Sweet Home... WTF?!?!

2010-09-21T18:34:00.002-04:00

I never understand why people make these decisions. Really? Why?

Tradition At Its Finest

2010-09-21T18:30:00.003-04:00

Oh silly girl... creativity is for men, and only young men at that. I think this letter is signed/written by a woman too!

Interior Design Fail

2010-09-21T18:17:00.003-04:00

Can I interest you in this...lovely...pillow? If nothing else, this just can't be comfortable.

What A Difference One Letter Makes

What? NO one caught that?

Another CLASSY Baby Shower Cake

2010-08-16T17:30:00.004-04:00

Since my last posting on the "Classy Baby Shower Cake" was such a hit, I figured that people needed another one.

Playing Piano With His Toes

2010-08-16T17:12:00.002-04:00

No idea what the first two minutes of the video says... undoubtedly something inspiring and amazing. But Liu Wei has more piano playing talent in his left foot than most of us have in both hands or will have in this lifetime. He recently advanced to the next round in “China's Got Talent”. [note: The song is called “Dream Wedding.” Playing starts about 2 minutes in.]

Linguistically Stupid...

2010-08-16T16:50:00.002-04:00

Can you be thrown out of a Starbucks? Apparently so. This woman threw a fit over the "linguistically stupid" question of whether she wanted butter or cheese with her bagel. Okee... This is also the same woman who refuses to say, "Venti" or "Tall", and prefers to just say small, medium or large. WHY GO TO STARBUCKS THEN IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH? Seriously, people just like to get annoyed and to annoy people.

This Is How I Feel

2010-07-27T09:34:00.001-04:00

I haven't been around for a while... but what better way to get back into it than a puppy post.

Sweet Vaginas, $2 each

2010-05-11T18:04:00.002-04:00

Give your hunny two things he loves.... baked goods and Vagina! And its cheap Vagina, only $2 each!

Derelicte...For Real

2010-03-13T23:45:00.003-05:00

According to Blackbook, this homeless Chinese man, now dubbed “Brother Sharp,” is the new Mary Kate Olsen. Those furry Ugg slippers are so Derelicte! There is a blog about him, following him and his "fashions". The article continues to advise that he is mentally disturbed and looks frightened if you approach him... I can't believe this shit makes news. Seriously... and that I'm re-reporting it to you guys like it is news.

Reporter Straight Up Loses It

2010-03-13T23:23:00.001-05:00

We have all had days like this, right? Now, should we feel sorry for the reporter (Gordon Boyd) (whose rough day at work is now a viral video hit) or should we laugh at his failure? Maybe we can do both...with more emphasis on the laughing.

Best Jobs In America

2010-03-13T23:19:00.004-05:00

http://www.focus.com/images/view/7362/

It’s interesting to see which professions do top the list: systems engineer, physician assistant, college professor, and nurse practitioner. I don't know if I would have thought that... so paper store or clothing boutique owner didn't make the cut?

The Jetson Age Is Here

2010-03-13T23:01:00.003-05:00

It is 2010, and you can finally buy your own jetpack. For a mere $86,000, if you put 10% down now and are willing to wait 12 months -- consider it yours. We can all whine, complain about the price, but admit it... if you had the loot, you would consider it - come one now-- it's a JETPACK!

The jetpack itself is 5 feet tall and 5.5 feet wide (so way bigger than me...) and made of a carbon fiber composite with a pinch of Kevlar for the rotor. It uses regular gasoline and will travel a grand distance of 31.5 miles at a maximum speed of 63 mph, which should comfortably take you from home to office (and back) in a jiffy, and with a lot of noise.

You'll still need to pass a training program before taking receipt of the jetpack, so you don't randomly crash into walls or dive into a gas station. Should such an unfortunate eventuality occur, a ballistic parachute system will (hopefully) lift you away from danger.

Interior Designer of The Year For Sure

2010-03-13T22:38:00.000-05:00

Koopas are the only things that would make this incredible shelf better. The pipe is a nice touch, though.... but only if it would act as a trash can too.

Just Because...

2010-03-13T22:24:00.003-05:00

How do you know when you're REALLY rich (or unbelievably ostentatious)? When you buy watches with dinosaur bones inside just because you can.

This Louis Moinet Jurassic Tourbillon Watch does indeed feature fragments of 130-million-year-old dinosaur bones inside for some reason. Why? Who the fuck knows. But why not, really. It's also got other "nice" features, like an 18K white gold case with 56 diamonds on the bezel. So in other words, it's insanely expensive, because it has some dinosaur dust. And you'll be reminded of how rich you are every time you check the time. I guess that's the point, no?

A Revolution Is On Hand

2010-03-13T22:18:00.002-05:00

The Can Grip snaps on to any standard aluminum can, providing the drinker with not only a handle, but a coaster. AAAAAAAH, future technology! And you won't believe this-- but they're cheap, only $10 for 6. But the real question is... where can I get some of that watermelon beer in the picture? And, more importantly, is it seedless?

Thinking She Should Stay Blonde

2010-03-13T22:05:00.002-05:00

Ehhh... Katherine Heigl as a brunette...not so good. Hopefully for a movie role, but then again-- why would you want to hire someone so cute to have them look worse? HIDS. Then again, it worked for Charlize Theron... Who are we fooling? Heigl is a terrible actress, no need to make her look terrible too. Case closed.

Jessica Simpson: The Reason She Can't Keep a Man

2010-03-13T21:25:00.003-05:00

During an interview with "iheartradio", Jessica Simpson revealed she doesn't brush her teeth just before singing two feet away from a crowd of people. Specifically, Simpson said, "I don't brush my teeth. No, really. I just use Listerine, and sometimes I'll use my sweater."

Is she serious?

I guess so... See the video if you must hear it for yourself.

Crack Pie

2010-02-20T23:18:00.002-05:00

I have been hearing about this Crack Pie... If you live in NYC and haven't tried it yet, I guess you're fast becoming a minority as this simple but apparently addictive little baked good is taking over NYC. It's the new cupcake apparently.

Available at Momofuku Bakery and Milk Bar in Manhattan, its "humble" appearance and simple ingredients are deceiving as it carries a whopping price tag of $44 per pie. The pie has an oatmeal cookie crust base with a filling that includes egg yolks, sugar, butter and heavy cream.

There's an App for That...

2010-02-20T23:16:00.000-05:00

Josh and Ting Li, who met at an Apple store, have become the first couple to get married in one. The event took place at New York's Fifth Avenue store on Valentines Day, with the vows pronounced from an iPhone... and then what? A reception at the Genius Bar?

This Is How It All Begins...

2010-02-20T23:08:00.003-05:00

There is a new "Louboutin" Barbie... now why should a 8-year old know what Christian Louboutin shoes are? I suppose this could be "collectible"... If you are interested, www.net-a-porter.com will have the exclusive...

Buy here: www.net-a-porter.com/barbie starting March 3, 2010.

Is This Necessary...$850 Handbag for Suri?

2010-02-20T23:02:00.003-05:00

Suri Cruise is starting her handbag collection at an early age apparently. Mini Cruise is wearing a tiny "Sophia" Ferragamo bag... it goes for almost a thousand bones.

Just Not Looking Like A 24-Year Old...

2010-02-20T22:52:00.001-05:00

Is Lindsay Lohan looking worse than ever? Maybe a bad camera angle... but between the crow's feet, bags and receding hair line... it's just not good.

Why Would Anyone Just Chill Like This?

2010-02-04T18:01:00.002-05:00

This is just weird. Why is Coco just sitting on top of her sink-- which incidentially looks like a toilet -- to apply her makeup? And why doesn't she get the memo EVER about how sheer white bottoms are just not flattering on people that are "pear shaped"? (Yes, it's a kinder, gentler

YPB in 2010).

Nice Looking Sleeve...

2010-01-26T14:27:00.003-05:00

This is probably the neatest looking laptop sleeve... it looks just like a book!
