I literally spent most of yesterday thinking it was Friday. Thank goodness it finally actually IS. So with no further ado:
– This piece about Michael Kors made me happy. I love that he’s so aggressively NOT the tortured artist. The picture of him with his mother on her wedding day alone is worth clicking over to read it. So cute! (New York)
– Yes, I did just spend ten minutes reading about the phenomenon of male Brazilian waxing. My reaction is so torn between, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” and “OW. Boys, SAVE YOURSELVES.” (Salon)
– Cleanse your palate with a look-see at these Golden Girls nesting dolls. (Jezebel)
– The New York Times suggests that we’re all about to start dressing like Elaine Benes. I think this may be true, as I spent much of last fall looking for black-and-white Oxfords. Yadda yadda yadda, call me when we start dancing like her. (NY Times)
– Are you as excited about the final Hunger Games book, Mockingjay, coming out as I am? You will be relieved that there is also an accompanying drinking game! TEAM PEETA! [Actually, I think I’m Team Katniss Chooses Herself Like Kelly Taylor, But If Forced to Choose….you feel me.] (Forever YA)
– Speaking of, Persnickety Snack complied a list of the top 100 YA Books, as voted on by readers. I love Hunger Games, but I would argue that Harry Potter deserves the top spot. But wouldn’t it be boring if we all agreed? And the PEOPLE HAVE VOTED, so you can’t argue with democracy. Check it out! (Persnickety Snark)
– Someone needs NEEDS NEEDS PLEASE to take Courtney Love’s access to Twitter AWAY FROM HER. I feel like Twitter must be the worst thing that ever happened to PR people and managers in charge of…shall we say, UNPREDICTABLE clients? (Celebitchy)
– Can we date? No, I’m not actually asking YOU — although I’m sure you’re lovely, and you certainly have great taste in blogs. I’m just saying, if you’ve ever wondered that about another person, this flow-chart will help. (The Morning News)
– Speaking of dating, apparently The Bieber is all hot for Emma Watson. I see where he’s coming from — she is awesome — but, dude. I think we can all agree that’s NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. (Lainey)
– As we all learned from the time Joey Tribbiani got shoved down an elevator shaft for dissing the writers on his soap, NEVER diss a writer. You’ll end up having an unsavory character named after you. On the other hand, if you make friends with a TV writer, you may have a savory character named after you. (A friend of mine used to work for Ugly Betty, and the names of mutual friends would occasionally pop up, which always pleased me. (The Wall Street Journal)
– Speaking of writing, why don’t we all check into some of literature’s most well-used hotels? I call dibs on the Paris Ritz! (Flavorwire)
– The Gossip Girl blooper reel is worth watching for Ed Westwick’s British accent alone. Oh, Chuck Bass. Why can’t I resist your charms?! (Pop Wrap)
