Love Taza, as a family, is apparently selling off her clothes. She says she is in "crazy spring cleaning mode and wanted to sell a few favorites here before donating the rest". For just $15 in shipping the highest bidder can own some used Anthro/Forever 21/J Crew/Zara clothing. The fire sale comes on the heels of the announcement that Pippit went to the big app farm in the sky. If nothing else, it's amusing to see how much fangirls will pay for used clothes just because they touched the skin of Almighty Naomi.

Jessica Quirk, wears stuff, wants people to know she wears the same things over and over because she is super real. Saying "Yea, I wore the dress last week and I like it, so I’m wearing it again!" she then proceeded to rant about how blogland kind of sucks nowdays. I’ve been a little disenchanted with the blogging world lately with all of it’s perfection. The outfits have become astronimically expensive and disposable. I don’t have the budget or desire to wear things once. Sure, I have a dozen designer pieces I’ve invested in, but I’ll wear the same $25...

Today in blogger health news, Jordan Reid, still not famous, had a horrible moment recently. ...a few weeks ago I was just hanging around the house with Kendrick and the kids and suddenly I got this searing pain in my chest, and I swear to god I started thinking that I was having a heart attack, it hurt so badly. I was sort of pacing around the house rubbing my chest and telling Kendrick that I thought we were going to have to go to the hospital.. Described as "a can’t-move-can’t-stand-someone-call-me-a-taxi-because-I’m-done pain", she "all of a sudden...remembered" it felt the same as an...

Pippit, the 'social media app' developed by Mr. Love Taza, his wife, and Oh Joy!, has quietly died. An email sent out to users announced they have 'discontinued support for the app'. When we first came together in 2012 to brainstorm ways to bridge the worlds of blogging and social media, we laid the foundation of a new app, Pippit. Our vision for Pippit has always been to create a beautiful social media platform that highlighted strong blog content with tools for discovering and sharing helpful information as a new framework for social commerce.  We shared the prototype of that vision last summer....

Hey Natalie Jean, totally almost Jewish, bids you Gut Shabbos with a timely and hilarious Anne Frank post to her instagram. Live from her hashtagged European tour we present a totally ok joke to make on a Saturday of all days. You have to hand it to her - she really knows how to close out Pesach, am I right?

Lacey Spears, the mommy blogger accused of poisoning her 5 year old son with salt, has been convicted and sentenced to 20 years to life. Westchester County assistant district attorney Doreen Lloyd says Spears administered the final doses of salt into her son's feeding tube while he was in hospital, and according to WFAA.com he suffered hours of "explosive bouts of diarrhea" when his body "tried to expel the poison". The BBC reports that Spears "administered salt into her son Garnett's feeding tube from infancy while writing a blog about his illness". Supreme Court Justice Robert Neary said Spears suffers...

Prissy Melissa, weight loss instablogger, has a message so important it had to be filmed while driving. And what was this message? Everything in moderation, and also she eats all the snack packs. i'm just joking in this video, but seriously though.... everyone's body is different. i can't tell you how many times a day i have people tell me that i need to eat in moderation and not cut out any one type of food...if i were to eat 100 calorie snack packs not only what i eat every snack pack in the box but would proceed to finish...

Weekands with tha Weegaaaanzz Chris Wiegand, who brought us the amazing experience known as "American Blogger", and his wife Casey, a blogger of course, are now starring in "Weekends With The Wiegands" on The Design Network. There’s never a dull moment in the Wiegand household! Chris Wiegand, a filmmaker, and wife Casey, creator of the wildly popular Wiegands blog, have recently moved into a new house in Dallas where they’re eager to jump in and make it feel like home. Chris’s expert carpenter skills and wife Casey’s unique, artsy style are put to the test as they begin renovations. Apparently...

Naomi, of the Love Taza blog, had a sad, but pretty wonderful, but kind of sad, but really it was great, but also sad, but it made her appreciate her family even more kind of Easter. my heart already felt a bit heavy from the day. we’d heard news that sweet friends of ours had lost their little one that morning, and i just couldn’t wrap my head around it. my heart felt so broken. i watched eleanor quietly as she brushed her teeth.  she leaned outside the doorway of the bathroom and looked over at me, giving me the biggest thumbs up, as...

We Wore What, the blogger who totally doesn't photoshop, has a "new startup". She is now selling cheap bindis, apparently marketed towards white folks going to festivals. we appropriated what Yes folks, now you too can participate in traditional "gypsy" culture by wearing a "bindi". Wait. What?

My copy of "Design Mom: How To Live With Kids: A Room-By-Room Guide" by Gabrielle Stanley Blair finally arrived last night. In spite of its lumbering title I am prepared to provide you hams with a real-time reading review. I have bellini fixin's and a whole day to kill, so let's get this party started! (more…)

In a performance worthy of the Grammys the folks at Social Media Marketing World sang the moving song "We Are Social". The stirring performance is being hailed as the new "Give A Kidney" and we fully expect a full length musical to be written around this amazing song. If you want to feel like you're being held by a choir of angels for 7 thundering minutes of musical bliss, do yourself a favor and watch this video.     So brave. This is just more proof that constant praise no matter what results in magnificently talented humans. Only positive feedback...

The Internets Hug Council announced today that meanies on the intarwebs have been completely eradicated thanks to the work of super so brave bloggers. "We are so thrilled that the internet is now restricted to nice people saying nice things," said Careof Tynole. "People telling other people their content is not good is something that should have ended years ago!" Susan Sponzorad says that for "far too long, people have been made to feel bad by the objective critiques of others" and claims the "new law will make it possible for people to produce endless mediocrity without fear of honest...

Rachel Parcell, of the money tree Parcells, finally posted the details of her baby shower. It's about as low key and tasteful as you'd expect from someone who thinks the ideal office space involves animal print rugs and pink high heels. Wearing her usual light touch of makeup and practical shoes, Rachel swept into the intimate gathering and began posing for the hired photographer. The shower had about 9 gorillion acres of flower arrangements (pink and white peonies and roses of course), custom invitations, and a three course catered meal with a 'gourmet' bakery providing the requisite macarons. Kim Kardashamormon...

'Hey Natalie Jean', the book by Natalie Jean,  seems to be disappointing about 50% of the planet. As usual Natalie will blame someone else for why it's not anything like what she promised it would be. Abrams requested a traditional coffee table blog-to-book kind of deal; a lot of photos, all lifestyle advice--such is the market (for a while they wanted recipes? disaster!)--and that really scared me...There was a bit of a song + dance that had to go on in order to keep a lot of the essays that made it in the final manuscript--Abrams wanted a ham sandwich,...

Kristen Howerton, the wonderful human being behind "Rage Against The Minivan", is cashing in on the latest parenting trend - shaming your children for comedic effect. She has started up an instagram and a blog promoting her "A**hole Parents" hashtag. She put out a call on her own gram account, asking people to submit pictures. The images are basically children being children, because, ya know, how dare they. These pictures are then captioned by parents who are apparently tired of their little angels not being appropriately grateful or well-behaved 24/7. I assume this is all supposed to be just hilarious...

Gluten-Free Girl has a shop up on her site to sell that Kickstarter flour she was going to produce. 2 1/2 lbs of her super special flour will cost you about $26 with shipping. That seems reasonable. Young House Love's second book Lovable Livable Home: How to Add Beauty, Get Organized, and Make Your House Work for You is evidently going forward despite the closure of their blog. It is up for pre-order on Amazon. Love Taza begins encroaching on World Famous Author Natalie Jean's Brooklyn Hipster kingdom by announcing she's 'in Williamsburg' working on 'something exciting'. Super successful blogger...

The Whole Pantry, the app and community created by magical mystery cancer lady Belle Gibson, appears to be unraveling. The app is apparently no longer found on the Apple App Store - and publisher Penguin has pulled the 'Whole Pantry' book. ...we have been left with no other option but to stop supplying the book in Australia. We remain hopeful that we will receive the formal assurances we have requested in the coming days... Since Belle's instagram has been emptied of photos and the Whole Pantry facebook page seems to be unavailable, media outlets can only continue to wait for...

Taza, of the von Derp Family Performers, is taking a break from sponsored food box posts to faff around Hawaii on a sponsored trip to some resort. While there, she shoved her daughter up to a captive dolphin because vacation or no, the show must go on. I won't get into my feelings about this sort of thing, but hey, the dolphin got some fish afterwards. So at least someone is getting paid for their performance, right?

I received a lovely gift today - a copy of 'Hey Natalie Jean', the world tour worthy freshman book effort by the blogger formerly known as Nat the Fat Rat. Because I so enjoy drinking and falling on grenades for my GOMIBLOG hamily, I will now proceed to use my day off to read this with a bottle or five of prosecco and update this post in real time with my thoughts, including pictures. Just keep on hitting refresh - I'll get the first part up and then continue updating as I read. Off we go! (more…)
