Cheers to Proposition 3-17
Wish you had off from
work today so you can go to the pub with your silly
friends for a proper pint? Then sign Proposition
3/17; a Guinness-sponsored-Congress-bound petition
which hopes to make St. Patrick's Day an official
holiday.
My favorite excerpt:
Seriously...sign this thing! Sláinte!Guinness and Proposition 3-17 supporters believe that a regulated, official holiday would not only reduce the amount of employees missing work in order to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but officially allow people to express their Irishness.

Above: iJustine, checking out her iMakeup.
Web celeb Justine Ezarik (more commonly known as
'iJustine', or 'iPhone Bill Chick')
has literally twitter'd her
way to becoming the most popular 'friend add'
in the social networking revolution. Last year,
she literally lived online for six months when she
wore a web cam on her head. Dorks like me who
value the art of lifecasting followed her for
those six months and thought she was the coolest
person ever. (I still might think that,
actually... ).
So now, iJustine goes and infiltrates
the beauty biz. At first, I didn't know how to
handle this news. I mean, this is my territory.
After thinking it through, I decided she can
probably say the same thing re: me pretending to
be as much of an internet geek as she is... so I
guess I can't be territorial. 
Seriously, I must give iJustine props: her hair and
makeup is always perfect in all her videos (that's
saying a lot -- the girl must make five vids a day.
If I did that you guys wouldn't be reading this right
now because you'd be scared of how I look when I wake
up in the AM). I'd be lying if I said I haven't
wondered what makeup she wears. So now we know. Go,
iJustine! Lets be beauty geeks together... ok?

Let's Boycott Maxim
Maxim:
Unsexiest Mag
Pardon me as I vent.
I buy Maxim almost every month because I
like to scope out the gadgets that neither my
favorite geek nor girl mags usually review. This
month= Oh no they didn't!
In a tasteless article called "Hollywood's Unsexiest
Women" (or something), Maxim ranks female
celebs by their—you guessed it—most 'unsexy'
qualities. How rude. I hate even drawing attention to
it, because it makes my skin crawl, but guess who
topped the list? SJP. As in Carrie
Bradshaw. Says the mean mag:
"How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very un-sexy women and still star on a show with 'sex' in the title?"
Who says that? Clearly, they do NOT get it. (... by 'it,' I mean everything.)
Click here for the rest of Maxim's victims, and promise me you won't buy it their November issue.
Need to Catch Up on The Hills?
I love watching The Hills kids kvell over
their own lives. I've missed the last few weeks, so I
just caught up on MTV.com, and found
everything is status quo (thank God). In last
night's episode, Heidi brings on the crazy as she
drags an apathetic Spencer to register for china.
(BTW, he still hasn't told his 'rents about their
engagement.) LC somehow feels a need to be Jason's
"friend" and he makes sure she's present for his
engagement announcement, which clearly is super
"friend"-ly.
Watch the above clip if only for the hilariously
embarrassing Heidi/ Spencer scene in Williams Sonoma.
My New Friend Kristopher Dukes

See that iPod nano on the
left?...yea, my right, your left...scroll down a
little..., see the third link down on my blogroll?...
Kristopher
Dukes?...yea that one...click on it (don't
worry, I'm not going anywhere)... now click the
about tab...ok... done yet?
Isn't that a cool story?? Hello? Hello!?!? Where
did you go?
Ok, if you're still here, stop ignoring me and check
out my new blog find, Kristopher Dukes.com. Not sure how
I only found this chick today, because apparently
the L.A. based blogger has been writing for
fashion and style pubs since she was 15. Love her
stuff...
you will too. Her tone is seriously hilar. (And did
you notice we have the same laptop?)
Oh, and I e-mailed her tonight to give kudos, and she
was basically the coolest and wrote back immediately.
She thinks YBLAG is "chic." So now we're BFF.

Cancer Girls are Cool
Photo: The Boston Globe
What if your easy, breezy life were
ripped out from under you, and you have to deal with
the news that you had cancer? 31-year-old Kris Carr's
documentary of this very nightmare, "Crazy, Sexy
Cancer," airs tonight on TLC at 9. What makes it
interesting, I just read in The Boston
Globe, is that:
"Crazy Sexy Cancer" has the dramatic advantage of feeling unfinished. This isn't a triumphant tale of staring down death or enduring chemotherapy; Carr's cancer, though incurable, never reaches that critical stage. While her tumors could spread at any moment, they stay menacingly still over the course of the film, like vultures that haven't decided to swoop. Cancer isn't a sickness so much as a sense of doom.
How interesting. I look forward to watching this tonight, and to see reality television be used as a vehicle for inspiration and hope rather than bug-eating and child-spanking.
Yet Another Reason for a Chocolate Binge
The gals over at YumSugar
let us in on a
delicious secret this morning: chocolate can help
relieve PMS symptoms. Well, not all chocolate.
A Canadian company called Jamieson Vitamins created
special snack-sized bars called PMS
Support, that are
spiked with natural botanicals to calm tension and
alleviate cramps. Yums. I think I'll "take them"
every day of the month—for preventative
purposes.

Did Launch of YBLAG Inspire This Article?
The Guardian,
a UK pub, released an
article today called "It's Arrived: the feminisation
of the net." Um, duh guys. (Cheers!)
Scoop: The online habits of women in the 25-34 age
range spend more time online their male counterparts.
Same thing goes for ladies in the 35-49 set. That's
not even counting the teenage lifecasters jumping on
beds, acting out music videos for each other on
YouTube.

Are you "It"?
Newsflash: Girls Prefer Pink, Empathize
Can we talk before you buy another shirt? Thanks.
The thing about shopping online is,
your friends aren't around to tell you the cigarette
pants you're considering accentuate your hips.
Enter, Kaboodle.com
(no, its not
an ebay link to turquiose makeup cases from
the early '90's... sorry ). It's actually a social
network that makes it easy to confer with friends
before buying clothes, gadgets or accessories.
Isn't that awesome!? Now there really is no excuse
for making a purchase solely based on your own
opinion. Genius!
My favorite part is the wish list feature... although
I always fall for the marketing ploys behind those
things and they they quickly turn into "I now own
this" lists.
