Episode TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN - February 5, 2012
Look, we'll be honest: This episode, we bounced wildly from topic to topic, including, but not exclusive to: "boners," State Senator Asshat, State Sen. Asshat's expulsion from a tasty & tasteful Knoxville eatery (that we just talked about on the podcast!), JC Penney & Ellen, Bates stamping, pictures of hoohoos, Las Vegas Groupon vs. Knoxville Groupon, cool listeners, dresses that look like mucus, and, of course, Project Runway All Stars Season 2 Episode 5 and the Stupor Bowl. Call us! 206-309-7232!
Episode TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN - January 29, 2012
And they call it...puppy love for a sweet new dachshund-lab mix, ahem, yeah, we got the short dog mix part wrong. But! We talked about other stuff that we didn't get wrong, like the gayest cities in America, Jaleo at the Cosmopolitan, the Main Street Station Casino buffet, Project Runway All Stars (whew! better ep this week!), stupid state legislators & their phone numbers (615-741-1766), and finally, the best thing about working in downtown Knoxville this week has something to do with a savory sweet snack.

Episode TWO HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN - January 22, 2012
Lots of listener love, Hip To Be A Square podcast, Wandering Abroad blog, Death Proof on DVD, Project Runway All Stars' inexplicably (and inexcusably) bad third episode, Amy's Uggs, stylish weddings, and more! Call us at 206-309-7232!
Episode TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN - January 13, 2012
We're on with late birthday greetings, discussions of diet foods, and some really inaccurate history! (Gee, thanks, Bay, for checking deets after recording!) Anyway, why aren't we talking salads? I dunno! OceanSpray gives Crystal Light a run for its money, Depression-era reproduction fabrics trip our zizz wheel, and you know we dished about Project Runway All Stars.

Episode TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE - January 8, 2012
Amy and Bay go a little long about a lot of things, including Googling, Waffle House, Christmas (which arrived on time whether we were ready for it or not), Christmas gifts that broke, "Project Runway All Stars," Netflix, "The IT Crowd," "Arrested Development," typing during podcasting, and Coolato Gelato. Yeah! It's a fully-packed podcast! Call us to tell us what you're most enjoying about PRAS! 206-309-7232!

Episode TWO HUNDRED AND ELEVEN - December 31, 2011
Hello. We recorded this before Christmas. We didn't publish it before Christmas. And here is our pre-Christmas episode, just in time for New Year's! We didn't take good notes and we don't know what links to include, so be prepared. There could be anything in here. Hope you enjoy it!

Episode TWO HUNDRED AND TEN - December 18, 2011
We're together for one weekend of Thanksmas joy and revelry! You might recognize the revelry when Bay forgets what the heck she was talking about. Anyway! Things we discussed, but not necessarily everything we discussed included: JFG coffee sign light bulbs, Knox Heritage, Magpie's bakery, Gatlinburg's Cherokee Grill, insane light shows outside of Knoxville, Sapphire (we've talked about it before, but it deserves another mention), and the Market Square Holiday Market, which is now over. Sorry, non-Knoxville visitors!

The latest in the Grits to Glitz world -- with lots of links! Bay loves downtown Knoxville; Amy still loves Las Vegas. There are some parrot noises in the background and a drooly cat who almost turned over a lamp, and other than that, we just had to say hi to bunches of listeners, goodbye to a favorite old podcast, and ay, caramba! to giant parking lots. Call us! 206-309-7232! Seriously!
Episode ONE HUNDRED NINETY-SIX - December 5, 2010
We're back! We're stuffed with Thanksgiving goodies and hanging out at Amy's little cabin in the mountains while we drink wine and drunkenly paint our fingernails. It's just a little catch-up for the first time in a few months, with talk of how we are (fine), what we're doing now (pretty much the same as always), and our latest fashion obsession (manicures). Send us an email at Amy@gritstoglitz.com, or Bay@gritstoglitz.com, or drop us a voice mail at 206-309-7232!

Episode ONE HUNDRED NINETY-FIVE - March 28, 2010
Have you seen anything good on TV lately? We have! We have seen many good things on TV lately, and we're seeing some things that haven't been on yet -- but will be! Bay's keeping up with Project Runway S7, and we agree that it is a very, very good, low-key season. Amy's got the scoop on RuPaul's Drag Race S2, too! After a few bunny trails (dogs that shed, pounds that don't), we also get to hear about Amy's trip to fabulous downtown Burbank, California, where she .... well, we don't want to spoil the report. It was fun! Oh, also, Amy needs to break her leg. We're just sayin'. Is all. Thanks for listening!

Episode ONE HUNDRED NINETY-FOUR - February 28, 2010
We're back, and Bay can finally breathe well enough to podcast. And oh! We have so many things to dish about over our fabulous cruise! Food, wine, dining, drinking, laughing, tripping, and passing out! Turtles, dolphins, and the crashing waves! All of this, and "macawitus interruptus," too! You'll have to listen to the show to make sense of it all. Thanks for being such wonderful listeners! We would like to hear from you -- 206-309-7232!
  • We hope Shane of Emergency Pants likes this picture. We thought of him when we saw these signs.
  • You, too, can swim with the dolphins at Dolphinaris in Cozumel!
  • We can't promise bird porn in public, but you might like Flamingo Gardens, anyway, if you like wildlife sanctuaries and low-key touring.
  • We definitely give Butterfly World four enthusiastic thumbs up!
Episode ONE HUNDRED NINETY-THREE - January 31, 2010
Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the iPod again... wait, no, that's a different movie. We're back! Just for a quick little podcast before we jump on a ship and hightail it out of the country! Is it too early to put our passports in our purses? For this show, we're running the gamut -- Amy liked a movie, Bay likes her dog and cat, and we both like a couple of websites like Don't Pee on My House and RunPee.com. And darn it, Project Runway Season 7 has us on different sides of the fence! Not that we have time to spend just analyzing it to death or anything. I mean, we gotta pack!
  • It's rude to pee in anyone's yard, so if you're at Mardi Gras, make sure you watch for flying water at Don't Pee On My House!
  • Going to see a 3 hour movie? Then you definitely need RunPee.com to help you time your restroom breaks!
  • If you've ever wondered just how ugly a baby bird can be, check out the baby hummingbird on this webcam. Simultaneously adorable and hideous!
