Of course this show, along with all other Treks is on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3bBhDz9\" target=\"_blank\">CBS All Access<\/a>, so I had to subscribe. Ugh! Anyhoo&#8230; what can I say about Picard? It didn&#8217;t disappoint in the least. I love all the guest stars from other treks and from TNG and the story was truly quite interesting all around!!<br>Five Stars!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"415\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/making-the-cut-is-the-new-fashion-competition-sho-2-1271-1586290025-1_dblbig.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is dannemora_slide-a4bb7df8db51dadb997d341707c3de99b670ce3b-s800-c85.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-4049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/making-the-cut-is-the-new-fashion-competition-sho-2-1271-1586290025-1_dblbig.jpg 625w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/making-the-cut-is-the-new-fashion-competition-sho-2-1271-1586290025-1_dblbig-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/making-the-cut-is-the-new-fashion-competition-sho-2-1271-1586290025-1_dblbig-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/making-the-cut-is-the-new-fashion-competition-sho-2-1271-1586290025-1_dblbig-425x282.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption>Making the Cut<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I just finished watching &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cAvU0j\" target=\"_blank\">Making the Cut<\/a>&#8221; on Amazon last night and was happy with who won, but the show&#8230; I don&#8217;t know. There are some things that I LOVED and others&#8230; not so much. It&#8217;s not that I didn&#8217;t enjoy it, but it seemed to me there were a lot of things that felt awkward. <br>The Pluses: Heidi and Tim! I love them. Traveling to Paris and Tokyo. The designers having seamstresses. The collections available on Amazon!! All amazing.<br>The Negatives: The designs coming down the runaway. Maybe there was too much black, too much bland, too much I would never wear in a million years&#8230; the clothes were just blah. Another blah were some of the judges&#8230; I won&#8217;t name names, but the only one I really liked was Nicole Richie (and Heidi, of course). which is unusual because that&#8217;s not usually one of my gripes. <br>Still worth watching for fans of Project Runway!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Marvelous-Mrs-Maisel-Season-4-Renewed-Amazon-Prime.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-4050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image.jpg 620w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-150x80.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-600x319.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.silviaskingdom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-425x226.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption>Dublin Murders<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the kind of show I would normally watch, but <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/365hOkN\" target=\"_blank\">Dublin Murders<\/a> on Starz came with such stellar reviews I figured I&#8217;d watch the first episode and see&#8230; what gripped me was the mystery of it all. Maybe too many mysteries? Mysteries within mysteries? All in all a good show, but the finale disappointed me because not all mysteries were solved, LOL. <br>Season 2, where are you?<br>Thumbs up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I am Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1982122242\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1982122242&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=ebmommas01&#038;linkId=6e61117b3993095e9fbfd06a1f33630a\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ASIN=1982122242&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;ID=AsinImage&#038;WS=1&#038;Format=_SL250_&#038;tag=ebmommas01\" ><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=ebmommas01&#038;l=am2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1982122242\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>I am always reading a biography, and when this one of Olivia Newton John came out late last year I knew I was going to HAVE to read it!<br>&#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2T7hnBk\" target=\"_blank\">Don&#8217;t Stop Believin&#8217;<\/a>&#8221; is really a great read.<br>I am 3\/4 of the way through at this point and it&#8217;s really enjoyable.
