Today I wondered "whatever happened to the Joshes from JOSH AND JOSH ARE RICH AND FAMOUS?" only to find that their blog has vanished and Google has no idea what I'm talking about. An era of Gay Internet has evaporated into mist (and while I'm at it RIP Towleroad)

I say all of this knowing that Amy Sherman-Palladino is a creative force that has made and done things that I cannot and have never
I just have opinions I don't expect her to care about them
Like I'm just a dude with a knit bear as a profile pic I don't think my criticism will hurt her feelings

ep 2: okay Etoile is the Game of Thrones of ballet shows (in that it has eight billion characters all of whom barely intersect and many of them are assholes and also it has BUDGET)
Genevieve is a little more fun as the put-upon underdog

The good news is that the character Cheyenne Toussaint is a fucking force of nature and every character in the show comes to life when they're in a scene with her

The bad news is that every character is a New York Art Asshole with few if no redeeming or enjoyable features beyond their dedication to The Art
A character doesn't need to be a 'good person' but they should be fun to watch or at least gossip about
(as of ep 1 Cheyenne Toussaint comes close)

Good Bear pattern by Susan B. Anderson
All the while I was making this adorable bear I kept saying to myself, “What a good bear.” It had to become the name of the pattern, Good Bear. I hope you think it is a good bear, too.
