Top Chef: Inked

This season of Top Chef has gone completely unwatched by me but as I was browsing bravotv.com for the Rachel Zoe Project showtime I came across this lovely photo essay of the tattos of Top Chef Season Las Vegas. Holy crap that's a lot of ink. My personal favorite are the little fork and knife in the corner of one dude's hand.

coolest thing I've seen all day

Vice Magazine's DOs and DON'Ts

This was the best one I came across today:
"Punks with half-assed hair or just the word “exterminate” hand-written on their shirts need to know that the ex-skinhead with the facial tattoos and the completely perfect mohawk is the one that talks to the cop because he is the one that is running shit.

I want to go to there

I will learn how to make this.

This necklace reminds me of Duff from Charm City Cakes


It's just like a tattoo he has and in one episode he made a giant whisk cake in honor of said tattoo. If I was friends with Duff I would get him this.

Reckless Abandon


Web Urbanist's 8 Cities that might not make it.

ANTM'S infamous Jade showed up on Vice's DOs and DON'Ts

I love having a day off and spending the first half of it on the internet because look what it finds me:

"This girl is pretty and everything but her whole shit is so hip-hop-diva-MTV- keepin’-it-real she needs to be advertising Pepsi or something."

Thank's Vice, for bringing this hot mess back into my life!

The Dark Side of Fiji Water


photo credit

This article, Fiji Water: Spin the Bottle, from Mother Jones is a pretty stomach-turning look at the bottled-water industry's most popular product. I'm sad that the country has fallen to martial law and depends so helplessly on this one product that their people are going without. I want to call this anti-corporate aggro-journalism and say the author is making mountains out of mole hills but MJ is a reliable source -- they are sponsored by Kate Spade. Either way the article is fantastic and snarky and just terrifying enough to make me boycott my once favorite water brand (cue shameful face).


Thanks again, MEH.

The Texas Spirits

A good little post on micr0-distilleries in Texas. I had no idea that Tito's Handmade Vodka was just a little brand from Austin because I see it everywhere. Thanks MEH.

A note on cats

link
I've hated cats since before I can remember knowing what hate felt like. And when I say hate I mean I didn't even like to acknowledge that they existed. Sometimes a friend would have a really cool cat that I could tolerate and maybe even enjoy, but for the most part I just didn't care. But when I cat-sat a "ginger" kitten named Belton recently I kind of fell in love with him. I miss taking naps with him curled up by my neck purring loudly. I miss him hiding under the stairs and then attacking my feet every time I walked into the kitchen. And I hate cats! What the crap? This is a picture I grabbed of him napping across the back seat of my car:

Will Krakatoa Rock the World Again?

Will Krakatoa Rock the World Again?
When I was in sixth grade I wrote an epic short story about Krakatoa. It was 14 pages long and it had dogs eating the heads off of their owners because they were starved after the tsunamis and ash killed everyone. You know, the typical stuff a 12 year-old writes about. I got an A + on it but it certainly didn't win me any popularity contests.
