It's been a while since we checked in on More Than Mary, the (I guess) lifestyle blog of Mary Rambin. I'm constantly on the fence about ole Mare Mare Beach Hair; she's rather harmless and not on par with a lot of the offensive deebags we discuss here...but once in a while she will post something that makes me go "what the huh?" For example, her recent review of a restaurant called "Red Medicine": The contemporary and casual Hollywood eatery that’s been open for a year is a chic hot spot where the food is better than the clientele. It’s...

Well, tumblr recently got $85 million. As usual Karp started spending that windfall. He already bought himself another toy, so it's time for Karp to take his girlfriend on yet another trip - this time, to Paris. They've been there three days, let's pretend for business reasons. Because I know hard working student Rachel's presence is required whenever Karp conducts tumblr business in foreign locales. But hey, if it's a vacation they probably saved up money for a year or so and flew coach and are staying in a reasonably priced hotel, right? Of course right! Tumblr investors: getting their...

I asked, you suggested. Here are some GOMIBLOG forum picks for SOMI. These aren't all the suggestions, obviously, and if you have more feel free to add them. So here a few from the thread: Healthy Living Blogs: Be Pretty Think Pretty, Meals and Moves, Rachel Wilkerson, Healthy Tipping Point Mommy Blogs: MODG, Here Be Hippogriffs, Amalah, Look at the Birds To see the full suggestion thread click here, and feel free to debate the selections in the comments.

Jessica Continues to brag about how awesome she does vacation dressing. Supposedly this getup, consisting of free clothes and a sweater that still smelled of days old campfire, garnered her a "handful of compliments" while she walked around town minding her business. Not everyone had a compliment for Messy Jessi. Reader Erin had some thoughts about her tacky "native american" looking shoulder sack: Please reconsider the use and wearing of “Native American” patterns such as the one on your bag. Although I know they’ve been popping up on the runway quite a bit, the patterns are loaded with negative historical...

Gala Darling, look at her new Betsey Johnson stuff, got her "boot camp" started up Wednesday. For just $100 you can receive awesome advice like this: Create Disneyland in your heart every day... You can morph the mundane into the magical with only a small change of perspective. Make breakfast a luxurious event, send emails with a smile (the receiver can feel it!) & make an effort to welcome the beauty of life — which exists all around you — into reality. To be fair, the 100 bucks gets you access to her forums and some mp3s, so I can...

I....I....I...WHAT THE **** This was the only dress I packed for our nine days of vacation. I wore it for a fancy dinner out in Jackson Hole as well as for our Friday night out in Boulder.  I loved the personal style vibe in Colorado and especially in college towns like Ft. Collins and Boulder.  Everyone looks fresh and healthy, you don’t see a lot of makeup or done up hairdos and there’s an ease and casual nature to everyone’s clothes. But there’s still style. It’s sort of earthy and athletic and sometimes I felt a little Nirvana early 90s-ish. Can...

We have talked some trash about Cupcakes and Cashmere. And many of you aren't fans. But it's the middle of the night, I used my food money for a bottle wine, and I just want to say that I like what she's done here. Ok, the pose is a little "stop scrunching slouching pose wtf are you doing". Her face is a little "omg who me?" But I like the dress and how she styled it. I know, I know. But once in a while in the middle of GOMIBLOG I like to remind the blogosphere that I don't hate...

Following the likes of Matchbook, Brittany Abeijon and some other people have launched "The Facets Magazine", an online mag that urges you to "Embrace your diverse life". A once-over of their current issue shows it boasts such "diverse" things as a fall fashion guide, Halloween costume ideas, and tips for Thanksgiving dinner. What a refreshing change from the usual fall magazine fare, to be sure. There is also an entire page of "feedback" from readers that rivals the comment section of any popular blog, with such gushing praise as "Amazing first issue - LOVE it!!", and  typical trying-to-be-cute articles like "One...

A new site called "The Style Mentors" is gathering "personal style bloggers" together in order to make money by dressing people. Claiming they are "a group of popular and stylish lifestyle fashion blogger's who have teamed up to offer a unique online stylist service and are equipped to style you and your whole family" they are even inviting other bloggers to join in their quest for cash. Featuring the fashion icons "Jen Loves Kev", "Baby Blackbird", and "Dear Baby", the site is currently charging women $65 to recommend one outfit and $150 for a "wardrobe overhaul". Your personal lookbook will...

In the world of blogging there are many ways to fame. One is having content people want to read and providing that content on a consistent basis, slowly building a readership and community. Another is by pursuing other endeavors (freelance writing is a common option) to get your name out there and get people to your site. Most bloggers nowdays take a third option: sucking up to already popular bloggers. Blog climbing can be done in various ways - some as simple as commenting on popular blogs and making sure to add your blog link in the comment, or tweetstalking...

Casey, of the Casey Culture blog, has frequently been suggested as a GOMIBLOG subject. I check her blog from time to time hoping she will do something post-worthy. She never does. She's just your average bland NYC blonde trying to seem worldly and interesting; sort of  "Oh, OK *eyeroll*" worthy, but not particularly offensive. I checked in today to see this picture, evidently snapped at some wedding she attended. Now, I'm not saying she's ugly at other times, just rather uninspiring. So may I just say whatever lighting, angle, and makeup she's using in this image needs to be used every single...

Jessica Quirk, yeah her again, recently returned from an exotic vacation in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, who knows where else. First order of business: another sponsored post for JC Penney. I chose the Sample Gates on the West side of campus as my hometown landmark.  And with my alma mater and a crisp fall morning in mind, I wanted to go with a vintage collage student look.  Also, I have a new backpack. (I’m obsessed!!!) Her sponsor must be so proud. I'm not sure what a "vintage collage student" is, but it sounds pretty important and smart. Then she reminded us...

Kath Eats Real Food, so famous she needs a "killer security system" in her home, was the talk of the Orange High reunion. Old friends she never speaks to anymore happily gathered around her lily pad to worship the frog princess and talk about...her blog and her pre-celebrity days: Tiffany is also a good friend from high school and an avid KERF reader – we had fun discussing blogging in a "I knew you when you were little" context : ) Like most southern gatherings there was a ton of food: There was a buffet of BBQ and sides, but...

Jordan Reid, due to pop any second, is headed to the country to look at houses. She and Kenny have been looking at houses for some time, but I guess with little Henry Hudson Valley Tiara on the way within days they are really stepping up the hunt. I'm just surprised she's not worried about being so far from the city when she's supposed to give birth any moment now. But hey, if they can afford to buy a house good for them. Her blog must be super lucrative.

Scott Schumann, the guy who does some blog with pictures of people in clothes, is not the most loved man around. Especially not after The Talks posted an interview in which ole Scotty rhapsed bortchy about teenage bloggers, and Tavi in particular: Well I don’t think her audience is that big. I think her success is a little bit of a conspiracy by established print media that wanted to show that this blog thing is not that important, that it’s done by a bunch of twelve year olds. But a lot of us are serious grown-ups. This week Scotty appears...

The tumblr staff, professional, continues its fine record of customer service and professional email responses. You may remember the Awesome Poundcake Scandal from about a year ago. Like an internet hydra the story just won't die, and continues to get comments such as this gem from "Gino": I emailed them 16(!) weeks ago, today they replied. All I wanted to know was one of the complicated markups for their custom HTML coding, and this was only after hours of browsing. They replied: 'Sorry bro, not our problem. Try looking up the docs?' Seriously? Worst Customer Service EVER Surely no one...

Love Live Lace, needs friends, really really needs some friends - if only so someone will ask her what she thinks she is doing cavorting about in the woods in getups like this. I don't even post about her anymore because she just seems sort of sad and lonely. But I think this outfit requires discussion. What...IS this? Did she just jump into a Goodwill bin and walk off wearing whatever she came out with? Is it laundry day? Did a pack of brain damaged woodland birdies help her dress? She can't be so bored out in the forest without...

In a fashion blogging world full of thin rich teenagers and "care of" overload, Girl With Curves is a newcomer. Though she only started her site in February she's already been to New York Fashion Week. She also manages to be helpful and polite to her commenters and readers. Tanesha was nice enough to answer some questions for GOMIBLOG about the site, her style, and what being a style blogger means to her. 1. Why did you start Girl With Curves? I needed a creative outlet outside of my full time job in the technology field, so my hubby suggested...

Jordan Reid, giving birth any second now, put her non-one eyed dog into a pair of pajamas for a reason I personally can't figure out: Oh, Come On…He Loves It Everybody likes getting new clothes for fall. (I think the tuft of chest hair is my favorite part.) Yes, Virgil looks delighted to be put in "making dogs into people" costumes. Explain to me the purpose of that? She's Crapting out little Henry Shakes Forkburn any day now. Can't she wait and put the coo-inducing outfits on her baby, like mother nature intended? Whatever. I'm sure I'm the only person...

David Karp, Chief Executive Email Ignorer of tumblr, is famous for his post-funding spending sprees. Withing weeks of every round of funding tumblr squeezes out of investors Karp treats himself to several "check me out I'm rich" gifts. From taking his girlfriend to Asia to an apartment full of new furniture, from a pretty little Vespa to toys for his Vespa, from a "dream camera" to a new "off the grid" apartment in the West Village, Karp enjoys pissing away money on himself as fast as the VC's can hand it to him. After tumblr's latest round of funding Karp apparently thought...
