In the wake of Jessica Quirk's announcement that she will no longer be accepting "c/o" items, GOMIBLOG has received tips that more bloggers may be forced to join in the "NO C/O" movement. Jen Loves Kev had already decided to no longer accept sidebar ads, and now the blog What Would A Nerd Wear has announced she too will be turning down freebies from companies. Well supposedly we can look forward to similar announcements from more bloggers in the near future. The tipster claims this will be more of a face-saving act on the part of bloggers as companies have...

Brooke, has a dog named Sugar, has apparently been crying over her dog. Why, you ask? Because her son - who is "a rambunctious two years old, and he doesn’t know any better" - injured the poor thing: The other day, my son...hurt Sugar. He jumped off the stairs directly onto her back. She is a Shih-Tzu and a small dog...After he jumped on her, she crawled slowly until she found me in the laundry room. Her back hind leg was hurt bad, I could tell. She whimpered a little, but she didn’t whine loudly. Even though she didn’t cry out, I knew it...

Julia Allison, hater of publicity stunts, is implying your Vimeo accounts aren't safe! After a supposedly private video was shared on RBNS, Julia emailed moderators of the site accusing them of hacking into her Vimeo account to access the video: Subject: I don't know how you got either of those videos, because BOTH were password protected until (apparently) tonight – and now they’re password protected again, but if I ever – EVER – hear about you hacking into my private videos again, I swear to god I will get a lawyer and sue you. RBNS moderators deny the allegation, stating...

Shauna Ahern, joyful of belly, is off to see a Dear Friend for "a celebration". (more…)

Apparently a new instagram account appeared the other day. Its purpose seems to be providing sources to items featured by bloggers using the 'liketoknow.it' affiliate link system. The account is called 'whereubuyit' and bloggers are already pissed at this circumvention of their affiliate income. The two day old account already has 300 followers, and climbing. I don't see the account lasting too long because surely some litigious blogger or RStyle rep will have it shut down. I don't have much to add here but wanted to see what other people think of this. I'm not a fan of denying people...

J's Everyday Fashion, totally not a style blogger, has long been notorious for her inability to behave like a normal person in comment sections. Well she's back at it this weekend, getting into a foot stomping huff over people telling her the cooter flashers she posted on her blog might be a bit "too young" for her. When J stated that the age appropriateness is irrelevant because she is not "30+", readers decided to remind J of a little fact: her age. Telling J "I just found a post from July 2011 in which you turned 28, therefore you are...

All you actual writers who contemplated burning down the internet after Jordan Reid's first book deal, please hand over your matches - Shillshackle Sham already has a second book coming out in 2015.

Coming from Running Press in Spring 2015: book No. 2, Carrying On. (The manuscript goes in at the end of the summer.)
