She let it go a month and then went back and got a ratty weave. OMGFUGLY!
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I just saw The Wiz, and guess who was the leader of the flying monkeys? One William Wingfield!

Sweet! I'll bet he was amazing. Was he shirtless?
Wait, do the flying monkeys sing in The Wiz? I don't recall. If so, can he sing, too, because that would be what we call an embarassment of riches?

No singing. And he was sometimes shirtless, although not as a monkey, IIRC. It was a cool production -- minimal staging and a lot of dancing, some of which made up for the lack of scenery -- they danced the yellow brick road in addition to the tornado and stuff. Good times.

Is this the production with Ashanti in it?
God, I love The Wiz. I even love the Diana Ross movie version in all its wrongness. I have Be a Lion on my ipod. I think I shall listen to it now.

Yep -- Ashanti, Orlando Jones, Tichina Arnold, Dawnn Lewis... and other people who haven't been on TV so much.

Punishingly Intricate
Gah! There's a woman on WNTW that I just want to bitch slap! Nick gave her an awesome new haircut and all she's done is whine. "It's not my hair!" No and it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be modern, attractive and flattering--everything your old haircut wasn't. Don't come on this show if you're not going to commit to the full effect.
Whoa, YES! I just watched this last night. She was such a sad sack it was uncomfortable to watch. What was up with the "my daughter is dating the men who should be dating me?" FREAKY! And then disinviting men to her reveal party? She clearly has some serious issues.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Sounds like on ANTM when the girls get their makeovers and there's always one who has a meltdown because they're cutting her hair. Honestly - it's not like this is a big surprise! and besides, they get a new look - it may not be what they're used to or like, but it's a cut by a ... well, famous, if not "top" ... stylist. It's hair - it grows out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
After last week I have officially given up on The Fashion Show. I just can't bring myself to care about the outcome, nor am I getting any joy out of the experience of watching.
Expedition Africa, OTOH, continues to be full of awesomecakes. I'm almost caught up now, and have Ep 3 on the DVR to watch tonight.
