Downton in Vogue Reboot

I just glanced at my old posts and saw the "downton in vogue" post...seems silly now that Downton is all over the news and the awards shows as it starts its second season. I would do a post on Downton in Town & Country, Downton in Vanity Fair, Downton in New York Magazine, etc. but I would spend the rest of my blog on Downton alone.

Nice to see that the great shows are being appreciated (along with HOMELAND...congrats to the show and Claire Danes on the Golden Globe wins!)

Downton in Vogue




http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8616323/Downton-Abbey-sisters-pose-for-Vogue.html




The girls of Downton Abbey pose for Vogue and the Telegraph has included a nice blurb about their lives pre-Downtown. The show returns to Great Britain this fall but I think the  American audience still has to wait until January to discover what the fates of the three sisters and of Downton will be!
