Bravo\u2019s reality show Miss Advised<\/em> is about three women who give relationship advice for a living \u2013 a radio show host, a matchmaker, and a \u201ccolumnist.\u201d They go on awkward televised dates and then see if they can take their own advice. Julia Allison<\/strong>, the columnist, went to see a witch in last night\u2019s episode for help making a love spell. The witch had Julia make \u201ca golem,\u201d which was a small clay figure meant to represent herself and her relationship issues or something.<\/p>\n<\/iframe>\n<p>So here\u2019s the thing about golems: yes, they\u2019re made of clay or dirt, but that\u2019s about all the witch lady got right. Golems are figures from Jewish mythology, who are created out of inanimate matter and then brought to life. Golems are usually giant, usually male, and usually unable to speak or communicate. (<strong>Cynthia Ozick<\/strong> creates a great female golem character in <em>The Puttermesser Papers<\/em>, which everybody should go read.) Golems are supposed to be created when Jewish people are in a time of danger. In other words, golems are not things that you make because you are trying to convince a dude to date you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bravo\u2019s reality show Miss Advised is about three women who give relationship advice for a living \u2013 a radio show host, a matchmaker, and a \u201ccolumnist.\u201d They go on awkward televised dates and then see if they can take their own advice.
