A little late I know, but between keeping up with the newest slots on the small screen and getting back to my old favourites, I don't know where I've been. After the TV dry spell of the summer, I may not be delighting in the change in temperature, but what the thermometer lacks on the outside, it more than makes up for on the inside. I never thought I'd love a remake of an 90's classic, but I've got to say Melrose Place has earned itself a spot on my DVR (it's kind of like t boardgame clue, set to the small screen, but more fabulous and set in an LA gated community instead of am odd old creepy mansion). Isn't Ashley Simpson's character more creepy than the crypt keeper? Curiously enough I think I'm actually starting to like The Beautiful Life, wait don't disown me! All things considered when I remember back to the early days of Gossip Girl as hard as I've tried to forget, the Pilot was absolutely terrible, and the Beautiful Life was actually not nearly as atrocious. No one was styled right and the episode may have actually left me reeling from inaccuracy. Back to the future, Gossip Girl is back, and I have to say as much as I've missed it I'm still waiting for it to get really interesting, everyone's happy, well except the brooding, tortured Serena (which isn't the least bit interesting), and of course Blair's got her mountains to conquer (which she eventually will). As for Mad Men, I wish now, more than ever that I was alive in the 60s, the hairstyles, the clothes and the smell of sex in the office come together to create one sinful Sunday. As I sit here typing away I find myself selecting a few unexpected shows to fill my tv fix. Michelle Trachenberg may be giving Blair Waldorf a run for her money and snuggling up to Dan Humphrey, much to my dismay, but I'm interested in seeing what she does with her role on the new wannabe Grey's Anatomy -- Mercy. As I mourn the loss of Lipstick Jungle I'm still searching for the fall show that will fill that void... any ideas?

My Fall Lineup

I'll Move to Rockferry
Okay so I know my mandate above says tv, movies, books, and fashion but there's something that's not one of those things that I have to make my feelings known about. I think it’s safe to say that everyone loves music, those of us who are tone deaf included. Besides the fact that I love the song "Mercy" (you may have heard it in the Grey’s Anatomy Season Finale) and that this album has been touted with the silver medal on Flare Magazine’s "Summer Soundtrack" list this album has a lot more to say than "pick me up". Yes, when I'm driving in my car I'd probably rather hear tracks that I can belt out like Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" or Usher's "Love in this Club" but there’s something about Duffy's debut album "Rockferry" that is so soothing. I can't think of a record that I would rather listen to while getting my much appreciated vitamin D intake or while I'm relaxing at home. Duffy's fusion of her soothing vocals with her Motown like sound has an infectious vibe that has me just about ready to call this one of the best summer albums. She’s reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, minus the drugs and the rehab. Every girl that's ever had a guy that give her too little too late should love "Delayed Devotion", in Duffy’s words “don’t waste your money on syrup and honey because [she’s] sweet enough”. Whether you buy the album, download it, or stream it, just give it a listen.
