Okay, let's face it Beverly Hills, 90210 is the best show of all time. It just is. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's a fact. Don't attempt to dispute it. Moving on...
I'm wavering between moderately to majorly upset that Jackie Taylor passed on due to cancer in this week's 90210. There was so much more to explore with Jackie's character, but I take solace in the fact that Jackie is now safe and unaltered by the new writers from her original glory. Back in the golden age of the series her wardrobe was dope. Jackie was and is extremely aesthetically pleasing. Super matchy matchy just how a womyn with that much self-respect ought to dress. Her hair, California blonde and perfectly quaffed. Her bathing suits? Her clip on earrings?? I mean come on. So put together. So much pizazz. She defied her age and did what ever she wanted. Rightly put herself above all others. Everything she was I respect: married several times, former model, alcoholic, coke habit, rehab survivor and not to mention the most spectacular MC at the West Beverly mother daughter fashion show ever. Let's be honest, did Jackie ever utter a word that wasn't true?
Aside from the character's total awesomeness, Ann Gillespi, who played her, was an outstanding actress. I don't believe she ever got her due credit for making Jackie's character bigger than life. She took that show to another level. Ann Gillespi, wherever you are... you rock the tree tops! You really do. I freaking adore you. You lived and breathed Jackie Taylor and for that I applaud you. Job well done! Bravo!
Here is some of her best work : part 1 part 2
Here's a fun little montage of mother daughter footage to a tune of Taylor Swift.

Word to St. Vincent
So I'm not going sit here and write about how my world was shaken by this really cool artist, St. Vincent (even though it was). I'm also not going to try to be deep and blog about how lead singer and guitarist Annie Clark's fresh attitude and music are inspiring me (even though she totally is). I refuse to be like this is completely filling a void on my ipod that I didn't even know was there (even though it has.)
I'm just really sick of people being like "listen to this it's really sweet" (even if it is). Or "check them out, you'd love them" (even if I would). It's like okay, you're cool. You know all the "trendy" and "indie" music and you can't shut the hell up about it by keeping it to yourself for your own personal enjoyment. It's so obnoxious. Like just let me discover my own freaking music, ya know?
Don't you just hate those people?
If you don't (even though I do), then... LISTEN HERE and HERE and HERE.
