With the release of McQueen, the documentary about the legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen, I got to thinking about the other fashion documentaries I watched, like The September Issue, Dior and I, and Four Seasons With Dior. A few years ago, I flipped on the TV and began watching a documentary on “supermodels.” It didn’t feature Gisele Bundchen or Miranda Kerr or Cindy Crawford, but it featured such timeless icons as Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, and Paulina Porizkova, and many other supermodels of their time.

Dinner Party with the Cast of Will & Grace

Will & Grace reboot 2017

For eight seasons, the cast of Will & Grace were a part of my life. Although Will Truman and Grace Adler may have been considered the main characters, I probably enjoyed watching Karen Walker and Jack McFarland just as much, if not more. So when it was announced that they were bringing the show back, I was ecstatic! Since it’s latest premier back at the end of September of this year, I haven’t missed an episode. My love for these characters is why I’ve invited Will, Grace, Jack and Karen to my house for a little {imaginary} dinner party. If you haven’t […]
