Are you dressing up for Halloween?

Illustrator Kiersten Essenpreis dressed her baby Harlan as Jerry Seinfeld's crazy Uncle Leo. Amazing, right? Apparently, she had the idea last Halloween when she was still pregnant: "I thought, 'If he's still bald by Halloween, we're doing it!' "
Haha I love this shot. And what did her baby think? "Everything was attached so lightly, he didn't even notice it," she said. "The hardest part was actually finding a purple turtleneck onesie for him."
Nailed it.

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? How about your little ones?

P.S. Toby as a giraffe, and a genius costume for adults.

Wine etiquette

Wine etiquette

As summer approaches, here's a savvy party tip that a reader once shared...

"Never ask a guest if she'd like more wine, even if it's her fifth glass. It's better to say 'Would you like some wine,' as if you're filling her glass for the very first time."

Good tip, right? Also, this is interesting: Why they don't drink wine on Mad Men.
P.S. More etiquette tips, including how to eat dinner and how to introduce someone.

Fargo TV show

Fargo TV show

Have you been watching the new Fargo TV show? The storyline is different from the movie, but it strikes that rare Coen-Brothers-esque balance of funny and creepy.

As the NYTimes review said: "Fargo finds humor in the stunning ordinariness of Midwestern small towns, where people are uniformly even tempered and mild, bringing Jell-O salads to potlucks and saying 'aw jeez' and 'heck' when bad things happen. The snow tamps down so much: In Minnesota, even some of the killers have placid miens and pleasant manners."

It's really gripping (and on tonight at 10pm, if you're interested). Alex and I are really into it. What other shows are you watching these days?

P.S. The 100 best written TV series, and binge watching.

For a little comedy break on this cloudy Wednesday, here's Louis C.K. on Saturday Night Live. I laughed out loud over his valley girl voice. Love that guy.

P.S. Seinfeld reruns, and how to write a joke.

Whoa, this is nuts: Joe Sabia spent the last year and a half creating The Office Time Machine, in which he has organized all the cultural references in The Office by year. For example, above is 1995, and below is 2011...
Look up any year you'd like. It's so addicting!
