Don’t Push Your Luck MTV
We all remember how great The Breakfast Club was. The movie is still circulating practically every week on television, but when something is this good, shouldn’t we preserve it? MTV must have thought that they were doing so well with new reality shows, The Buried Life and Life As Liz, that they would continue on this train…
They recently ordered a new series called, “If You Knew Me.” Oh don’t we know what this is already about… probably featuring one special person from every clique in high school and “breaking those stereotypes.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for that. I think people are so quick to make assumptions about others, but this idea is also recycled way too much. It’s safe to say that nearly everyone in the world does or believes in one thing off to the side that varies from their typical norm.
Oh… just read the description.
“The show will take five high school students through a so-called “Challenge Day,” a program aimed at breaking down the barriers dividing different social cliques.
The network has asked for 12 episodes.”
Song of the Day

Coachella: All or Nothing
The Coachella festival planners have officially decided to scrap all single-day tickets. This year attendees will only be allowed to purchase a three-day ticket pass for $269. Hello, do they not know that people can’t afford to attend a music festival all three days? Time is money, and money is not something we all have. Sometimes it is convenient for us to just choose one day that has all that we are looking for.
In light of the forceful three day pass – they have decided to cut the camping fees from $57 to $55. Oh damn a whole two dollars!
So what is the reason behind all of this? Festival architect Paul Tollet says, “The single- and two-day people are clogging up the hotels and making it so people who want to go for three days can’t find a hotel.”
Clearly this isn’t a good enough reason for everyone else. Fans of the festival are fuming and won’t let this sit quietly, but will all their noise make a difference in the end? Who knows?
Goodbye J.D. Sallinger
“What really knocks me out is a book, when you’re all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.” – Catcher in the Rye
:(
Another day, another author gone. Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books! I remember reading this book for english in high school and loving Holden’s witty and sarcastic remarks. In fact, many of the lines in the book sound like were written for A Softer World – my favorite photography comic website. Today, the famous author passed away. J.D. Sallinger, thank you for all of your work. You will be missed.
Juicy Founders Leave w/ a Not So Sweet Exit
The two women responsible for the brand Juicy Couture are hanging up their crowns. Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy have decided to step down as creative directors. They first founded the brand back in 2003, but later then sold it to Liz Clairborne in 2008. Not willing to part with the brand at that time, the founders decided to stay on as creative directors. According to Fashionista, they received a statement this morning from the CEO Bill McComb,
“There will soon be a new creative director—Nash-Taylor and Skaist-Levy will transition into creative consultant roles. “This transition is in keeping with the plan we made when I came to Liz Claiborne three years ago,” said McComb. “At that time, the Juicy founders were concluding their initial four-year contract, and I was thrilled that they agreed to another three years with the express understanding that their final year would be as creative consultants.”
Bummer… I’m surprised they stayed in this long what with their careers almost being over with the invention of the Juicy sweatsuits… worst. idea. ever.
On another note, let’s not forget that Juicy does produce well-made clothing, sweatsuits aside!
Let the models do what they do best
Why is it that whenever models and celebrities are seen wearing certain pieces of clothing, we feel inclined to buy the exact same thing? Is it because it looks amazing (or better) on them, and we would like to be seen in that same light? Probably. I’ve never bought anything from eBay before, but recently someone tried to auction off their Marc Jacobs top. Instead of the typical shirt sprawled out on the carpet of your floor, like I’ve seen many many timesbefore, they inserted a picture of THE Gemma Ward wearing the shirt herself. It’s not the exact shirt being sold, but it is still the same shirt.
Even if I did buy clothing online, I would most likely buy it if I saw it on a celebrity first than if I had seen it on a carpeted ground with terrible lighting. Just saying.
Cupcake Royale’s Deathcake
The thought of being consumed by this much chocolate is terrifying. I dare someone to eat the full slice in one sitting. In fact, I would probably like to witness this. How to make the deathcake: 1 part chocolate cake from Cupcake Royale and 1 part Stumptown Espresso Ganache.
You won’t be getting a food coma, you’ll be in a cake coma!
Tonight from 6-8 PM in all Cupcake Royale locations, you will be able to sample this cake for free! So go go go! The cake is only available for a limited time from January 29th-February 14th for $6.65
The New Purity Ring
Move over Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers, the purity ring is OUT. Now you can get the virginity certificate!
What does that mean exactly? It means now you have a super cool piece of paper stating that you’re a virgin (the cool way to let everyone know basically.)
Currently there are 215 virgins and counting! (oh c’mon I know there are more than that…)
Obtain your virginified certificate here
