If you’re in the market for a power outfit and happen to be addicted to Scandal, you’re about to have a great fucking week. Starting next Tuesday, September 23, The Limited is releasing a Scandal inspired collection of over 70 items available in stores and online. By Scandal inspired they obvi mean Olivia Pope inspired, because why the fuck would anyone ever dress like Mellie or Quinn? All of this comes just two days before the Season 4 premiere on September 25, giving you 48 hours to purchase your very own Olivia outfit, in addition to copious amounts of wine, prior to the event.
The collection was created by a collaboration of Kerry Washington, who plays former Betch of the Week Olivia Pope, Lyn Paolo, Scandal’s costume designer and Elliot Staples, head of design at The Limited. It’s the first time a TV show, actress and retailer have all teamed up, which is pretty cool I guess. Fingers crossed we don’t see Once Upon a Time and Forever 21 try to pull some shit.
From the Scandal line, you can expect many of Olivia’s fashion staples from the show, all of which are amazing. In case you haven’t brushed up since last season, these include chic blouses, wide-leg pants, pencil skirts and fierce outerwear. Sexy president to rip them off of you: unfortunately not included.
In a June press release, Washington said the line was created for “real-life gladiators” and ”women everywhere who are inspired to boldly pursue their passions and look good while doing it.” Personally I’d rather not refer to myself as a gladiator because it reminds me of Russell Crowe or people that are generally intense AF, like moms that go jogging with strollers. But I’m all for being inspired and looking good. Maybe if I wear some new OP gear I won’t need a Xanax in order to get through my daily routine? Here’s to hoping and happy shopping, betches.

Last night"s episode of PLL was a pretty big snoozefest as each of the characters went off on their own to investigate new boring side plots that no one gives a shit about. Like, the only thing I care about less than whether or not Toby"s mom killed herself is Aria"s brother"s new karate kid story line. In what proved to be the only interesting twist on this show, Mona confessed to murdering Wilden and Caleb dressed up as a Navajo woman by sporting some sort of man purse and traditional Indian garb style denim jacket.
Finally, we hit the joke making jackpot as ABC cast Rumer Willis to play Emily"s Habitat For Humanity group leader making Paige/aka Rumer"s dad Bruce look as beautiful as Miranda Kerr in comparison. Thanks to Rumer"s very obvious and intensive plastic surgery, she managed to look decent. But really, do you think Shay Mitchell is pissed off that all the writers of this show keep doing is pairing her up with fugly lesbians with intensive man jaws and shitty acting skills? I guess that"s what happens when you have the cinematic presence of Terri Schiavo.
Emily"s plotline continues to be boring as fuck. What happened to her perc addiction? I would"ve loved to see her in withdrawal, whoring herself out for oxy, or at least like, making a different facial expression.
Hey Emily, someone drove a car through your house. Maybe time to tell the truth.
Rumer Willis: “We had to pry the electric drill out of your hands.” I wish someone would stab me with an electric drill rather than have to endure this awful nepotistic hack job they call acting.
Emily"s mom breaks down in tears at the thought of her having to spend an entire summer in Nicaragua with Rumer Willis.
Again, Ashley Marin with the mascara and lip gloss in prison. You can"t just put someone"s hair in a pony tail and pretend they look like shitty.
Why is Mona dressed like a geisha? I don"t understand how Mona is suddenly like not a raging psychopath. Oh right, nevermind.
Hanna: I need help turning myself into a lying sociopath so I figured maybe you could help me out.
Hanna WOULD forgo SAT tutoring to get trained by Mona on how to confess to murdering a cop.
Hanna: The police took all the high heels out of the house and left us with nothing.
Mona: They left you with nothing but flats? That"s barbaric.
I bet Toby actually stole all the shoes and wears them with his black hoodie.
Mona and Caleb actually look like brother and sister.
This whole Mona coaching Hanna thing plays out like a scene from Chicago “and then they both reached for the gun the gun the gun”
Hanna sends out a group text saying she confessed to killing Wilden. Kind of makes your bestie groups chats to coordinate your sushi group dinner seem pretty dull huh?
Aria"s dress looks like she was raped by a comic book. Who would ever wear that to school?
Mike: I need to spend time with these guys. I need to impress them with my Unagi. Spicy Salmon roll.
What is with this lame fucking Insidious 2 movie placement?
“A really likes throwing cars at people.” THIS SHOW IS A JOKE
What the fuck is Spencer wearing? She looks like she"s wearing a slutty porno school girl outfit. Chill with the ties, there"s only room for one lesbian on this show.
How many men who peruse through Spencer"s kitchen is she inevitably gonna wind up fucking. There"s no way I didn"t catch that sexual tension between her and the 17 year old DA.
A is now using power tools? She must be one of Emily"s new girlfriends.

He is a real doctor, right?
I have to confess that I have never watched Doctor Who. I know there have been many Doctors and I think they are actually called Time Guys. Well, whatever they are called, I ranked them solely on how they look and what they are wearing because watching a million episodes would be daunting.
Via bbc.co.uk
He’s the newest one, right? Well then how can he be better than the rest yet? That coat is pretty great, though, so I’m sure eventually he’ll sneak up the list of great Time Guys.
BBC / Via leda74.tumblr.com
I have no idea what is going on here. From the looks of it he is using a DJ mixer, so maybe everyone is getting ready for him to drop the beat. This makes sense, since he is a Time Guy and was able to travel to and from the future.
BBC / Via shiksapolis.tumblr.com
Seriously, did he just leave a circus? And did she just leave a jazzercize class? Either way, they both seem comfortable and confident, so kudos to them. Also, what’s a Tardis?

Question mark sweater and what looks like a question mark handle on his umbrella? Mr. Subtle don’t care if everyone knows he is a Time Guy. I’m guessing he was a loud Time Guy, and when the other Time Guys got together they were like, “Ugh.”

Getting a little fresh, aren’t we, Handsy? Looking past that, the striped pants and cricket vest combo don’t really work for me. Also, the question mark on his collar is a bit much. Not the best Time Guy look, IMO.

I’m guessing his name is Nigel? He apparently gets along with aliens, which is cool. Also, I didn’t know this show had aliens. The more you knowwwwww!
BBC / Via doctorwhocompanions.com
Can Time Guys be cool dads? Because that is the way he is dressed. Like, a dad who used to be in a punk band but now runs an organic soap company.
BBC / Via taracynara.tumblr.com
Was Oscar Wilde a Time Guy? God, please tell me I’m right because I would watch the shit out of that. How come I feel like this version of Doctor Who was grittier? Must be the ascot.
BBC / Via doctor-who-screencaps.tumblr.com
This dude’s outfit is on trend. Maybe too on trend. Yet, he seems pretty youthful compared to the other Time Guys, which I feel would make him a more formidable Doctor.
Michael Stroud / Via Getty Images
Is he named Nigel, too? I don’t know what that thing he is standing next to is supposed to be. A R2-D2 predecessor? A British traffic light? Anyway, dude’s rocking that ruffled shirt like a boss, so I’m guessing he was a pretty good Time Guy.
BBC / Via uskglassandchildermass.tumblr.com
With that suit it’s more Lawyer Who, amirite? Oh, wait. He’s British. More like Barrister Who, amirite? BTW, is he holding a spoon of some sort?
BBC / Via would-you-like-a-jelly-baby.tumblr.com
Look at those locks! They look as if they have a great bounce to them. And that scarf? On point. Are those qualities that are needed in order to be a Time Guy? Because if they are then Mr. Good Hair is the greatest Time Guy ever.

But please don’t.

Have you ever dreamt of dressing like Jon Snow but couldn’t find the right garbage bag to cut holes in? Well, look no further because HBO has officially released the first images from their Game of Thrones costume collection.
“Perfect for fans, LARPers, and reenactors,” reads the press release, touting a trio of character-based designs for fan favorite characters Jon Snow, Ned Stark, and Robb Stark. (B.Y.O. Blood is implied.)
The outfits are perfect for:
HBO
“Jon Snow’s Peascod” lets any potential suitor know you’ve decided to swear off sex and live with a dozen men.
HBO
You may not be able to wear a tie with “Ned Stark’s Peascod,” but it tells any prospective boss that you mean business.
HBO
The swingy cut of these “Gambesons” (Jon Snow’s on the left, Ned Stark’s on the right) means all of your sweet, sweet dance moves will be accented by a twirl of blended cotton. Oh, but don’t forget, they’re dry clean only!
HBO
Nothing says “approachable” like this faux fur cape.
Like winter, many more designs are coming to the Game of Thrones collection (including women’s clothes), which costs anywhere between $70 and $295. In other words:

I know, you’re already super busy with Scandal and Revenge and all the other one-word, vice-y titled shows: “Stay tuned for a brand new Misdeed followed by Gluttony only on ABCNBC.”
I watch a lot of TV, and right now, only one program can sate my hunger for female-driven drama and fabulous haute couture.
DOWNTON. FUCKING. ABBEY.
FUCK YEAH.
Now one might ask me, “Social Assassin, you’re a heterosexual(y) male, shouldn’t you be gearing up to watch the Super Bowl or something?” To that person I say, “The only Super Bowl I care about is the tastefully appointed tureen of creamy watercress soup presented before Lady Mary!!” Then that person slowly backs away from me and ponders where my Dad went wrong…
Downton Abbey has everything you need in a drama: backstabbing, deceit, and giant, feathered hats. Plus, it’s on PBS, so it’s educational enough to justify your lie to others that you read books!
Here are a few fav features of the foppish fantasy that is Downton Abbey:
The original Betch. One woman with the sassiness of ten black secretaries. She may resemble a chicken, but her cattiness is unparalleled. The only physical labor she’s ever done is rolling her eyes. Your grandma lives in Boca, Downton’s grandma lives in the nightmares of the common folk. Whenever your First World Problems are getting you down, remember the wise words of Lady Violet:
Uh oh, Thomas spied on Edna talking with Branson about their love affair! There hasn’t been this much excitement since Thomas overheard Mr. Bates conversing with Anna about his dislike for Lord Grantham, which was nothing compared to the time Thomas discovered Daisy discussing her desire to become a proper cook with a stalk of celery!
Okay, so 85% of Downton’s conflicts arise from Thomas standing in a doorway and listening to things.
The other 15% stem from hastily drawn documents! My word! The point is, no matter how mundane the catalyst, we as the audience always seem to be drawn into the drama. I can watch 15 middle schoolers get eaten alive by zombies on The Walking Dead and not bat an eye. Lady Edith invites Sir Anthony Strallan to play croquet and my world is turned upside-fucking-down.
We all want a Downstairs; a dedicated staff of basement-dwelling servants who cater to our every whim and whose only source of entertainment is discussing the minutiae of our social lives ‘round the dining room table:
“I say, have you all heard that Lady Jenna is being courted by a one Lord Greenberg of Great Neck upon the Tinder? I shan’t assume she is DTF!”
“Heavens no, now ready the Lululemons, Lady Jenna has expressed a desire to go spinning on the morrow!”
My doorman Juan simply does not compare.
We don"t want to spoil too much, but Lady “the fugly sister” Edith had to wait until this season, when both her sisters underwent a shit ton of despair to say the LEAST, for people, especially her sisters, to finally stop making fun of her. Literally she is the ass of every joke and it"s just as funny to us as it is to Lady Mary. I mean, bitch got left at the alter by a gimp. Everytime she speaks everyone sort of looks at eachother and thinks to themselves, ugh why are you here again? And now she’s trying to marry this guy who is already married but I’m sure that will go down as smoothly as her nose.
He looks like the red Angry Bird. That is all.
Do you also have a penchant for evening gowns and a rigid caste system? Share your Downton love in the comments section!
