Compulsively watching Christine McConnell
Jan. 20th, 2019 06:47 pmSometimes a gal just needs to watch a crafty femme make caramel spiders and chocolate tea sets, and bag a wholesome hot axe murderer. For the umpteenth time. Don't judge me, I'm already judging myself. Some thoughts:
- I adore that moment in a Henson production when the actors realize the puppets are emotionally real. They never go back, once that penny drops, and I find that fascinating.
- Edgar gives me a very strong Jamie Hyneman vibe.
- God I love Rose and her unapologetic libido and her fork hand.
- And the crocheted refuse in her dumpster canopy bed.
- I like that when Christine cooks an overly elaborate meal for a first date, it's not her aiming to please, it's her being a gracious host and also leading with her weirdness.
- Let me show you my ridiculous spread on mismatched mid-century glassware, where a coordinated palette of macarons and a lattice top pie are filler pieces, and you can decide if you can handle this intensity. Do try the cake.
- I have no sweet tooth, I can't explain why this is my happy place.
- Maybe it's the utter conviction with which she executes these fiddly pieces of edible art, like, it illustrates the value of the creation process itself.
