Labor Day Deals and Steals

Happy Labor Day - or, Happy Unofficial End of Summer.  To some this signals the start of a new school year and the end of lazy days on the beach; to others, like us, it means it's time to hit the racks and score some fantastic deals on items for the Fall! There are some fabulous things we've been eyeing up and, thanks to the wonderfulness that is the Labor Day Sale, they are finally available at bargain prices!  Here are a few items and stores that are having great sales today and some even for the rest of this week. If you find yourself with some free time we suggest you check it out!





The end of summer doesn't necessarily mean the end of skirts and warm weather. From $44 to just $17.60, this is one bargain you'd be crazy to pass up. Check this out, and others, at the Kohl's Labor Day Sale!




Fall is all about layering!  Take advantage of these sales to find yourself a good, quality cardigan that you can layer over all your favorite tanks.  We love this feminine sweater from JCrew, especially since it's on sale for almost half price!




50% off Fall coats?  Yes, please! Lord and Taylor is offering coats, like this chic hooded toggle coat by GUESS, for half price this Labor Day so you can stay warm and cozy this Fall without breaking the bank!




Shoes are not spared from these sales either, and what better way to keep your feet cozy than with a pair of comfy moccasins. Though we prefer neutral brown or tan, navy works just fine; and at more than $25 off the original price these are quite the steal!




Or, if you're in the market for a simple boot to pair with some of your Fall attire, check out this one by Steve Madden.  This boot, available at Nordstrom, would look great with a layered fall look and it's currently $33% off it's original price!




Did you know Mango now has a line of more affordable clothing available at JCPenny?  Well, today is your lucky day!  This MNG by Mango dress is now on sale and perfect for any upcoming special events this September. 




Now is also a perfect time to search for some professional suits at seriously low prices. Macy's has a lot of great deals on some suits and suit separates (this one is over 50% off!) that would make updating your work wardrobe a snap! 




And, finally, finding a great bag is a wonderful thing...but finding it at half price makes it even better!  We love this cute crossbody bag from Modcloth; it's big bow is simply adorable, the studded details add some edge, and the price point is certainly clutch.


Sayonara, summer!

Bobby has three new co-workers on SNL

In the rounds that Lorne and Kristen Wiig have been making (and probably others), SNL did select three new performers to replace Will Forte. More of my opinions after the news story...



Three comedians — Paul Brittain, Vanessa Bayer, and Taran Killam — are rumored to join the cast of Saturday Night Live for its 36th season.

According to The Comic’s Comic, Brittain is a Chicago-based improviser and sketch comedian, Bayer is a Cleveland native who also performs throughout Chicago, and Killam has been on-air with MADtv and Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out.

FYI: Yesterday, it was announced that Will Forte decided to call it quits after eight seasons on SNL.

Here are video clips of Bayer and Killam…


Vanessa Bayer: Blue Shield of California Commercial





Taran Killam: Scrubs Interns - Webisode 5

===============================

So Killam is more of a progressive step, since he's already been doing his comedy on TV for awhile (similar to how Amy Poehler and Kenan Thompson both were doing comedy on other shows before SNL). (I'm actually surprised Killam would take this gig, because he would probably be offered his own sitcom otherwise.) And Bayer and Brittain are more of the "finds." So we'll continue to check these three out and let you know what we think.

Brittain and Bayer were both confirmed through their improv organization, the Improv Olympics. Taran has not yet been confirmed through a direct source (SNL, The Groundlings, or Killam).
Enjoy!

Law and Order more than just entertainment for Grant

CNN.com has been featuring some pretty good articles lately. I actually like going to that site better some times because foxnews.com usually has some pretty sketchy celebrity pictures near the bottom of the page.

Anyhow, I came across this one the other day, discussing Christian singer Natalie Grant's involvement in ministering to sex trade victims. The most fascinating part of the article was HOW she got involved with it in the first place: by watching Law and Order. I love that show and regularly watch all 3 of them.

And its also nice to see, that for its sometimes suspect ideologies on religion, homosexuality, and the like (though there is always a fair pro-life vs pro-choice tension among its characters), something quite good has come out of it. All it took was one episode featuring the reality of this oft overlooked, or at least under-realized, present day malfeasance.

Bobby Moynihan only had 2 seasons with Will Forte



MacGruber has survived his last explosion.

Will Forte is keeping up the "Saturday Night Live" tradition of late-August departures by not coming back to the series for Season 36.

The New York Times reports that multiple sources say Forte won't be coming back and that the parting was amicable -- though at Forte's request. He wants to devote more time to other projects.

Hopefully those other projects will bring him more success than "MacGruber," the hilarious but certifiable bomb adaptation of one of his many "SNL" characters.

And there've been so many... the Falconer, Clancy T Bachleratt, absent-minded ESPN Classic commentator Greg Stink and, most recently, the monotone lothario Hamilton, whose inappropriate speeches at weddings, funerals and Q&As made for some of last season's funnier sketches.

UPDATE: NBC referred Zap2it to Forte's personal publicist who confirmed the news, saying, "After eight great seasons, Will has made the decision to move on from SNL to pursue new opportunities. He is eternally grateful to Lorne and all of the incredible people he worked with over the years."

So what do you think -- a good or bad move for Forte? And, most importantly, how much will you miss him?

==============

Okay, so I'm actually more surprised that this came at Will's request. Lorne will need to clean house soon (the average stay is approaching 8 years instead of 4-6), but he does need to line up new performers.

So Lorne is probably happy about this, because he has one less tough decision about who to ask to leave.

My personal opinion is that Will won't be terribly missed. He is a great straight man, MacGuber is amazingly and consistently funny on SNL, and his songs are hilarious (and I love his dancing coach), but his humor is usually too weird. He's bombed in two movies now that he's starred in.

So is this a good move for Will? Hard to say. He was great and valuable on SNL, but it's better to leave voluntarily for your career than to get kicked off. He picked a great time to go. So really it's just a question of what he has in mind and if it will succeed. If it's another movie... probably not.


Enjoy!
