We are hearing rumors that there is a reason Tavi Gevinson, fashion blogging's current darling, has not been listed in the bloggers attending tumblr's NYFW field trip: Tavi has no need to attend NYFW on behalf of tumblr. She has more than enough invites and offers to pay for her participation without tumblr. Tavi's tumblr itself seems to be just a series of random picture posts. Her real blogging is still happening elsewhere. I guess we wait and see  if she decides to attend and blog on behalf of tumblr, or continue to pursue her own blog.

Today we are reading 'Two O'Clock on a Tuesday at Trevi Fountain: A Search for an Unconventional Life Abroad' by Helene Sula, aka HeleneInBetween. We've been discussing ole Helene around here for about 11 years (!) so I figured it was time to force myself through her book.

The Hyperbalist Alina Gonzalez, amazing, loves pugs. She loves pugs more than you love pugs, and she knows why pugs are amazedonks. Let her tell you why. (more…)

After basically abandoning her attempts to get her blog That's Quirky off the ground, Jessica Quirk has decided instead to begin transitioning her daily outfit blog into a lifestyle site.  In yesterday's post she announced the coming change: On a side note: If you’re only here for Daily Outfit posts, please save THIS LINK in your bookmarks. You’ll be seeing more food and lifestyle posts on What I Wore in 2014!  We've been saying for a while that she needs to fold What I Wore into her "That's Quirky" site and just have a lifestyle blog. Despite how much I hate rebranding,...

Cecily Kellogg, former addict slash drunk, and her 'poet' husband had to go through a sobriety checkpoint Friday evening. Rather than considering how many lives such checkpoints can save, Cecily posted the location on instagram (in case anyone wanted to avoid it) and then proceeded to complain on facebook about - prepare for a lulz attack - her privacy: Her husband Charlie joined in the affray by also complaining about the horrible experience: Charlie O'Hay 1 hr · Philadelphia, PA · Encountered a sobriety checkpoint on the way back from dinner. We had Tori and one of her friends along....

Dooce saying she was making some point that simply went over our less-than-valedictorian heads went over like a Vegan Lunchables at an East Texas barbecue. Nobody wants it, and nobody trusts it.

Haley, a photographer because since 2008 everyone is a photographer, is overweight. She has been using her weight as the basis of a photography series: ...I photograph myself in socially engaged spaces to examine how my body fits into society. I choose compositions within social sites: restaurants, stores, pools and other places of leisure. I attempt to juxtapose my place in the scene with issues that contribute to my weight gain. Basically she takes pictures of herself posing like sad Vader, because that will obviously help her "determine" her "place in society". Apparently that's no longer enough for Haley, because...

Naomi, of the family branding machine "Love, Taza", wants folks to remember that if you see an upper middle class white woman pushing a thousand dollar baby SUV, you should drop what you're doing, hold the door, and let them go first. Because whatever you are doing or wherever you need to be, it's simply not as important as being a mommy!
