TV Show Idea: Say No to the Dress

nesbittslimesoda:

In it, you convince people they’re on Say Yes to the Dress and see how many ugly dresses it takes for them to figure out they’re not.

The Format - The First Single

So let’s cause a scene,

clap our hands and stomp our feet or somethin’,
 

yeah somethin’

I’ve just got to get myself over me

“Oh the road trips. Oh the packs and packs and packs of reds that I smoked. Oh the whiskey sours and the boone farms and the 5 am diners and the coffee, rice pudding, the late night phone calls, the hand written letters, the drumming on the steering wheel, the driving hours to share a few hours and kisses. Oh the dance parties in attics! Oh the swimming in waterfalls! Oh the times we had!”

all of that just went through my mind with in the half a second of pressing play to this song.

This album always reminds me of getting off the T by the Fenway stop and not telling anyone where I was going and getting this CD and it was really late and raining… and walking through the city and aw shit… I miss Boston.

For me, this song is Omaha sent to me via mix CD from Phoenix. Car dancing and clapping and milkshakes at 2 a.m.

So let’s make a list of who we need and it’s not much if anything
Let’s make a list of who we need and we’ll throw it away
‘Cause we don’t need anyone, no we don’t need anyone

Oh god, this is so perfect.

“We see you have a website here in which you give people what could best be described as arts and crafts ‘homework assignments’ of various sorts, but to be quite honest, we can’t make head or tail of it,”  Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said while consulting a laptop in order to view one of July’s perplexing Internet outlets, learningtoloveyoumore.com. “By all outward appearances, you seem to be doing just fine, financially speaking, but if money somehow directly or indirectly changes hands due to your online activities, it’s really completely beyond us how, or to what end.”

“If, for example, I wanted to buy something from you, how would I do it?” a visibly frustrated Schumer continued. “And what would it be? Would it be something I could hold in my hands?”

A book made me cry.

There are little streaks of mascara on the cuffs at the end of the sleeves of my hoodie and each one represents an emotion I desperately try not to feel every day. In a self-created bubble where things like empathy and sadness and remorse are deflected into some other life, we breathe deeply the oversaturated air — filtered, leaving behind only coping mechanisms and a sense of entitlement.

Every once in a while, the bubble pops and I remember that this earth is a place where people love and feel and die and miss each other when they’re gone.

From time to time, I accidentally remember how to be alive.

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.

The thing that struck me about this movie wasn’t the storyline, though I did enjoy it. It was all the brands that are included in the movie. It never felt like product placement, but it did make the movie feel a little less sterilized. It doesn’t live in this fantasy world where Charlize Theron can’t go into a Macy’s and ask for a Marc Jacobs dress. She doesn’t sit down at a bar and ask for whiskey, she orders Maker’s Mark by name. She cures her hangovers with food from KenTacoHut and a two-liter of diet coke while she stays at a Hampton Inn.
The brands in this movie exist like they do in real life.

This cover of Robyn’s Call Your Girlfriend done with cups of water and cottage cheese packaging is out of control good.
