It’s not just you! The polls are in, and this Christmas was officially a disappointment. Sales were “bleak”, the streets were violent, and in the U.K. a man stuffed his wife’s dead body under the tree before killing himself. Uplifting! So here’s a news tidbit to be thankful for: in Los Angeles, a “beefy” dude wearing a seriously modified Santa getup replete with purple G-string was booked on a DUI charge yesterday. According the the UPI, the Santa in question was 6-foot-4, 280-pound Rick Carroll, who, in addition to sporting the G-string, was clad in black leg warmers, a blond wig, and a red lace camisole. A L.A. county sheriff told the press, “He had to sober up and find his own reindeer.” Zing! In slightly less amusing news, an escaped tiger named Tatiana killed one person at the San Francisco Zoo yesterday.

Tatiana mauled two others, now in stable condition. Last December, Tiger Tat ate the flesh off a zookeepers arm during a public feeding. The terrible tigress didn’t survive the holiday — she was shot by police.

Victoria Beckham for Marc Jacobs should be hilarious.  Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu should be polished.  Lovefoxx from C.S.S. for Luella should be fun.  Yes, the SS08 fash ad watch has begun with those February issues coming out soon, the full rollout of ads should be completed.  However, I had no idea M.I.A. was doing Marc for Marc Jacobs.  Now M.I.A. usually makes me want to jump around in a lunatic-like fashion.  Actually, just thinking of M.I.A. already sends warped fractal primary coloured patterns through my brains.  So somehow, these ads shot by Juergen Teller aren’t really doing anything for me because I don’t see her exuding that same energy that I’d associate with her.  It’s a shame as it’s always nice to get a hit of ‘Happy Happy’ when flicking through mags that can be a tad dour.  I’ll have to count on Lovefoxx to do that then.

On the plus side though, I’m suddenly thinking that my charity shop oversized men’s suits and washed-out pale blue jim jams really need to be dug out again.

It’s been a tick since we saw the oh-so-snazzy RoverPC G5, and we must say, the RoverPC P6 cranks up the sexy by a few orders of magnitude. The Windows Mobile 6-based handset, which is sure to make those not in Russian mighty envious, sports a 300MHz Samsung 2442B processor, a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 resolution touchscreen, 64MB of RAM, 128MB of Flash ROM, a microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, miniUSB, a 2-megapixel camera and a built-in media player to boot. Additionally, the phone checks in at just 15.1-millimeters thick, rocks a dark gray motif and touts tri-band GSM connectivity. So go on, pick one up for around 7990 rubles ($323) — just don’t rub it in when you do, alright?

So obviously we write this hoping that no one is reading this, because everyone is at the mall or the park or the tropical island having a wonderful vacation. We are sprucing the shit up around here, if you will forgive the entirely unnecessary profanity, and we introduce: our search box! We just searched for “James Blunt” and we found all this stuff we wrote when we actually thought he was cute. (This is unlikely to recur in 2008. Can we say that our brain is so fried that we just had to look up “recur” to make sure it’s a word.)

Anyhoo, we’ll be back stronger than ever in 2008 (er, if we do say so ourselves) and we’ll be doing some behind the scenes work for the next few days. As always we love to know what is up with everyone and we pray and expect everyone is having a super-fun time.

I think I’m finished my Christmas shopping (oh please let me be finished my Christmas shopping!) but I have to admit, I am still working on one last hand-made Christmas gift!

If you’re still short on shopping, did you know that Amazon now has email-able gift cards?

Of course, you can also use those cards to buy fun things like this sterling silver pave cocktail ring:

This is the true story, fresh from the Jezebel inbox, of two American 18-year-olds, Eliza and James, who met in Latin class and did not fall in love. That said, it did not stop one of them from trying. One day Eliza wore a pair of cute argyle socks to school and James told Eliza she resembled his “naughty school girl fantasy.” Another time she mentioned that his shaved head and affinity for angry hardcore music led her to believe he was a racist, and he retorted that by stereotyping skinheads, she was just as bad “as people who think all Jews are ‘greedy merchants.’” Finally, James asked Eliza on a date. Unsuccessfully. Later that afternoon, he posted this IM chat with a friend on his Facebook profile. The title: “Misogyny is good for the soul.” We are posting it here as a public service announcement to all high school teens. (Note: in reality, James did not have the, um, cojones to say what he claims to have said.) Merry Christmas!

One day, one day very very soon, you will look back at these missives and the memory of their hormone-saturated angst will give you the self-awareness and fortitude to soldier on, past new rejections and unrequited affections, bringing context to slights and put-downs.
