Welcome to the pumpin’ iron edition of our song journey. Don’t worry, I am NOT posting “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Here are a few steely-sounding songs that are a little – ok, a lot – harder-edged for the weights crowd. As always, please post your own suggestions, especially if you like metal. This entire post WAS an excuse to post the Skinny Puppy video which, after you get past the chainsaw-like assault, is quite a very lovely pop dance song and I FLOVE it at the gym (but usually for the elliptical).

Mornin’, kids. We’re back with another installment of songs to shake yo’ booty to. This time we’re going to be a little beat-focused for those of you who want to do some dancing around while you’re cleaning your house or want to add some extra pizzazz to your walking routine so pick some ya like and head on out! As always, my taste isn’t your taste so add your own in the comments! Continue reading
Reviews are the stuff of life nowadays. Very rarely do we encounter anything anymore where someone hasn’t written an opinion about it. Of course there are reviews for every place or event you can think of, but what about the places or things that you’d never consider? Who the hell would go to their computer or phone, load up Yelp and start typing out a tome to the DMV? Well, ok, everyone knows why someone would do that but still?
Out of curiosity, I’ve done some completely random, non-comprehensive, non-scientific research to find out who these people are and some of the places they felt the need to share their view of the world for: Continue reading
Hola todos! Welcome to the inaugural edition of music suggestions for the gym. It’s a new year and a new fabulous you. Let’s celebrate by kicking out the tunes. Of course you are welcome to recommend the hot jamz you are listening to. In fact, I insist. I have my own taste in music and you have yours. I tend to go towards indie/hip hop/weird eclectic international stuff but I like a good song, so please share yours with us! Continue reading
It’s Halloween ghost story time! Gather ’round with a potion of your choosing and let’s all trade campfire stories. Last year I asked you to share real life ghost stories that have happened to you. I would love you all to share some more this year. But in true reality television blog style, I’m going to throw in a little twist. Continue reading
Here, you can post your information/worries/concerns/bitches about this damn hurricane. So far as we know in NYC, the MTA will shut down at 7 pm tonight and they are expecting even higher surges than previously predicted, Zone A is being evacuated and the schools will shut down tomorrow. Continue reading
Welp, it is Episode 13 kids, the lucky one that decides who REALLY is in Fashion Week (besides all of the other ones that have already done a show). Christopher, Dmitry, Fabio and Melissa are going and we are too. One will be eliminated before the finale. Any predictions? Will Melissa send down a runway of clothing in black? Will Dmitry decide he’s had enough of this silliness and just accio principatus? Will Fabio be able to finally afford a real hat? So many questions. Continue reading
Good evening, kiddies! And by kiddies, I mean that literally. Kids. Guess what tonight’s challenge is about? Ever more shameless self promotion Designing for Heidi’s new line of kids’ clothing. According to the previews even designing for babies, somehow the designers seem to not be able to entirely cover their asses just like their models. At least babies wear diapers. (Or do they?) So let’s see who’s #1 this week in the Lifetime polls … aaand it is no contest: Elena is still at 42, up one point from last time. She probably took away our venemous buddha’s point because she’s such a jerk. Continue reading
Ok kids, gather ’round. This week we don’t have any conventions to distract us but I’m not all that sure it’s a good thing. I just suffered through last week’s episode, which seemed to drag on FOR-EVAH. I should have caught it with you all. Braids is out and we keep trudging on. And, Elena still is #1 in the user favorite polls (41%). Are there any of these people that we’re excited to see in Fashion Week? Continue reading
¡Ay dios mio! Is it that time again? Jeezus. Ok well, welcome to this week’s liveblog and it promises to be as overwrought as the horrorfest that was FR Ven last week. This time, it’s psychotic breakdowns for everyone so make sure you’ve got a stiff drink nearby ’cause you’ll probably need it to get through this. Continue reading
