Get Thee To An Infirmary

Hey guys!


Sorry for the lack of blog posts, I have been sick :( It is pretty serious when your boss sends you home in fears of infecting her and your coworkers. The weather in NYC has been hot one day and cold the next! 


So I am resting so I can be in full blogger/pr mode by the end of the week. Me being sick reminds me of one of my favorite episodes from the Cosby Show, it was when Rudy got sick:

I have to get better for so many reasons:


1) I need to put my NYC Comic Con post pronto
2) Halloween! Duh!
3) Have to catch up with my dearest friends
4) Get back to my secret project (don't worry you guys will know soon! It's going to be fabulous) 
5) Once Upon A Time premieres on Sunday
6) Finish the rest of my fall 2011 shopping


Be back soon!

A Disturbing Pattern

Had a lazy Sunday, I was flipping through the channels and saw a clip from the season finale of Basketball Wives. Eric Williams one of the ex husbands on the show actually throws a drink at his soon to be ex Jennifer Williams.  I actually gasped after I saw it, but I do realize that I do watch these shows as much as the next person:

Seeing the clip made me think about an observation my sister made the other day when we were talking about TV shows. It seems like the media is trying to make it the norm for women to be assaulted on television. More than ever, women on TV are being portrayed in a negative light.

Basketball Wives, Real Housewives of NJ, Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, Jerseylicous have one thing in common there is always a clip where a woman is being assaulted.  Here are two recent clips:

The pattern is also continuing this fall. I also came across the new trailer for Maria Bello's new show Prime Suspect, the clip shows her at dinner with a black eye speaking about her day at work:

I think the media should create a balance and show more positive female influences on TV. But then again will people watch? Not 100% sure about that unfortunately.

Has anyone else noticed the pattern? What are your thoughts?
