The Morning After: Much Music Video Awards

Yes, we have award shows in Canada too and though we don't actually watch them good for us for having them!

In our defense Sunday is a fairly demanding television night & quality programming like Mad Men (OMG, Sally! btw) doesn't get postponed for the MMVAs. Our beady little eyes did catch a glimpse of one beautiful and familiar face last night: Josh Bowman, swoon. And by the difficult nature of finding a good picture of him (way to much Chavril, honestly!) from last night it appears many of you missed it. He was looking fine and this was a rare opportunity for all to hear that sexy accent.

In other observations, we really liked this Hervé Leger look on Taylor Swift:

Happy Monday!

Dancing with Dick Casablancas

Our enthusiasm over the return of Veronica Mars is hardly a secret and apparently neither is Ryan Hansens.

Ryan tweeted this video last night and shook his booty back into character; officially announcing his return as Dick Casablancas! Drippin' swagoo fo sho.

Pretty Pretty Cocktails: Angel Food Cake

Recently Caitlin returned from a swanky retreat in Boca Raton, Florida, with more than just a tan: a scrumptious cocktail recipe!

We couldn't not share. As well-appointed trendsters, we whipped it together last weekend and it made us feel as if we were summering in style.

Here is what you'll need:

1/2 oz of Disaronno
1/2 oz of Whipped vodka (we used Pinnacle! A vanilla flavoured vodka is ok too)
Splash(es) of pineapple juice
Splash(es) of cranberry juice
As many maraschino cherries as you desire...
Shaker
Ice
Martini glass

Mix together over ice and shake until frothy, strain into glass.

Catfish: Part Deux

Folks summer television is upon us and includes our favourite guilty pleasure: Catfish!

What the sophomore season seems to offer up is a whole lot of tears. The preview heavily suggests that new contestants characters people are trying to offer up twists on classic catfishing. We can expect online engagements and money swindling! Nev is particularly flabbergasted.

New Season premieres June 25.

Anywho, good luck finding love out there this weekend. Happy Friday!

The Morning After: 2013 CFDA Awards

The 2013 CFDA Awards took place in NYC last night, and, as per usual, we found ourselves fending off a ferocious case of FOMO.

We particularly enjoy this annual event because there is a nice mixture of fashion designers, fashionista actresses and models. See below for our musings:

Our favs: Ellie Kemper in a Naeem Khan, Rooney Mara in Calvin Klein, Harley Viera-Newton in a Steven Alan white suit and carried a clutch by Olympia Le Tan, and Hilary Rhoda in Helmut Lang


The see-through gang: Cynthia Rowley, Jemima Kirke and the other Mara sister in Dolce & Gabbana. Quite frankly, we are sick of this look and not afraid to say it!

Could not complete this post without mentioning:

Took us a few seconds to understand what we were looking at here. First of all, where is Ashley (?!?!), second, Elizabeth is way taller than MK (what happened there?), and thirdly, MK is rapidly turning into a Rachel Zoe lookalike, no? They both actually look pretty good, all in all.

We have to admit that we didn't actually watch the awards or read about who won/lost etc, because it's not that interesting to us/you.

Dubiously yours,
Us

Monday in Love

In an attempt to forget the horrors experienced during last night's television viewing (chiefly among them: Kim implying something about Kanye & his nether regions!), let's all enjoy this rare affectionate moment between the only couple that matter: Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Just trying to put a positive spin on your week, also if you haven't watched GOT yet, avoid the rest of Internet!

To Like or Not to Like: Bob Benson

For those of you watching Mad Men this season, tell us: how do you feel about Bob Benson? We’re torn.

Disclaimer: We were slightly predisposed to hate him as our only familiarity with James Wolk (the actor playing Bob) comes from a past role as a preppy-jerk boyfriend type in For a Good Time Call.

This is what we know and like about BB

He is one snappy dresser. Short shorts!

He seems to truly want to help out Joan (also Pete!). Ps. Is Bob dating Joan? We need to see some on-screen physical displays as confirmation. Beach date was not enough.

He is real life hot.

This is what we don’t trust about BB

100% Sycophant.


#coolitwiththecoffeealready

Bit of a liar. He told Ken his father died, but told Pete that he was recently nursed back to health! Mind. Blown. This could, however, all just be part of the sucking up.

Apparently we are not alone. Rolling Stone started a popular hashtag #WhoisBobBenson and apparently some real life humans have some popular theories about him (i.e. undercover law enforcement, a foil for Mr. Draper himself or even a love child!).

Not ones for ruining TV with conspiracy theories we just want to know if you can tolerate him or not?
