Aunt Becky of "Mommy Wants Vodka", who has a hearing July 9th regarding her charges for filing false police reports, is back on Facebook today claiming she is still in danger. Her solution? I've decided to go for the ultimate in home security systems: a dog. These attacks have GOT to stop. Now on my agenda? Finding a crate for a large dog. Also: not dying, because obviously. She goes on to ask 'The Facebook' where she can find an affordable dog crate before responding to other comments asking "What happened to the go fund me for you. Where are...

If you've ever wanted to know how to make a super easy donut cake, The Glitter Guide has your answer. With instructions such as get 24 glazed donuts, place on a tray, and "Repeat until you've used all the donuts", this is surely worth immediately jotting down on a notecard and placing in your Pinstagram worthy recipe box right behind 'Late Night Bacon'.

In a pretty transparent bid to attention grab away from Taza's pregnancy announcement, Hey Natalie Jean finally revealed the over-hyped rebellion tattoo she's been talking about getting since recorded time began. Unfortunately all she did was make the internet go "wait...that looks familiar". Yep, in typical unoriginal Bratalie fashion, she got a design from a decorative pillow permanently placed on her shoulder. Of course she added her own 'hipster arrow' touch, because...yeah. Years of planning and talking and wanting and hyping it up on twitter and instagram, and this is what it was all about? Womp womp. What a failure...

Lauren, over at the Apples and Band-Aids blog, would like all you attractive women on the internet to put your clothes on. She is tired of her husband enjoying your form, and you are ruining their marriage with your gorgeousness. ...I am writing to share the perspective of a woman who is fighting for her marriage. And for that reason, I want to tell you that I don’t need my husband to see your boobs...I don’t blame you for being confident enough to let the world see how good you look in front of the waves with your coozie and...

Camp Mighty, yet another blogger conference/party/to-do list generator, may be going the way of other blog conferences. We thought about switching venues, making the weekend a little shorter, changing the pricing structure, all the things one considers in these situations. Unfortunately, Camp Mighty has become too difficult to swing both financially and logistically. Saying "the landscape around blogging has changed dramatically", they announced that "there won’t be a Camp Mighty this year". I have no idea what that means, unless they are trying to say the blogging bubble has burst and there isn't really any money for conferences anymore. If...

The Babble/BabyZone clusterlol continues. Catherine Connors, now formerly of Disney Interactive, is no longer with Disney Interactive. In a too long, don't bother reading post that can basically be summed up with "well at least I'm doing great and am still employed", Connors found 10 ways of saying "not my story to tell", and said, in so many words, that she can't really talk about what happened. This is all so very vague, I know. I’ll cut to the chase: I left Disney Interactive. I did not leave the Walt Disney Company (that’s an even longer story, one that has...

After 9 months in jail Kelli Stapleton, the blogger who attempted to kill her daughter and herself, is said to be going to trial July 16th. In anticipation of this the "Friends of Kelli" are trying to raise money yet again - this time to finance the testimony of an expert witness on Kelli's behalf: Right now we are seeking funds to hire an expert witness we believe will give important insight to the judge and jury at her trial. Currently, Kelli has no assets to speak of and we are growing extremely concerned about her future without this expert...

Becky Harks, the human carnival who runs the blog "Mommy Wants Vodka" and an abuse/assault survivor site called Band Back Together, has been claiming for a while now that some stranger has been physically assaulting her. The first post apparently appeared in early May. Now it seems Becky is claiming the police do not believe her multiple reports of these phantom men attacking her, informing facebook tonight: Going to turn myself into the cops tonight who claim I filed a false report. She has evidently again updated facebook, saying only: In response to all this...whatever is going on, her "Pranksters"...

Jordan Reid, has the hardest working agent/manager ever, has been waiting patiently for her first book to make some kind of ripple. As of May 19th, however, her Amazon listing only had 14 reviews, most of them obviously from personal friends or fangirls - though there were two 1 star reviews. Strangely as of today Jordan's book only has 12 reviews - and the two 1 star ratings seem to have ramshackle vanished. With Jordan working on her second book it would obviously help her a lot if her first literary attempt had a solid 5 star rating. Is it...

Type-A Parent, arranges a bunch of conferences for mommy bloggers, revealed last month that mommy bloggers don't actually make squat. Now AdWeek has provided a more in-depth breakdown of the responses, and it's pretty eye opening. It seems most respondents invest more in premium blog themes and conferences than in actual advertising, and "product reviews" are number two in the list of covered topics with "causes" coming in dead last. The survey also reports that the "most despised job title by far is mommy blogger, with two out of three respondents saying they either hate it or never use it" -...

With questions beginning to be raised about the #StyleForJustice trip, Noonday is apparently circling wagons. Their non-response after ignoring and allegedly deleting comments asking what percentage of the money actually goes to the artisans has caused some former supporters to lose patience. International Justice Mission is changing the conversation around poverty and I wanted the women in our Noonday community to join in that conversation...We are going to CONNECT. We are connecting with the talented men and women Noonday relies on to bring amazing products to our customers. Since the comments on the rambling 'we are like, super nice people, so like, whatever...

Ben, a travel blogger, is proud of his crowning achievement. Through the use of miles and points I've been the only independent reviewer to publish reports on every single A380 first class product currently in service. Well now Etihad Airways has introduced what is essentially a flying hotel room. Called "Residences", the ultra first class option includes three rooms and a butler. Off course, since the one way ticket for this pointless display of wealth is around $20,000, poor Ben needs the internet to fund his experience: With only one "Residence" per flight, this may very well be the first...

Babble, nobody cares anymore but I sort of feel like I need to finish out this storyline, has returned after being offline for over half a month. Apparently now on a Wordpress platform, the site went live with a bunch of crap still not working (author pages display posts from the wrong contributors). Babble overlords have still not satisfactorily explained why they needed to be offline, though writers are hearing through the grapevine they will be paid their April earnings "next week". One source who wishes to remain anonymous claims employees are basically bound by contract to remain publicly silent...

Kelle Hampton, cares about the safety of women and young girls, is teaming up with 7 other white middle class women to bring "justice" to Rwanda. How will they do that? With a trip sponsored by a jewelry company, duh. This summer, we're fusing fashion and justice as Noonday Collection partners with International Justice Mission for the #StyleForJustice Story Team Trip to Rwanda. Join us as we journey with a group of storytellers in order to spread the word that when we use our purchasing power for good and pursue the cause of justice, hope for the poor is possible....

Holly Becker, apparently an interior decorator or something, has a 3 month old meatloaf. Like most new mothers Holly is mostly concerned about making sure her house doesn't look like a toy store full of unattractive bright plastic toys. (That is what most new mothers are concerned about, right?) The obvious first step towards accomplishing this? Go out and purchase your child unattractive bright plastic toys, of course. I did something I thought I’d never do and bought a play mat that is obnoxiously colorful, loud, silky, shiny, plastic and well, just NOT pretty. The designer in me is going...

Jenny, the DIYer behind the "Little Green Notebook" blog, recently posted about her bathroom makeover. Unfortunately not everyone loved the painted black tile and blue painter's tape plugging and said so in some very straightforward ways. Well Jenny's had enough. Responding to the meanies by telling them "it's not fun to get comments like the handful of negative ones above", she went on to say: It's just hard to see the point, other than to hurt me. So just in case you were wondering if I wanted any "constructive criticism" here - the answer is, probably not. Especially if the...

Jenna Cole, caring mother, spent Mother's Day giving her children their 'weekly bath'. Yes, just like they did in the days before running water Jenna washes her children only once a week. And how's that working out? You read correctly - her son's friend at school told him he stank. When commenters pointed out that maybe it's time to scrub her stinker more often no matter the time of year, Jenna simply told them they need to read a book on the "history of bathing". Asked why she only washes her kids once a week in the first place, Jenna...

It's Mother's Day, and internet mommies are making sure you know they are mothers and have children which makes them mothers. Here's a few of the things internet mommies did this week. Dooce was off in New  York City again with her boyfriend earning herself another Iris Award for her selfless luncheoning on behalf of Every Mother Counts. Gluten-free Girl posted an endless story highlighting her awesomeness as a mother because she diagnosed her daughter with gluten issues, and ended by once again shaming the planet for not catering to her food needs. What I Wore's Messica ate donuts. Again. KERF...

As Babble.com marks its ninth day being offline bloggers finally seem to be asking some questions. One tweeted "Is Babble just dead? Being revamped? I am so confused" with another blogger responding that the situation is "really weird" and "the management was getting really secretive & dodgy". The exchange included this tantalizing tidbit:   This information was apparently obtained "in a closed FB group for bloggers". Babble continues to claim it is merely a "server outage" via their twitter account, while the Babble facebook has not been updated since April 30th. Babble/Disney Interactive's Catherine Connors has said only "I so,...

Young House Love, here, here, and here, have long been getting called out for their ridiculous use of Photoshop for absurd reasons. Now it seems a GOMIBLOG reader found a particularly wtf potential 'shop - safety gear. Apparently back in August Sherdawwwwg and The Guy Who Also Does Stuff refinished their deck. (Yeah, I know, I'm already bored too.) Included in the post was a picture of Essbee painting a railing, looking fit and safety conscious: The problem is, they forgot to delete the original: WOMP WOMP. I'm not sure what the point of this would be, honestly. Why not...
