19 June 2012: 17:31: TomsterdamAT in pop culture
In the Season 1 finale of “Girls”, Hannah’s gay ex-boyfriend Elijah appears with his new rich boyfriend. Hannah tells her current boyfriend Adam that Elijah is about to be “certified in the Alexander Technique”! Is this the first pop culture reference to the Alexander Technique?

Update: I’ve been informed that there was an earlier reference in an episode of “Ugly Betty”. If I find a clip of that, I’ll post it.
