Internets Jessica Quirk Like a personal style comet, Jessica Quirk has basically come full circle. Not only has she gone back to her original hipster bob with bangs, she is now just repeating outfits: One of the reasons I’m a vintage lover is because when you’re neither here nor there you’re never in or out. Let me explain- I think it’s possible to stylishly pull off a vintage dress and not look out of style, because you’re not trying to be in. Case in point – I wore this dress in 2009 and felt like a million bucks and I feel equally awesome now in almost the exact same outfit. It’s true – she wore pretty much the exact same cheap looking brown accessories with this dress back in the good ole days of ’09. Her hair and closet aren’t the only things that have come full circle. Seems that even back then Messica had to fight against her natural inclination to half assing: I could easily stay in pajamas all day and put in no effort, but what’s the fun in that? Boyfriend brought over lunch so I got dolled up in this sweet 80s cream dress. Then we went to pick out a printer and run other errands. Luckily I dodged raindrops as I forgot my umbrella. A sweet outfit for a sweet day. I’m not sure what constitutes “effort” for Messica anymore, folks. I don’t think Messica ever knew. Tatiana, of Love Lice Face, is well known for being the Peter Pan of the internets. This weekend she took another trip down Idiot Lane to have a totally awesome fun time: Friday after work we headed to one of our favorite spots for happy hour – Anqi. We both had a whirlwind week and it was so nice to finally relax, unwind and talk. I assume this means she works, but who knows. To this one, making a picnic happen is “work”. Since she claims to need vacations every weekend, I’m not sure how this would be much different than every other week she claims to need time off, but whatever. Saturday we did something I’ve been dying to do – visit our local library! We got library cards and nestled into a quite spot with a stack of awesome books. It was so nice to be reminded of how interesting and fun kids books are! I learned innumerable facts about rabbits, elephants and koalas! Don’t worry I read “big people books” too… which reminds me I need to get back to “The Idiot.” She nestled into a “quite” spot and also read “big people books”. Sigh. After the library we did something else we’ve been meaning to do for a while, which is locate a great frozen custurd place. And we did! We both got the strawberry flavor. It was out of this world!! I’m not sure strawberry ice cream requires! exclamation! points! but I guess everything is super exciting when you’re 8 years old on the inside. There’s nothing quite like a romantic dinner in a dimly lit restaurant brimming with wonderful food to make you feel all hazy with happiness. We definitely reconnected with two of our big loves this weekend – books and food! And loved every minute of it! I’m sorry but when are these two NOT having “romantic” dinners, picnics, tea parties, walks? Everything she does with her husband is omgromantic and omgreconnected us. Do these two ever just argue about whose turn it is to do dishes or ignore each other and watch tv in separate rooms? Do they ever spend the weekend cleaning the house and drinking wine while watching a movie? I ask because these two are still basically newlyweds, and setting such a high standard would seem to me to be dangerous. What happens when her husband goes “Look I just want to sit here and watch the game, can you go find SOMETHING to do?” I know her blog is about OMG ROMANCE! LOVE! MARRIAGE! MY PERFECT LIFE! but nobody lives this way. It’s just unrealistic. But I’m just an unmarried cat lady, so I could be wrong.
Julia Allison, healthy person totally qualified to give you advice about things, wants to give you advice: It seems the entire internet is pregnant or giving birth the last 12 months. Since every pregnant woman who fancies herself important to the internet seems to think the planet is vastly fascinated in every pregnant thing they do, they have naturally taken to twitter to keep all of us updated. Jordan is finally noticing that she might need to make room for her spawn, and has begun nesting in earnest (even though she has about 6 months to take care of these things): pow-wowing with mom about how we’re going to fit an entire extra human being and the associated accoutrements into this apartment.4:02 PM Apr 9th via web picked this up 2 use 4 kitchen/baby storage (& as bath surface?):http://www.target.com/Sideboard-White/dp/B000LNHJU0/ref=sc_qi_detailbuttonabout 23 hours ago via web Sarah Lacy continues to not blog about her baby. I suppose it’s not technically blogging if it’s on twitter… my baby is telling me he/she wants one of the cadbury eggs in my purse, but my stomach knows it’s still full from lunch. #kidstoday5:36 PM Apr 6th via web working on a long sunday post, but this time NOT skipping prenatal yoga so i don’t get such a twitter lashing! 😉about 6 hours ago via web And the ever expanding Randi Zuckerberg, who somehow managed to get pregnant without Julia Allison crashing the moment, won’t let us forget that she will soon birth the spare heir to Facebook: I’m in love with the gorgeous cake at my baby shower yesterday! Thanks @elizabeth for your adorable owl design! http://t.co/ln4iu5n4:48 PM Mar 27th via Twitter for iPhone Feeling pretty darn thrilled about my final project before maternity leave 😉 http://on.fb.me/h48S4B12:22 PM Apr 5th via web Just sent hubby off on a “last-hurrah-before-baby” Vegas guys wknd. Either I’m a fantastic wife, or I just have really poor judgement 😉12:32 PM Apr 9th via web I don’t know about you but the internet is starting to turn into the reunion scene from Romy and Micholee for me. I just want to keep repeating this scene with every unnecessary update flung into cyberspace.
Scary Sadshaw and Mr. Cakes are finally moving in together. Engagement rumors are already swirling, with Vegas bookies saying most money is being bet on a ring going on that fat paw shortly before his deployment, and their acrimonious public breakup scheduled sometime around October. In other fascinating news the whole internet cares about, I have enough papa points for a free pizza, and my cats are shedding their winter coats. So this happened. It pretty much makes me want to throw in the towel on Messica, since all I seem to be doing is driving more traffic to her. Let’s parse it anyway: Quirk’s daily chic ensembles look like the latest trends on the runways or throwbacks to extravagant vintage designs. Jeans and army jackets: extravagant and vintage. In reality, the outfits are a combination of DIY, thrift finds and even pieces from more inexpensive stores like Target. In reality, most of the crap she wears is free from her sponsors or poorly constructed high school home ec sewing projects. “You don’t have to buy expensive things to look good,” Quirk said. “Everything I do is something I’ve conjured up. What looks expensive can end up being a $4 project.” Says the bortch wearing a free c/o $70 t-shirt. I hope Jessica’s agent got a bonus for this. Lesson learned? Kiss ass and delete negative comments. Following another hard day of posting lists of crap she’s bought, Love Lies Lace informs us that she like, way loves nail polish: My arsenal of spring nail polishes certainly puts a smile on my face. They are my go to colors, they go with everything and are so sweet each in their own way. They are from left to right: Russian Roulette, Punchy Pink, Chinchilly, and Need A Vacation (which is very true right now – thus I’m wearing it on my toes!). You need a vacation? FROM WHAT? Didn’t this special person just have a picnic (“Our weekend actually started a little early, Thursday to be exact, with a evening picnic.” *eyeroll*), a tea party, a weekend trip, and then a shopping spree? Seriously she does ONE POST A DAY (granted, so do I, but I have a full-time job ok?). Can someone please explain what this chick needs constant vacations from? :Begin Rant: Crapting endless streams of “Look how much money I spent on crap I don’t need! Look what hundreds of dollars of free Crap I got because I’m ME! Look at all the time I have because BEING ME is so much work I just can’t go get a job!” is what attracts sponsors and groups of fawning morons praising this lifestyle and asking how to emulate it. It’s disgusting, and I’m sorry if anyone thinks this type of uselessness is something to aspire to. And these assholes disgust me for encouraging people to aspire to such an empty, consumerist driven, all-about-me life. Blogs like this are the showers of the internet, and their participants are filling them up with rainbow vomit. Get off the internet, get jobs, and start contributing to the world – something more substantial than OHHHH LOOKIE AT ME SO PRETTY! All I’m saying is, if she needs so many vacations from her life, maybe she should get a different life.

I am so gd sick of these mincing princesses who act like posting to a blog and playing grabass is so omg stressful and tiring. I know, it’s not a competition of who can work the most and if you don’t have a real job then you’re a loser. But this Crap is insulting to those of us working full time and doing a dozen freelance gigs just to pay bills, or frantically job hunting.
