Only the Best for My Readers…

Since weekends are so slow inside the big white box, I’ve decided to take a page out of Chag’s book and do a sort of end-of-the-week round-up of things that caught my eye, piqued my interest or made me laugh. I’ll save any remotely original thoughts I might have for the days when you slackers people with lives actually come around. And if you LIKE the tasty links I’ve served up for your reading pleasure, be a pal and tell me. It’s terribly gauche to eat and run, you know.

First on my list is Mrs. Chicky’s post on girl-crushes. I love this sexy, true confessions kind of stuff (and I’m amazed at how many chicks dig Shakira. Who knew?)

Next is Hipster Mom sounding off about the ubiquity of clothing bling. Naturally, I agree completely. And her shirt idea is trés clever. Don’t even think about ripping it off ;)

We’re so proud of our Dawnie! Many high fives to her for being one of the the few, the proud, the new ClubMom bloggers!!! She’s on vacay but you should still go read about her big news.

Marcie sounds off about Dr. Phil and his annoying wife, Robin. GMTA!

And finally, something new for me to hate… As if the real-life Pussycat Dolls weren’t stupid and cheesy enough, Hasbro is now hawking toy Pussycat Dolls for little girls. What kind of freakin’ drugs are those people on anyway? They’re like the Bratz Dollz’ slutty cousins from LA. Nastayyyyy! Thanks to Tony for the info.

And there you have it! Happy weekend :)

PS: If you happen to be following the whole Fred Meyer “Your breastfeeding boobage is offensive” debacle, you can read more posts and debate about it here. There was one post by some jackass named JB that about knocked me off my seat and got me fired up all over again.

    Bratz Dollz’ *slutty* cousins? How ’bout Slutty Bratz Dollz UnF***ingBelievably Ho-Assed Cuzzins?

    Gawd. Just when you thought that the world of children’s toys couldn’t get any more disturbing…

    I hate, hate, HATE those damn dolls. Decades of feminism down the drain. In the past there was bra burning… Maybe in this generation we can have Bratz and PCD dolls bonfires.
    Thanks for the linky love!

    Hey, those dolls are skanky enough they started with no bras, and not cuz they were making a statement!

    Thanks for the fun maptime reading, Izz.

    Izzy:
    The Bling on the clothes was too funny. Some of them do look like what my aunts wore to Bingo.

    I am capable of producing those “I Hate Bling” shirts. You would just need a minimum of 6 people who wanted one. Let me know.

    Izzy, you are brilliant! Those dolls are scary. Your links are fun and I like your Johari Window.

    those dolls are awful.

  12. By Undercover Angel on Apr 23, 2006

    I hate those dolls too! Thanks for the great links.

    Oh, you have caused my blood to heat up with the Fred Meyer crap. Of all the nerve.

    Those dolls are the equivalent of hoochies from hell. No way I’d let my daughter play with crap like that. Bad enough she is indoctrinated by BRATZ.

    Thanks for the linky love. Gives me something to do other than clean my house!

    Love the new look of the blog!

  15. By Heather on Apr 23, 2006

    Just thought I’d not be gauche and thank you for the links.

    What is the red-headed doll wearing? Looks like some lace-trimmed chastity belt. Beyond gross.

  17. By Chris on Apr 24, 2006

    You’re ripping off some woman’s shirt? I need to stop by on weekends more often! ;-) Sorry. It’s Monday. You know how those are.

  18. By Julie on Apr 24, 2006

    I smacked down that fuckhead JB.

  19. By Hipster Mom on Apr 24, 2006

    Thanks for the llink. Hipster D is going to try one of the shirts for me, but I will ask him if he would rather just hand over the job to someone else.

    Save your girls while you can … the NY article quotes some dumb f**k from Hasbro saying that the dolls represent real people with real careers.

    Strippers and pornstars are real people with real careers, but you don’t see dolls being made of them! Oh … wait …

    Well, at least, those dolls aren’t targeted at little girls. What message are we sending the coming generations? That a viable career for a women requires her to strip naked and grind provocatively for men?
