What happened to Blossom?




If you are around my age, you watched the plethora of 1990's sitcoms that overtook the only networks that were on television at the time. Undoubtedly, you watched Mayim Bialik as Blossom, the quirky, independent, funny girl that dealt with the pre-teen angst we all felt growing up, complete with all the worst parts of '90's accessories. And remember her friend Six? Ridiculous...

So, to my surprise, my favorite friggin' show in the whole world, TLC'S What Not To Wear, tackled poor Ms. Bialik on the streets of NYC to make her extreme shapelessness over into stylish Mom-ishness.

Even bigger shocker? She's got 2 kids and a Ph.D. in NEUROSCIENCE. Child star turned Mom turned Ph.D. turned fashion victim. Reality TV just doesn't get better than this, does it?

Speaking of "The Fashion Show..."



...alas, 'tis a poor substitute for "Project Runway." Although I respect Isaac Mizrahi as a designer, he is no match for the hilarious and constructive Tim Gunn and, let's face it - Kelly Rowland vs. Heidi Klum? Not happening, lovelies. Heidi definitely wins in that smackdown, don't you think?

That does NOT, however, keep me from watching a reality/competition show about fashion my dearies! While suffering through most of the first episodes of Bravo's newest fashion reality show, I was sucked into the T.V. shameless marketing and money-making machine for just a moment when designer Daniella won Week 2 and after I heard you can buy the winning looks from each week (see what I mean about the machine?).

Sans the scary sheer bomber jacket thing, Daniella's Short Bustier Jumpsuit is sexy, stylish and has an interesting shape all at one time. I really like the exaggerated neckline and the not-too-short shorts. Love love love it with dark tights but could see it working just as well with a pair of bare legs and wedges. And at just $119 through BravoShop, it's at a pretty decent price for designer clothing, no?

Do I click "Buy Now" or not? Still deciding on whether it's a worthy addition to the already overpacked and underused wardrobe...
