Brace yourselves, kids: Kanye West has opened a Twitter account. This will either be the greatest thing to ever happen to the internet or his Tweets will become so full of The Crazy that they will awaken the dead and the zombie apocalypse will be upon us. I think I'm ok with either scenario. Below is a taste of the magic that is already unfolding; I have a feeling he's about 50 tweets away from a complete Courtney Love-esque
social media meltdown.

Don Draper stole my Ray Bans


So I missed last night's Mad Men season premiere because I was recovering from the awesomeness that was the Hillside Festival 2010. If you've never been, do yourself a favour and make the trek to Guelph Lake next year, because I have a feeling that in the coming years it will become overrun with entitled idiots who think they're in "A very special episode of The Hills at Coachella". Sorry today's post is a wee bit on the slim side - I'm tired from being alternately drenched with rain and sun-baked for three days. Oh, and drinking beer. Lots of beer.

  • Jon Hamm: There are no words to adequately describe your awesomeness...except "awesome". Check out this interview Jon did last week with Jimmy Kimmel where he recounts a story about meeting MC Hammer. Swoon. Jezebel
  • Remember that whole Daily Show sexism controversy? Well the women of the Daily Show had their say and now the men-folk have had theirs. Like I needed another reason to love Wyatt Cenac. NY Magazine
  • Get ready for the greatest 9-seconds of your life: YouTube

Locked in my basement, sittin' on a tricycle...



  • I want to hate the Smith family, but I just can't. Could it be that my grade school love of "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" has squashed any dislike I might have for Jayden Smith's Predator braids, or Jada Pinkett Smith's lock-jaw permasmile? Maybe it's because I secretly (publicly) wish that I too could pull off Union Jack leggings a la Willow Smith. Whatever it is, the ladies at Go Fug Yourself have summed up what I truly believe is Big Willy's internal monologue: Go Fug Yourself
  • Spent last night making (i.e. watching boyfriend make) the tastiest of dinners and watching The Losers. Best movie ever? No. Lots of explosions, action and kicky dialogue that will bring happy fun times to your life? Yes. Oh, and lets not forget the smouldery-smouldery-ness of one Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
  • My new nickname for Angeline Jolie? JAWLINE: The Superficial
  • Butter chicken: Delicious and deadly. Well not really deadly, but such is my obsession with this dish of dishes that the headline "Toronto Woman Drowns in Tomato-Curry Sauce" is always a possibility. Here are the best places to almost-die from yumminess according to BlogTO: BlogTO
  • Eye candy du jour: Tommy Ton knows street style. One of my all-time faves - JAK & JILL

Cheesecake Confidential



This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of attending the first annual Blanche Devereaux Appreciation Night. Not exactly a Buena Vista Home Entertainment sanctioned event, but more like an amazing alternative to the usual bachelorette party tedium of penis straws and matching hot pink bridal party t-shirts. Who knew hanging out with a bunch of gals wearing satin pj's and eating midnight cheesecake could be so awesomely fun and debaucherous? *Said debauchery will not be outlined in detail to protect our *ahem* "reputations".

I wanted to do a Monday blog round-up, but hadn't quite come down off of my Golden Girls "Lanai High". The links below are bursting with fruit flavour:

  • The Juggalos are coming! The Juggalos are coming! (and we're still in the tub!). Never heard of the Juggalos? Allow me to enlighten you: Remember that god-awful band The Insane Clown Posse? Well it turns out these turds have developed some kind of "Phish fans on meth" following over the years which has become so rabid that they actually hold an annual gathering called, wait for it...The Gathering of the Juggalos. This four day hillbilly heroin-fest involves "concerts, wrestling, games, contests, autograph sessions, and seminars with artists." Seminars. With "artists". Right. I dare you to watch this video and not pray for the extinction of the human race. DListed
  • If you haven't stabbed your eyes out after watching the Juggalo video, kudos. Your reward? Jezebel has created a retrospective of what could be considered the gold standard of glamour shot photo poses: the "Hand on Face". Really I just wanted to post this because the first pic is of Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. Jezebel
  • Courtney Love has a fashion blog. Yeah, I know. So far it looks like it consists mainly of photos of her from various fashion shoots and a couple of super-creepy grainy self portraits of her standing in front of a mirror in her gitch. Experience the magic for yourself: http://whatcourtneyworetoday.com/
  • Remember that urban legend about Bill Murray running up to a dude on the street, hugging the guy and then whispering in his ear "No one will ever believe you"? No? Well I do because it's one of the items on my Bucket List: "Get a hug from each Ghostbuster". GQ interviewed Bill Murray in this month's issue and this is what he had to say about it: Gawker

SMART GIRLS AT THE PARTY

I fell in love with this online series from the moment I saw Amy Poehler's trailer. That coupled with quotes like this ( from a 2006 Bust magazine interview re: her thoughts on the Pussycat Dolls), have made Amy a permanent fixture on my Girl Crush List:

Great, go for it, do your own thing ... Sit on cakes. Do whatever the f--k you want. It's just that I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled ... More than it being the Pussycat Dolls thing? It's just distracting from what is real power.


Watch
"Smart Girls At The Party" and it'll take you a few minutes to figure out if it's all a joke or dead serious. It's actually somewhere in between. Amy Poehler's podcast profiles young women who are excelling at school in science, writing or other subjects.

The tagline: Amy Poehler, Meredith Walker and Amy Miles celebrate girls who are changing the world by being themselves.

In the following episode, Poehler interviews 12-year-old Rachel, an exceptional student that builds robots. She shows Poehler and cast how normal kids can become engineers, starting with Legos, and moving their way up to functional robots.

FIRST POST!

I've got a bunch of posts in draft-mode at the moment, so for now I'll have to amuse myself (and you?) with a peek into ye olde wardrobe. I obsess over too-many-to-count fashion blogs and loves me some closet porn, so behold below an approximation of my outfit du jour - some items (the rings) are substitutions as Polyvore doesn't always have the exact droid you're looking for. My fashion motto? Like Wesley Snipes says: Always bet on black.
