J, not too old for that outfit, is done dealing with commentary she doesn't like. Less than a month after declaring  "I view “negative” things as a chance to grow", she has decided to on a new comment policy to prevent anything not "happy and upbeat" from appearing on her site. Though "another possible option...is closing down comments altogether", she says she decided that would be "letting the bad apples win". Instead, she will do what so many other bloggers have done in the past - approve comments by hand. I’ve had no restrictions on comments for the past two years...

Young House Love, professional bloggers, are doing less and less blogging. Well...less and less blogging that their readers care about. You see, after informing everyone back in April that they didn't even want all this popularity and would be "scaling back" their posting frequency, readers have become less and less gruntled - and that growing irritation came to a head after the Dynamic Do-overs announced there would be only one actual post this week on their little blog bliggidy blizzog. We hoped to have a Thursday post for you guys but this week didn’t go as planned. So sorry! Suddenly...

Katie Bower, owner of a "crack house", finally gets to use the vague brag beloved of bloggers - a secret project. Saying "spoiler alert not a book!" she then went on to say in another instagram post: "Today was CRAZAY! #camerainmyface #nowiknowhowmykidsfeel". However, some intrepid hamvestigators found more concrete hints around instagram. It seems KayBee might be doing some kind of video thing for Home Depot's Home Decorators Collection. Other bloggers, including "The Hunted Interior", also seem to be part of this #secretproject, so I don't understand all the wink winking from KayBee. Then again the OMG SECRET PROJECT HERE'S...

Ramshackle Glam, the online diary of Jordan Reid's sad attempts to seem adorkably clumsy and relatable yet super glamorous and aspirational, now has an app. For what? Who knows? The description isn't very illuminating. This app is the go-to for all things lifestyle-related! Want DIY tips? Style tips? Cooking tips? Ramshackle Glam has it all! From the screenshots it appears to be nothing more than a glorified feed reader for Jordan's site. Since it was created using that DWNLD site I doubt it's any kind of incredible iPad tool. I guess I'm just confused as to why she felt the...

After cancelling this year's event the Healthy Living Summit has now announced they will be shutting down completely. It is with heavy hearts that we announce that the Healthy Living Summit is being shut down. After much thought and consideration, we’ve decided that this is the best move for our team and business. We will be leaving the website up until July 2015, and will no longer be updating our social media accounts, beginning today. Well so much for that. Now where will HLBs get their self-importance jollies and bags of free KIND bars? We seriously need to take bets...

In case the ladysites out there didn't give you something to faux poutrage over today, "Peacock Angel" offers you proof that the Dove ads are basically pushing the Nazi agenda. I’m pointing out that valuing natural beauty and trashing artificial beauty is really— eugenics-y and also literally something the Nazis did, and how that ideology kind of plays into this Crap. She then includes a huge paragraph describing Nazi Germany's "ideal woman" -  a tall, large hipped Teutonic fraulein with naturally blonde hair and perfect skin. To which PA responds that the "whole “healthy and able to birth children easily,...

Kelli Stapleton, the mom blogger charged with trying to murder her autistic daughter, pleaded guilty to first-degree child abuse. The plea was entered one day shy of the date Stapleton drove her daughter out to a lake and lit up grills inside her vehicle in an attempted murder-suicide by carbon monoxide. The plea was part of a plea bargain that drops the attempted murder charge - and of course allows her to avoid a trial. She still faces up to life in prison.

Messica, pregnant forever, has squirked her Quirk. Felix Alexander Quirk was born August 31st. Congrats to the family!

Maggie Mason, still around, has apparently been using her Camp Mighty-less summer wisely. It seems she went on a nice vacation and upon her return, felt it was finally time to break some news to the internets. We’re just back from a family road trip. I say family, because a few months back Brad and I got engaged. That's pretty much it. She also said she and her son "like this guy" and posted it under her "mighty life list" whatever that is. I mean, at least she didn't give us a 30 scroll snore fest with every detail of...

Cecily Kellogg, doesn't even need that Babble money, is adding a new "um...sure" listing to her resume - "accountability coach". For just $14.99 a week you can hire the stunningly successful at everything Ms. Kellogg to keep you accountable and teach you how to be productive. This is so ludicrous the only thing I can even say about it is an eyeroll.

Cary Randolph, classy Superstorm Sandy survivor, is now taking on her seventh or eighth persona in the last five years - she's now a founder. It seems everyone's favorite former fashion week reporter turned Brooklyn skate rat turned marathon runner turned Newport WASP turned Hamptons party girl turned New York socialite/Ralph Lauren editor has bought a domain for - excuse me, founded - something called "Track & Feel". The twitter bio for the newly founded website thing urges you to "sweat often & elegantly", and its stream seems to be nothing but mentions of sports equipment, workout clothes, and informing...

With tips on talking to your kids about drugs and proper discipline techniques - even some helpful dating advice -  there's a whole lot of WTF to enjoy on the Vine of "a literal potato". Go get yourself some Franzia and be prepared to say "lol wut" a lot. And if you have any WTF Vines to share be sure to do so in the comments. I'm sure everyone would appreciate another time suck.

Sparkling Adventures, "nomadic mama", has set off on her "big trip to the other side of the globe" where she is supposed to birth and hand off her "gayby". She and her children have emptied out their house bus and tossed everything not essential for a winter trip to Iceland. When thinking about our trip to Europe, it’s hard to predict everything that we’ll need for life, learning and adventures...Essential items for the girls include their sleeping blankets, one favourite toy, swimming things, a few drawing/writing/reading materials and their kipis. Saying her children are able to "sleep anywhere", Sparkles anticipates...

Natalie Hill, the "Broadway star" behind the yawn farm Mormon In Manhattan, is no longer in Manhattan. She has moved to Utah - though like Jessica Quirk all those years ago, she is claiming she will keep a pied-à-terre in NYC - and in a few weeks she will be marrying that guy she met 6 months ago. Yes kids, after 10 years of husband hunting ole Natalie has finally bagged herself a man. She has spent the last few months bragging about moving to some swanky part of Salt Lake City and having multiple engagement and bridal showers and...

Aunt Becky, was going to try and do some kind of play on "Aunt Trainwrecky" here but can't seem to make it work, was back in court today to deal with the charges claiming she filed false reports. After being charged with two felony counts, she continued to claim she was in physical danger as her fans poured money into a "protection fund". But it seems all that happened at court today was a "Pretrial Diversion Application", with a new date set for October 15th. In the majority of cases, offenders are diverted at the pre-charge stage. Participants who successfully...

Jenna, "solo parent working mom entrepreneur", has posted a delightful story about her baby daughter. It seems little Princess got into some hair wax and had covered herself and her stuffed lion in the stuff. Rather than plop her into her weekly bath, she took the wax covered child into the backyard for a full on photo shoot. She then good- naturedly made a joke about it being time to baby proof her house. This would have gotten a knowing laugh from most mothers if not for the fact that this exact scenario has already been documented by Jenna over...

Somewhat old news, but in case you haven't seen it yet there is a wonderfully uplifting tumblr called "Women Against Feminism". It's full of empowering anti-feminist sentiments such as "I don't need feminism...because it causes misandry" and "I need feminism because I'm a lesbian so men disgust me". And the ever supportive signs proclaiming feminism the exclusive domain of dumb whores. It's mostly a bunch of the same party lines you'll hear on any MRA website, just pushed by vaginal citizens instead of angry dudes with nice guy syndrome roid rage. Enjoy!

Mandy, attended Northwestern, recently wrote a rambling blather of a post about waking up her old writing teacher in the middle of the night. You see, James Foley attended Northwestern. Mandy also attended Northwestern, where she took writing classes from a professor at Northwestern. Northwestern. Anyway, the post is basically Mandy trying in some ham fisted way to make the murder of a journalist in Iraq all about Mandy, and that it hit her harder than anyone else...because James Foley attended Northwestern, and so did Mandy, and Mandy is also a "journalist". Or something. If you're confused, don't worry -...

Keiko Lynn, the neutron star of tweesmug, and her "fellow" Bobby got new ink recently, revealed on their instagrams. Awww how totes presh. And perfectly timed, too - the glasses they have now permanently branded on their bodies are part of longtime sponsor Bonlook's Keiko collection. I've been waiting to share this news for what seems like forever: I designed a pair of cat-eye glasses for Bonlook...I designed a retro cat-eye with subtle embellishments and more modern proportions - they're a little on the larger size, without being overwhelming. So...I mean, I guess you could spin it as Keiko being...

Mrs. Handbasket, pro-sex offender, is at it again. This time Handy's telling churches "how a congregation should respond to sex offenders among them". Blasting the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America for publishing a legal guide for dealing with sex offenders in their congregations, Handbasket begins at the point that is always central to their mind - p**oph**es.
