Just When You Thought It Was Safe…

May 15, 2008 by WendyB

…and you weren’t going to read anything else about big pussies…. Oh noes!!!! In reality, that cat is one of the most petite pussies I have ever encountered. It’s just the angle of the camera that is making him look so large.

Does Anyone Have Orangutan Arms?

May 13, 2008 by WendyB

I got a kick out of the seller’s description of this sweater on eBay. “I’m not even sure where to begin the description of this sweater. It’s a nubby off-white acrylic knit, and was apparently made for either a Yeti, or a knuckle-dragging caveman. The sleeves hang way down past the bottom of the sweater….

If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Ride

May 13, 2008 by WendyB

Not Fairy Likely to Find Prada on Bluefly

May 12, 2008 by WendyB

For a few days, I’ve been obsessed with finding the Prada Fairy Bag on Bluefly. Bluefly keeps sending me emails advertising the bag, and each time I immediately scour the site for it, only to find neither fairy hide nor fairy hair. I emailed Bluefly to inquire about the situation, and received this reply: Thank…
