Brit Morin, brilliant idea haver, has another brilliant idea. She's now recommending Brit readers use TaskRabbit, in which her husband has been an investor, to hire vassals for all those menial tasks you have piling up. Gushing that "you can bet that the service will continue to expand across America and maybe even globally over the coming years", Brit claims TaskRabbit is one of her "favorite outsourcing services". I'm sure that's a totally unbiased opinion. Supposedly the reason for the spousal startup pimping is to encourage people to hire someone to stand in line for the new iPhone. That's right, you...

From the Pinterest of A Cup Of Jo:  

Annie, a "really petite" blogger, is getting some side eye in the petite style blogging world. It seems Annie concocted a story around her outfit - a story some had heard before. An outfit posted by "Extra Petite" blogger Jean on September 9 featured a jacket that, according to Jean, her mom bought for her "five years ago from the Banana Republic outlet".  Well yesterday Annie posted an outfit to her Instagram, and when asked where she got the coat, claimed:   Unfortunately there was a public internet trail showing Annie actually bought the coat on ebay. When people began to call her out on her...

Katie Allison Granju, the constantly weeping eyes behind Mamapundit, is claiming a recent submission to PostSecret may be about her. On her facebook page she states: FYI, for anyone who has seen it, the "Henry" postcard at PostSecret.com today IS NOT FROM ME. It looks likely that some very cruel, disturbed person posted that to try to make it look like I abuse drugs myself. They even mentioned my birthday, which is indeed this week. I feel literally sick over it. Who DOES something like that? In response to a commenter saying they "had a feeling it might have been...

Raven, thinks "democrat" is a curse word, apparently has some very strong ideas about fashion. Then, there are people like me. Who dress for men. Who dress for the opposite sex. Who knows that men despise red lipstick and they love a nude lip. Who knows that men see maxi dresses as "mumus." Who knows that men HATE that stupid topknot thingy and yes, when they see you with one of those bubble necklaces? All they think is nasty sexual anal bead thoughts. I dress for men. Why? Because I am a woman. And I don't think it's "beneath me"...

Rumors have been trickling in during Fashion Week that Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere is baking a little uterus cupcake. I haven't really noticed any tummy pop, but maybe that's because the last few outfit images of her don't really provide a clear view of any possible fupa. Then again, she did just get married. Maybe she's just grown herself a little wife waist since last Fashion Week? I hope the stories aren't true, if only because I don't want to live in a world where Emily Cupcakes becomes even more cliche and boring by doing the usual blogger get...

Those following the Doocevorce have some new Sad Jon fodder to parse and puzzle over. Shortly after Dooce instagrammed that a relaxing moment with a beer was "Missing only one ingredient for total perfection" and began posting love songs, Mr. Dooce crafted one of his trademark "14 year old girl on facebook makes you guess the meaning" posts: (more…)

Cary Randolph Fuller, the WASPiest woman to ever live, continues her self-transformation from midwestern podunk sk8t3r girl in Brooklyn to Hamptons hitting, polo match attending, Manhattan socialite. It's a long road from drinking beer in a flannel shirt to perfecting your disordered eating at the Ralph Lauren offices, but that's still not enough to get Scary Mandolph the Kennedy Jefferson Wittenbach Mr. Big whatever man who will marry her and confer on her the legitimate WASP status she droolingly craves. There is a final step: making the rounds in magazines as one of NYC's "bachelorettes". That's right: Cary "my parents were socialites...

Rich Tong, former fashion something at tumblr, is apparently now the "founder of Fohr Card". On his tumblr he has invited fashion bloggers to request participation rights in his latest venture: Fohr Card - for those of you with fashion blogs who’d like to test out what i’m working on, shoot me an email: rich@fohrcard.com The Fohr Card site offers no insight into what exactly this new project is, but theories include a "bloglovin" type site, an "about.me" type site, or a "pinterest" for fashion bloggers. Whatever it is, I'm sure he hopes to do a better job with this...

CecilyK, like so many mommy bloggers, has a column over at Babble.com. And like most bloggers she posts teasers and a link to her columns whenever they are posted. Apparently some of her readers are getting tired of her "bait and switch game", and decided to say so: "Cecily, I really enjoy your writing and your point of view, but I seriously hate being forced to click over to another website. If I wanted to go to that website, I would just go there...this is a game that I don’t want to play..." "so, first I have to click over...

Bri Emery, of some Designlovefest blog, announced last week that she would be having her "biggest giveaway yet". The items, totalling over $2,400 dollars, would include "one free spot to blogshop – you can redeem your golden ticket in the city of your choice", a copy of Photoshop, and a bunch of the usual random blogger giveaway stuff - a book, a scarf, a backpack, a gold iPhone case. Bri told her readers: we’ll be choosing one random winner on tuesday, august 28th at 10am PST. make sure you leave a way I can reach ya if you win! Unfortunately when Bri announced the...

Gala Darling, blogging expert and plastic hair wearer, is not new to the game of 'give me money and I will fill your head with a bunch of crap'. She's even still peddling her "radical self-love" podcasts for $12 bucks a pop to legions of poor women who think wearing pink glitter will fix their lives. Well now it seems Gala Darling has rounded up her two BFF's to present the world with The Blogcademy, a weekend seminar that will teach you "...blogging essentials, like finding inspiration and picking the right topics for your blog, how to discover your own voice and showcase your personality...leveraging social media,...

Sanctomommies are pulling out their opinions in preparation for the greatest internet debate since whatever the last debate was about. It seems Rebecca Eckler is "ditching" her 10 week old son for six days in order to "lie around, read, visit the spa, and eat a lot of guacamole". Rebecca, from the heights of her superiority, huffs "I really don’t understand women who can’t or won’t leave their babies behind for a night, if they have trustworthy help". And just to make sure we know she's not leaving the baby with a bowl of water and a newspaper while shouting...

Elena, Art of Raising The Most Difficult Baby Ever, has had a terrible few months. Apparently she thought babies would sleep for 2 hours stretches when put down, and she would be able to do what she wanted until she felt like interacting with her meatloaf again. WRONG: I went from a 24 hour day where I could work and do things I wanted virtually at any time of the day and night to 3 naps a day that lasted anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes...needless to say, I’ve had very very frustrating days in the beginning. I have to...

Heather Armstrong, expert on bullying, is apparently up on the PanelPicker, where people go to vote on speakers or panels they would prefer to see at SXSW. The panel she is listed to share with another woman? "Dumb, Lonely & Fat: Dealing w/Internet Criticism". The description claims: (more…)

Miss James, the lowercase writing/homeschooling/hipster urban farmer wannabe running Bleubird Vintage, is expecting her 4th child soon. Even though she already has 3 kids she obviously needs to buy all new things for this one because baby shopping and nursery decorating can be spun into endless blog posts. But it seems she's having some trouble finding appropriately twee getups for soon-to-be son: ...i found that most of the baby boy stuff out there wasn't very cute. i was underwhelmed by my options and truth be told, i am not a huge fan of most vintage clothes and things for baby...

Jenna Cole, mother of Bathroom Baby, is finally done with college. Now that she's smarter than poor people, she  has a little announcement to make: To my Father-In-Law: Your first grandchild wasn’t born to a college-educated mother, but your second grandchild will be. Yes, Jenna finally confirmed what GOMIBLOG speculated back in June - she's carrying baby number 2.  Let's all hope their new place has large bathrooms.

Brit Morin is using her millions to share her brilliantly creative ideas with the world on her "content platform", Brit & Co. One of the recent great ideas? Store personal identification documents on your phone: Driver’s License: This is an obvious one. Always keep a shot of your license so you can prove yourself! But really, this is super handy for filling out forms and if you forget your ID at a bar. Passport: Always good to have a backup of this, and also helpful for having your passport number and expiration date on hand when booking future travel. Though she...

Jessica Quirk, of What I Wore and Park Slope fame, is apparently exhausted from her full time job posting pictures of her outfits. She announced today that she will be slowing down her blog for rest of the summer: Hey everyone! How are ya doing?! Hope your weekend was great and this Monday is off to a great start. I’ve actually been feeling really burnt out lately. I’ve hinted to this on twitter in the past week and have so many drafted posts about the subject, but I’m just not ready to go into yet. In short, I’m going to...

Sweetney, of Sweetney fame, is so famous that apparently famous people know who she is. And of course bloggers can't just be recognized and not tell everyone, so Tracey had to instagram and post about the moment a famous person at a blogger party knew her name: It so happens that Sam Bee also writes a column for Babble, but I’d never met her until that night. When — after one or maybe nine(ty)(-ish) drinks — I’d finally summoned the courage to approach her, she turned toward me, extended her hand, and with a giant smile said, “Tracey?” Evidently meeting some person who has...
