Well, I see that I’m going to have to start watching this asap.
Welp, this seems like it would be relevant. Except for the, uh, sperm-stealing.
Ah, we’ve all done it. And by “we all” I guess I just mean Liz Jones.
And that lady on the news!
I had not even heard of this and it’s already become my favorite show.
In related news, Gabrielle Union, HOW DO YOU NEVER AGE? She is 40 damn years old and if she did a sequel to Bring It On right this instant I would completely buy her as a college student.
Yeah I need to watch this. Also, if you watch the whole trailer, Cheaty McBastard’s actual name is Omari Hardwick. Hardwick. I’ll just bet it is. *leers*
Professional yet whimsical blazers! So elusive in the real world, sigh.
No kidding, y’all, I may watch She’s All That this holiday weekend because America, right?
Whoa, sounds like the perfect summer show! Sperm stealing? Rihanna? Red wine? Cheating bastards? I am there!

This is a movie, right? A made-for-TV movie? This post is categorized in “Movies” and the trailer says it is a movie, but three of the comments refer to it as a “show,” making me think they think it is a serialized/episodic TV show. I can’t really justify how annoyed that made me, ostensibly because it feels like they’re just commenting to comment without reading the post or watching the trailer. However, I need not justify my annoyance.
The premiere is technically a stand-alone film but it looks like it’s going to be picked up as a TV series next fall. So both terms are correct and you need not feel annoyed, even the slightest bit.
Is a Straw Fedora the Straw Feminist’s distaff counterpart? Or is there an actual fedora made out of straw? Because, not to be a hatsplainer, but I don’t think a hat can be made of straw and also be called a fedora.
thumbs up for “hatsplainer”! also, I have definitely seen fedora-shaped hats made out of straw, but are proper fedoras only supposed to be wool or something? what is the name for the straw version?
According to Wikipedia fedoras are made of felt. I believe a straw hat that looks sort of like a fedora is called a Panama hat (I am not really a hat wearer). Wikipedia describes the Panama as “a fine and expensive hat made in Ecuador.”
I’m having a nice time exchanging Wikipedia facts with you today in the Toast comments.
Me too! Although you could have saved me 2 minutes of creepily going through Hairpin articles/comments by changing your Toastname earlier 😉
