I’m officially back, after a long four or five days of intense family stuff going on. Thanks so much to Eliza for filling in with some great “six degrees” style fun for us! I’m thinking we might have to ask her back more often, as I had no idea there were so many great connections to be made! Over the next few days I’ll be getting caught back up with all the Showtime-related gossip, getting my L Word review and picks up for you all, and so much more. For now here’s some of the goodness that’s been coming across the “google reader” wire!

  • Tudors-inspired fashion hit New York Fashion week big this year. I’ve seen several sources quote the time period as inspiration for their fall lines (the fashion industry shows their upcoming fall lines in the spring months and vice-versa, so that all the starlets can be properly informed of what to buy). It was all jewel tones, flowing dresses and skirts, etc. Tons of beadwork and pouty, Ann Bolyn inspired looks rounded it all off. I don’t have any links, unfortunately, but open any fashion magazine over the next few months and you’ll know what I’m talking about!
  • Dexter was a hit last night, as it aired the first episode of season one, edited for the general public. The most noticable difference? Deb’s language! Word has it Jennifer Carpenter had to spend hours in a taping studio to redo much of Deb’s potty mouth in order to make her character suitable for national television! Everyone’s talking about the show, though, which means good news for Showtime for sure!

As I get caught up, I’ll have a lot more info for you, including some L Word videos, and engagement announcement and how my L Word Fantasy Challenge gals did this week (and my picks for next week!)
