Julia Allison, soon to be forgotten, is once again threatening to take an internet hiatus. This post has been a long time coming, and I think it will surprise no one to hear that I’m taking a leave from lifecasting.  How long will I be gone?  Perhaps only a few weeks.  Maybe a few months.  And yes, there is the possibility (however implausible) that I’ll never lifecast again.  I love the solidity of closing the door to the past, of ending this life chapter with a definitive thud, all “Well, that’s THAT!” Yeah it goes on and on, whatever. Hasn't...

Jordan Reid, will shill for anything, will shill for anything. She will even shill about a brand of rum while 7 months pregnant! There’s nothing quite like a rum cocktail to make it feel like summer. Alas, this particular summer isn’t especially rum-soaked for me, but there’s always…rum cake? That’s good, too. My favorite rum-inclusive beverage is one that I discovered in the Caribbean: to make a Cayman Islands Rum Punch, just mix together 1 oz premium dark rum, 3 oz orange juice, 1 oz pineapple juice, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a splash of grenadine for color (let the grenadine float...

Meghan McCain, writer, pundit, person with self-confidence, is finally speaking out about your perceptions of her: I can't believe after all the time, and columns and tattoos....there are still some morons out there thinking I'm gonna change or want to about 5 hours ago via web plenty of women in politics out there repressing their personality and sexuality, just could never bring myself to do that, not starting now about 5 hours ago via web I'm glad Megatits is finally bringing this up. I've been wondering what she thinks about the judgments people make about her body and looks, being...

Jessica Quirk, trying to be a granny, is now dressing like one. She spent the weekend making herself these red leisure pants, quite the fetching statement at the retirement village scrabble game. While her grandchildren were very proud that Meemaw is finally back to making her own clothes, they wondered why she felt the need to remind them that she is, in fact, skinny: One side note - pattern sizes are drastically different from store sizes. Always make sure to read the measurements before you cut your pattern. I’m a 12 in patterns/4 in store pants. I guess she was...

Remember when Mary Rambin went in search of a new c0dz3r to make her a new tumblr template? I can't imagine why despite being unemployed she never did break my door down begging me to create the ultimate stylesheet. Well I guess her new hired monkey is shifting her over to wordpress, and Mary finds it all too confusing: New programmer has me trying out wordpress. I feel like I’m cheating on David. D - tell me we can do the same stuff on tumblr.  I don’t wanna leave. Jesus Mary, it's wordpress, not Oracle sql or ROR. It's a...

Sarah Lacy, possessor of undeniable charm and tact, has posted yet another well researched screed to the crappiest tech blog out there. Is it about moving the homeless out of her neighborhood? Slow service that only seems to happen at ethnic restaurants? Smelly people on planes? Nope! It's Sarah Lacy telling you people to stop complaining about this fictional recession! With the news this week that the recession officially ended in June 2009, there’s a ton of commentary about how it still feels like we’re in recession. But from where I sit, it never felt much like a recession at...

After her idol Julia Allison posted a series of self-pitying entries, ole Allison there obviously had to do the same: “ I’m not in love, because I’m a mess. — American Idiot (Green Day), which basically summarizes myself right now. God these women need JOBS.

Kath Younger, old money Southern belle, recently attended a Let's Move event hosted at the White House. Knowing you should bring your sartorial A-game when meeting the FLOTUS, she chose a timeless look that represented all that is great about this capitalist society we call Murrica. image credit: grocery store lady KERF rocked what appears to be a vintage Mary Kay sales leader jacket and top from their 2011 line. She paired the gorgeous belted jacket, which accentuated her ballerina waist perfectly, with a dark skirt and simple jewelry. Her hair was worn down in unfussy runner's waves. All in...
