Hot or Not with EVT: Fall
Hello everyone, and welcome to another Hot or Not. This time, I’m writing it on my actual laptop (!!). Now I can include links! It’s over for you hoes.
Not hot: COVID
I have COVID right now. She’s really going around out there, folks. Let this be my warning to you.
Hot: Reba is on Hulu
I mean, need I say more? I love Reba so much, and this show is classic. She’s got jokes! Until recently, I had not seen this show in years, but I’ve been really enjoying it.
Oh god — please, no one tell me if Reba is problematic. It’ll be like the other day when I was like “what’s Macy Gray up to” and Googled it, only to find out she went on a transphobic rant but then days later was like “psych, you all just misunderstood” (???). Now how am I supposed to listen to the As Told By Ginger theme song? With a baffled and suspicious spirit? Reba can’t be problematic, or that would ruin my second favorite TV show theme song that I have to listen to on YouTube because it’s not on Spotify.
Okay, sorry, I really need to know if Reba is problematic now. Please hold.
Hot: Reba is seemingly not problematic
The “personal life” section of Reba’s Wikipedia is remarkably neutral (does not even mention a political affiliation?). It DOES mention that her son is married to Kelly Clarkson, which I think is fantastic. Also, her niece is named CALAMITY MCENTIRE and she coaches women’s basketball (giving….lesbian?). Also also?? I ventured further afield than the Wiki to get us real information, and apparently Reba loves drag queens and spoke out against the anti drag laws in Tennessee! Certified cool.
Hot: The name Calamity?
Any of y’all having a baby? Free name idea from me.
Hot: apples with chocolate ganache
I think this is the perfect fall snack. Find a recipe for ganache here, but like: melted chocolate and butter. And then you dip the apples in it. Incredibly delicious. I don’t know that I have anything else interesting to say about this, except that it would be a really fun party snack. You could also dip pretzels in it. Marshmallows, etc. Gummy candy, if you wanna get wild. The options are endless. Please send pics if you make it. I beg of you.
Not Hot: Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s mustache
I feel like I needed to throw a not hot in here because I am raving about too many things. Like, let’s get negative with it already! On that note, I am bravely admitting that I think Taylor Swift’s boyfriend’s mustache is not that cute. Please don’t murder me in my sleep about it. I think he used to have better facial hair before! IDK!
Hot: Minx (also on Hulu, but only if you’re a chump and you cancel your SHOTIME add-on because there’s no more L Word and you add STARZ instead).
Every once in a while, I start a TV show and just know it’s going to become a little bit of an obsession for me. Last time, it was Mrs. America. Now, it is yet another period piece about feminism in the 70s! I am predictable!
It’s fun! It’s sexy! Jake Johnson from New Girl is here and he’s hot and sleazy! They’re making a feminist porn magazine! The aesthetics! The fashion! The vibes!! The women’s liberation!!!! I won’t spoil anything, but I love it, and you can, too!
Also, our heroine Joyce makes me wanna get those bangs. I won’t…..or will I.
Hot: Lorelai Gilmore’s outfits
Three years ago, I rewatched Gilmore Girls with my girlfriend (it was her first viewing). Now, we are watching season one of Gilmore Girls again. In the three years that have passed, I have been so Y2Kpilled that I genuinely like at least 30 percent of Lorelai’s outfits. Obviously I don’t like them all, I’m not unhinged. But dare I say…she is eating this up?
And she’s always wearing that classic late 90s/Y2K powder blue eyeshadow, and a ton of perrywinkle…..I think I love it. You decide for yourself. I am accepting DMs about this.
Okay, I think that’s all for today. XOXO, evt
