game of thrones ladies at the 2012 emmy awards

Several of the ladies of Game of Thrones made an appearance on the Emmy red carpet (The show was nominated for Best Drama). Lena rocked her usual gothic queen look that suits her so well, and Emilia wore white (Again. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen her in not a white dress). Peter Dinklage (who was nominated for Best Supporting again, even though he was lead actor this season) and Richard Madden were also there, but they were just wearing basic black tuxes. There were no wins for the show at the awards last night, but the show did pick up 6 Creative Arts Emmys last week. I think it won the most overall with those six, but it's still disappointing that a genre show can't win at the regular awards.

april is an embarassment of TV riches

For some strange reason, almost no new shows premiered this winter season (at least, nothing that I was really interested). But after 3 months of TV boredom, all my favourites (and new shows that I have been interested since their announcement) are coming! I like to think it's all for my birthday, because I'm self centred like that, so thank you cable!




First of all, Game of Thrones! April 1st!! Yaaaaaay! HBO has released like, a trailer a week for the past two months, building the hype, but here's the latest one. Also: I saw Melisandre's costume guys! It was AWESOME!



Next up, premiering on April 6th, is Starz's Magic City. It's their take on a midcentury period piece, a la Mad Men. But it's starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who is amazing), is more of a crime drama, and takes place in 1950s Miami, so I think it's going to be a very different show. If it can stand up to Mad Men, which is back this Sunday (!!!) though, remains to be seen.



The Borgias also comes back on April 6th! I love The Borgias, second hottest cast on TV after GoT! And this season looks to be even more action packed than the last!



From Tiny Furniture Writer and Director Lena Dunham, and producer Judd Apatow, this is cable's answer to the trend of 20-something young women sitcoms. And as a twenty something young women, I appreciate being represented. I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but for a really long time most shows starring women were either about teenage girls or women who are 35+! I think the only show with a twenty something was Ugly Betty (remember Ugly Betty?).



Veep is another HBO show, from Thick of It creator Armando Iannucci. It also stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus AND Tony Hale (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT REUNION!!!) so I am THERE with bells on. It premieres April 22.

helmut lang f/w rtw based on game of thrones?

Supposedly this collection was based on the show, but I really don't see it? Just in this one outfit whose collar reminds me of Varys' robes, and the blood spattered effects that remind me of Dany eating that horse's heart. I guess the knits could be seen as kind of chainmail-inspired. But otherwise, what?
See the full collection here at Women's Wear Daily.

kit harrington in men's journal

Since Game of Thrones' second season is about to start in 50 DAYS (yes I'm counting, Mad Men is in 44!) , the gang of course have been hitting the magazine circuit. Here's a fashion spread featuring Kit Harrington in Men's Journal! Also Vogue or Elle totally needs to do something with all of the ladies from GoT, don't you think? I would buy so many copies.

Emilia looks great, and I'm loving Lena's hair, but that entire outfit does not go together. I'M SORRY LENA HEADEY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, but no.
