I’m not the biggest fan of New Years parties. I like to use the changing of the year as an opportunity to reflect on the past year, what I am happy about, and what I wish would be better. I do make New Years resolutions and I like that they help keep me on track […]
United Bamboo has, according to The Telegraph, come out with a calendar of cats modeling their clothes. I didn’t see anything on the United Bamboo site that I had to have. Honestly, the bags are probably the only items I’d used if I got comps in the mail. But I can’t help appreciating the viral […]
My freezer is approximately half full of frozen tentacles. To put this in perspective, I have a really huge freezer. I like to make homemade frozen dinners and generally have around thirty to fifty of them in there at any given time. Plus ice, the occasional pizza, and all the usual freezer items. And I […]
A couple nights ago, I made cupcakes, for the first time since I was a kid. I learned that (a) there is a reason to have those little paper cups in there, (b) a popover pan is actually not as analgous to a cupcake pan as the uninitiated (i.e. me) might guess, and (c) there […]
Over at Albertine and Odette, my good friend (and Blue Blood hottie) posted some new accessories for men from Givenchy. She threw a fabulous Recession Potluck and Govinda Coloring Party this weekend. Nobody throws an event like she does. So, if I know anyone who will have the gents getting decked out in gimp couture, […]
I have to admit that I prefer my science fiction a little grittier and a lot better acted and directed than network television can generally offer. So I don’t usually get my fix from ABC or SyFy. As a Wesleyan alum, I wanted to like Serenity, but I thought the captain character was just way […]
Have you found your Halloween costume yet? Because I think I found mine! I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I’ve always been a fan of the unfortunately late fashion rebel Alexander McQueen and along with our friends (Blue Blood contributors, models, et al.) over at Haute Macabre, I’m happy to see his stylish […]
There are some pretty odd free pumpkin carving templates over at Pink Ray Gun this fall. I like carving pumpkins. I really like pumpkin carving parties. And I’m pretty partial to producing photo shoots of naked gothic girls rubbing pumpkin guts on their parts. But I don’t totally get pumpkin carving templates. If I am […]
Carrie Carolin at Goth Shopaholic just went through the Sur La Table site and selected all the best Halloween cupcake accessories. I would not have even guess that Sur La Table would have spooky kitchenware, but they do. So I’m learning how to make a health food version of Rice Krispies Treats this week. This […]
The usually more loquacious Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing posted this image of a banana shoe earlier today under the title “Just look at this awesome banana shoe.” The article read, “Just look at it.” The banana shoes are the creation of Israeli designer Kobi Levi. I’d like to tell you all that the years […]
