That Wife Will Not Deal With Kids Or Readers

Jenna Cole, stay at home tweeter, has had a busy few days. It seems nannies and mother's helpers are no longer providing enough "me time" for Jenna, because now both of her children have been shipped off to daycare: And how did Jenna spend her first day full of newfound work hours? Why, telling her readers their opinions don't matter, of course. Saying she is a "gladiator in my own arena" and that the "feedback that does matter comes from a very select group of people" who provide her with hugs when she shares things, she announced she won't be listening...

CecilyK Won’t Let You Forget She Has No Heat

Cecily Kellogg, former financial adviser, is apparently still living with a broken furnace - during one of the worst cold spells in recent memory. She announced on November 28th that her furnace was out: Since then she has said the family is using space heaters to keep the cold at bay, but it seems she still hasn't taken care of the actual problem. She tweeted yesterday that they still do not have a working hvac system: It seems the space heaters are not fully addressing the issue since she also tweeted about being "#coldasf*ck" and saying that her pets are...

What I Wore Finally Becomes Lifestyle Blog

After basically abandoning her attempts to get her blog That's Quirky off the ground, Jessica Quirk has decided instead to begin transitioning her daily outfit blog into a lifestyle site.  In yesterday's post she announced the coming change: On a side note: If you’re only here for Daily Outfit posts, please save THIS LINK in your bookmarks. You’ll be seeing more food and lifestyle posts on What I Wore in 2014!  We've been saying for a while that she needs to fold What I Wore into her "That's Quirky" site and just have a lifestyle blog. Despite how much I hate rebranding,...

ROK Wants You To Stop Being A Fat Mom

Return of Kings, the MRA site that seems to have an obsession with fat women, is once again obsessing over fat women. This time they are telling women that "Pregnancy Is No Excuse To Be Fat And Gross": There’s an epidemic of land whales in first world countries bortching about post pregnancy bellies, blaming even their own children for being fat...After a year of pregnancy, a woman has absolutely no excuse to be overweight. They’re just fat chicks who happen to be mothers. After going through a bunch of math that basically says you should only gain enough pregnancy weight...

The 2014 GOMI Awards Are In

Another year of fail has ended. As we look forward towards a new year of new fails, let us congratulate those who sufficiently ruined enough of the internets to make you vote on them. Dooce won Most Likely to Call it Quits in 2014 which may turn out to be either the most amazingly accurate prediction ever, or a lot of wishful thinking. Since she also won Biggest Decline maybe it's more accurate than any of us know. Hey Natalie Jean also takes home a Hammy for dual category wins - Best Non-Apology/Backpedal for Menorahgate, and Biggest WTF Moment when readers found a...

Preppy Bloggers Apparently Engaged

Kiel James Patrick, makes preppy white people things, and his girlfriend of 9,057 years Sarah Vickers did the totally traditional romantic New Year's Eve thing - they staged a proposal photo for instagram. Guy Who Resembles Fozzie Bear kneeled socklessly before Kate Middleton Hair and asked "Sarah Vickers will you be my Princess?" And just like in a Disney princess movie, Sarah replied via instagram with many exclamation points. Yippedoodle for them, I guess. Maybe she can get him a nice razor as an engagement gift?

“The Fitnessista” Producing The Latest Blogger Book

The Fitnessista, expert mother, finally got a book deal after 5 years of trying: In the entire proposal process,I’d lost quite a bit of my voice by trying to formalize my writing style; in the past I’d been told that I “use to much slang” and need to “tighten things up.” This time, I finally felt like there was freedom to write whatever and however I wanted, so I rewrote the entire proposal...She wrote back and said she loved it (!), presented it to her publishing house, the concept passed, and she sent the contract over a month later. The book...

Babble Bloggers Still Waiting To Get Paid

GOMIBLOG has now heard from several sources that Babble, the bloglomerate where so many bloggers make their real money, is now weeks late in sending out payments to their writers. According to one source "many are now not able to celebrate hristmas", and goes on to state: Babble promises daily it will be fixed and no one has seen a check and or a post to their accounts. It is disgusting the way they are leaving their bloggers who work hard for them to bring in their milions of traffic daily! Even so Babble was extremly picky this month not...

Cecily Doesn’t Have To Disclose Sponsorships

Cecily Kellogg, ethical, announced a few days ago that she had a sponsored post scheduled. A few days later, a post showed up pimping out some kind of insurance, full of sponsored links. There's just one problem - there's no disclosure in sight. It's been two days and Cecily has yet to address the fact that she put up a sponsored post without any disclosure whatsoever. I understand everybody's gotta make a buck these days, but there are rules about this that leave no doubt about how sponsored posts are to be handled. I don't understand why bloggers keep flouting...

J’s Everyday Fashion Will Explain Age Ranges

J's Everyday Fashion, totally not a style blogger, has long been notorious for her inability to behave like a normal person in comment sections. Well she's back at it this weekend, getting into a foot stomping huff over people telling her the cooter flashers she posted on her blog might be a bit "too young" for her. When J stated that the age appropriateness is irrelevant because she is not "30+", readers decided to remind J of a little fact: her age. Telling J "I just found a post from July 2011 in which you turned 28, therefore you are...

“What I Wore” Gets A Real Job

Jessica Quirk, one of the first "style bloggers" to claim "full time blogger" status has evidently accepted that posting outfit pictures to your tumblr isn't really a "job". According to the Indiana University website, Messica has joined their faculty under the Apparel Merchandising department. Messi has yet to announce what she'll be doing, but if it's a teaching position I will never stop feeling embarrassed for IU. I wonder what happened to the days of insane ad prices, NYFW, sponsorships from Coach and Kate Spade, renting "studio space", and proudly bragging about doing WIW as her "full time job"? Oh...

Michelle Joni Continues Her Quest For Attention

Micholee Joni, white girls are totally allowed to wear afro wigs, evidently didn't get enough internet fame from being a white girl wearing afro wigs. Now she is going to get famous as a singer instead. I continue to be astounded by the lengths people will go to in order to be internet famous. How many stunts is this woman going to pull in pursuit of the almighty viral?

Hey Natalie Mean Still Opening Her Mouth

After some drama including an apparent breakup and later re-engagement, Hey Natalie Jean's little sister is finally walking down the aisle. Natalie has expressed some barely concealed hostility towards her sister's man in the past. Regardless, she and her Motherboy are obviously attending the wedding and she's obviously going to be instagramming away the boredom of not being the center of attention. Eyerollingly the family drama has already publicly reared itself in Natalie's first image - Motherboy on a pile of luggage. When one of her fangirls mentioned that Natalie was on her way to a wedding, sweet kind perpetual...

Even though Mal and I are super excited about this news, we didn’t even share it with our families until Thanksgiving. Yes, Tuna Helper is expecting her baby next June. Congratulations on the new content, Tuna!

“Dadcentric” Blog Shutting Down

"Daddy blog" Dadcentric announced today it will be shutting down after 8 years: This seems like a good place to end things here at DadCentric. The kids grow up, and so do the dads; the site's run its course, and if we've done anything to contribute to the growth of the Dad-Blog-O- Community-Sphere, well, that's a good thing. Founder and Managing Editor Jason Avant offered no further details but thanked Dadcentric's readers and contributors before saying maybe they would "get some of the band back together for other things". The news comes just months after Avant announced his separation from...

MWOP To Close Comments

MWOP, the site dedicated to documenting the antics of Jennifer "These Pills Help Autism" McKinney, has decided to follow in the steps of many other sites and close their comments. Beginning with the new year, MWOP will transition from an interactive site to an information site. The commenting feature will be turned off and posts will no longer be published on a regular basis, but rather on an as-needed basis. While some community members seem distraught at the news - saying "Mckmama wins again" - others seem resigned to the decision: Honestly, this has been a long time coming. Perhaps...

“The Feminist Breeder” Banned From Facebook Again

The Feminist Breeder, a strong black woman, is having yet another emotional uproar. It seems she posted a picture of her topless daughter to Facebook, and the image was removed. In typical mature Gina fashion, she responded by reposting the image, along with a caption calling employees at Facebook "a bunch of perverts". Not so shockingly, Facebook responded by once again removing the image, and then blocked her for 30 days. I just... ugh. facebook so hard. And every pervert who reported that picture. I hope you rot in hole. Yes, instead of just posting about this on her own...

Dooce Returns From Haiti With A New Perspective

Dooce, awareness raiser, has returned from her trip to Haiti. Did she post a long, moving piece detailing what she saw, how it changed her view of her own privilege, and discussing ways to help the mothers of Haiti? Did she mention the goals and programs of Every Mother Counts, the group that took her to the island? Did she provide ways to donate to the cause or talk about various ways her readers could help? Of course not. Readers instead got a post sponsored by a cruise line about her desert vacation with Noseride back in October. In addition...
