The Girl Crush – UPDATED

I gave Ted over at Bloggingsytycd a little ditty about my girl crush of the moment, Cat Deeley. So I thought this would be a good time to discuss the nature of “The Girl Crush” as opposed to the much more straightforward “Crush on a Girl.” In case it’s not abundantly clear, this [...]

Liar! – Enough Edition

The NYTimes calls for Gonzo’s impeachment. Ya think?
I went looking for some of the more hair raising moments of his testimony to share with those of you not insane enough to actually spend time watching CSPAN. I didn’t have to look far:GONZALES: I clarified my statement two days later with the reporter.
SCHUMER: What [...]

Gotta Dance: Pina Bausch Edition

This installment of “My Favorite Dancers,” which is quickly turning into “My Favorite Dancers and Choreographers,” was unplanned.

Keeping House

Thanks to BloggingSYTYCD lots of new folks are showing up. Thank you, Ted. Ergo, I figured this would be a good time to clean up my labels and add them to the side bar so if those of you who like to read about watching dance on the TV also like to read about [...]
