...in front of the FLDS polygamous ladies! Did she really ask them to explain the significance of their hair?!!??!
The other night I was watching THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY and drinking Robitussin when I had a strange vision!  Housewife BETHENNY appeared to me and took me on a vision quest to discover my SPIRIT HOUSEWIFE.  I awoke with secret knowledge... not just of my own housewifely nature, but also of YOURS!  Because we FEYS are generous, I am choosing to share this knowledge with you, our readers, so that you too can unlock your true REAL HOUSEWIFE POTENTIAL.  Which HOUSEWIFE ARE YOU?!?!!?  Are you Mrs. The Countess De Lesseps?  JILL?  Or even BETHENNY!!!!?  Let's hope you're not ALEX MCCORD VON KAMPEN!!!!  Take the quiz and find out!



This AIDS-awareness webseries "In the Moment" is reasonably well produced, acted, and written, as PSA webisodes go. I mean, it's at least twenty times better than QuarterLife. But it is still worth watching primarily to make fun of the embarrassingly "fierce" faggotiness of the dialogue.

Some dialogue highlights from the first ep: "Who's thirty and dirty?!" "Whore!" "I'm Edgar. You're hot." "And Mike gets discounts with his senior citizen card." "Woof."

The most realistic--and haunting--thing about this video is the terrifying sexual avidity of Edgar's gaze. The guy who checked my groceries at the Wegman's on Santa Monica Blvd used to fix me with an identical (and identically creepy) sexual stare.

Also: is "Woof" making a comeback or something? I thought that expression died in the early 80s, along with all the men who ever used it. Moreover, isn't "Woof" like a come-on or catcall to be used on passers-by, not on ALREADY INTIMATE ACQUAINTANCES? LOL.

Last thing: Why is it that when people type on their laptops in bad movies or TV shows (or, I guess, WEBISODES) they always TYPE SO HARD?

Thumbnail image for mccaingirls.jpgIn case this is the only website you read (that is, in case you are my mother) I thought I should break the news here that The McCain Girls were, indeed, just messing around. According to HuffPo, they are the products of comedy site 23/6 and are in no way actual John McCain supporters.

Now that the truth is out, it's kinda funny how little funny there is leftover.

Oh well. Maybe La Pequena is working on something right now.
incest0,,5973141,00.jpgAustralian father and daughter John and Jenny Deaves have gone public with the fact that they are a couple, and that they've made babies together, Appalachia-style. Their first attempt at an incest-baby died of congenital heart disease days after birth.

I'm so glad they didn't give up. Second try Baby Celeste (pictured above, apparently healthy) is a li'l charmer.

More details at The Australian.

I thought this was going to turn out much, much worse than it does.
