Missdemeanors: The Quickest Way To A Woman’s Heart Is Not Bukkake

Welcome back to “Missdemeanors”, where we arrest, convict, and sentence gossip bloggers, hilarious or downright paint peeling, for their Crimes Against Womanity. While our punishments thus far have delved into the realm of our wildest and most violent fantasies, we’ve noticed that some of you would like to see these perps really penalized in more realistic ways. But aside from an old-school, sixties-style letter-writing campaign or a flaming bag of shit delivered to each of their doorsteps, we’re painfully blank on how to scold these creepsters for real. Your suggestions are welcome in the comments section. After the jump, allow Perez Hilton’s barely-legal blow job fantasies and generally evil, hateable, loathsome Todd from I Don’t Like You In That Way inspire your wrath.

The Charge: Vulgarizing the Vagina
The Accused: Egotastic’s mystery blogger who we have reason to believe might be named Phil. Fitting.
The Evidence: “Something smells fishy, and I’m not talking about Kim Kardashian’s underwear drawer.”
Points for Good Behavior: While “Phil” has the maturity of a 10-year-old boy, he is rather sweetly enamored with the female form. Boob appreciation jokes are certainly sexist in a way, but they don’t really piss us off. That said, insinuating that the vagina smells gross is tired. Not that eau du femme (or “Vulva”!) is really our personal fave, but fish stink jokes are cliche and suggest you’ve never actually got close enough to one to smell it for real.
The Sentence: A kick to the balls never hurt.

The Charge: Sleazy Bedroom Tactics
The Accused: Brendan from What Would Tyler Durden Do, a real godfather of the misogynistic blogosphere, having spawned The Superficial and I Don’t Like You In That Way as well.
The Evidence: “When I have sex, I’m like a squid, I just shoot the girl in the face and then take off during the resulting confusion.”
Points for Good Behavior: Um, none. Women are not sperm receptacles for your amusement, fuckface. Would you splooge in your mom’s face with that tiny dick?
The Sentence: Finally sentenced for those date rape offenses he’s undoubtedly incurred.

The Charge: Art Skills That Suck Dick
The Accused: Mario Lavandeira, the increasingly-swelling blowhard behind Perez Hilton.
The Evidence: Doodling a cum-dripping penis near Hayden Panettiere’s head, saying, “Something tells us [she] is quite familiar with this position.”
Points for Good Behavior: Honestly, Perez isn’t even remotely funny anymore. And he doesn’t break news either. Really, why do we go to his site other than to hate on him? The pictures aren’t even fun because they’re ruined by his retarded monkey scribblings. By the way Mario, just because you can’t get laid, doesn’t mean every young actress is a cock-sucking whore. Really, the two aren’t even connected.
The Sentence: We’re vowing to not read his site for one full week and will not include his heinousness in next week’s column. Just cuz.

The Charge: Passive-Aggressively Thinspiration
The Accused: That dum-dum Rian from The Skinny who wastes way too many brain cels obsessing over celebrity weight. Read a book, sweetie.
The Evidence: “Do YOU want to eat like Oprah? (Personally, I do not. I’d rather eat like one of the slim, fit celebrities whose weight doesn’t fluctuate every five minutes!)”
Points for Good Behavior: Zero, just like Rian’s likely dress-size. This site basically sucks and offends our eyes, when we could be wasting our work hours updating our Facebook profiles. It’s boring. And for the record, of course you don’t want to eat like Oprah, Rian. Because you have an Eating Disorder. You probably would rather eat like that pigeon we once saw in Florence, Italy whose beak was sewn shut.
The Sentence: A month living with one of those awesome tribes where fat women are worshipped.

The Charge: Worst Person, Um, Ever
The Accused: Todd from I Don’t Like You In That Way. Has a nice person named Todd ever existed? We don’t think so.
The Evidence: Let’s put it this way: there’s so much horrible girl-hate on this site that we compiled three gems.
1) “Good for Jennifer Aniston because a chick’s vagina is like Yellowstone Park. When I go, I want to camp out. I don’t want a sock in my teeth.”
2) “God, I hate this ungrateful cunt. Every time Kirsten Dunst opens her mouth it’s something like this. She has no discernible talent or dental plan… God knows why she was cast in Spider-Man. It sure wasn’t to be pretty. They’d could have cast that WB frog and nobody would’ve known the difference.”
3) “How did the soldier that Gilligan found become Katherine Heigl’s sister? Does she still think it’s WWII? Man, I hope not. I’m just gonna take a wild stab and say that they have different parents. Either that or a Japanese hooker called Mrs. Heigl with a secret. Oh Mr. Heigl, you naughty boy.”
Points For Good Behavior: Not Applicable. Cunt? Check. Pubic hair jokes? Check. Racist zingers? Check.
The Sentence: We’ll let the Jezebel Jury decide that one.

Chloë hos Chloé

Chloë Sevigny er som vanlig up to date på dette bildet, med grått som base. I høst vil en grå cardigan og grå basker være helrett, og spesielt kult er det om alt går i omtrent samme fargetone.

Kate Moss gikk for helgrått før i høst

Fant noen bilder av Chloë fra Chloés S/S-visning også. Her er hun knipset sammen med modell Anja Rubik og søte Clémence Poésy. Chloë, som er kledd i tidsriktig kabelstrikk i høstlig farge, sies å være Chloés ansikt utad for deres nye parfyme.

The Denim Jacket : How-To [She Knows Best - Lifestyle Tips for Guys]

Jean Jacket, Denim Jacket. Call it however you want. My husband calls it Jean, I call it Denim. The title of this blog is SHE Knows Best and the DETAILS Men’s Style Manual calls it Denim Jacket so I guess I rest my case. Hah!

But not quite yet. Let me elaborate further on what the DETAILS Manual says on this universal and classic layer that seems to confuse Men(and Women). Hopefully, after reading this and following the guidelines you won’t be committing any more mistakes when it comes to the Denim Jacket.

BEGINNER:
Do NOT, and remember this like a tattoo of your wife/gf’s name on your arm, Do NOT wear a Denim Jacket with Jeans. A slim-cut basic style with flat-=front trousers and T-shirts is the way to go. This look should be reserved for office.

INTERMEDIATE :
Try one from a corduroy or canvas. This will give you a versatile texture and match-friendly fabric. Now this you can wear with jeans.

ADVANCED :
To add a welcoming texture layer, try slipping a narrowly tailored, undistressed denim jacket on under a corduroy blazer of a lightweight overcoat.

Rejuvawand Zaps Away Age! [Beauty Gizmo]

Anti-aging products seem to be the hottest products in the market, and that explains the mushrooming of anti-aging skin care brands or even product lines in well-known beauty brands. Even in the beauty gadget department, anti-aging seems to be a really hot topic. Here’s another one, and it’s called Rejuvawand.

Ergonomically designed, safe and easy to use, the RejuvaWandTM helps you fight the effects of time by promoting and stimulating the skin’s own rejuvenation process. By using the RejuvaWand regularly in the privacy of your home, you can unlock your body’s natural restorative powers without invasive and painful surgery, intense laser treatments, chemical peels, collagen or Botox injections.

Using the RejuvaWand is pain-free. It combines the separate rejuvenating effects of red and infrared light with the benefits of gentle massaging action to diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. The result? With use as directed, your skin can appear smoother, and more beautiful, radiant and youthful-looking.

The Rejuvawand is an electric beauty gadget that uses infared light, and it massages your skin gently. It is pain-free and does not have any downtime that is commonly associated with dermatological treatments. This beauty gadget is also bundled with skin care products that are to be used to obtain maximum benefits.

Teri over at AgingFabulous has gotten the chance to try this, and here’s her initial review. I look forward to look out for her final verdict about this product - if Rejuvawand indeed makes skin younger!

Watson The Prick: Geneticist Apologizes To Africa; It Was All A Case Of Wishing He Was A Jew

Hey, remember how double helix discoverer and nasty old Nobel laureate James Watson thinks black people are stupid and all homos and ugly women deserve to be aborted? Well, now he says he doesn’t actually believe all of that. “To all those who have drawn the inference from my words that Africa, as a continent, is somehow genetically inferior, I can only apologize unreservedly. That is not what I meant. More importantly from my point of view, there is no scientific basis for such a belief,” is his new line. Which is not to say that he doesn’t think scientists should look for one, according to today’s “What I’ve Learned” feature on the Esquire website, which can be summarized thusly: “The world would be so much better if everyone just had my DNA, or alternately, that of the Ashkenazi Jews, who are so much smarter than everyone else it is only natural and warranted that people hate them, because they have all the money, and we should probably pay them even more money since they are greedy and that is how you motivate these people, to have more children.”

It’s all because he desires world peace! “If you could make people with ten-point-higher IQs, we’d probably have fewer wars,” he says. Not to mention, way better weapons!

The Workweek Diet: Could It Work For You? [Burning The Scale]

An article on MSNBC says that according to a Self.com poll, 75 percent of women overindulge on weekends and try to start a major diet on Monday. The problem? Social events like going out to bars or to restaurants.

They’ve developed an “exclusive plan” with a dietician that cuts calories during the week, and brings them up on the weekends. According to them, you can still lose one pound a week, but “in a healthy way.”

Here’s an idea of the calories you’ll consume each day: (from the MSNBC article)

Monday: 1,124 calories
Tuesday: 1,156 calories
Wednesday: 1,208 calories
Thursday: 1,388 calories
Friday: 1,814 calories
Saturday: 1,999 calories
Sunday: 1,792 calories

I have a couple criticisms of this diet. One, you should never eat less than 1,200 calories unless you want to slow your metabolism down. This spartan way of eating is sure to set you up for a binge. Besides, with the calories up to almost 2,000 over the weekend, you’d most likely gain back the weight in those three days and be starting all over again come Monday.

My second concern is that almost all the dinners are recipes- i.e., something you would need to make in your home. It doesn’t accomodate for going out, except for Saturday’s dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Isn’t the whole point of the story that people tend to go out on weekends?

My advice is to eat a higher number of calories consistently throughout the week - around 1,500. People think the lower they cut their calories, the more they’ll lose, but if you cut them too much you’ll go into starvation mode. This will actually slow your weight loss.

All in all, there are some good recipes used in this diet (I’m just not sure how practical making all of your meals is) so be sure to check them out.
