DISQUS

Voted for you. And Ricky. Get excited.

Okay, popped collars are super lame. Agree'd. But I happen to enjoy this resurgence of prep-parody fashion. But then again, I am over here in Southern California... and I also happen to enjoy sailing as a hobby... So I might just be coming from a different place.

But come one, guys. Let's not kid ourselves. We all wanted to hate Steff and Blane and the rich kids from Pretty in Pink. It was easy. But did you ever explore just WHY you had that feeling. I assure you, it's only partly because Steff is the antagonist and a serial dick.

The reason that we have a predisposition to disliking Steff and the rich kids is because their existence magnifies our own many faults and lack-of-privilege. The masses of the humanity hate being reminded how little they've done, or how little their parents have done. It's easier to just project negativity toward the successful, or the children of the successful, to make up for our own inadequacies of having, relatively, nothing.

It's called hatin'.

The preppy look bothers you. You call it the "asshole-on-a-yacht"-look. It's because it has historically been associated almost universally with successful individuals... and that bothers you.

In reality, we all truly want be more like Steff. Steff is the hero of that picture. And anyone who says they'd rather live Duckie or Iona's pathetic-ass life is just kidding themselves.

I have actually given this same thing much thought.

I find that, if I am behind the lead car and it's obvious that the person driving is unaware that the light has turned green, I do honk my horn, but I try to just give it just a quick chirp; Like, the shortest honk that a horn is capable of, you know? I think that a "chirp" sounds polite, while anything longer makes you sound like an ass.

I know that if I am the person zoning out at the green light, and the person behind me LAYS on their horn for a full 2 seconds, I find that pretty unnecessary. I'd appreciate the polite chirp.

I saw the clip of Ms. Boyle's performance this morning on the awful, Los Angeles-based, wacky morning television "news" magazine that I let drone on in my bedroom during my AM routine.

They too were framing their acceptance of this woman's performance as some type of moral virtue that they possessed. Forgetting that the only reason that anyone found this performance at all shocking was because they has judged her by her appearance far before she ever was handed a microphone.

It did make a connection.

I wondered for days about every detail. In the same way I daydream about why it seems that almost everyone who has ended having to swim out of the Rivers of America, has subsequently drowned in them.

I hope this doesn't come off as disrespectful. I mean, I understand that co-opting some feeling from a stranger's death is pretty disrespectful, but you should know that I often keep these thoughts to myself. I thought about not even mentioning it here, but the serendipity just felt like too much to not mention.

At the risk of appearing as though I have missed the whole point of this post, I find it wildly coincidental that I have enjoyed your blog since about February of 2008 after randomly following a link, and it turns out that you are related to someone who I've put quite a bit of time in to researching and reading about, not only as a Southern California resident and lifetime Disneyland annual pass holder, but as someone who is a bit obsessed with any events that result in death that occur on the Disney Anaheim properties.

I literally lost sleep wondering about this very incident when it happened.

plus TOPMAN!

This post couldn't be more appropriate for me to right now. I just watched Milk on Monday night... and then cried for about a 20 minutes. After fighting so hard against Prop 8 last year here in CA, it was just a lot to take in. I knew he had been assassinated, but I didn't really know that much about the man.

But yeah, in the very beginning of the movie, cut-in with the new footage are some actual filmstrips of a woman announcing the assassination of Milk and Moscone at a kind of makeshift press podium.

If watching the man narrate the film by way of recording the very tapes that are "only to be played in the event of his assassination" wasn't enough for you as a viewer, they bonked you on the head with ACTUAL filmstrip.

Isla is so beautiful. I don't know much about her personal style, but I dig this casual look though.

As someone who is obsessed with fashion myself, albeit men's fashion, I think it's great you've decided to dress better. And I think it's a great idea to have "style idols" like you mention here. At any given time, I know I have a list in my head of male celebrities who I am keeping a very close eye on. Ed Westwick is a fave of mine right now. I save hundreds of images a week to make look-books.

If you dig this look, you owe it to yourself to go to www.jcrew.com this instant.

I seriously can't concentrate on the actual blog because of how absolutely infatuated I am with it's impeccable formatting. I don't want to sound weird, but the first thing I said to myself when I looked the page over before reading it was, "ooohh damn, she paragraphed all the dialogue properly " in that kind of voice a man might use to describe a woman at the gym who's bending over to use the water fountain...

I literally surprised myself at my reaction.

You should post the video from that Kodak Zi6 as an extra.

This was a blast to watch. I'm a fan of the show and this is the best episode yet.

You guys are going through a second renaissance. Funnier than ever.

The J Crew catalog is my bible.

Good choice.

Virtual Boy FTL.

"SUUP" like a rabbit.

Well, I am not a female and I am not between the ages of thirteen and sixteen, but I felt that I must speak up on this subject. As of late, Axe Body Spray has become the subject of much ridicule among my circle of (foppish) friends.

I have a rule: No good cologne will ever be available in an aerosol spray can.

Keep making these.

Don't stop believin'

Damn. Shout outs to heaven. She means business.

As a professional gentlemen who appreciates the finer things, I prefer my shower products to be designed for the one thing they're used for. I like to wash my body with body wash and wash my hair with seperate shampoo and conditioner, both designed for my type of hair. I do this all for the same reason I don't shave with just soapy water: I'm a male in the 21st century and I DO care about this "nonsense."

Time management is important, and maybe for the gym this product would be great, but if you don't have enough time to shower properly before going to the office in the morning, you need a raise.

This is really well done though. I love the rapist glasses.

Get your shit, we're going to Crapplebees.

Hey my name, "Tom Smith" is on the chalk board as a Star Wars make up artist. Sweet.

OMG Sam is AWESOME in this one.

Original and interesting commentary. As usual.

God bless us. God bless The United States of America.
