Lifestyle Duana Names: An Update Roundup March 2015 I LOVE updates. Also, I know we’re supposed to be anti retweeting compliments, and I AM – but I don’t think this counts. You may consider me gloating. The Teacher’s Curse Update I emailed Duana and you published my letter re: The Teacher’s Curse. My husband and By Duana • Mar 06, 2015 11:55 am
Scandal My son’s name is Brandon Scandal Season 4 Episode 14 recap I would venture that this is the only show currently on TV that could have done a story like this (with the possible exception of Orange Is The New Black, and that would be a stretch). And so it’s not much of a By Duana • Mar 06, 2015 10:33 am

Name Nerd Carrie Underwood’s Son, Isaiah Michael. Don’t you get the impression that Isaiah Michael Fisher is going to be called “Isaiah Michael Fisher” all the time? Like all three names, as an official label, like ‘William of Windsor’? Carrie Underwood has named her baby Isaiah Michael, and I cannot actually find a problem with it.

Lifestyle Duana Names: Names Are The Reason Hi Duana! I'm one of those girls who never wanted to have kids, but have been coming around to the idea, much to my husband's happiness (but no worries, he never pressured me into being a mom). And the main reason I'm coming around By Duana • Mar 02, 2015 03:13 pm
TV Updates Cecily Strong Is. Here are pictures of Cecily Strong in Capitol File magazine, in advance of her hosting the White House Correspondent’s dinner next month. She looks great and talks about how she’s most looking forward to meeting the Obamas, which sounds normal and exciting and good for her. But it By Duana • Mar 02, 2015 10:50 am
Girls Of Course Names Matter Girls Season 4 Episode 7 recap Obviously they matter. Of course people need to know what other’s names are, of course you want to know their reactions to them. Hannah dates a guy named Fran. But I digress. Fran is completely endearing, isn’t he? I have absolutely no By Duana • Mar 02, 2015 09:29 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Is This Name A Curse? Hi Duana, I would love some feedback from you regarding naming our second daughter due early this Spring. I feel like I have spent several months looking every baby name book and list out there and am coming up empty handed. Here is the background on my hold up. We By Duana • Feb 27, 2015 02:12 pm
How To Get Away With Murder We’re Not Monsters Hot To Get Away With Murder Season 1 Episodes 14&15 season finale recap Well. Aren’t they? One of the weirdest things about this crazy show is that we’ve known from the minute we met the Keating Five that they’re in this. They took on this By Duana • Feb 27, 2015 11:04 am

Girls Those Who Can’t Do, Teach Girls Season 4 Episode 6 recap I thought that maybe last week was an anomaly, but now I know the truth – I want every episode of Girls to be about Adam and Mimi-Rose. I don’t know if this was the intent. I have no idea if Dunham & Co By Duana • Feb 25, 2015 11:53 am
Style Emma Stone: Best Dressed (Duana) You know, you never want to be boring. Predictable. Safe. And so it becomes a bit of a lame proposition to choose Emma Stone for Best Dressed, because of course she’s going to be Best Dressed. Even her misses are so much more interesting than everyone else’s wins. By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 04:03 pm
Oscars 2015 Jennifer Aniston: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana) What are you doing? What are you thinking? Jennifer Aniston has a hot body. Let’s just accept that it’s true and always going to be true. We’re going to write think-pieces when she turns 50 (in 4 years!) and 54 and 58 talking about how beautiful she By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 03:20 pm
Oscars 2015 Common & John Legend: Oscar's Best Dudes (Duana) Or, as they were inexplicably referred to during the call-up, Lonnie Lynn and John Stephens. Maybe your real name has to be on your Oscar? I mean, what do you say? They had already won the night, and the award, with the performance of Glory which gets more intense and By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 01:21 pm
Oscars 2015 Michael Keaton, Sean Penn, and Alejandro González Iñárritu: Oscar boys being boys Everything about the Best Picture win for Birdman was a little odd. I’m not one of those people who hated the film – in fact I thought it was great. But the whole weird round-robin guyfest on the acceptance stage gave me a bit of a stomach ache.

Oscars 2015 Julianne Moore: Oscars Most Beloved Winner A couple of friends individually told me this weekend that they thought the Oscars were lacking a certain excitement this year (they also told me collectively that it was too warm for the outfit I was wearing so what do they know). I wondered whether it was because there wasn’ By Duana • Feb 23, 2015 11:17 am
