Friday Love: Here’s where we shout out to the randomness to be had online.

1. Shout out to The Hollywood Assistant, who is my favorite Hipster Moonlighter…Or just aficionado.  That said, this evo-lution chart is funny.  Especially because around 2am on any in Los Feliz/Silverlake/East Hollywood corner you’ll find this exact line up (same poses and all) swanging off of some food truck that may or may not sell tacos:

Evolution of the Hipster

Side note: I also find hipsters to often times have the most interesting and ecclectic taste in music yet also are the worst dancers in the world.  They fill popular venues with that weird seizure like movement.  SMH.  What’s up with that?

2. Beyonce is ridiculous.  We already knew that.  But still.  Four Four is hilarious. 

3.  Okay .  ::sigh::  – can comebody please come and get her?  Please let’s stop the madness.    oooo  ReRe….Don’t let them call you the “Gospel Grizzly”  they’re so right but so wrong…

4.  Oh CHINA.  I was so over and done and done and done with anything related to whorring athletes until you created this little piece of morning glory:

And is it just me or did they scrub the poor animated Coblanasian Sim clean of any Asian features.  I’m just sayin….

Sessions from the peanut gallery: Facebook Advice Holiday Style

‘Tis the season for The Break-Up….

 

So earlier this week, Sexpert Dan Savage was quoted in this NPR article / broadcast about breaking up during the holiday season…

Then, a friend of mine had the below exchange on her Facebook page.

The question is – How do you handle those awkward relationship issues duing the holiday season?

Everybody’s got an opinion it seems… what do YOU think Erica should do?

Erica W. Ok so i have a problem. i am dating someone but i come to realize he aint ” that guy”. we suppose to spend christmas together but i am at the point where i don’t want to spend money on him. and i want to end it what should i do. Problem is i care about him

Yesterday at 5:54pm

 

Frances J.

MS. Erica just let the guy know you and him can only be friends nothing more nothing less. If you want to swap gifts thats cool. But dont wait until after Xmas due to the fact you will be sending out mix signals. Let him know up front you care but you rather remain a friend.Just my opinion poo-poo. Pray God knows better than us all

Yesterday at 5:55pm

 

Erica W.

Yesterday at 5:58pm

 

Kiana P.

Don’t ever settle Erica. You said you care about him right? Well since it hasn’t been that long you’re in a good position to tell him the deal. The longer you wait, the more complicated it gets.

Yesterday at 6:00pm

 

Erica W.

@ kiana thank u so much. @ hey punkin me and u think a like. lol@ frances i am all over it.

Yesterday at 6:04pm

 

Robin F.

If your inner voice says you are settling ….. YOU ARE. There is NO ONE worth you giving up yourself to make him happy. Like I told you before … a REAL man NEVER makes you feel anything but loved and desired …. if he REALLY and TRULY wants you …. he will knock himself out proving it everyday. You wont keep hearing the same broken promises… See More …… over and over. Don’t block your blessing for the one God really has for you …… You cain’t let someone go who was really never there in the first place.

STARRING Lee B.

Kiana P.

LMAO @ Lee. Yeah that works too. Lol!!!

Yesterday at 6:07pm

 

Robin F.

You have to really want to make a decision. Then stick to it.

Yesterday at 6:09pm

 

Gayle W.

Be honest and end it if you ‘re just not that in to him. It’s okay. That’s the whole point of dating, to see if you all fit or not. That is also the point of red flags.

Yesterday at 6:21pm

 

Erica W.

@ robin he has did somethings that made me say well okay he do listen to what i am saying. he is trying so i don’t know.Lee i had to delete him from my page because he was on some other shit. lookin through my friends list. lookin to see who’s wall i wrote on. he want to add him back so bad. hell to the naw i straight.@gayle i feel you on the dating thing. and its not like i just met him, i have been knowin him for over 15 years.

GingerFly’s Free.99 Cents…

Don’t buy a gift.  Remember what Christmas/The Holidays are really about.  Maybe make a donation to the needy in his name.  But most importantly, have a talk with him about your feelings.  Don’t waste time, energy and $$ sending mixed signals that will only cause you more anxiety and complications down the road.  Be plainly honest and to the point.  If you haven’t sorted out how you feel, tell him that too.  A logical, sane man will only understand those terms.  The rest will just be seen as hormonal-weird-women-are-too-complicated-mumbo-jumbo.  

Any drams that unfolds after that is in his court. 

Ahhhh. Relationships….Is it true that that kills the woo?

I giggled at this because it speaks so well to the way men think vs. women.   Or maybe just moreso the reality of how relationships go.

From Crackle: Dennis & Chloe

Not to mention, if a girl sleeps with a guy early on does that mean she’ll never get to be wooed after that?  Does it speak too well to the whole Cow/Milk cliche?  Men hate the woo process that much?  We can’t like the woo AND the sex??  Gotta hold out on the sex to get the woo?  BOOOOOOOOO.  That’s no fun for anybody.

GROSS!! Basically, watch what you buy from CVS because it’s prolly expired.

So AOL is reporting that CVS finds it most cost effective to pay fines for expired goods rather than pay a minimum wage worker to find and dispose of them. 

On Monday, Connecticut became the latest state to cite CVS (CVS) drugstores for selling expired products. Richard Blumenthal, the state’s attorney general, filed a lawsuit against CVS, revealing that investigations his office conducted over the past year and a half determined that 44% of inspected stores sold expired over-the-counter drugs, infant formula, energy drinks, milk, eggs, and yogurt.

 

WHAT?  And I’m talking about milk, eggs, over the counter drugs, and other things that could make you sick by ingesting them after the date.   I’m not understanding why this is OK.  To me, this is further proof the FDA is by and large useless.  Isn’t this why they are around?  To protect us from greedy corporations who sell us dangerous items to consume?  Eh notsomuch apparently.

But then part of me also thinks – what’s up with the expiration dates?  Cuz lawd knows I use stuff all the time that’s technically “expired.”  Is it all just a hoax to begin with? I’m always wondering they slap dates on stuff just to make sure you buy more soon. 

I think all I’m asking is if the store can just sell it to before the date and then allow ME to make the decision whether or not to ignore the date. 

Can’t trust anything man.

TOO CUTE FOR WORDS: Talk to the Moose GAP Commercial

For those of you who do not sit in front of their televisions all day (Ahem, nope not me!), here is a commercial that makes me smile everytime I see it. Too bad the outfits aren’t my cup of tea (They kinda make eyes hurt).   But this illustrates the power of infectious advertising – the commercial almost makes me want to go out and buy that awful penguin sweater for my 5-year-old. Almost.

But it does make me want to dance around the apartment with my kids.

This is too freaky! Nazi Engineered Twin Boom?

Um.  So the HuffPost is reporting this craziness…  After reading a little further, I dunno if I really believe all the hype.

National Geographic Explorer is digging into this mystery and they have come up with a pretty out there, and horrifying, theory. They investigate claims that mad Nazi scientist Joseph Mengele, who escaped to Brazil, continued his research into using twins as a way to build a perfect Aryan master race.

  

This is being sensationalized IMHO.  I mean, it sounds like the abundnce of twinning started well before the WWII Germans arrived to Brazil. 

Still… I can think of about 3 movies outta this one.

ON OUR RADAR: Female Force

We applaud new and interesting efforts to educate the young ones and even ourselves. That is why Female Force caught our collective eye and made us want to share. We hope that the comic series will continue on and will, in time, include lesser known figures who also make amazing examples of female empowerment, intelligence and influence.
