Alright, so if you are unfamiliar with the Project DIVA series, it basically plays like any traditional arcade rhythm game. You get a bunch of songs you can choose from and the gameplay consists of you hitting buttons in time with the music as determined by the map and difficulty level. Lower difficulties will be slower and have less notes to hit, whereas higher difficulties will have way more to hit and a bunch of combination inputs and holds.
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation but is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan.
Kusama moved to New York City in 1958 and was a part of the New York avant-garde scene throughout the 1960s, especially in the pop-art movement. Embracing the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s, she came to public attention when she organized a series of happenings in which naked participants were painted with brightly colored polka dots.
Maria Felix, La Doña was one of the most important female figures of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. She was considered the most successful actress of the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most beautiful actresses of Mexican cinema, her taste for the finesse and strong personality garnered her the title of diva early in her career. She was known as La Doña, a name derived from her character in the film Doña Bárbara (1943), and María Bonita, thanks to the anthem composed exclusively for her, as a wedding gift by her second husband, the Mexican composer Agustín Lara.
How To Find One: Finding the female Samurai is pretty easy, all you have to do is feel for her armour which is soft and you can get a feel of it by pinching the front and back flaps. Her two katanas are also relatively easy to identify as the katanas have a much longer hilt/handle compared to the other swords in this series.
Drop Dead Diva is a legal comedy-drama fantasy television series that aired on Lifetime, premiering on July 12, 2009 and running for six seasons before concluding on June 22, 2014.note The show was actually cancelled after its fourth season due to it being too expensive for the network and producer Sony Pictures Television to maintain; however, it was revived a month and a half later after both parties reached a more cost-effective agreement.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia / Ret-Gone: In regards to Fred towards everyone but Jane after he romances Stacey.
- And while not brought up Luke as well.
- Love Dodecahedron: Not as much as other series but still a pretty large one considering Deb's past relationships and the original Jane's past relationships Jane has to consider both.
- Mistaken for Cheating: Jane is accused by a policeman's wife of having an affair with her husband. Considering it had to do with the original Jane, Jane worried it might be true. Much to her relief it was only for legal help and they were meeting in secret because he was framed by some dirty cops.
- Mistaken for Gay: Elaine, Jane's mother, tells Jane (about Stacy) that if "Roommates isn't the right word I'm very open-minded".
- Stacy in one episode when she is seen acting secretive and meeting up with another woman to have lunch, turns out she wants to have a baby through artificial semination and was asking for advice.
- Mood Whiplash: After a heart felt speech to save the home of an old lady who refused to move due to sentimental value, having lived there with her husband, had given Kim and Grayson cookies, etc., from developers, she profusely thanks Grayson and Kim for their help and hopes they'll help her again in six months time when her case goes on appeals. And then, making sure they promise to keep helping her and what have you, tells them something under lawyer-client confidentiality...reveals that in actuality, she doesn't want to move and have developers wreck her house because that would uncover the body of her dead husband. Whom she killed. It's not really clear if this is supposed to be funny, shocking or what, but it changes the mood considerably.
- Mr. Fanservice: Paul's relevance in seasons 5 and 6 pretty much revolve around him getting shirtless scenes (when he is not simply in his briefs).
- Also the shirtless dancers in Jane's dream sequences, such as the "Thunder from Down Under" in Season 2, Episode 8.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: "Empress Katia" in "Afterlife" is a pretty clear expy of Lady Gaga.
- Our Angels Are Different: Fred, Luke (in Season 4) and Paul (in Season 5 & 6).
- Phony Psychic: "Make Me A Match" features two psychic sisters fighting over their dad's shop. Grayson uses this to get the one sister to confess (while channeling their dead father) that she didn't want to keep fighting.
- It's worth noting that while the two act like phonies and the entire cast of characters sees them as such... to the viewers, it's obvious that a lot of what they're saying is true (knowing Grayson is mourning Deb, that Deb is near, etc).
- Put on a Bus: Parker after season 4, he ends up moving to Canada to patch things up with his ex-girlfriend so he can be a father for his son, leaving a pregnant and heartbroken Kim behind.
- Pstandard Psychic Pstance: Whenever Deb gets an unusual flash of knowledge from Jane's mind, she tends to act like she has a mild shock/headache.
- Really Gets Around: Parker, Parker, Parker. Pretty much the only women in the building he hadn't slept with were Jane and Teri.
- Refuge in Audacity: In "Fifty Shades of Grayson" Kim goes into labor during a trial. She somehow manages to convince the judge to allow her to continue the trial over video while she's in labor.
- Ripped from the Headlines: Several of the cases that Jane's law firm handles are based on real life cases. For instance, Mary Ann Nealy, in the season 1 episode "Second Chances" is partially based on Sara Jane Olson. However, in keeping with the fact that this is a Lifetime series, the defendant is more sympathetic and gets a happier ending.
- The season 6 episode "Desperate Housewife" has the case of a couple who took in a group of foster kids to appear on a reality series so they could get their house renovated, then kicked out the kids. A similar situation happened on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
- Runaway Bride: Vanessa does this to Grayson, realizing something is missing in their relationship.
- Samus Is a Girl: In one episode, Grayson uses the artwork of a well known graffiti artist to save a building from being torn down, at the end the artist turns out to be his female client.
- Secret-Keeper: The only ones that know Jane is Deb are Stacy and her guardian angels, Fred (Seasons 1-3), Luke (Season 4), and Paul (Seasons 5-6) and in the sixth and final season Grayson
- Shipping Torpedo: Luke was sent specifically to be this to Jane and Grayson.
- Secret Secret-Keeper: On her deathbed, Jane's mom, Elaine reveals she always knew Deb wasn't really Jane but still loves her like her real daughter.
- Sleeping with the Boss: Kim in Season 2 through early season 4 with Parker the managing partner.
- Something Only They Would Say:
- In the pilot, a newly reborn Deb is able to convince Stacy who she is by relating a few of the wild adventures the pair have been on which no one else could have known.
- When Jane finally confesses to Grayson she's Deb, he believes it because of how he's noticed over the last few years "Jane" saying little things only Deb would have known.
- Grayson pulls this himself to convince Deb he's been reborn into a man now in prison.
- Star-Crossed Lovers: Fred and Stacey.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In the final season, Teri does one of her usual "whacky hijinks" by posing as a lawyer to help out a friend. She ends up being arrested and sent to jail for a few months for fraud and practicing without a legal license.
- As a topper, when Teri gets out jail, Jane is ready to welcome her back only to be told there's no way a legal firm is going to employ someone who was convicted of being a fake lawyer.
- Thicker Than Water: Sometimes played straight, others not so much.
- Too Dumb to Live: While driving to a model audition, Deb is talking to Stacy on her cell phone and filing her nails at the same time. She doesn't realize she's about to get into a bad crash with the grapefruit delivery truck until it's too late.
- Wham Episode: The season 4 finale. Jane kisses Grayson on the day that she's due to marry Owen. Owen sees them and has a heart attack. Meanwhile, the original Jane pushes the Return button and comes back in Owen's body.
- Also season 6, episode 9. Grayson defends a murderer and is shot.
- What Happened to the Mouse?:
- Parker started off as a cheating womanizer. Once his relationship with Kim kicks into full swing, however, his wife isn't brought up even when Kim shows up at his home or when he's drinking over having broken up with Kim temporarily. Only the womanizing aspect remains and even then it's been downgraded mostly to him simply disassociating himself from past girlfriends.
- The fate of many characters is unknown at the end of the show, namely Fred (who really should have huge problems after what he did) and the original Jane (who didn't even make an appearance in the last season). Not to mention the real Ian Holt, who was crudely executed for a crime he didn't commit, and whose body is now inhabited by someone else's soul.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: By the end, Kim and Jane have essentially evolved into this.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Delivered by the original Jane to Jane when she found out that her mother died, and that Jane didn't have the decency to call and warn her (and, as she points out, she could have perfectly done so).
