"It's raining dead birds!"

I recently got a job at my local Loeb as a deli girl, and I'm guessing they either really like me, or I have the most promise, because they keep giving me lots of shifts. More shifts then the other two new employees. 

The uniform is hella large on me, but I'm tiny so I don't think I can do anything about that. I also haven't been paid yet, which is annoying the shit out of me. I want to buy pretty things...er I mean save money. I should be getting a big, fat pay cheque on Thursday though. And if I don't, there will be hell to pay.

Anyway, that's my lame excuse for not posting in awhile. On to other things. If more people then Lauren, Gillian and Alie actually read this, I'd like to know if you watch Pushing Daisies?

If you, tragically, have not it's about this guy:

Ned (played by Lee Pace) can bring people back from the dead with his touch. But if he keeps them alive for longer than a minute, someone else has to die. 

He uses his powers in conjunction with a Private Detective, Emerson Cod, to find out how murder victims were killed, and then collect the reward. 

Unfortunately, his childhood sweetheart is killed onboard a cruise ship, and he decides to keep her alive, but they can't touch or else she will be dead again, forever. 

Lonely Tourist Charlotte Charles, a.k.a. Chuck (Anna Friel)

Pushing Daisies is very whimsical, the murder victims can be burned to a crisp, or run over, and they'd still have perfect teeth and eyes. The sets are painted in bright colours, with odd set decorations like cherry light fixtures. Ned is a pie maker with his very own pie shop with a "quaint", pie crust roof on the outside.

The time period is hard to gauge. They drive classic cars and the girls wear vintage looking clothes, but they have modern TVs and reference the internet (even if you rarely see a computer).

However my main topic of interest is the clothes of course. 

I'm really into classic clothes. I think movies have brainwashed me into thin

king that the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, had great clothes (or perhaps they did, I wouldn't really know) because I can't help but gush at vintage silhouettes from those eras. 

And Pushing Daisies is really into that classic time period. 

Since Chuck is supposed to be dead, she has to wear some cool disguises, like big sunglasses, and hats when she visits the morgue and whatnot. There was also this really pretty yellow coat that I couldn't find a picture of. *sigh* Also the blonde girl in the fifth picture is Olive Snook (Kristen Chenoweth), a worker at the Pie Hole, who is in love with Ned. 

Unfortunately only 9 episodes were made before the Writer's Strike, and we're not going to get any new episodes until fall. *double sigh*

Here's one last parting shot, of the kids who play Young Ned, and Young Chuck.
