What Would Emma Pilsbury Wear
We're all familiar with the term stalking and its online equivalent cyber stalking but this website offers a less sinister form of celebrity obsession – style stalking. Here, the object of affection is also fictional: the germ-phobic, cardigan-wearing, sunshine virgin of Glee that is Emma Pillsbury. Pillsbury is one of the real stars of the US high-school singathon. Here it's her clothes that take centre stage with the four female bloggers sourcing her outfits both on and off screen. Most of the outfits are only available in the US and, with Channel 4 holding back screening of the second series, you run the risk of spoilers, but that's nothing a bit of time travelling down the archive won't fix.
Ex Rent Hell
As anyone who has visited a car boot sale or charity shop in recent times will tell you, absolutely any movie can be purchased on video these days for pennies. Genuinely. As long as you're not bothered about watching pre-2005 films. This blog does not so much celebrate today's golden period for late adopters but hark back to the period when VHS was king and you had to root around in the ex-rental bins for a bargain. Unearthing 80s films never likely to be available on Blu-ray such as Caveman, Soul Man and Finders Keepers, we get trailers, clips, links and hilarious commentary: fantasy horror Krull for example is described as "enjoyable as a naked donkey ride to hell". There are also regular features on VHS heroes, missing genres and caption contests.
