Madelene, Barbie's trashy rural cousin she never invites to the Dream House, has joined the world of pimpmoms. She created an instagram account for her two year old daughter and offers her up as a "BRANDREP" for free tiny thigh high  boots and toddler sized daisy duke shorts. (more…)

Glennon, busy being in love, has a way for your holiday to be "low in stress and high in meaning". Just follow her amazing holiday gift guide! (more…)

Erika, the new old joy, is celebrating her family this Thanksgiving. Just kidding, she is posing stoically next to her grandma as she takes her last breaths because even as we die our dignity is unimportant in the face of Instagram likes. Erika provides this overwrought caption to accompany her overwrought picture. grandma is preparing to meet the Jesus she loves, and I must free her to go. no matter how one goes about preparing for the process of dying, finality catches me wholly unprepared, shaken. stir my heart towards joy, oh God, for her faith is soon to be...

Ben Davis, kind of did life and then did internet begging, is apparently in the midst of a rebrand. After completing that webfunded cross-continent instagram party, he proceeded to produce a book. If you want to buy the book you can click the link in my profile or go to benwalksamerica.com. Every book will be signed by me, and hand delivered to the post office. Thanks so much for the patience these last couple weeks. It's been a little stressful putting it all together and waiting on shipping. What is it with bloggers and their shipping issues? Anyway, in the interest of...

Emily, untouchable internet saint, has been hard at work getting her family/lifestyle blogging back on track. Since installing Replacement Huswolf she has made many attempts to show she has moved on from the loss of her first husband. Now she defies all laws of good taste by presenting her 2016 "family holiday cards" - in a sponsored post, no less. I was looking forward to the traditional family card of course, but then because we've had many friends ask for photos of Richard and I, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to order some newlywed/marriage announcement cards as well. I'm beyond happy with how...

You may remember Stasia, fat gal who never got on a bike. She had her second GoFundMe ostensibly for weight loss surgery, but it seems the majority of the funds raised actually went to pay her rent and bills and finance her nights out with "friends". Well, good news - despite claiming she was being evicted this side of 6 weeks ago she is somehow magically now able to afford this surgery. She makes it sound likes she's been busting fupa for years and this is her only option. I have given it a go for 2 years now, and...

Shauna Ahern, the poster girl for gluten-free health, has a long history of making things about her. She is the ultimate topper - no matter what you've experienced or felt, she experienced or felt something much more dramatic and deep and "story" worthy. Now she's trying to top the folks who went through 9/11 by declaring this election "worse" than that event. Sorry thousands of people who died, sorry families of those who died, sorry those who survived and continue to deal with the aftermath - Shauna's preferred presidential candidate didn't win, so she gets to feel worse than you....

The Momastery show rolls on, and in her continuing efforts to copy Elizabeth Gilbert, Glennon has now announced she is in love with a woman. After I told Craig, the first thing he said was: Holy Crap. Is this what all the Indigo Girls has been about? I said, WHOA. I DON’T KNOW...MAYBE? Indigo Girls? Seriously? Of course Glennon, being the famehound she is, couldn't just fall in love with a brutiful teacher or accountant or lap disciple. She had to  find someone famous. Her name is Abby. You might recognize her from soccer. She was one of the best...

If you've been missing Old Joy's Kinfolk castle, don't despair - it's now the home of another instaprarie mama. Yes just head on over to Erika's gram and see the circle of instalife for an on-trend house. Later we can talk about whether it's weird to uproot your life and drop six figures on a house in the pursuit of instagram popularity.

Lauren Bullen has a popular travel instagram. It is so popular that one of her fans decided to copy her. No...I mean REALLY copy her. Like recreate her entire instagram kind of copy her. Lauren put up a post showing a dozen or so other examples of "diana_alexa" and her wackydoodle copycat gram. ...the amount of time and pre-organising she put into arranging the outfits, I don’t promote and tag everything I wear, so that would have taken a lot of time and work, even down to the anklets and necklace. Not to mention the cost of all this- those...

In case you hadn't heard, America had an election Tuesday and despite bloggers' instagram and snapchat campaigns, Trump made it to the Oval. Now most bloggers are coping the only way they know how - publicly. Jordan Reid at Ramshackle Glam, known for her intellectual think pieces, can't seem to get back on track. As a writer, I have no idea how to return to my regular schedule of cute shoes and funny parenting stories, or how to sit down today and start moving through to a to-do list that includes such imperatives as “start compiling holiday gift guide,” and “post flat-lay to IG.” She has...

It's the day we've all been waiting for: the first Vaginal American presidential nominee who might have a shot at winning. And bloggers couldn't wait to show their support, because social media. Jessica Quirk continues to beat that "future is female" tee into the ground while reminding us she is pregnant. Emily over at Cupcakes and Cashmere put up a post bursting with personal vitality and interest. Or she posted this. Run Eat Repeat's Monica never misses a chance to mention her Latina heritage, choosing to make a joke out of an historic election. And Erin decided now was the...

Dani Mathers, that Playboy Playmate who apparently takes pictures of women in locker rooms, has been "charged with one count of invasion of privacy" for her weird, entitled snapchat behavior back in July. Mathers posted a series of snapchat videos of a woman, reportedly aged in her 70s, fully nude and taking a shower in the locker room while Mathers snickered and said "If I can't unsee this then you can't either". After massive backlash Mathers posted some apology snaps and later tweeted: ...I love empowering women and have dedicated my life to that.. I made a horrible mistake and am...

Jessica Quirk, had potential, has posted some exciting information that is incredibly relevant to the coming election. In high school, I was the only girl in my senior class on the short list to win “Most Likely to be a Politician” which I took as a wonderful compliment (see also: most likely to be on the cover of a magazine and most talkative). I didn’t “win” any of them, but I’m 99.9% sure I’m the only one who’s made a career out of being a blogger. Um...k. Not sure why a woman in her mid-30s is still gushing about how she...

Shauna Ahern, flour mogul, has updated her old Kickstarter to let everyone  know the days of flour power are over. In a long rambling novella she shares the profound magic of her flour blends. Your contributions have helped to feed people. Your contribution helped mothers make cookies for their children who were recently diagnosed with celiac and feel like life would be okay again. Your contribution helped make Thanksgiving pies and Fourth of July cakes and birthday treats and the food of beautiful ordinary days. Your contribution helped give ease and comfort to thousands of people’s lives, people who have bought...

Today in "why did you post that?" news, Kelly Stamps, likes Jesus and Sonic, posted a bizarre Instagram story of her small daughter pawing herself in the car. Ok it's redacted all to howdy, but you get the idea. I guess I just don't understand why this activity needs to be posted to a public instagram account.

Mckinli Hatch, wears bikinis, and her husband, a jock or something, are ready for Halloween. The two blonde haired caucasians formulated a racially sensitive and topical couples costume that brought attention to...wait, what the hole? Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh. Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh. I uh...I'm about the least thoughtful person alive but even I know this costume is probably in really, really poor taste for two white people. Wow. I mean...kudos on being #brave and following your #dream or whatever.  Don't let the costume haters keep you down! Wealthy white people costumes matter!

Cecily Kellogg, "social media manager", posted one of her classic omg everyone please notice me shock-jock rants the other day over on that site where washed up/wannabe bloggers go to try and feel relevant. Her fertility struggles worked out in the end because now she has her free-to-be-sexy pansexual tween daughter, but she trots out the 12 year old tale of her twins with a different spin at least once a year. Now she has repackaged her Did You Know I Lost Twin Babies Fifty Thousand Years Ago story to be SEO-friendly during this time of Cheeto Jesus. You can read her latest version here...

Shauna Ahern, grocery store person, has apparently done a lot of thinking since she traded in internet importance for cleanups on aisle 7. In an odd post that is basically a gluten-fee word salad, Shauna says "continuing to write gluten-free girl the way it began doesn’t feel right now", and that she "can’t do it anymore". Again, I’m so grateful that so many of you care. But it has worn on me, these past few years, that my family and our life has become a bit of a commodity. I’m not comfortable with it anymore...Besides, this way of publishing here doesn’t...

Stasia2point0, oops she spent it again, is making good use of her latest round of GoFundMe revenue. First she paid her presumably overdue rent. She got herself more lipstick. Then, after a post saying she "had a pretty rough week", she posted about going out with yet another newly acquired pack of rando "friends". In case you want to send her more money to help her get surgery/pay bills/whatever the GFM is for today, she is now helpfully including the domain she just purchased which is pointed at her GFM page. Dig deep, internet fam! Her soul needs this!
