Ilan Hall, the 24 year-old from New York City.
Was it just me or did Ilan totally start rubbing you the wrong way toward the end of this season? He was so cocky and obnoxious to everyone around him, saying how much better he was than Marcel and taking low jabs at him. Not that Marcel’s a saint, but the personal attacks on him were pretty uncalled for.
My grandma can’t understand why nobody liked Marcel. “He seems like a nice guy,” she’d say, “He never yells at anyone. Why does nobody like him?”
Everyone got SO snaky at the end except for fan fave Sam–the only one who didn’t come off like a jerk. Oh well, there’s always next year…
But on Bravo reality TV, did anyone else see the first half of Top Design? WHY DOES TODD OLDHAM SPEAK LIKE A WEIRD GAY ROBOT?

Typically the most damaged relationships that I work with are those with a history of verbally abusing each other when they get mad. In essence, they don’t know how to “fight fairly”.

Today I was just watching the season finale of the Showtime original series Dexter and afterwards I went out to the bodega on the corner to get some milk. As I was walking back, I saw this stack of garbage and I totally started getting the heebies. In the middle of the pile of trash was a LIFE-SIZED DOLL’S HEAD sitting neatly on top of the stack. (See image below!!!) It was soooo creepy. I thought maybe the real-life Ice Truck Killer was mocking me after watching the final episode.
I will be sleeping with my teddy bear tonight.

In a article about indie music lovers who happen to be black, published on January 28th on NYTimes.com, included the following passage:
There is even a new word for black fans of indie rock: “blipster,†which was added to UrbanDictionary .com last summer, defined as “a person who is black and also can be stereotyped by appearance, musical taste, and/or social scene as a hipster.â€
Bahr Brown, an East Harlem resident whose Converse sneakers could be considered blipster attire, opened a skateboard and clothing boutique, Everything Must Go, in the neighborhood in October, to cater to consumers who, like himself, want to dress with the accouterments of indie rock: “young people who wear tight jeans and Vans and skateboard through the projects,†he said.
Uh… is this like how things were so “deck” and 30-somethings were “Yupsters”? Another horrible made-up word to piss off everyone? I think hipsters have a hard enough time using the word “hipster”, let alone trying to break themselves up by ethnicity. What’s next? Asiasters? Indie-Indians? Whitester?
I guess it’s one of those things you just have to laugh about…take an comment by 360 Curl in the post below where I first mentioned the article:
frederick douglass was such a blipster

Check out this feature on AOL Music chronicling some of Madonna’s high (and low) fashion points over the years. As you may notice, I provided some of the commentary for the photos. Give me some link love…
