Hey CNN: Where is the New George Strombo and Larry King

Hey CNN:  Where is the New George Strombo and Larry King

Gosh right when you get to like something and look forward to it they change everything!

I was really looking forward to seeing Larry King on the new George Strombo show on CNN.  I love Larry, I've watched him FOREVER  and I was waiting to see him all week.

I like to hear what Larry has to say--he's always positive and he is one of the best television interviewers in the business.  He says he's always curious and I am too and that's why I like him.

Friday night is not full of TV choices, as it is, for this news and PBS type person.

And now it's gone.......

And replaced with what.....more Anderson Cooper?  

Now, I like Anderson, I like him very much, but seriously, enough is enough. 

Actually, last evening Anderson Cooper's interview with the ex-wife of the father of Trayvon Martin was stunning.  I will remember it forever.  It seems like the father used her, of course she raised his kids and, by the way, loved them and took care of them, until he found someone new and then excluded her from information as if she did not have feelings.  It was tearful and hurtful for me.....It felt like she was totally used and I went away with a dislike for men.  

Anderson is talented.....but it is not the Anderson Cooper network....or is it?

If CNN would listen to me about what shows to put on I'd be a little happier....

Well, since you asked:

Right now I'll be watching, Fred and the legal boys....now if they change that there's going to be a high price to pay on my blog.

I'm still waiting for Style With Elsa Klench....Fashion Backstage Pass with Alina and her cute hairdoo will suffice nicely...on a weekly basis.

I'n not a fan of Mr Bourdain but the show on Libya was really enlightening.  I know everyone else really loves him--less of himself in that group and it would be a more tolerable situation.

  

Wait...what is happening right now....Fred and the boys are on early....are my clocks wrong...is it the heatwave, the cats......I've got to go.......

CNN---YOU'VE GOT TO ANNOUNCE THESE THINGS IN ADVANCE.................

Sten Martin--My Latest Sewing Obsession

Wow--I just finished watching the latest You Tube video from bespoke tailor Sten Martin.  How can I say this--watching his vids get the principles of fitting into my mind.

I have been sewing off and on forever.  Currently I am taking a sewing class from the very talented and knowledgeable and beautiful Donna Namdar.  She is an expert in sewing and fit and a particular style for each individual......That persons color, fit, tradition, natural style.  I feel so lucky to be in her class and hear what she has to say.

We are currently making a bodice block for the principles of fitting and pattern construction.  I always try so hard to sew correctly and make a good product but then the thing does not fit.  I am really so delayed in some of the basic elements of sewing construction.

I told our class about the amazing videos of Sten Martin.  Really, this man is a genius--he can take a plain piece of fabric and make it into a jacket.  I feel so lucky to see his show.  It is not that I could ever hope to do what he does with his degree of expertise---but watching him--the ideas go into my mind--it lets the whole idea of fitting and pattern making and measurements go together.

I'm suggesting to CNN to put him on Fashion--Backstage Pass with Alina Cho.  These videos are so helpful.  I hope everyone can see them.

The school is new and beautiful with easy access to the school and parking, but the most important thing to me is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
