Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I could NEVER have done that fast forward. Jordan really impressed me by going through it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw! Chris March on designing for Meryl Streep: [link] I heart them both!

SYTYCD: The good, the bad. Two more from Nigel:

I want to thank one of my favorite #SYTYCD performers Lady Gaga for giving us back one of our best dancers for our AllStars. #Mark Kanamoura

# Great news. Lauren: #@LaurenGottlieb is a #SYTYCD All-Star. This will make a lot of people very happy, including me.

Punishingly Intricate

I just realized (last night) that Caite is the really stupid Miss America contestant! Don't know how I missed that.

Not Miss America, Teen USA or something. That's why they went to war with Brandy and Carol! The ladies were making fun of Caite over the "like, such as" business.

I thought it was a great idea on the CBS marketing people to have Jet and Cord do the promo for the country music awards next week--they were quite good at it, too!

ugh. Misha Chan? Really?

Though I'm thrilled about Mark.

Dear Nigel, it's Mark Kanemura. Please learn to spell the names of *all* your dancers, not just the European-heritage ones.

Mark! Oh my stars! I will forgive Nigel a lot for giving me back my pretty boy from Hawaii. Even Mischa Chan? It's dicey. But I'd made my peace with that pick a long time ago. There was no way that Nigel was not going to bring Lauren back given the chance. And Mark! Potentially more Mark + Mia and/or Mark + Sonya pairings. Or Mark + Wade!

And see, here's the problem. There's no way that I'm going to be more excited about seeing the fresh meat than I will be about seeing some of my favorite dancer/choreographer combos and the new season is supposed to be about the new kids.

On TAR: I feel like neither Brandi and Carol nor Brent and Caite came off very well last night. But I loved, loved, loved Dan and Jordan calling out the so text-y it was almost not subtext of all the homophobia on display with the Wonder Twinks. They couldn't even be bothered to call them by name. The Lesbians? This late in the game and that's all you know/care about? Hmmm. OK, Sparky. I'll be desperately hoping for a Cowboys/Dan & Jordan/Cops final three, with the cops just there by default (because they've definitely been feeding their "wolf cubs" fire on the whole Brandy/Carol hate-a-thon).

On SYTYCD, Mark!
