Are You Ready for Scandal's Third Season Finale?

Even after binge watching the first two seasons of ABC's mega-hit series, Scandal, we didn't join the Gladiator nation. Blasphemy! While we found some of the characters compelling--namely Olivia's devious Dad (given gravitas by master thespian Joe Morton), the conniving Cyrus, the fiery First Lady and that cute double-agent Jake (we've been fans of Scott Foley since his Felicity days)--we can't take much more of Olivia and Fitz's melodramatic, torrid love affair.


But we hate to be left out of a pop culture moment, and plan to catch the third season on demand. So we'll miss tonight's scandalous season finale, but millions of diehard fans will be hanging on every dramatic line that falls from Kerry Washington's ever-pouted, quivering lips. As you watch, in true Olivia Pope fashion, we're sure there will be no shortage of red, red wine.  That's one thing that fascinates us about Ms. Pope -- how can she down a bottle of vino every night and still look flawless in the morning?

Although we have mixed feelings about the show, we love the elegant, long stemmed wine glasses Olivia favors and tracked them down at Crate & Barrel.  They're called Camille Wine Glasses, and they retail for $14.95 each.

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Graces Brooklyn Academy of Music, June 4-9, 2024

Dance is expression. Dance is spiritual. Dance is activism. Dance is life. I feel most alive when I am listening to music and dancing.  As a spectator and fan, some of my fondest moments of watching dance performances have been witnessing the dignity and grace of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Every time I see the Ailey company, I am inspired, moved, and grounded in the beauty and complexity of the African American experience.  Photo by Paul Kolnik For me, the highlight is always "Revelations," Mr. Ailey's three-part ode to his upbringing in the Black Baptist church. The three sections -- "Pilgrim of Sorrow"; "Take Me to the Water"; and "Move, Members, Move" -- tell the story of African American faith and persistence from slavery to freedom. Over the weekend,  I had the pleasure of taking an outdoor Community Workshop in downtown Brooklyn, where we learned some of the choreography for "Revelations." I beamed from ear to ear...
