd be over the moon.
I refuse to ever stop giving eyebrow advice. REFUSE. And I'm aware that I've recommended numerous eyebrow products. But I think I've finally found one that's reasonably priced and actually good quality. Here's an example of what it looks like when used.
It's pretty weather proof and won't run on you in the rain or snow or anything - it'll even stay on and not smudge off if you decide to not take it off with the rest of your makeup at the end of a day. I've done that a few times. Goddam it, I just love having fuller eyebrows. Did you know that the number one facial cosmetic procedure among women in NYC this year was eyebrow restoration? So funny that that's a thing now.
In any case, this Milani pencil is magic and you can get it at basically any CVS in New York. It ranges from $7 - $10, which is pretty decent, too.
Ummmm, this is great, right? Yes, yes it is! Especially because of the fact that I'm constantly telling people what to watch and episodes of things that are great - and I always want to be sitting beside them to see if they're actually enjoying it. Saying, that out loud makes it seem abnormal, I realize. I just love watching shows/movies I love with friends! Or forcing them to sit in one spot and soak up whatever hilarity I'm placing upon their eyes. Either way.
Such a great idea!
Harry Connick Jr. talking about his daughters dating on Ellen.
REALLY liked it. I'd never heard of Samantha Irby or her blog before reading this book, so this is a completely unbiased post. Here are the notes I made during reading it.
"You have to order anal sex two days in advance, like peking duck."
The whole chapter on her mom is insanely interesting and if you're going to read one essay out of the whole book, make it this one.
Love The One You're With is kind of a really sad song.
I should re-watch The Wizard of Oz. I wonder if it's still a good movie.
"What gets me hot is all of the other shit. Dreaming about someone whose allergies I need to remember when I'm at the grocery store: that's where the real romance is. Because I've had sex before. What a fucking snooze, my dude. Sex is so dumb and boring and unless you're in really incredible shape or you have a ridiculous imagination and are into some really freaky shit, what you do and what I do is limited to a handful of very similar things. Even your grandmother has been choked and spit on and handcuffed. Why don't we instead dream up some motherfuckers who will set up the automatic renewal on our magazine subscriptions?"
"I don't want to fuck a dude who has a "hairstyle.""
Gotta remember to read some Chelsea Handler to see if I like her.
"I need to pick one when I go out: EATING THINGS or DRINKING THINGS because doing both makes me poor."
The recipes she includes at the end of the book? Not only is that adorable as hell, but also the coolest and smartest way to end a book EVER.
You can buy the book on Amazon and her blog can be found at Bitches Gotta Eat.
