I just have to pause a moment to sing the praises of Go Fug Yourself , which has rapidly become one of my favorie blogs. It is updated frequently, the writing is great, and the photos are truly appalling (coming from someone who will never be accused of being a fashionista).

For me, it's also a bit strange in that GFY has become a primary conduit of information for me about popular culture. I've definitely moved a ways down the curve into aged-out-of-touch-hood, so I often don't know who a lot of these people are or what they do. There was a reality show about finding a singer for INXS? Who knew? (not me, that's who, at least until I read about it in FGY).

It's kind of like people who get their news from the Daily Show. Massively Indirected Media. Sign o' the times.

Anyway. My favorite GFY quotes of the week:

She looks like Bjork by way of the Teletubbies , crossed with one of Santa's elves, and topped off with a light sprinkling of the Fruit of the Loom strawberry.

Haiku for LiLo:

Really ugly boots,
Bad enough. But what's with the
Maternity shirt?

Pretty shiny hair
Why the grandma cardigan?
You know much better.

Security tag
Still on your new purse. Oh well,
Thank God you're not blonde.
