One More Thing Before We Go: I’m Too Sexy For The Times

Feb 25, 2009 Comments Off

So I found this Gawker piece on illustrations that had been rejected by the New York Times for being too sexy hilarious. Mainly, b/c you’d have to be a 13yo or have some really random fetish in order to find these images remotely sexual. Just one example below. Yes, the idea of bankers sucking America [...]

Notes from a Nester: A Most Unusual Nester…

Feb 25, 2009 16 Comments

. a blogumn by Debra Barlow I was at a bit of a loss this week as I sat down at the computer.  Nothing is really going on to inspire a column.  I baked some more bread and it turned out better, but still not perfect.  I’ve started using a new organic laundry detergent, but [...]

Procrastinate on This! Hello Kitty!

Feb 25, 2009 Comments Off

How much do I love that the Hello Kitty copyright holders allowed whatever Alice-in-Wonderland-cotton-candy-vagina-metaphor-obsessed team that came up with this Hello Kitty M.A.C. commercial to reimagine their character this way. Another highlight: suspendered up, hard-bodied men dancing in black Hello Kitty heads. Seriously, does it get any better than this?

Chic Geek: The Beauty of Geekery

Feb 25, 2009 26 Comments

. a blogumn by Delia Hauser The other day, when I was researching my next article, I stumbled upon on a whole section of Etsy I stupidly haven’t even addressed yet.  How dare I leave out those sellers that proudly list their wares under the category “geekery”?!  Yes, that’s right; not JUST clothing, or jewelry, [...]

Wow! It’s Wednesday! The Heel of the Matter

Feb 25, 2009 14 Comments

So I’ve never been the type of woman that could wear high heels all day. Pumps … only if I won’t be doing a ton of standing. Wedges, though, are awesome and I used to wear them into the ground. However, I made an awful discovery when I slipped on my sister’s black wedge boots [...]

Guess the Random Lyric: You-1; Me-1

Feb 25, 2009 2 Comments

Hiss! So Di from California guessed that yesterday’s lyric was from “Falling Slowly” by the now kaput Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of Once fame. Sad that they broke up. They literally made beautiful music together. At least this next group is still together. Who sang: There’s a camera rolling on her back, on her [...]

If You Ask Me: Single Ladies Put A Grill On It

Feb 24, 2009 17 Comments

. a blogumn by Travis Randall . If You Ask Me…Ladies should not marry a man that cannot BBQ or grill. Again, this should be filed in the “No Shit” section of life’s rules, but a lot of girls don’t seem to understand the importance here. I want to mention that this is a skill [...]

Feb 24, 2009 2 Comments

I haven’t seen Mad TV in a while, but this sketch is so deadpan hilarious that I fear that I might be missing out. Thanks to Zacki from “Tall Glass of Shame” for hepping me to this.

Political Physics: The Jigsaw Approach to Dealing with the Economic Crisis

Feb 24, 2009 23 Comments

. a blogumn by Monique King-Viehland Last week I wrote about the fact that we are facing significant financial troubles at every level of government – local, state and federal – in the US.
