I'm excited for the new season of The Bachelorette with Katie Thurston. She wouldn't be my first choice, but she's outspoken and has a strong personality, so it should be an interesting season at least. See my new doodle and some resources!
I was inspired by her latest promo pics (see below) and was going to draw her with a rose, but chose a different accessory instead ... Something she could still hold onto after Matt James sent her home.

As I wait for it to start, I'm getting ready:
Look at the cast here.
And if you want a hilarious take, I enjoy reading Jared Fried's recap on Betches.
And, New York Mag always has a take that make me laugh out loud.
I've never done this, but today's the day to fill out a bracket if you want to get competitive.
I'm watching for the drama, distraction, hilarious tweets, and a good excuse to drink rose.
