This is a great blog post by Cathy Horyn. She is so descriptive you don't even need the pictures! I think you did really well with finding the important pieces of language she uses. It is very detailed; I definitely get an idea of what the show was all about.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love Cathy Horyn! I love how brutally honest she is in her posts and how she really tells it like it is. Her jargon is so entertaining as well and really enhances her posts.
