Sanditon, Season 2, Episode 5
Kisses! So many kisses! Let’s start with Georgiana and Charles Lockhart’s. I love that Georgiana let her hair down–physically and metaphorically. She wanted Lockhart to paint her how she wishes to be seen, and she clearly wishes for him and everyone to see her unconfined. With her hair down, she can be seen with “the…

Sanditon, Season 2, Episode 4
Everyone loves a good phallic showdown, right? Men who hate each other and will show their competitive nature with a pointy object is right up Sanditon‘s alley, eh? It’s fun to watch men show off their skills at a garden party, huh? 🙂 What about giving a woman a chance to make her mark? That’s…

Sanditon, Season 2, Ep. 3
Things really take off in this episode. Get it? Take off! (I know, I’m awful!) We’ve got a hot air balloon ride that is almost a disaster. There was supposed to be an elephant, but when that attraction fell through we ended up with a military hot air balloon ride. Um, what? I haven’t found…

I Finished Bridgerton, Season 2
When Bridgerton season 1 aired, I blogged. When Bridgerton season 2 aired, I was traveling to a conference, attending a conference, traveling home, and then getting caught up on work (I mean, I have a job, y’all). I watched the entire season while doing this and could not muster up the time or energy to…

Sanditon, Season 2, Ep. 1
It’s been a couple of years since Masterpiece’s Sanditon first aired on PBS, and a couple of years since I blogged about it episode by episode. I’m excited to be blogging again about this Jane Austen adaptation. So, let’s get two things out of the way. 1) There are going to be SPOILERS in these…

Long time no blog
I haven’t blogged in a while, and I miss it. Maybe you have too? Maybe you wonder what’s up with What Professors Wear? Well, let me tell you. Here’s my first day of school outfit: I wore a white and black striped cotton blazer (from The Gap) with a black and white striped cotton shirt…

Blogging Hiatus
When I first started blogging it was all about professorial fashion–well, my professorial fashion mostly. I called my blog “What Professors Wear”–a riff on “What Not to Wear” (TLC show). I wanted to show people that you can wear stylish, fun, comfortable clothing and shoes to work. No stuffy suits. No lame khakis. But the…

An infographic provides readers with a succinct visual representation of gathered information. The goal is to provide take-away points…
