Mary Rambin Presents the Airport of the Future

In Mary Rambin's future we will all be women laughing with salad. Mary Rambin clearly doesn't care for bad standup comedians, as she wants to remove the one reliable joke they've ever had. Today on her More than Mary blog Rambin decided to take on airline food: When we go to their airport, we walk down an aisle of fast food and are forced to choose between the lesser of many evils – processed snacks, frozen and then fried meals, food infused with preservatives, sterilized or canned veggies, over-sized desserts, and candy bars galore. Or you can just bring food...

Project Babies Surrenders Her Vote To Christ

Kristin Timmerman, that blogger over at Project Babies, recently decided to share some of her her political decisions on her personal facebook: No more hesitation. Christ was not ashamed of me while He hung on the cross and died…why should I be ashamed of Him today?Matthew Timmerman and I voted YES to the amendment today. Not because we hate homosexuals, not because we are ignorant rednecks, and not because we didn’t “educate ourselves” on the amendment. When the voting screen asked me if marriage is between one man and one woman, my heart and head both cried out YES! Our Christian...

Baby Making Machine Will Help You Convince Your Man

The author of the blog Baby Making Machine wants another child. Apparently, her husband hasn't come all the way around to the idea. Her solution? Convince him! She has started a series called "Persuading my husband to have a baby in 30 days or less" and will be sharing her tactics of persuasion with all you ladies out there who also want your man to agree to a child: I've already missed the threshold for two toddlers, but I won't miss it for a toddler and infant. Not if I can help it, and Lord willing... I'm married to a...

Brit & Co. Want You To Wear Duct Tape

Jesus Christ. You may recall that Brit Morin recently got $1.25 million dollars in seed money for her "lifestyle" whatever, Brit.co. And what types of brilliant DIY's inspire people to give you over a mil in funding? Duct tape on shirt collars. Last, but not least, our old friend duct tape. This one is super easy and is more of a temporary jazz-up to any button down you have. Snip off 2-3 inches of tape, center it over the point of your collar. Fold on each side, and you're done! It's kind of ridiculous how simple this one is. A...

Katie Granju Will Not Be Attending Race For “Henry’s Fund”

Mommy blogger Katie Granju, of mamapundit, has practically based a career on the unfortunate and untimely death of her son Henry. She has managed to use that tragedy to some good, starting "Henry's Fund to bring awareness to drug addiction. There is even a race scheduled this weekend, May 5, which will benefit Henry's Fund. Unfortunately mom Katie won't be attending the race. Because she's still reeling from the recent anniversary of Henry's death? Perhaps, but that's not the reason she has given. It's because Katie will be busy at the Versace Mansion in Florida, attending the Mom 2.0 Summit....

Brit Morin Gets $1.25 Million In Seed Money

Brit Morin, our fave DIY/lifestyle...something, just got a pot of startup money. According to TechCrunch: Brit Morin, the Martha Stewart of tech, is today announcing a $1.25 million seed round for her technology and content company Brit. You read right, hams. Brit, who rebranded her website because she's "obsessed with Tiffany & Co." is now a "founder" and "entrepreneur".  She's also launching some app called "Weduary", which apparently makes it even easier for brides turn their weddings into a social media bonanza. Because what the internet needs is more brides posting all over creation about their "day". Yeah. BRB, calling in...

Heather Armstrong Strongarms GOMI

Before anyone asks where the Post Of A Million Outrages went, it has been removed. As she promised, Dooce has had a lawyer send a letter to me and my hosting company threatening litigation over the rumors of her filming a YouTube show in LA. I was made to feel threatened by the next to last paragraph, which in my opinion implied that I could just make this all go away if I would reveal my source: Since I refuse to do this without the permission of my tipster or a court order, I have removed the disputed post. The...

De-stressing, Carrots ‘n’ Cake Style

Tina of Carrots 'n' Cake has been struggling with colitis for a while now. Those of us who were concerned that her recent cruise to Mexico would be ruined by her intestines can rest easy. Despite drinking a ton and eating like crap, Tina's bowels were completely silent during her whole trip! It turns out the doctor was right: stress does contribute to her flareups. Who knew? Now that Tina has decided her life of drinking iced coffee, going to CrossFit, watching Ellen, and hanging out with her pug, is far too stressful she has reached out to her readers...

Messica’s Maternity Dress Confuses Readers

Jessica Quirk, married, is sparking baby speculation once again. Her post from last Wednesday (how often does she blog anymore?) features Messica in a typical black maxi dress from Target. Unremarkable, except her readers are buzzing that the dress is a maternity dress. Apparently the dress is a Liz Lange maternity dress from Target. Why would Messica wear a maternity dress unless she is pregnant? Is this a thing now, wearing maternity clothes for no reason? I get that they are comfortable and all but considering how size tag conscious she has been in the past you would think she wouldn't want...

HelloBrit.com Is Now A For Real & Co.

Brit Morin, the 2012 GOMIBLOG Award winner in the DIY Bloggers category, has decided to take her "business" into full Unicorn Club mode. No longer wagon hitching on the "holeosomething" trend, she has now upgraded to the more important sounding "Brit & Co." And what amazingly professional reasons does she give for the change? a) We are a growing team here, and though the company is indeed led by Brit herself, the "& Co." is much more reflective of the growing pod of awesome contributors on staff. See a few photos of our contributing team above. (Psst, want to be...

Delightfully Tacky Will Change Her Mind

Delightfully Tacky, looking more "Alanis Morissette The So-Called Chaos Years" every day, posted back on the 11th about selecting some crazy summer lipstick shades. She highlighted several lipsticks from that Lime Crime company but then ended her post with a weird disclaimer: *I wasn't planning on buying from LimeCrime (I'd much rather be able to try on shades before purchasing), but after reading some interesting reviews of LimeCrime, I definitely am sketched out and don't feel comfortable endorsing their line.  Do your own research to find out if you feel comfortable buying from them!* Cut to 8 days later and she's tweeting about the...

Gala Darling Proves That Blogging Is Hard

Gala Darling, happiness expert and GOMIBLOG Awards nominee in the Lifestyle Blogging category, has claimed she makes upwards of 100,000 dollars a year from her blog. She's so famous and busy she even has a personal photographer/intern. So if her blog is her business and income, why is she recycling posts? For instance, back in August, she posted a link for "The Ultimate Guide To Making Your Period Suck Less!" to her tumblr: Then last week, it appears on her blog again, conveniently redated to appear new: Is this what "professional blogging" is about now? Just recyclying your old content over...

“Healthy Slice of Life” Will Show You How To Live On Food Stamps

Brittany, runs the blog "A Healthy Slice of Life", has decided to prove the poors wrong. She is going to feed her family on 400 bucks a month, just to show that food stampers can eat healthy if they really really want to: I’m not going to get all political, but to sum things up, I feel that government programs are wonderful when they are helping people who have come across hard times and need some assistance getting back up on their feet. However, I feel that too many people depend on them heavily as a way of life, not...

Jennifer Perillo Knows All About Irony

In case some our GOMIBLOG Award nominees are complete mysteries, we will make sure to give you a bit of background about them over the next couple of weeks. Some of  you may remember Jennifer Perillo - aka Sexy Widow Boots. She was the woman accused of improperly receiving donations back in October - the scandal that brought some fantastic back pedaling from another GOMIBLOG Awards nominee, Gluten Free Girl. Well, the whole thing was swept neatly under the rug by all involved, Widow Boots never really faced any consequences for what amounted to allegedly swindling people (evidently she remains as...
