Jilli - I heartily approve of the True Blood TV series, myself. I find the books oddly compelling (although often that compulsion is of the punch-Sookie-in-the-face variety), but I genuinely like the show. It's got a good ensemble, and I like the music (theme tune's catchy as hell) and the cinematography a lot. Lafayette and Tara (and Tara's mum) and Hoyt are probably my favourite characters. And Sam. And Gran. Erik and Pam are fab (especially Pam). Bill and Sookie... are probably the part I'm least interested in, really, but I don't dislike either of them*. And I surprise myself by finding Jason terribly disarming - frequent nekkidness notwithstanding (although it garnered vocal opprobrium as well as fervent appreciation), I think he gives a very good performance, and I think his character arc is FAR more interesting in the show than in the books.

LOVED the peacock corset. (Gasp!) And the X-ray one too, because it's cool as hell, but I have a particular soft spot for peacocks.

*on the show. I'm not going to love the hell out of Sookie any time soon, but the performance is not without its charm, and the writing is better, and because she's no longer the lens through which we see everything, Sookie's much less annoying on screen, imho, than on the page. But YMMV.

Fay! I sent you a message on FB.

JZ's honeymoon corset is still my favorite.

Hmmm, that was a good haircut on her but it's too curly post pregnancy to do that look anymore.

Can I get a quick vote from Bitches on their favorite JZ hairstyle from the following?

Curly layered bob.

Longer bob with bangs.

Mod-ish crop with tiara.

Short layered flippy.

I'm kind of missing the redder hair on her now that I'm looking at these.

I like her current hair, but curly layered bob is hot and short layered flippy is good too.

I vote for whatever she likes best.

Very Louise Brooks.

Actually, Hec, my favorite hairstyle that I've seen on JZ is from the series of pictures you posted from her birthday in the Va-Va-VOOM red dress. The whole look was spectacular.

JZ's curly layered bob is cute. I want my hair to do that.

Well, she liked all of them at the time.

I like her current hair

It looked really good in that picture that I think Ple took of her in Seattle. But hair often looks great a week before it needs to be cut and then it reaches a tipping point and the old cut loses all structural integrity leading to hair chaos and potential highway disasters.

I need to figure out what to do with my hair for the RITA ceremony. I have everything figured out except for earrings and hair.

So many pretty pictures! I have to go with the Curly layered bob since that is the one that is the furthest away from what I could manage. Also, I like the tousled look. Why is it that those of us with straight hair envy the curls?

I am getting my hair cut in about an hour. In this remote location it is typical for the stylist to come to the house and she is coming to do Bobby and me. My hair is longer than it has been in years, but I want to color it again and that requires a shorter style. I have so little hair that there aren't any real options. There is one layer, the only variable is length. My decision is chin length or shoulder length. Bangs stay, forever.
