Something A little Different: Quinn Fabray Braids: Part 1
Make sure you check out part 2 with my own tutorial on how to do the braids here
I realize this is a TV blog, but one of my other favorite things is hair and beauty. So today I'm bringing you a post about Quinn Fabray's aka Dianna Agron's hair.
Agron plays the pregnant cheerleader, Quinn Fabray, on the hit TV series GLEE. Although Fabray starts out as a ponytail-wearing, bitchy cheerleader, once head coach Sue Sylvester (played by the wonderful Jane Lynch) kicks her off the squad, Fabray becomes much calmer and begins to let her hair down. One of my favorite of her hairstyles, of course, is the side braid look. In the episode entitled Mattresses (as seen in the the picture) and in this song, Papa Don't Preach:
If you want to do the braids yourself, here is a decent tutorial on the side braid:
and here is even a more basic tutorial if you don't know how to french braid:
I'll be back later with a part 2 with pictures of my own hair with Quinn Fabray braids!

Dogs 101
I have to admit, I love Animal Planet. It's one of my favorite things to watch as I'm trying to fall asleep (unless I'm at school, where I can't--because Temple University doesn't have it).
Regardless, while I do enjoy falling asleep to giraffes grazing, one of my favorite shows to watch is Dogs 101.
The series Dogs 101 offers info that any person searching for a new pet would want to know about specific breeds. Occasionally it includes a story about how a specific breed was important to its owners. One was about how a lhasa apso was saved by its owners and in return alerted them in a fire.

I think I want a lhasa apso or an Italian Greyhound.

Review of "Girls Vs. Suits"
Sorry for making this review kind of short. I've got a terrible headache and need to get to bed.
But on with the review!
For a 100th episode that I expected to be over-the-top, I thought it was okay. I thought that Barney's trouble with the suit vs. girl was written well, Barney would in fact do anything just to get a girl in bed. I LOVED his musical number (but then again, I'm extremely partial to musicals).
The one thing that annoyed me in this episode was Lily constantly questioning how the Bartender was way more good looking than she herself was. It just seemed out of character to me. I feel like Lily is confident in herself to know that she was no ugly duckling. I did, however, like it when the writers instead decided to turn it around to make it that Lily did think the bartender was better looking than Marshall. Because, lets face it, she is.
I was sad that Rachel Bilson's role was short. I really wanted her to be the mother, but I knew better. I think it was just because she kind of looked like Ted's teenage daughter. But, according to Ted, the mother is Bilson's roommate. So will we possibly see more of Bilson? I hope so.
Check out this video of the cast's favorite moments of the first 100 episodes: Top Moments of How I Met Your Mother.
The song, "Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit" has been available on Itunes since December 5th.
Check back here soon for reasons why I love South Park and a trip back to the past as I revisit Veronica Mars!

What Do three of my favorite TV shows have in common?
Glee, The OC, and How I Met Your Mother all come together in tonight's 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother airing tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS. Stop reading now if you'd like avoid being spoiled about the upcoming episode.
Glee choreographer Zach Woodlee designed a huge number for tonight's HIMYM episode. The musical number centers on how Barney (played by actor Neil Patrick Harris) gives up suits in order to woo a bartender and is titled: “Nothing Suits Me Like A Suit” and features Barney dancing on top of a taxi cab.
Also, "OC" star Rachel Bilson makes an appearance in the episode.
Check in later for a review of the episode!

Glee Renewed for A Second Season!
Even though I just completed a post, I couldn't help but take a moment to squee about how I just learned (via many Glee cast member's twitter posts) that Glee was renewed (early!) for a second season.
What shows are you looking forward to being renewed?

My New Favorite Television 'Ship'
According to Wikipedia, "Shipping"is
"a general term for fans' emotional and/or intellectual involvement with the ongoing development of romance in a work of fiction. Though technically applicable to any such involvement, it refers chiefly to various related social dynamics observable on the Internet, and is seldom used outside of that context.
Shipping can involve virtually any kind of relationship — from the well-known and established, to the ambiguous or those undergoing development, and even to the highly improbable and the blatantly impossible. People involved in shipping (or shippers) assert that the relationship does exist, will exist, or simply that they would like it to exist."
So basically, it's the term that those of us who religiously watch TV have for our favorite couples, who may or may not actually be a couple on the show.
If you've read my recent posts, you know that I have recently developed a love for CBS's long running show, How I Met Your Mother. This brings me to my current favorite ship, Lily and Marshall. One reason I usually hate "ships" is because directors keep the couple everyone is routing for apart until the last couple of moments of the show (see Luke and Lorelai in "Gilmore Girls", Summer and Seth from "The OC", and Meredith and Derek from "Grey's Anatomy"). Why do they do this? Probably because they fear the couple will get boring. I think that almost all TV revolves around couples (hence why so many of us love "shipping".)
What I like most about Lily and Marshall is that they were together from the first episode (during which they got engaged), and except for a brief episode arc where Lily ran away to San Fransisco (HIMYM writers, I forgive for this brief lapse in judgement), they've been together for virtually the whole series. Although I love all three of the "ships" I previously mentioned, I can't help but admire how the writers make Lily and Marshall work without all the crazy drama.
So what's your favorite television ship?
