Cheering OLTL’s diversity

It’s been a while since I gushed about One Life to Live, so I figure there’s no harm in dusting off my pom-poms today. Catching up on the Oct. 20 episode (Hi, Kevin! Nice to see you!) hammered in for me again how well OLTL has done with integrating its cast and treating everyone like normal… Read More Cheering OLTL’s diversity

Women, fashion and unintelligent design

I don’t understand the upper echelons of the fashion industry. I get that, objectively, you could look at it as a form of art, using cloth as a medium instead of paints or clay. But when it comes to creating things for people to actually wear, that’s when my brain starts to shut down. Look,… Read More Women, fashion and unintelligent design

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Basically, “Like omg I bought… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

A week in reading: some quick hits

Fragile Eternity – I was looking forward to Melissa Marr’s third young adult novel meshing the world of faerie with that of mortal teenagers, but after finishing what is clearly the lead-in for a fourth novel, I’ve reached the end of the line. It’s my stop, time to get off. Urban fantasy is a hard sell for… Read More A week in reading: some quick hits
