Read it. Read all of it. Spread it around. SO fabulous.
Author girl, preach it.
This is cool: Fuck! i’m in my twenties
Fashion Icon: Clarissa Explains it All
The absolute, hands down fashion icon of 90s children’s programming, Clarissa Darling.
Rent the discs on Netflix, seriously. The show is oddly smart for children’s shows. That’s how awesome the 90s were. Le sigh.
And her CLOTHES. Inventive, crazy, fun.
Why don’t I have the DVDs of this show yet?!
Fashion: Kimmy Gibbler
A girl after my own heart.
Love: Zooey Deschanel and New Girl
Zooey Deschanel on a weekly basis. Finally! There’s only so much our She & Him discs can do for us to get our sweet Zooey D fix.
New Girl. I love her outfits, her unsure but sweet persona and her all-male, crazy roomies.
Schmidt, played by Max Greenfield, is awesome. He may be the best character on the show. You want to hate him, but it’s impossible. Who doesn’t know someone exactly like Schmidt? The slightly annoying yet good-intentioned guy, who for some reason thinks it’s cool to say things like “bromance,” show everyone his abs and be waaaaay to into his hair gel. The fact that he used to be chubby in college makes his ab talk and vanity excusable, because lets face it: Beautiful people from 0-60 are harder to love. Fact.
The only thing I dislike is the use of the word ‘Adorkable’ to describe the show and the truly angelic Zooey D. I can just see that word on back-to-school pencil cases and coming out of the mouths of people who are not adorkable, but really annoying. Bleg! She’s a cool miss, folks. That’s it!
Listen: St. Vincent
I don’t know when or why or how I began listening to St. Vincent, but a blessed moment it was. Annie Clark is St. Vincent, and if you haven’t met her quite yet, she is a fabulous and very talented woman.
Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, pretty gal.
I started with her second disc, Actor, which is phenomenal. “The Neighbors” and “The Strangers” are my all time favorite St. Vincent songs, and they come off this album. It’s worth a Pandora or Grooveshark stream, and definitely worth a purchase.
Check out St. Vincent albums here
Her first album is titled Marry Me, which was reported as being named after the Arrested Development story arc when Maeby becomes a movie producer, and uses the catch phrase ‘marry me’ with all the Hollywood execs. If that doesn’t win you over, then you sir are a mouthful.
Her latest album, Strange Mercy is an amazing, creative collection of songs ripe with guitar shreds and sweet tunes. My favorite songs on this album are “Northern Lights” and “Cruel”.
St. V, to my utmost jubilation, is going on tour!!! 2012 is shaping up to be tremendous already. I hope she’s coming to your city.

Forever Young: Ted Danson
Swoon. Ted Danson is one fiiiiiine wine.
Artiste: Louise van Terheijden
Louise van Terheijden is one of my newly discovered favorite favorite favorite artists. Her pieces have a subtle and beautiful personality that she describes as being “colorful, transparent and poetical.” She is from the Netherlands and creates all her pieces in her own studio.
I love all of her work. I asked for one print for Christmas, and my brother gave it to me. It is beautiful. Take a look at her Etsy page. Her personal website goes into more detail about her past work. It’s written in Dutch, but you can still navigate the page and take a nice stroll through her work. It’s worth the temporary language confusion.
If I had no economical restraint, I would buy all of her Etsy prints. Curse you, terrible economy! Pick up a Louise, so we can be art buddies.
Gross: Dane Cook
Dane Cook has finally resurfaced out of the probable dirty butthole he was living in. And oh hey! He performed a terrible set at the Laugh Factory in LA that was described by T.J. Miller as “vicious, misogynistic, cruel, and arrogant.”
GROSS.
First of all, anyone who likes Dane Cook needs to be in life rehab. That guy has never been funny. He’s like the marginally acceptable kid who clung on to the popular turds in high school, hoping to be a huge turd himself. Sadly, he never achieved turd status and had to settle in with the dingleberries.
Seriously, fuck any guy who thinks talking about women like this is funny. It’s just sad. Nobody thinks it’s cool when you “fuck whores” like a chainsaw. A) that’s bad form and B) GROSS. Sleeping around isn’t that cool, it’s kinda sad, man.
Trusted friend and future guest blogger Michael says “I feel like now he’s doing way too much coke to be funny.” Sounds about right!
FINAL WORD
Dane Cook, and any man who thinks or acts like this, listen up. Stop it. It’s not cool to be a total jerkface dingleberry. So cut the string and dingle your berry somewhere else.
Politik: South Carolina GOP Primary, it’s a party!
Here we go again. Another hilarious attempt at trying to be president. So cute. Here are the boyz at the South Carolina GOP primary debate.
None of these people will be prez. I don’t have much beef against Ron Paul, at least he’s not a carbon copy of every GOP candidate like, ever. However, the others are a delightful santorum sundae, no? Gingrich is a hypocrite, Mitt Romney probably doesn’t even know who Nicki Minaj is, let alone our beloved Lady Gaga. That dude is out of touch. And Santorum, well… just no.
Can’t Leslie Knope just run for President? If she cared about all of us the way she cares about Pawnee, we could be great again people. Plus, Ron Swanson would probably be Vice-President. OMFG. All the meat-loving, gun-toters will love the VP, and Knope will get some serious things done for the good of humanity. Only in our dreams. And maybe the future 10th season series finale.
I’m not even stressed out or worried about the upcoming election. I don’t think anyone is, really. The republican vs. democrat platform is cracking, slowly but surely. All the lies about their personal lives and getting caught soliciting gay sex in bathrooms while you’re married is just so, so sad. Be gay. It’s ok. It’s normal.
Dearest hardcore, old, angry republicans,
I wish you would just relax. You always seem really upset, about which I have no idea. First world problems are tough, I know. But you can get through this. Yo, just take a hot bath, figure out your life and ponder why you are sometimes meanies and hate people for weak reasons. Go to India or something. Thailand would work too. Let us know if pad thai tastes the same, ok? Send a postcard too.
