The Cupcakes and Cashmere Nordstrom line has been available for a few days now. The collection is about as much of a yawn farm as one would expect considering the most vanilla blogger on earth created it. It's mostly striped cotton, shapeless dresses, leather shorts, jumpsuits, and various items made out of a floral fabric that appears to be the skin of a sofa belonging to my Aunt Helen in Boca Raton. Pretty basic crap that is sold at every Target ever since 2001. Yet this snore inducing collection is enraging people because it only goes up to a size...

Gala Darling, author of (what she calls) the "best-selling book" 'Radical Self Love', has announced the end of her four year marriage. After 4 years of marriage, my husband and I have decided to go our separate ways. While Mike (and Dolly) have moved out, we are still extremely close friends and will continue to work together on my site, as we have been doing the whole time we’ve been together. We’re both excited to move onwards and upwards, and I’m so thankful that we have been able to end things amicably and with a lot of love. Speculation about...

Happy Friday, hamcats! Are you American hams ready to celebrate this nation by shotgunning PBR and acquiring sparkler related injuries? Too bad. Because this week we are going on a journey of healthy food, exercise, and alcohol restraint with Tina Haupert's 'Carrots 'N' Cake: Healthy Living One Carrot and Cupcake at a Time'. So restrict yourself to one beer, hide the cookies, and then dust off those treadmills as we learn how a healthy living blogger keeps herself in blogging shape. (more…)

Are you a manic pixie dream girl looking for a perfectly twee home where you can binge watch 'The New Girl' in perfect curation? Perhaps you're just a regular person who really liked every decor trend of 2011 and wish you could find a house that already looks like a 4 year old YHL pinterest board? Well look no further. For just $189,000 you can own the "ABM studio house", up for sale by the gals at A Beautiful Mess. If you want to see 24 staged photos, ya know, in case you haven't seen the 590384293842392 staged photos from...

Hey there ham dawgs! It's Friday, and that means it's time to get our bookdizzle on! This week we'll be bling blingin' to Young House Love. So put on your old blazer, throw your hair in a ponytail, and photoshop away your baby bump, because it's time to read 'Young House Love: 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update & Show Your Home Some Love' By Sherry & John Petersik. (more…)

The schaden-fraud that is the saga of Belle Gibson, cancer faker, now continues on 60 minutes. Gibson gave an interview to the news show which will air this coming Sunday. Why do this? Is it because she wanted to issue an apology? Confess her sins? Nope, it's because she reportedly got paid upwards of $45,000 dollars for the interview. Saying "I'm not trying to get away with anything" and "I've lost everything", Gibson's voice and face remained carefully controlled. Others are not so self-contained - the 60 Minutes facebook post is filling up with comments full of outrage that a...

Last week the Mama Laughlin bikini train came to an abrupt stop when someone on instagram began accusing her of sleeping with their husband - and it got nasty. Screenshot of some of the accusations. The account "championsincabo" has since disappeared but had posted several pictures with various claims, and used the now familiar hashtag takeover method to get the word out. The attack went on for several days apparently, and when asked why they were doing this, the account owner replied "because she fed my husband. That's why." Mama Laughlin then set her instagram account private - and rapidly...

Cary Randolph, getting married in the Hamptons, got married in the Hamptons about an hour ago. Evidently she and her non-Kennedy husband are now at the reception dancing to totes ironic music. Congratulations, Cary! You got married before 30, just like you always wanted. Sorry nobody bought you that $700 gravy boat though.

Happy Radical Friday, hams! It's time to tap away that negative haterness and join me in reading Gala Darling's limited edition, available for one month only, life-altering book, 'Radical Self Love - A Guide To Loving Yourself And Living Your Dream'. Get yourself a pink drink, put on some  Instagrammable shoes, and let's love each other radically. (more…)

Jenna Cole, wannabe coder, just couldn't catch a break this week. After being unable to get on the plane to Poland because her son's passport status wasn't up to par, she spent the last few days trying desperately to get everyone's passports in order. She finally had to give up and spent yesterday "day drinking" while on the phone with the airline trying to "recoup costs". Because, alas, it seems the entire passport computer system is down or something and Jenna will not be taking Gollum smile selfies in Greece. The state department issued a notice last week about technical...

Rach Parcell, the big dollar blogger behind Pink Peonies, seems to be doing well with her "Pink Peonies Collection" jewelry. She has spent the past few months gramming pics of herself 'designing' jewelry and very much giving the impression that her pieces were original designs by her. But is that truly the case? Some eagle eyes noticed that the "newest arrivals of my jewelry line" looked awfully familiar. Evidently Pink Peonies Collection is almost exactly the same as jewelry that can be found through several mass sellers, including AliExpress and Amazon. This is strange because in her announcement back in...

Matt Walsh, still talking for some reason, has pronounced Bruce Jenner's transformation into Caitlyn an "insult to women". First, he calls Caitlyn's Vanity Fair cover a "horrifying" "fiction". Indeed, everyone is treating a disturbing Photoshopped picture of a mentally disordered grandfather dressed up as a college girl like it’s mankind’s greatest achievement since spaceflight. Once again, there is a virtually unanimous public agreement that “transgender” people like Bruce Jenner are heroes and saints and and messiahs, and should be worshiped...The truth is, I get so sickened and infuriated by this kind of madness... He then gadded over to another blog...

Jordan Reid, super chill parent, has arrived with her family at their new home in 'San Francisco's South Bay'. She immediately exchanged the daisy duke shorts she apparently wore for two straight weeks of road tripping for a bikini in order to do a sponsored post about wine and bbq around their new pool. Her "kids are ob. sessed" with that giant shimmering hole full of water in the backyard. Thankfully Jojo takes pool safety very seriously. As an aside, because the safety issues surrounding kids and pools clearly deserve mention – our approach this weekend was to have a serious...

Despite last week's doxing of her latest alleged Five Year Stalker, The Feminist Breeder has not moved on. In a post on Facebook yesterday Gina continued her evil cartoon queen laughing about her big victory over 'trolls'. When any of her fans expressed the opinion that this fixation was becoming a bit tiresome for her readers, Gina accused them of siding with the 'trolls'. With increasing defensiveness in the comments Gina claimed to have "all the proof in the world on my side", and when informed that perhaps doxing someone and contacting their family was not the way to handle...

Happy Friday, hamcats! It's time for Book Club, and this week we will be loving color or something. Get your glue guns, your pinterest boards, and your love of twee ready and follow along as I share 'A Beautiful Mess: Happy Handmade Home' by Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman, the women who run A Beautiful Mess. (more…)

Gina, aka The Feminist Breeder, troll hunter, has spent the past two years rooting out "trolls" in her "community". Last week, in her ongoing effort to control access to her amazing world, she informed all subscribers they must provide links to personal social media accounts so she can verify their identity. Apparently at least one subscriber decided to peace out rather than give Gina her information, and cancelled her subscription. Gina promptly disabled her account, at which point the user asked Paypal for a refund since she had already paid for the month, and she still had two weeks left...

Cecily Kellogg, graceful swan and accountability coach, will be unable to 'work' for who knows how long. What happened, you ask? Oh, just another brilliant decision leading to another convenient end-of-month work-halting health problem. I tried to roller skate. Bruised my tail bone and threw my back out badly. I mean...really what else is there to say here when the mental image is probably funnier than any joke I could write. The amazing thing is that she works from home on a laptop and somehow still constantly finds a way to get out of work. They said it couldn't be...

Today in nothing's sacred news, Amber Venz Box, the coppertopped overlord of RewardStyle, has announced she has a little liketoknowit in the oven. She and her husband Baxter Box are expecting a daughter this fall. Obviously the woman who invented Put A Monetize On It! couldn't just throw up a twee post with some baby shoes or something - she put up a credit filled announcement party post. I am elated to finally share some news with you that Baxter and I have been keeping secret for the last few months: WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY GIRL! Little B.B. will...

Today is a day like no other. Your life, quiet, stumbling like a small child in search of the truffles that have already been found by hogs. It will change today. It will change swiftly but it will feel endless, like a heartbeat between I love yous, or like the morning after you win a chili eating contest. Today you will breathe along with 'Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef' by The Gluten-Free Girl Shauna Ahern, and also Daniel Ahern. I bring you this review as a gift. A gift from my heart to yours, because I love you all very...

Jordan Reid, self-proclaimed 'writer', is on her family roadtrip from NYC to San Jose. Along the way she decided to stop in Hot Springs, Arkansas for a 'couple of days'. I want to be clear: there are great things about the area. It is beautiful out there in the country...There is so much poverty. There is so much decay. And god, is there ever a lot of racial tension; you can practically feel it in the air. The 'liberal resident of a coastal state' then described the horrifying situations she was exposed to in omgAR. The hotel we stayed in –...
