Man Repeller Gets Engaged, Readers Revolt

Leandra, of that Man Repeller fashion blog, has supposedly spent the last 18 months banking off her schtick as a style rebel who can't keep a guy because of her weird get ups. Finally on Wednesday she admitted she had been dating a man since summer 2010, and announced that she would now have a new "finger party" addition - Man Repeller code for getting engaged. She originally had some long, rambling post up about how it all happened, which she deleted and replaced with a shorter version. But as predicted in her original post, the anonymous meanies soon started...

Already Pretty Will Not Let The Sweater Go

Sally McGraw, changing her blog name to already smelly, must really be hurting for shopping money. She's attempting to save a sweater that stinks so badly even professional cleaners can't eliminate the stench: The sweater is a thrift fave, too, but it is on its last few wearings, I fear. I’ve mended several holes already and it is threatening to disintegrate any moment. Also, it seems that no dry cleaner or bottle of Febreze can eradicate its stink. I really do have to try that vodka remedy you’ve all recommended … especially if it can save this sweater from the...

Sarah Lacy Won’t Talk About Her New Project That Everyone Knows About

Sarah Lacy, unemployed, has been spending her maternity leave quitting her job and taking pictures of herself in the bathtub with her baby, while refusing to talk about what her new project will be: I am busy doing a lot of exciting things. The problem is, I can't really talk about them because I don't want to say what my next job is yet. Too bad it's already common knowledge that fellow windbag Michael Arrington is using money from his venture capital fund CrunchFund to create a "new tech news site". Yes that's right: Sarah's BFF sold TechCrunch and is...

That Wife Hates Santa

That Wife, of the Powerpoint Wives, refuses to acknowledge Santa in her house. Does it have something to do with being Mormon? Of course not. Is it because she enjoys refusing her son anything that smacks of childhood? No sir. She does it because she is an honest person!  It’s really important to me that my kids know when I tell them something, it’s what I really believe to be true. And there is no way to get around the fact that because I believe me telling my kid Santa is real is a lie, I thus think you are...

Rich Tong Finally Cleans Out His Desk At Tumblr

Rich Tong, one of the many unnecessary employees of tumblr, has finally formally confirmed GOMIBLOG's blind item: he is leaving tumblr. After a year of serving as Tumblr's Fashion Director, I am excited to announce that I'll be leaving to pursue other independent opportunities. The fashion community on Tumblr has grown tremendously in just a year, starting with only a handful of industry leaders and quickly expanding to over 200 of the world's most creative fashion publications, designers, brands, photographers, models and stylists.  Their presence has given way to the most incredible opportunities for this community's young, emerging talent, and...

KERF’s Hard Earned Money Not Going To Waste

Kath Younger™®©, person of no interest, spends her days working out, photographing oatmeal, and sending cease and desist letters while her husband works at their bakery. Yet she somehow managed to find time in her hectic schedule to spend the morning deciding how to spend all that money she makes on her super successful blog: I spent the morning researching lights for our dining room. We can’t decide between safe, classic, neutral or modern, funky, bold. What we do know is we would like a 16-24” drum shade pendant. You can't decide what kind of LAMP SHADE you want? Oh honey,...

Jenna Cole Will Monetize Your Hate

That Wife's Jenna Cole, attention whore, informed her facebook pals yesterday that she had a "doozy of a post going up" going up today about her kid's speech therapy or something. And why is she putting up this post, knowing people will give her crap about it? Cold hard cash, my friends. The stream goes on with Jenna basically admitting that at this point she puts up posts hoping GOMIBLOG will send her traffic, as "I've already made enough to buy a site redesign via Poodle AND keep that coat from BP I was planning to return. Monetizing the hate...

Jessica Quirk Closes Down Comments Again

Jessica Quirk, the brain trust behind that What I Wore blog, has yet again shut down her comments. She has turned them off at least once in the past, instituting a "Code of Comments" (basically you're only allowed to say nice things from now on thanks!) when she turned them back on. Now Messica has once again decided your comments aren't worth the trouble to moderate: Yes, Messica and her intern are just too busy with the super successful full time blog to sit around moderating your mean comments. From now on you should contact her through twitter or facebook!...

Modcloth Would Like You Ladies To Highlight Your Best Feature

Modcloth is well known for its wonderful product descriptions. It seems they're still producing creative copy; the product page for the No Bones About It tights features not only nearly visible genitalia, but comes with this almost sarcastic text: You don’t need X-ray goggles to appreciate the quirky style statement made by these skeleton tights - slip them on alongside bright clothes and accessories, and let your inner fashionista show! Yes ladies, slip into these tights, throw on some accessories, and let your cradle of life air out in style! Nothing like a little beaver fever to warm up the...

Internet Disappointed By That Wife’s Fridge

That Wife's Jenna Cole is best known as the woman who lets her husband lock up the cheese to help her lose weight. A long cherished dream for hatefans of That Wife came true last week, when they were promised a peek inside the notorious Cheese Locker. We combed the pics looking for a padlock, a  firebox, a package of Kraft singles fortified with 200 flex cuffs. Alas, though several pics were shared on the "Inside the Fridge" article, no evidence could be found of the cheese safe. So where is this mysterious place where Jenna's cheese is locked? The internets demands to...

Rich White Guy Wants You To Stop Whining About Working So Hard

Michael Arrington, the man responsible for trading a bag of money for TechCrunch, is a rich, white, middle aged man who enjoys tweeting at celebrities, protecting the earth, and fighting "evilness" on the intertubes. He is also an enormous blowhard who likes to tell people to shut up a lot. The current target for Mike's ire is all you whiney, unappreciative brats who are complaining about working: Suddenly everyone’s complaining about how unfair things are in Silicon Valley. How hard everyone has to work so darn hard, and how some people don’t get venture capital or a nice sale to Facebook...

Bloggers Without Borders Vaguely Blames The Widow

The Widow Donation Scandal that rocked the insular food blogging world continues to be a delicate subject for those involved. After Shauna Ahern of Gluten Free Girl basically put the blame on widow Jennifer Perillo, not much else was heard about the situation. Now BwoB has apparently responded privately to one commenter who had questions: Dear M, I am writing to you with regards to the comment you left on our most recent post, “A Fund for Jennie: The Final Update.” I hope you will understand our decision not to publish some comments. Recent developments have indeed been saddening, and...

Sarah Lacy Left TechCrunch And Nobody Cared

Sarah Lacy, of  "what recession?" fame, apparently follows Paul Carr and Michael Arrington out the door over at TechCrunch. Unsurprisingly, the only people who seem to care are TC commenters. In her personal contribution to the too long, passive aggressive departure post library formerly known as TechCrunch, Sarah basically says she's successful and important and doesn't need all this drama: I’ve bounced between a lot of jobs in the last few years– writing for BusinessWeek, hosting a show for Yahoo Finance, writing two books, and traveling the world to find great entrepreneurs– but TechCrunch was the first place in my career...

Victims Of Grooming Woes Share Horrific Tales Of Hair Drama

Life can be like, way harsh Tai. From imperfect lattes to summoning the strength to shop, the suffering of upper middle class white women never ceases. But thanks to the internet, they can now enjoy the support of a worldwide  "OMG I KNOW RIGHT?" chorus to ease them through their pain. This week a few of these poor souls have bravely come forward with the most painful of (I don't have any real) problems: their hair. Julie of Peanut Butter Fingers can't figure out how to dry her hair: While Jenna of Eat Live Run battled the tragedy of a trim: Casey...

Babies: The Easy Way To Internet Relevance

Ah, babies. The internets just loves babies. Bloggers, both by accident and design, are discovering that baby centered content equals a whole new target audience and can even resuscitate flagging pageviews. The popular Dooce blogger has allegedly made millions posting about her life, including stories and pictures of her children. Now even Dooce's daughter "actually runs out of the room when I break out a camera". But other bloggers continue to document the development and activities of their offspring from pee stick to puberty, and 2012 is shaping up to be The Year Of The Blog Baby. Caitlin of Healthy...

Bleubird Vintage Instagrams Her Way Down The Aisle

"Miss James", the twee behind the "Bleubird Vintage" blog, FINALLY had her wedding. She spent days burning up her twitter with Instagram photos like the one above (did they have their wedding at Jonestown?) and trying to make her #weddingweek hashtag trend. Apparently her kids got to take a week off from the intellectual boot camp known as Bleubird's Homeschooling in order to watch their mom drink beer and post pics of them. It's not really possible to tell anything about her dress other than there was something silver involved, but based on how many posts she got just from the wedding...

Meanwhile, Around Twitter

First we get an example of cookbook author Gluten Free Girl's baking methods: I'm not what you would call "a person who cooks", but I'm fairly certain that "it varies" and "stick in oven and keep checking until it seems done" makes for a pretty Crapty recipe. Shauna, there's a reason people mock you and your cookbooks, and this is why. Elsewhere Jessica Quirk, whose full-time What I Wore blog continues its slide into obscurity, posted this weirdly worded tweet: Obviously she could be saying she has had a bad period of time spanning the last 24 hours. Taking into account...

Tumblr Becoming The New Blog Platform Of Choice For Pedophiles

Tumblr, the hipster love child of twitter and livejournal, prides itself on freedom of speech and embracing all types of content. Now it seems they've attracted this wonderful gentleman: Hey, y'all.

Jessica Quirk Joins The “Bloggers With Interns” Crowd

Jessica Quirk, full time blogger, has joined the ranks of Julia Allison and Gala Darling by finding herself an intern. The oh-so-busy Messica introduced her new lackey today by letting her do a guest post: With Thanksgiving break just around the corner, I’ve invited my intern Sheri to write a guest post on what she’ll be wearing home for the holidays. Her intern, Sheri, comes on the scene after apparently working for Messica for the past month. Evidently she's a journo student at Indiana University and hails from Edina, Minnesota, so you know she's truly tapped in to the pulse...
