Hilarious Blog Alert: WTForever21

Jessica WakemanDecember 18, 2010 //

The white leopard-print leggings? The furry pink vest? The sequined belt? Yup, every WTF item in my closet is from Forever 21. But the store’s so inexpensive, can you say no to a lime green bra and panties set covered in spikes?! (OK, I made that last one up. But they probably sell it.) The older I get, the more difficult it gets to justify shopping at a store that I’m sure outfitted many a Lady Gaga costume this past Halloween. That’s why I’m somewhat obsessed with the blog WTForever 21, which mercilessly mocks the store’s weirder offerings. Keep reading »

Two Ladies If By Sea

Yes, you are correct. Only ladies aboard this ship. Just one of many compelling images on my favorite blog of the day, F#@k Yeah, Gay Vintage. [F#@k Yeah, Gay Vintage] Keep reading »

Terrible Food Photographed Terribly

Julie GersteinNovember 9, 2010 //

Ever pick up an old cookbook and marvel at how unappetizing all the recipes are? Aspic? Cold cuts and canned fruit? Maraschino cherries and boiled hot dogs? The Flickr group “Gee, That Food Looks Terrible” aims to catalog some of the truly disgusting food from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Like this broiled ham and lima bean casserole, which has the pallid hue of a seasick sailor. Thanks, but we’ll pass. After the jump, three more delightfully unpleasant vintage recipe images.

Get Your Rocks Off With Passive Aggressive Panda

Ami AngelowiczSeptember 23, 2010 //

I’ve been having a little too much fun looking at the new blog, Passive Aggressive Panda. Remind you of anyone you know? Yeah, me too. Is it wrong to wish that I could take PA Panda with me to parties just so I could watch? Or maybe tell it what to say when I’m feeling pass-aggro? [Passive Aggressive Panda] Keep reading »

Money 101: 11 Personal Finance Reads To Change Your Life

Amelia TimbersSeptember 17, 2010 //

In finance, there’s a canon that everyone on Wall Street has read: Benjamin Graham, Adam Smith, and Robert Schiller. But no canon exists for personal finance. In fact, most personal finance books are a frustrating waste of time and money. From Suze Orman’s factually incorrect information to Jim Cramer’s super-caffeinated hysteria, it’s a sad field that puts consumers who take such advice, likely already vulnerable if seeking help, at risk. But, despite all the garbage, there are some stellar resources and I am going to direct you to them. Keep reading »

Pinups. Period.

Ami AngelowiczAugust 26, 2010 //

A new blog, Menstrual Pinups, features pictures of ’40s and ’50s-style pinups who are having a surprise visit from Aunt Flo to go with their “oopsie” expressions. You mean women in the olden days got their periods? Say what?! Not that there’s anything wrong with a little menstrual blood for a cheap laugh, but this blog just seems to be on the grosser side of funny. I have no desire to think about periods any more than I have to, which is plenty enough already. But maybe that’s just me. [Menstrual Pinups] Keep reading »

Ridiculous New Blog: Hungover Owls

Ami AngelowiczAugust 24, 2010 //

The new blog Hungover Owls is exactly the kind of pure silliness I live for. It features pictures of owls looking kind of busted, as if they’d had a wild night of boozing, and, as a bonus, we see their ridiculous morning-after thought bubble. Now that I think about it, owls always look kind of hung over. Like this fellow who is thinking, “My brain is screaming. I don’t have time for this s#@t.” We suggest some aspirin and a nap in that tree hole, buddy. Not so wise anymore, eh? [Hungover Owls] Keep reading »

Divorce 2.0: Blogging The Whole Thing

The StirAugust 22, 2010 //

It’s the age-old story. Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl and has two kids with her. Girl starts a blog. Boy starts a blog.

Boy and girl get divorced. Boy and girl join together to write a blog about what it’s like to be divorced parents living within walking distance of one another in New York City and trying to keep their kids off the psych ward. Keep reading »

Awful Library Books For Men And Boys

AsylumAugust 20, 2010 //

History can be hilarious! Consider words with meanings that have changed over time (remember when “gay” meant happy, like “Grandmother is so gay”?), sexist advertisements that could elicit modern-day lawsuits and library books that now seem grossly inappropriate.

As luck would have it, Michigan librarians Holly Hibner and Mary Kelly discovered that the latter yields an especially large amount of laugh-worthy material. So much, in fact, that it’s become a personal hobby for them to weed out amusing/borderline-obscene books to post on their website, Awful Library Books. Keep reading »
