@avrilmai and @zamora_spin Yes Orphan Black! I'm iffy on this season. I mean it's not bad but I have some ridiculously high expectations because it is the last season.

purplg8r

@looeeze I'm not sure where since I don't have T mobile myself. Maybe somewhere on their site?

Avrilmai

@zamora_spin I'm enjoying it. I like that they're doing some focusing in on each of the main characters. I just want to know what's going to happen! I wish I had rewatched the series before this season started. A full year between seasons has me a little fuzzy on the details. You may be able to check out the last 2 episodes on BBC America. I'm pretty sure they have an app or the website. 

Avrilmai

@KariAnn323 Re: expectations, me too! I also just marvel at her acting. I really do forget that it is the same woman. Each character is so nuanced. 

KariAnn323

@avrilmai She's amazing. I don't remember what awards show it was but she or the show won and I was like wait they're missing people.

Just had my first burlesque master class! It's kind of cool that I've been doing burlesque long enough that I knew some of my classmates and our guest speaker. Our theme for the showcase is cheese, so all the ideas I had are right out the window. How am I going to incorporate cheese into stripping?

doxiemoxie212

@jsnakehole be a string cheese and pull off little strings of cheese until you're nakers!

@KariAnn323 @Avrilmai @zamora_spin Y'all make me want to start watching Orphan Black! I've definitely thought about it since it looks really good when the previews come on during Doctor Who and Broadchurch. 

jsnakehole

@doxiemoxie212 that's actually kind of brilliant. IIRC you're based in NY? Maybe you have a future in burlesque you hadn't considered?

KariAnn323

@fishsticks-n-custard You should totally watch it!

Before and after picks of hair in spoiler. I love it!

doxiemoxie212

@jsnakehole yes I am in NYC, and I would be thrilled to help with concepting for burlesque (!!!), but my lack of coordination definitely puts me firmly on the burlesque bench lol. I can barely take off my jeans when I get home without falling over. I could be like the warm up joker act before the burlesque show? Lol. "Well folks, it can only get better from here!" 

fishsticks-n-custard

@KariAnn323 That looks amazing! Rock it, girl!

looeeze

@KariAnn323 That is gorgeous. I love the cut and the depth of color.

pebbledam

@KariAnn323 - Your hairs are so pretty! But I also love the curls!!

izza2

@KariAnn323 - Loooove your hair!!
I really need to re-colour my hair, but... I either never have the time, or never have the money.

I "took today off" (aka, forgot to tell my scheduler I was available) to do house work, and now I'm trying to figure out how late I can wait to start and still get it all done.

KariAnn323

@fishsticks-n-custard, @looeeze, @pebbledam, and @izza2 Thank you for all the complements
@pebbledam Don't worry the curls/wave will be back. My hair doesn't diffuse well, but she wanted it dry for before and after pictures on her FB page so we did a blow out.
@izza2 Have a great day off!

zamoraspin

@KariAnn323 Your hair looks great! I love the color!
@Avrilmai and @KariAnn323 BBC America does indeed have the episodes streaming but I couldn't stream because I couldn't find my cable provider on their list. After digging around some gross parts of the internet trying to find the episodes bootleg style I figured out that Amazon will let you buy each episode for $2.99... so I just went ahead and did that for the two I missed because I want to be caught up before the next episode. I watched episode 4 so far. Not sure about this guy in the woods development but it makes sense that the Ledas and Castors were not the first attempt. 
Also, @fishsticks-n-custard Orphan Black is a great show - and especially the first several seasons were totally riveting. Admittedly there is one season that is not as great mixed in, but I like that they decided to keep it to five seasons (even though I'll miss it) because it is the kind of show where stuff gets a bit nuts and it's good to have a plan in mind for how it all wraps up. 

pebbledam

Hey guys! You know how we did that celebrity lookalike GTKY thread awhile back? I have finally happened across a German actress that I resemble and it's pretty cool! I've never thought anyone famous looked like me or vice versa! Pic below of Vicky Krieps!

doxiemoxie212

Does anyone watch The Challenge on MTV????

Are the little green checkmark icons by people's names new?

Who has check marks?
I don't see any..

ETA:
Oh wait, do you mean the little icon where they also have the cakes and hearts and talk bubble things? I think they've been here a while. I think. I really have no idea.

You have one @izza2! It's if someone makes a discussion post and labels it as a question- if you reply and OP picks your response as "best answer" then you get a check mark icon by your name.

pebbledam

@kbamomma33 - Oooh, I wanna get a checkmark! 

lurvleybunchococonuts

Oh, so I found one of those short cooking videos the other day on FB, and I'm totally gonna attempt to make homemade noodles this weekend.  If they turn out good that totes means we're gonna GKTFU right?  

looeeze

@justkeepswimming8 @vflux33 Leftovers only got one Emmy nom, Ann Dowd for best guest actress. THIS IS BULLSHIT. 

doxiemoxie212

@lurvleybunchococonuts I have made pasta at home before, and it is super fun! Are you going to make your own sauce? I made one from a buzzfeed video on FB, and it was v easy and super yum. TBD whether you'll get KU from it, but it can't hurt, right? 

(Side note: if we all agree to just pretend bathing in a tub full of noodles will DEFINITELY get you pregnant, do you think we can start an internet hoax trend???)

lurvleybunchococonuts

@doxiemoxie212 LMAO, you mean that's not how you get ktfu?  I think I'm gonna start "noodle tracking" on FF next cycle  I'll have to decide what to make with it sauce wise (tomato, alfredo, asian stir-fry, etc). hmm... so many choices!

justkeepswimming8

@looeeze and @vflux33


Not cool.

vflux33

**Lurker/siggy warning**

@looeeze @justkeepswimming8 That sucks but TBH I haven't trusted or put any stock whatsoever in Emmys/Grammys/Oscars etc. since I was a kid. It was so not a mainstream show that part of me is surprised there are any nominations at all. It was always gonna get robbed! Patti was good though. I know you're sad about Nora, @looeeze. I'm sure she'll appreciate your next inevitable tweet.   

looeeze

@vflux33 YOU KNOW I ALREADY TWEETED HER ABOUT THIS

petethecat

@vflux33



@KariAnn323 I love your hair! So pretty! 

vflux33

@kbamomma33 I miss you too! I have had to physically restrain myself from commenting here over the last week or two... 

OK fading back into lurker status now ...  wishing and BFPs to all of you guys!!

jsnakehole

So many drivebys and I can't comment on any. I just want to lemonade!

doxiemoxie212

y'all, no one uses this board. we could co-opt it for TTGP more regular reunions. maybe no one else has as much time on their hands as i do, though... lol 

lurvleybunchococonuts

Ok, so I know it's a troll, but I can't even deal with this amount of a-hole right now.  Apparently TWW hormones are coming out to play  @ myself no more clicky on troll thread.  Will just make myself more mad. End ranting about jerks

It pissed me off at first, and then she kept going at it and making herself look like even more of an idiot, and it made me laugh a lot.
Also, everyone's responses and gifs are 100% on point.

lurvleybunchococonuts

@izza2 I got to the point of laughing eventually, but seriously I will never understand why people do that.  What's the appeal?  Who sits down and decides "I'm gonna go taunt a bunch of ladies online for fun"?  I always try to see the best in people, so that just makes ZERO sense to me.

doxiemoxie212

@lurvleybunchococonuts honestly, if she really is that person she listed, completely plausible she was being serious. Some people are just straight up nuts.

Sick lonely narcissists who need attention.

lurvleybunchococonuts

I guess, but like... go outside, hug a tree if you're that miserable and living creature cannot stand to be around you.  I cannot wrap mind around it.  *shrug* oh well
