Danae
One of the coolest characters in *Non Sequitur*, one of the coolest comic strips around. Noted for being preternaturally intelligent, satirical, independent, clever, and sardonic.

Suicide Girls Academy of Style
When you see a girl walking around with seven ponytails, each one in a different completely unnatural colour, standard-issue piercings in all the standard-issue places, and standard-issue tattoos all over the place ... in an outfit of that special over-the-top gothic style that marks someone who's trying way too hard ... and who has obviously sunk many hours of time, many thousands of dollars, and her future prospects for a career outside the sex industry into looking like a bizarre species of camwhore, odds are she holds a diploma from this fine institution.
Wow! Another proud graduate of the Suicide Girls Academy of Style!" "Shit, doesn't she know that even the Suicide Girls don't wear that crap on the street?

fauxhemian
A conformist passing herself off as a nonconformist by going to great lengths to conform to an allegedly nonconforming alternative conformity rather than conforming to the mainstream conformity that she thinks is stiflingly conformist.
Marked by a notable lack of originality and creativity, an absence of genuine artistic talent, and carefully maintained escape routes so that she can give up the game when it stops being convenient.

It costs her a lot of money to look so down-and-out." "Yeah, fauxhemianism is an expensive lifestyle.

Hollywood Squares
There are three paths of burnout for a celebrity: Revolving door rehab, paycheck roles in bad movies, and, if you lose all self-respect, Hollywood Squares.

Lifetime Achievement Award
A very strong mixed signal from an industry association, particularly in the performing arts, given to a long-established figure. It is simultaneously a heartfelt pat on the back for a splendid career, and a forceful hint that said career is now over as far as the industry is concerned. Something like receiving a really meaningful hug while behind guided very meaningfully toward the door.
Ah, she's up for a Lifetime Achievement Award for her music career. Do you think she's going to write her autobiography or go on reality TV?

Lifetime Original Movie
A particular cinematic genre, characteristic of but not limited to the Lifetime Network, a/k/a "Television for Women who Conform to our Distorted Stereotype of our Target Demographic".
An extremely ominous phrase, "Lifetime Original Movie" heralds the advent of extreme tear-jerky melodrama, much gratuitous violence against (upper-middle-class white) women, and an unsubtle implication that men exist only to harm and exploit women.
The phrase can also refer to real-life versions of similar over-the-top pseudofeminist melodrama.
