  "D-V-R YOU READY FOR THIS TUESDAY?" I love murder shows. Dateline, 20/20, Snapped, On the Case with Paula Zahn etc. I don't know why. Is it because I like suspense? Is it because I find Keith Morrison extremely handsome? I think it's a little of column A and a little of column B. But I've been trying to enjoy more light hearted comedies since I'm having murder nightmares at least 5 times a week.  I've found three that are DVR ready that I wanted to share. 1) Hello, Ladies   Some good ol awkward Stephen Merchant is always welcome on my plate. (so is cheese. I love cheese) He plays a quirky web designer trying desperately to hook up…

  Note to readers--all photographs were taken by my Iphone of my television while I stood in Pajamas. Not bad, right?     1) LYDIA'S OUTFIT     Vince Gilligan famously plays a lot with color in Breaking Bad. (Think of the names Walter WHITE and Jesse PINKMAN). Colors represent certain themes and help give a subliminal depth to his most important scenes.

She is our link to that almost pure drug and she is the only  one left trying desperately to get it back. With all the other drama, it's actually easy to forget all about the meth but she…

  TOP TEN THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE TAKING YOUR HEADSHOT! BY TORY SHULMAN ORIGINALLY POSTED @ LINEBUDDIES.COM 1) Obviously if you want a smiling shot, make sure it is a REAL smile. If you lips are shut too tight, you look like a murderer holding in a secret. If your mouth is open too wide, you end up looking like psych patient trying to hold in all the pain. ***Helpful hint: Have your photographer say dirty words right before he shoots. Some of my favorites are: boobies, scrotum and taint. These always get a good smile. 2) Get your hair and makeup done PROFESSIONALLY. Unless you are a stylist for a living, pay the 100 dollars and get someone to…
