If you\u2019ve been following my blog, you\u2019ll have noticed that I really enjoyed this British import<\/a> that found her way to MTV last year.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, MTV didn\u2019t know what the hell to do<\/a> with Alexa Chung. (She recently, came clean with her take on what went wrong<\/a> with her MTV show.) She\u2019s smart, funny and today is still working on conquering the US – one way or another. <\/p>\n

show must go on<\/strong>
\nThough, this is a step back in a US overthrow, Alexa has a new program, Frock Me<\/a><\/em> on UK Channel 4. Can\u2019t watch it here in America, but little bits<\/a> have been showing up on YouTube (such as the two posted above). The format seems better suited to Alexa, whose sarcasm is subtle, sneaky (and goofy).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She\u2019s still in NYC (refused to move back to London for the program) and has a fashion line coming out from Madewell<\/a> this fall. Video below:<\/p>\n

Also making the rounds is Ctrl.Alt.Shift’s limited edition journal to aid youth charity. Cover illustrations by Alexa (below). Details here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Smart Brits can confound in the US. <\/p>\n

It even looked like Jamie Oliver’s extremely necessary Food Revolution<\/a><\/em> was falling under the weight of American bureaucracy by season’s end.<\/a><\/p>\n

But here’s an update<\/a> from the man, just posted today. <\/p>\n

I’m really hoping this whole Proud-to-Be-Dumb trend<\/em><\/a> is on its last leg. <\/p>\n

Really, really<\/em> hoping.<\/p>\n
