An Awesome Show You Are Almost Certainly Not Watching

Dallas Divas & Daughters on Style. Sure, it’s a flagrant Real Housewives meets Laguna Beach knockoff, but be honest with yourself: doesn’t that sound awesome?

Miss Loves Her Some Motherfucking Cake

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:42:41 -0500

The day after I got engaged, I subscribed to about a million wedding blogs (see also: how Alison and I became friends). Now that I’m at the halfway point between the proposal and the wedding and I have my dress, the bridesmaids’ dresses, the cake, the flowers, and most of the design taken care of, most of the wedding blogs, while beautiful, are getting a little tired for me. The day I get back from the honeymoon, I’ll probably unsubscribe from almost all of them. One of the few exceptions? Weddingbee. Yeah, that’s right. Weddingbee.

Weddingbee, for the blissfully uninitiated, is a wedding blog written by dozens of bloggers. They all have cutesy nicknames, based on everything from weather (Cloud, Lightening) to junk food (Cheeseburger, Cola) to shoes (Mary Jane, Peep Toe): Miss for the engaged bloggers, Mrs for the marrieds. As you might guess, this is not exactly a hotbed of progressive dialogue. This is, instead, a place where women write 500 word diatribes about napkin colors, a place where one blogger writes about having pre-engagement nightmares that her man would propose with “just a solitaire”, a place where another blogger just wondered whether her future husband might buy her a $3,000 ring as a “push present.” While there are a few bloggers I like (Potato Chip, who, aside from being the only blogger to insist on being called Ms., has a refreshingly negative attitude toward DIY, Cowboy Boot, who had a legitimately beautiful wedding, and the extra cute Bear Cub), most come off like women who have no interests outside their weddings or knowledge of how the world works. It doesn’t help that many of the bloggers are in their very early twenties, including one 22 year old bride who is on her second engagement.

Clearly, Weddingbee is the worst. But for that very reason, it is also the best. I have rarely read a blog that is so much fun to hate. Recommended!

It’s time for the annual Kitty Carter episode of my all-time favorite guilty pleasure Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team. Carter is an amazing super-Texas crazy lady who is blunt and mean and awesome. I love her the most.

At this exact moment, she is asking all the veteran cheerleaders to pick rookies that they think would make the squad. One veteran picked a rookie and Kitty responded with “I agree, even though she has that weird little body.” This is in front of the rookie in question. Kitty Carter, everybody!

““LIFE IS A GREAT MYSTERY. IS EVERYBODY A DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN THEY ARE WITH SOMEBODY ELSE? OLE GOLLY HAS NEVER BEEN THISWAY. I WONDER IF PEOPLE ACT LIKE THIS WHEN THEY GET MARRIED. HOW COULD SHE GET MARRIED? WOULD MR. WALDENSTEIN COME UP TO LIVE WITH US THEN? THEY COULD PUT THEIR CHILD IN MY ROOM IF THEY WANTED TO. I WOULDN’T MIND. UNLESS IT WAS A VERY NOSY CHILD WHO TRIED TO READ MY NOTEBOOKS. THEN I WOULD SMASH IT.””

An Embarrassing Thing That Happened to Me Just Now

I just downloaded “Bad Romance” from iTunes because Megabus won’t let you use YouTube (WTF?) and started playing it and then realized my headphones were not plugged in. Shameful moments, guys. Shameful moments.

This is a blog that exists. That is all I’m saying. I’m not saying I just subscribed to it. I’m not saying now I’ll be listening to Into The Woods my whole five hour bus to Boston tonight. I’m not saying any of that. I’m just saying it exists. In a calm and neutral voice, okay?

Dressed in a corduroy skirt, 27-year-old Syracuse resident Michelle Deferio stood near the Waverly Avenue entrance of the Schine Student Center holding a sign.

“HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN, CHRIST CAN SET YOU FREE,” it read.

Chris Pesto, a gay Syracuse University junior majoring in acting, was walking back from class around 3:30 p.m. He saw Deferio’s sign and decided to make one of his own.

“CORDUROY SKIRTS ARE A SIN,” his sign read.

As a Syracuse Acting major (married to a Syracuse acting major), I am proud.

“We Gave You Glee” is the best sign of all time.

TwilightGuys Report: He Proposed with Bella's Engagement Ring

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:12:17 -0500

TwilightGuys Report: He Proposed with Bella's Engagement Ring:

I would recommend reading every. single. word. of this story, but:

A few nights later after reading the book, Marianne was intending to buy a t-shirt to wear to the opening release of Breaking Dawn in August and she had the Twilight Teez website open on her computer. I promised I would buy her the shirt and that’s when I came across Bella’s engagement ring.

It finally arrived three months later (give or take) and my plan was simple. I had bought a new bed frame despite there being nothing wrong with the old one. I even went so far as to get one with rose panels. She was confused when I showed her the new frame, but then I intentionally proposed to her the same way Edward did,

“I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever. Will you marry me?”

But it was her face that was most priceless, when she recognized the words I was saying and the ring that she was staring at in its black velvet box. Her reaction was dissimilar to Bella’s — she screamed and nodded and said “Oh my Cullen!” a lot — and I kissed each of her fingertips and the ring that was now hers.

In which Bust responds to Jessica Valenti’s charge that it’s not a feminist magazine with “Bitch, please” (no, really, that’s literally what they say), and, in the process, does my Least Favorite Fake Feminist Thing: alleging that someone isn’t feminist because they dared to dislike something a woman did.
