I would really like to check out Howard Schatzs book In Character: Actors Acting.  He gives actors situations and captures their reactions on film.  

Amy Poehler: Left: You are sneaking a peek, in the middle of the night, at your sweet new boyfriend’s computer … and discovering e-mails to and from his three current “other” girlfriends. ~ Center: You are a Park Avenue matron, paying your husband a surprise visit at his office and discovering him on the couch in flagrante delicto with his secretary. ~ Right: You are a disoriented homeless woman being arrested for loitering.

Hugh Laurie:Left: You are a dedicated father who, with your wife, has just sat down to dinner with your 15-year-old daughter, who is defiantly announcing that she’s pregnant. ~ Center: You are a fashion designer on the morning of your big runway show, realizing that nothing in the collection is ready or fabulous.  ~ Right: You are a blustering, pompous member of the British Parliament, giving a speech that is being broadcast on the BBC, and you’re thrilled at the sound of your own voice.

Jeff Goldblum:Left: You’re the surly 14-year-old son of a single mother, steeling yourself as she awkwardly, haltingly begins a belated and unnecessary “birds and bees” talk.  ~ Center: You’re at your daughter’s college graduation, and the pretty classmate of hers that you’ve been secretly ogling has just said, “Mr. Lefkowitz, you can’t be 58—you’re too cool!”  ~ Right: You’re the valedictorian of your high-school class, having just been introduced to give the speech of your young life—and your mind has gone completely blank.

Minimalist TV posters by Albert Exergian here.

The Dexter poster is my favorite.

I have never seen the show Prison Break, but I like his poster for it.

I am just now looking at the pictures of Heidi Montag after her ten plastic surgeries in one day.  They just make me feel really bad.  This young woman is a year younger than me (!) and has already had all of these plastic surgeries?  Why do women let themselves believe that there are so many things wrong with them?  It is our eccentricities and differences that make us beautiful.  

Sure this girl may have gotten on your nerves, but she was physically beautiful.  She didn’t need any surgeries at all much less ten.  

I think all she really needed was a hug and some therapy geeze.

Lisa Ling was on the Today show this morning talking about a documentary she has done with the National Geographic Channel called Explorer – Narco State.

The show focuses on Phoenix, Arizona – which has apparently become a huge drug area and the SECOND KIDNAPPING CAPITOL IN THE WORLD.  This is unbelievable to me.  They also go to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico – which National Geographic tells me is the deadliest city in North America.  It airs this Sunday, the 13th….imma watch it.

After eating our turkey today, the husband went to call his Aunt and I flipped through the channels and landed on Rupauls Drag Race, which I had never watched before. I just turned it on and started surfing the interwebs. I wasn’t really paying any attention and then I heard this voice. I look up and sure enough it is Santino Rice from Project Runway. His voice immediately made me smile and youtube these Santino Rice as Tim Gunn classics.

This last one is his Michael Kors impression.

The first Big Love promo.

It really is quite beautiful.  I would like to see a making of this promo.

This Matthew Williamson bright pink suit?  Heidi rocked it for the Project Runway finale and I was drooling.

This Thanksgiving, we aren’t going home.  It is going to be just us two…well three with Klaus!  We didn’t go home for Christmas last year, therefore cooked our own Christmas dinner.  This year I’m looking forward to cooking some good eats for Thanksgiving.  When we started to discuss our menu, the husband reminded me how much he loves fried turkey.  At the mention of doing it ourselves, my heart immediately jumped in my throat and I exclamed “NO WAY!”  Hey, I’ve seen the fire videos and they terrify me.  

Here is the husbands favorite Food Network personality….dun DUN dun DUNNNNNN-Alton Brown!  He is going to show us a turkey fryer fire, and how to avoid one.

Just want the fire?  2:28
