| | rantnrave:// Are mainstream sportswriters turning liberal in response to PRESIDENT TRUMP? Or are they just suddenly speaking out? ... Big debate with friends over the best television shows of all time. THE WIRE. THE SOPRANOS. BREAKING BAD. WEST WING. GAME OF THRONES. ALL IN THE FAMILY. All there, but Breaking over Wire. I can't admit to that. What are yours?... And what are the "B" (at best) movies you watch every time they're on cable?... This is an awesome BOND villain house... Even more artists writing, recording, and talking about writing and recording, classic songs in MusicSET: "Behind the Song, Vol.4 "... Seasonal fashion shows have been part of the fashion industry since the early 20th century. With larger audiences than ever before, fashion week formats are beginning to change. Read these articles in our FashionSET: "Breaking the System: Fashion Week Flux" for why it's happening, which brands are changing, and why others are sticking to tradition... More interesting than vague tweets are the backstories some make up in their head accompanied by their advice.... The law of too many chances. Results don't change after that number. Sometimes a housecleaning is the only way... Happy Birthday to JENNIFER WORTHINGTON, GEOFFREY WHELAN, NICK GRUDIN and ADRIAN AOUN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
