Ask WendyB
Gorgeous blogger Winona of Daddy Likey does a great feature called Inadvertently Ask Daddy Likey, for which she offers highlarious “answers” to questions inadvertently posed by search terms people use to find her blog.

Thanks for Cute Overload for this one. And thanks to the New York Times for some not-cute-at-all moments. They should have renamed this Sunday’s Styles section the “Boys Who…
