Where the hell do memes come from? Are there elves in a workshop slaving over odd little things to pass around on teh Internets? Does Al Gore have a workshop? If he does, is he paying the elves a living wage? Anyway, you’ve probably all seen this one by now. It’s an award, created by…
Cute/Funny/Weird
Bookmarked
A Pretty Face, Poetic & Chic and Freelancer’s Fashionblog tagged me with this book meme, for which I must pick up the nearest book, turn to page 123, find the fifth sentence and post the next three sentences. The book is Katherine Swynford: The History of a Medieval Mistress by Jeannette Lucraft, which I previously…
Knockoffs
My new hero, the hilarious mofo Katt Williams, has a few things to say about knockoffs. He’s talking about cars, but his points can be applied to fashion knockoffs too. Not long ago, gorgeous blogger Oh Lady E pointed out Nine West’s Chloe knockoff, while Always in Style came up with a Prada flower feet…
Banning the Trite
The term “effortlessly chic” has been overused to such an extent that it has surpassed “aging gracefully” in its ability to irritate me. Not only is it a fashion cliche, it’s inaccurate as well. Being effortlessly chic and/or gracefully aged requires effort AND good genes. You all are now banned from using “effortlessly chic” or…
More Music Meme-i-Ness
Gorgeous blogger Luxe tagged me to share seven songs that I’m into right now. I already shared my “seven songs for spring” but it’s summer now so I guess I’ll give it a whirl. Here are seven songs I listened to yesterday at the gym. I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry Light My Candle…
Seven Songs Have Sprung
Gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose tagged me to share my “seven songs for spring.” Since spring is over in a matter of hours, I considered waiting till spring 2009 to do this. Procrastinating would allow me to figure out exactly what this tag was about. Am I supposed to share seven songs I listened to this…
Yeah, I Know
My site is down. I did a security upgrade to it, and the charming fuckers at GoDaddy didn’t tell me in advance that it would shut me down for “15 minutes to 72 hours.” Thanks for nothing, guys! UPDATED TO ADD: It’s back! It took several hours, but at least it wasn’t 72 hours.
I’d Like to Thank the Little People
I’d like to thank the little people — the dwarfs AND the midgets — who helped me on my way to the top. Now that I’ve won this prestigious award, I promise I won’t change a bit except for the fact that I won’t return your calls and I’m only going to hang out with…
Unite to Fight Content Thieves
Lately, I’ve been plagued by “blogs” that are picking up my content and presenting it as their own. In at least one case, the entire “blog” consisted of posts that were lifted from all of you fashion-blogging bitches. I recognized all the posts! That one was on WordPress. I reported it via this link and…
The News of the Day
I was really feeling the love for New York today thanks to a nauseating ride with a horn-honking, cursing cabbie who seemed to be belatedly auditioning for a role in Grand Theft Auto IV. In fact, the experience was so much like Grand Theft Auto that I decided to shoot my driver instead of paying…
