Mothers Day
This Mothers Day I am reminded of The Mommy Exchange I outlined last year. It’s a really great system, now more than ever. I think of my commenters here as my babies, even if you’re older than me. You’ve all given me … Continue reading
Attention Wordists
Reading the little profiles of people on tumblr, I noticed that a few people described themselves as eccentric. Like, ‘eccentric 19 year old art student loves cats, drawing, photography cupcakes and random cartoons.’ My feeling is, you don’t describe yourself as eccentric. That’s … Continue reading

Debbie Schlussel: Cunt of the Week!™
This choice is a no-brainer but that doesn’t mean it’s not deserved. Debbie Schlussel is an offensive lunatic whose existence was not on my radar until now. Here I thought that Mrs. Palin was the stupidest, most reprehensible woman in … Continue reading
The White Shirtdress
This Viktor & Rolf shirtdress is a total fiasco. On the other hand, I like how it manages to evoke both a nurse AND a mental patient. The perfect accessory: a thermometer. $1,125 at Shopbop. What fashionese gibberish would you … Continue reading
