If you’ve ever read Curtis Sittenfeld’s American Wife, picture the exact opposite of that. Then make it 100 times more confusing and cockamamie, and about half as sexy, and you’ve got First Lady by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Ok, that was harsh. Let me explain. Cornelia Case is the First Lady of the United States. The … More First Lady
Erica: So…I don’t know who any of these people are. I’m really trying to keep up with contemporary music, but…Yeah. Kate: Since I don’t even listen to the radio anymore I am often 3 months late on “new” songs, and barely have any idea who these people are myself. Doesn’t mean I can’t critique their fashion … More A Lack of Funk (Grammys 2014)
How do I feel about The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Kyle Chandler (coach! <3), directed by the-more-cursing-the-better Martin Scorsese? It was totally, completely, 1000% should-win-the-Oscar AWESOME. It blew me away. (Pun intended.) Everyone knows by now this movie is the true story of ex-Wall Streeter Jordan Belfort illegally making tons of money … More The Wolf of Wall Street
Erica: Welcome to SAGs 2014. I have to confess, I didn’t watch, so I’m just judging the dresses on how they look in pictures. For all I know, they looked way better in motion. Kate: I watched (on a Saturday night, what a wild life over here) and everything looks pretty much the same here … More The Year of Lupita (SAG Awards 2014)
I am really digging this autobiography/memoir genre, especially when it makes me laugh as much as Tina Fey’s Bossypants and Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (Seriously, I really alarmed fellow subway riders with my laughter. The subway should not be that enjoyable.) So I’ve never been that into Saturday Night Live. I know some … More Bossypants
Allison Williams Kate: I absolutely love this. I feel like it’s a pretty unique dress. Erica: It’s definitely unique. I didn’t see this during the actual event, so I’m not sure how the fabric looks, but it’s interesting while still being fairly elegant. Not my style, really, but I get what she’s going for and … More The Many Dresses of Tina Fey (Golden Globes 2014)
Nothing will ever wrench open my insides quite like The Fault In Our Stars did, but after reading another John Green gem I’ve decided I quite like his style. He really gets teen misery in all shapes and sizes, you know? The first half of Looking For Alaska very much reminded me of Prep (which I HIGHLY recommend), in … More Looking For Alaska
I would like to point out that I saw a preview for and wanted to see American Hustle long before it started getting all this Golden Globe and Oscar buzz — I believe it was when I saw Blue Jasmine — and that should somehow make me seem cooler. I would also like to point out … More American Hustle
