Desperate Housewives A lot goes on in the strange neighborhood of Wisteria Lane. Sneak into the lives of five women: Susan, a single mother; Lynette, a woman desperately trying to b alance family and career; Gabrielle, an exmodel who has everything but a good m arriage; Bree, a perfect housewife with an imperfect relationship and Edie Britt , a real estate agent with a rocking love life. These are the famous five of Des perate Housewives, a primetime TV show. Get an insight into these popular charac ters with these Desperate Housewives quotes. Susan Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself! How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery? Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Hey, I once killed a man. " Okay, yes I am closer to your father than I have been in the past, the bitter ha tred has now settled to a respectful disgust. Lynette Please hear me out this is important. Today I have a chance to join the human rac e for a few hours there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Loo k, I'm in a dress, I have makeup on. We didn't exactly forget. It's just usually when the hostess dies, the party is off. And I love you because you find ways to compliment me when you could just say, " I told you so." Gabrielle I want a sexy little convertible! And I want to buy one, right now! Why are all rich men such jerks? The way I see it is that good friends support each other after something bad has happened, great friends act as if nothing has happened. Love isn't enough. Where would we live? Here? With your roommates? The only deco ration in the bathroom is a bong! The only person more selfcentred than me is Carlos; he's so selfcentred he doe sn't even know how selfcentred I am. Bree Van De Kamp Oh, sweetie, they didn't abandon you because you're a whore, they abandoned you because you weren't all that nice to begin with. I'm taking my champagne and ageing eggs and I'm going. This is the way I see it, good friends offer to help in a crisis, great friends don't take no for an answer. Carlos, Gabrielle's husband Deals are meant to be renegotiated. Beating up a second gay guy looks bad. You wanna be a better mother? Do what my mama did, make sacrifices. My mama work ed her fingers to the bone for me. Sister Mary Money can't buy happiness. Father Crowley Don't be angry; be thankful, children are a gift. Reverend Sikes And over the years, we've had so many young people come to our ministry hating t hemselves for their unnatural desires, and within a few months, they've found an inner peace and a tranquillity that is nothing short of miraculous. Edie Of course I believe in evil I work in real estate. [edit] Season One [edit] Pilot Andrew: "I'm saying, do you always have to serve cuisine? Can't we just have foo d? Bree: "Are you doing drugs?" Andrew: "What?" Bree: "Change in behavior is one of the warning signs and you have been as fresh as paint over the last six months. That would explain why you're always locked in the bathroom." Danielle: "Trust me, that is not what he is doing." Andrew: "Shut up." Carlos: "It's business. Tanaka expects everyone to bring their wives." Gabrielle: "Every time I'm around that man, he tries to grab my ass." Carlos: "I made over $200,000 with him last week. If he wants to grab your ass, you let him." Carlos: "At the Donahue party, everyone was talking mutual funds and you found a way to mention you slept with half of the Yankee outfielders." Gabrielle: "I'm telling you, it came up in the context of the conversation." Rex (to Bree): "I'm sick of the bizarre way your hair doesn't move." Rex: "Since when do you make mistakes?" Bree: "What's that supposed to mean?" Rex: "It means that I'm sick of you being so damn perfect all the time. You're t his plastic suburban housewife with her pearls and her spatula who says things l ike 'We owe the Hendersons a dinner.'" Susan: "I just don't know how I'm going to survive this." Mary Alice: "Listen to me. We all have moments of desperation. But if we face th em head on, that's when we find out just how strong we really are." Susan: "Oh, I wouldn't eat that if I were you." Mike: "Why?" Susan: "I made it, trust me. Hey, hey, do you have a death wish?" Mike: "No, I just refuse to believe that anybody can screw up macaroni and chees e." Mike takes a bites of the macaroni, as SUSAN gestures apologetically, smiling Mike: "Oh my God. How did you...it tastes like it's burnt and undercooked." Susan: "Yeah, I get that a lot. Here you go." Danielle: "Why can't we ever have normal soup?" Bree: "Danielle, there is nothing abnormal about basil puree." Danielle: "Just once, couldn't we have a soup that people have heard of? Like, f rench onion or navy bean." Bree: "First of all, your father can't eat onions. He's deathly allergic. And I won't even dignify your navy bean suggestion. (pause) So, how's the osso buco?" Susan: "How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic sur gery?" Julie: "You look fine." Susan: "If you could cut back to two meals a day I could get a chemical peel." Julie: "Stop being so nervous, you're just asking him out to dinner. It's no big deal. " Susan: "You're right. (stalling) So, is that your project for school? You know i n 5th grade I made the white house out of sugar cubes." Julie: "Stop stalling and go. Before Mike figures out he can do better." Susan: (gapes at Julie) "Tell me again why I fought for custody of you?" Julie: "You were using me to hurt dad." Susan: "Oh, that's right." [edit] Ah, But Underneath Lady: "Listen, it seems to me like you have some anger management issues." Lynette: "I have four kids under the age of six. I absolutely have anger managem ent issues." Susan: "Julie? Mike Delfino just invited us to dinner Friday night." Julie: "He did? Cool." Susan: "But only I'm going. Because you're gonna come down with something semis erious that requires bedrest and fluids." Gabrielle: "So now you're taking Julie on your dinner date with Mike?" Susan: "Yeah, well, if Edie's gonna be there, I'm gonna need emotional support." Julie: "Dear Diary, Mike doesn't even know I'm alive." Susan: "Shut up." Julie: "If you wanna date him, you're gonna have to ask him out." Susan: "I keep hoping he'll ask me out." Julie: "How's that going?" Susan: "Shouldn't you be making brownies for your nerdy friends?" Gabrielle: "I can't believe she wormed her way in. How did you let her do that?" Susan: "I don't know, I was gonna take her out at the knees, but it all happened so fast." Gabrielle: "Well, you know what you need to do. You need to get there early, spe nd a little time with Mike before little barracuda gets there." Susan: "That's a good idea. Edie will get there at 5:45, which means her breasts will arrive at 5:30, so I should shoot for five." Bree: "It's the age old question. How much do really want to know about our neig hbors?" Gabrielle: "Do you know how bored I was today? I came this close to actually cle aning the house." Edie: "Oh God, look at all these things, all these beautiful things that my exh usbands worked so hard for, burnt to a crisp." [edit] Pretty Little Picture Rex: "So these tennis lessons we're taking. How are we doing?" Bree: "My back hand is improving immensely, but you're still having problems wit h your serve." Rex: "Of course." Paul: "Can I be frank?" Susan: "Of course." Paul: "I don't care what her reasons were. Maybe she was depressed. Maybe she wa s bored. It doesn't matter. She abandoned her husband and her son. And I'll neve r forgive her." Gabrielle: "How was school?" John: "I got an A minus in biology." Gabrielle: "Show me what you you learned." Susan: "Lynette?" Lynette: "I'm in." Bree: "I'll make braised lamb shanks." Lynette: "I'm still in." Zach: "You didn't put in an obituary?" Paul: "I've been busy." Zach: "Maybe when you die, I won't put in an obituary." Susan: "How could we have all forgotten about this?" Lynette: "We didn't exactly forget, it's just usually when the hostess dies that party is off." Bree: "Lynette!" Lynette: "I'm not being flip, I'm just pointing out a reality." Carl: "The heart wants what it wants." Susan: "Well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I can control myself!" Gabrielle: (to Ashley, about kissing) "And some people kiss their friends, it's like a highfive on the lips!" Bree: "Rex cries after he ejaculates." [edit] Who's that Woman? Martha: "I was just thinking of that expression, Ill make mincemeat out of you.

    Say Yes to the Text

    Journal of Contemporary Rhetoric, Vol. 5, No.1/2, 2015, pp. 42-49. Say Yes to the Text Jennifer Burg In this essay, the author describes her experience as a participant in the reality television show Say Yes to the Dress. She delves into the production aspects of the show and her own feelings of identification with the production staff. She also considers the multiple audiences, both present and not present, in applying for, producing, and par- ticipating in a reality television show. Keywords: Audience, Autoethnography, Bridal Rituals, Femininity, Reality Television, Wedding Rituals Proposal For years when we were single, my best friend Jackie and I would come home from late nights out in NYC, climb into her bed with bowls of cereal, and watch TV until we fell asleep. Our fa- vorites were shows that aired on TLC, and of those we most loved Say Yes to the Dress. We took great pleasure in watching the brides-to-be try on, reject and select their dream dresses in the sparkly showroom of Kleinfeld, in the heart of Manhattan. We critiqued every ensemble, mar- veled at every price point, and added our own snarky commentary to that of the friends and fami- ly who came along to assist the soon-to-be-wed. We scrutinized everything from the tiaras to the toe clips and the whole lot in between. We had our favorite designers, and we knew the Kleinfeld consultants by name. Never did we think that we might actually have the experience that we so often watched: Jackie has two kids and is divorced; I was engaged once years ago, but that didn’t work out.

    JULIETA by Pedro Almodóvar

    JULIETA by Pedro Almodóvar Julieta’s three houses in Madrid, at the three different stages in the story: House 1 is the one she shares with her daughter Antía, after Xoan’s death. 19, Fernando VI, Third Floor. From 1998 to 2006-2007. House 2 is the one to which she moves, after throwing out all the reminders of her daughter. A neutral, ugly neighborhood far from the center. Shortly after, Ava dies and Lorenzo appears in her life. 2006-2007 to 2016. House 3 is in the same building as House 1, 19, Fernando VI, Second Floor. Julieta moves there immediately after her encounter with Beatriz. At that moment she decides to stay in Madrid and not go to Portugal with Lorenzo. From 2016 to the end. 1. MADRID. JULIETA’S HOUSE 2. INT. IN THE MORNING. 2016. SPRING A red fabric fills the screen. Over it appear the opening credits. At first it gives a sensation of stillness, but with the insistence of the shot we discover that the fabric is moving, a slight, rhythmic movement. We discover that the fabric is the front of a dress and that Julieta’s heart is beating inside it. Julieta, an attractive woman of 55, independent and full of determination, a mixture of timidity and daring, fragility and courage. Blond. She is sitting next to a bookcase, surrounded by cardboard boxes, the kind used for moving house. She picks up a sculpture of naked, seated man, with the color and texture of terracotta (some 8 inches high), and wraps it carefully in bubble wrap.

    'Perfect Fit': Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity

    ‘Perfect Fit’: Industrial Strategies, Textual Negotiations and Celebrity Culture in Fashion Television Helen Warner Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Film and Television Studies Submitted July 2010 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author's prior, written consent. Helen Warner P a g e | 2 ABSTRACT According to the head of the American Costume Designers‟ Guild, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, fashion is emphatically „not costume‟. However, if this is the case, how do we approach costume in a television show like Sex and the City (1998-2004), which we know (via press articles and various other extra-textual materials) to be comprised of designer clothes? Once onscreen, are the clothes in Sex and the City to be interpreted as „costume‟, rather than „fashion‟? To be sure, it is important to tease out precise definitions of key terms, but to position fashion as the antithesis of costume is reductive. Landis‟ claim is based on the assumption that the purpose of costume is to tell a story. She thereby neglects to acknowledge that the audience may read certain costumes as fashion - which exists in a framework of discourses that can be located beyond the text. This is particularly relevant with regard to contemporary US television which, according to press reports, has witnessed an emergence of „fashion programming‟ - fictional programming with a narrative focus on fashion.
