Will you feel like a tool if you pay £3,000 for this package? Or will you just feel shafted? (Click to enlarge.) [Daily Candy]

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> Is this an ad for the Department of Health and Human Services? Perhaps the McCain campaign? No, it's our old friend Daily Candy, which now has a "kids" version of its Dallas edition. Surely Daily Candy will have many great products to help us to rear our broods in the coming recession — like a $160 ballerina costume! We are poking holes in all our condoms right now. Watch the full ad for maximum ovary stimulation.

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> Has the economy got you down? Thank God for editors of Daily Candy Dallas, who are always looking out for those passionately pinching pennies. Just look at these throw pillows from Square Feathers: The jute-fiber, down-filled, Texan made "collections," are totally "affordable," starting at the low price of $135 for an 18 inch square design. Now, you'll have to excuse us, we have to get back to our meal of canned beans and rice. [Daily Candy]

<![CDATA[Welcome To DailyCandyland, Comcast!]]> Dear Brian Roberts:

Now that your company, Comcast, has bought online advertorial behemoth Daily Candy for a staggering $125 million, you may be wondering what your big bucks will get you. After the jump, allow us to help with a little tour of today's Daily Candy's offerings. Since the ideal Daily Candy reader is willing to spend tons of money on useless, expensive shit, you should fit right in!

Since the economy is shot, your corporate credit card is probably getting all flabby in your wallet. So "give your AmEx a workout" at Kirna Zabete.com, featured in Daily Candy Everywhere. Here you can purchase garments described as "high-dollar," which is how we say "expensive" in Candyland.












Even media honchos lounge by the pool sometimes, and Daily Candy can help! Check out their Miami edition, which shills for Krelwear's Resort Collection. These "one-of-a-kind pieces" go best with "a man and a mojito," so get shaking! The best part: they take up to three months to make, so the recession might be over by the time they get to you.









We know Comcast has some "crimes and vices" on its conscience — like allegedly blocking legal BitTorrent traffic. So wash them away with "white gold detoxifying salt from the Himalayas" as seen on Daily Candy New York. How do commoners clean themselves without white gold? You don't even want to know.






And finally, just in case America in 2008 doesn't seem enough like a moribund monarchy in which the poor are neglected by a thoughtless aristocracy, take a look at Daily Candy Chicago. That's right, today's headline is "Let Them Eat Cake." "Sophisticated organic" cake, that is, not from a mere bakery but from a "cake parlor." Recessionlicious!

xo,
Jezebel

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> Are you ugly? Well, Daily Candy thinks so, and they have the perfect thing for your disgusting mug. Introducing the Ugly Bag, a $2 paper bag with no eye holes that you wear over you face to mask your ugliness. Surely it will soon become the favorite gag gift of all of your passive-aggressive frenemies (like Daily Candy!). Don't ever say that the editors at Daily Candy don't have a sense of humor! (Well, just don't say they can successfully execute a joke post.) [Daily Candy]

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> With gray slush still sticking to the sidewalks, the editors at Daily Candy: Boston are here to solve your cold-weather shoe needs! "Last week's near-death experience involving your narrow heels, a misplaced pile of snow, and a Weimaraner had you giving up on the outdoors (and the dear old dog) altogether," they write. And they've got some sensible, durable, weather-appropriate shoes to recommend: Peep-toe flats and metallic gold stilettos in prices ranging from $350 flats to $475 stiletto sandals. Because if you're going to ruin some leather shoes in winter weather, you might as well make sure they are expensive! DC also recommends a leather flip-flop sandal for your "date with the new S.O."; wear them next Saturday when freezing rain is predicted for New England! [Daily Candy: Boston]

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> The cultivated tastemakers at Daily Candy Seattle have seen it all: "When your line of work involves everything from back-door bleaching to turd removal, it takes something rather shocking to move you" begins their post on wood bowls. Wait, what? These aren't just any wood bowls, mind you, they are gallery-featured wood bowls made from "reclaimed" trees, reasonably priced from $300-$1,400. Laura Yeats is a woodworker who "speaks for the trees"— tress who apparently have a burning desire to be fashioned into overpriced containers to display wealthy women's organic kumquats. But try to resist the urge to re-mortgage your house for a set of "artful" salad bowls; after all, Anthropologie sells the exact same thing without the craft-fair vibe and the 4-digit price point.

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> Do you want to keep your vagina covered but hate the idea of wearing actual underwear? Do you wear thongs but wish you had something more uncomfortable to wear? Daily Candy has the perfect underwear for you! Declaring "hoo-has" out, DC found strapless g-string "underwear" from Shibue Couture, a company which, judging from their glittery, Geocities-inspired website, creates "couture" for alt-weekly erotic massuses. Made of indeterminable "soft, high-quality fabrics" the strapless g-string sticks to the body with tape, wrapping around the front and up the back (click the picture to see!). Rest assured that these panty-pasties are reusble, allowing you to "whore out again" after a quick wash and re-tape. DC recommends the gold-studded pair, sure to go great with your newly bleached asshole. Stay classy, Daily Candy. [Daily Candy: Everywhere]

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> File this under outrageous: According to today's DailyCandy, even our assholes could stand to look a little younger and cuter! Explain the editors: "Van Morrison wrote the song 'Brown Eyed Girl' as an endearing ode to a former love. And while some will always argue that brown eyes are classic... it has come to our attention that it is no longer acceptable for your bunghole to be, well, brown." Really? Really! And DailyCandy has just the solution: a skin bleaching gel called BungGlow that imparts "a fresher, more youthful look," for just $50. As for the brown anuses of women of color, well, it seems that they're just shit outta luck. [Daily Candy: Everywhere]

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> A high-end spa in West Hollywood, is touting its Charme "skin renewal" treatment, and — no surprise here — the DC gals are already buzzing about it! Charme entails using a machine to spray water on your face. Yes: Spray. Water. On. Face. Of course the water is "low-pH, freshly ionized" (read: expensive), and, according to some "studies in Japan" it's supposed to have some epidermic benefits, but something tells us that not spending half our rent on a glorified humidifier will reap more benefits for our skin than the stress of knowing we just dropped a couple hundred on another worthless, hyped-up beauty product.

<![CDATA[Revisiting Our Adolecence With The Girls We Hated In Junior High]]> The editors at Daily Candy seem to be feeling a bit nostalgic for the time when their superiority over others was represented by the location of their lunch tables: today, the editors of four editions (New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Seattle) decide to revisit their origami skills, homemade terrariums, rock camps, and fake mustaches of years gone by through the sentimental lens of adolescence. (Don't you think that, if they wanted women to buy into what they're shilling, they'd steer clear of readers' acne-riddled, painfully-awkward pre-teen memories?) After the jump, and with the help of Daily Candy editors, we remember the awkward indoor-kid crafts and butch, tomboy phases of our junior high school traumas.



New York: Scraping the bottom of the idea barrel, the people at DC recommend that we try your hand at "moneygami," or, as it is more commonly called, "like, those dollar rings we used to make in seventh grade." Sure to impress our numberonecrush in Health class!
Daily Candy: New York

Washington D.C.: Raising the bar on indoor crafts just a bit higher than the DC staffers in New York, DC Daily Candy editors propose that we make our own terrariums. Educational and evidence of our loneliness! Afterwards, we can pretend that we live in the terrarium and start our own world where we talk to unicorns and make magic spaghetti out of moss!
Daily Candy: Washington D.C.

Philadelphia: To remind us of our tomboy phase (or perhaps to help us come to terms with our lack of thick facial hair?), the girls in Philly propose a $65.00 wooden mustache for us to "disguise" ourselves with. This will go great with our collection of other useless, overpriced, and ridiculously unnecessary things that end up in the bottom of our underwear drawers with bits of lint and wacky tobbacky.
Daily Candy: Philadelphia

Seattle: For all of the 8- to 18-year-olds catching up on the latest from DC, The Paul Green School of Rock Music is opening and accepting students. The awkward cynicism, acne, and sloppily-grown-out bowl-cuts are sure to be plentiful for all us future pretentious Pitchfork writers.

<![CDATA[Daily Cavity]]> This little nugget of DC wisdom comes to us from Washington D.C.: Ever wish that the random splotches on your apartment walls could help you organize your keys? Meet Harry, an "organizational device" from Sweden or whatever that literally looks like globs of neon-splattered spaghetti. This might seem cool in concept but those little gooey "hairs" are never going to adequately hold all of your stuff and you will inevitably be throwing your keys in whatever random pile you come across (you know there are many) when you come home after a night of drinking.

<![CDATA[The Guy Holiday Gift Guide From The Most Annoying Women on Earth]]> We don't want to be alarmist, but... eleven shopping days until Christmas! And have you even started on your boyfriend's present? What? Well, surely you have a boyfriend if you are reading Daily Candy...and surely if you have a boyfriend and read Daily Candy then the idea of purchasing $76 boxers or a designer wood slingshot makes total sense. A few of our other favorite DC holiday gift ideas, after the jump.

DCfireplace121307.jpgNew York: The gals at DC in NYC suggest that your boyfriend's "bulging muscles" would "ripple" in some fire-red long-johns (with convenient neck-to-nuts buttons!). They also suggest a hanging, chimney-less fireplace that starts at a modest $1,260! Perhaps you should ditch the fire-hazard and just get a ceramic space-heater for $19.99 instead?


DCslingshot121307.jpgBoston: Get your guy away from his Wii with a Jack Spade "natural wood" — you know, lest you thought it was made of particle board — slingshot! Seriously, this is an actual thing. We suggest you buy two, so he has something with which to hurl this crappy gift back at you.


DCwallet121307.jpgChicago: Money clips made with the same steel they use in space! Guess what other metal they use in space? Aluminum! Yeah, not as exciting. Money better spent: $9.99 space ice cream.


DCpen121307.jpgLos Angeles: More long johns! Because if there is one place you need the added warmth of full-body undergarments it is LA. These are by Marc Jacobs though so your "straight" boyfriend will LURVE them! Also more space-related items: Fisher Space Pen. It can write underwater! You know that will come in handy.


CVITYtie121307.jpgPhiladelphia: The only DC we've seen to target non-boyfriends, this one suggests the flamboyant, embarrassing ties you used to buy for your dad when you were in fifth grade. Oooooh, counterintuitive! So glad gift guides exist to dispense advice like this.


CAVITYwristcam121307.jpgSan Francisco: The team at DC in SF suggest a wrist camera. We know that this might have sounded like a really cool idea in the brainstorming session (where editors flip through old issues of SkyMall over green tea and designer marshmallows) but people have these ingenious contraptions called cameraphones now, so... oh Jesus Christ, forget it.


CAVITYboxer121307.jpgWashington D.C.: Got a lot of money to burn? How about a pair of custom-made, two-ply, 160 thread count boxers with mother-of-pearl buttons and a "roomy posterior"? At $76 a pair you could waste a lot of money on a piece of clothing that will eventually be covered in skid marks. But not as much money as DC D.C.'s other suggestion: hiring a documentary filmmaker to make a movie about his life! No, seriously!

<![CDATA[Daily Candy's Positively Pedicure-Laden, Yeast-Infection Giving, Very Bad Weekend]]> Not sure what you're doing this weekend? Neither are we. But we're probably not going to do anything Daily Candy tells us to do. This is not because delicately pecking at tapas at the "cutest" new restaurant while reading the "latest" novel about a blah blah fashion editor blah blah socialite detective and looking down occasionally at our "freshly" pedicured feet in brand new "super" high heeled shoes, isn't appealing. We just did that last weekend, and the weekend before, and the weekend before that while following the Daily Candy Weekend Guide. Ha ha ha kidding! After the jump, Intern Cheryl runs through some of Daily Candy's more absurd and/or banal weekend activities, and fills the gaping cavity in their usefulness by suggesting some alternatives.

Daily Candy Everywhere: Eat overpriced yeast rolls.
Jezebel Weekend Guide: Eat yogurt; avoid carbs AND a yeast infection!

Daily Candy Boston: Get some henna tattoos at a "henna tattoo party."
Jezebel Weekend Guide: Buy a sharpie, paint your nails with it at a bar, where sharpie will magically enable you to pick up tattooed wannabe vandals that you harbor no illusions of ever actually dating in honor of National Singles & Unmarried Americans Week. Stupid but it will actually work.

Daily Candy Chicago: Buy greeting cards, become an instant witty asshole!
Jezebel Weekend Guide: Buy drugs, become an instant witty asshole.

Daily Candy Dallas: Pay $35 for coffee and a light breakfast, and the luxury to spend the morning sketching with others.
Jezebel Weekend Guide: Pay $5.90 and do this exact same fucking thing at Starbucks.

Daily Candy Miami: Show your third nipple and try out for the acrobatic freak sex show troupe at Spiegelworld.
Jezebel Weekend Guide: Uhhh, for those of you without third nipples, do cartwheels at a park and apply the acrobatics to sex and/or beer bongs.

<![CDATA[Riding The Daily Candy Train, High On Cocaine]]> We'll tell you what kind of candy they're giving out over at the Daily Candy: The crack kind! Today, administrative assistants and mumsy accountants everywhere recoiled in horror when they realized that the internet's biggest cheerleader for conspicuous consumption was NSFW. At Daily Candy Everywhere a (sexually) frustrated playwright imagines a conversation between the two guys in the Macintosh commercials about the OhMiBod, the vibrator that hooks up to an iPod and vibrates to the rhythm of the music. "Once they set a playlist, they can hop on the soul train and get off at Masturbation Station," Mac guy says. Um, ew. There's more stilted sexuality in the Daily Candy Chicago entry, where a writer extols a class about oral sex in classic Candyese: "We promise it won't suck or bite. (And by the end of the hour, neither will you.)"

There are fecal references in both the Dallas and London entries; whoever wrote Kids maybe kinda hates their children, Travel features a photo of a dog wearing a ridiculous contraption and plugs Gas-B-Gone, a "fart absorbing cushion" and Seattle's review of a newly opened diner is written to the tune of "Casey Jones" by the Grateful Dead. "Trouble ahead/lady in red/Ultra-fresh BLTs and chopped salads will knock you dead."

[Daily Candy]

<![CDATA[Alas Poor Cupcake, We Knew Thee Well]]> The day we never thought would arrive is here: DailyCandy has pronounced the death of the cupcake. Yes, after years of keeping it real (ca. 2000) and validating every Sex And The City obsessed Carrie Bradshaw-clone with talk of icing, sprinkles and the perfect moist little morsels, even they seem to think the baked good is out now. By this logic (since DailyCandy, is like the online version of the NY Times "Sunday Styles" section with regards to "trends", if DailyCandy says cupcakes are out, that might actually mean that they're in. Ugh. Now our heads hurt. And, uh, we kind want sugar. Anyway, how cupcakes are out (and yogurt is in!) after the jump.

DailyCandy Everywhere reminds us of that time we totally assured our best friend that the flower on her dinner plate was edible. Even though we weren't so sure. And then she got a stomach ache.

DailyCandy Atlanta is on crack if they think we want to vacation in Perry, GA. Some of us here are from Georgia. We can't be fooled. Lunch at the local Mrs. Winner's chicken and avoiding the Klan do not a vacation make.

DailyCandy Chicagoeditors are so weirdly plagued with I-Want-A-Baby Fever that they've turned a plug for greeting cards into an admission of their own baby-lust.

DailyCandy Los Angeles announces the death of the cupcake.

DailyCandy Miami wants us to eat candy instead. Is candy the new cupcakes? Or rather, was candy the new cupcakes 5 years ago?

DailyCandy New York suggests we replace cupcakes with yogurt.

<![CDATA[DailyCandy Says No To Lexapro, Yes To Lather]]> We were beginning to worry about the editors of DailyCandy. There were mentions of bacterial infections. Black Croc spats. Had they abandoned their Cosmopolitan-swilling ways, we wondered? But today's editions of the cloying, consumption-promoting newsletter illustrate that the girls may have their mojo back: There's shampoo laced with antidepressants! Chaufferred shopping trips! Psychics! Oh, and skinny jeans! (Ugh, aren't skinny jeans over? If not, could someone please make that happe already?). Today's Cavity, after the jump.

DailyCandy Everywhere thinks antidepressants should go in our shampoo, not our bloodstream.

DailyCandy Chicago suggests that Windy City women beat the heat by piling into a chauffered SUV with their girlfriends, booze, and a personal shopper for a full day of boutiquing.

DailyCandy Los Angeles tells us we're wrong if we think that someone who reads constellations in the universe is a quack and incapable of solving all our major life problems. That's what antidepressants are for!

DailyCandy Miami wants to see our asses clad in a muumuu.


DailyCandy Philadelphia
: Repeat after us: No. More. Skinny. Jeans.

Does DailyCandy San Francisco have a Jew fetish? (And do they think all Jews love food?)

<![CDATA[DailyCandy's Darkness Visible]]> Surprising, but it's been a while since DailyCandy editors have mentioned cupcakes, pink cocktails or any other chronic symptom of the girly scourge that was Sex And The City. Have they finally moved on to bigger and better things? Not really, but if the offerings on display today are any indication, someone on staff is sorta into the black arts!

DailyCandy Everywhere thinks we're S&M queens with money to burn. So hell, why not invest in black croc spats?

DailyCandy Atlanta seems more invested in mocking the speech patterns and colloquialisms of our native South than promoting some stupid owl pendant [Hey. I like owls. -Ed.] that was popular with women, like, oh, a year ago?

DailyCandy Boston thinks we're sinners. Because we eat.

DailyCandy Chicago thinks we're stupid enough to pay good money to have our coffee grounds "read" (yes, just like tea leaves) by some sort of psychic quack tasseographist. Over the phone.

DailyCandy Los Angeles gets pleasure (or financial kickbacks!) from the pain of our bad hair days.

DailyCandy Seattle has the hypochondriacs among us convinced that we're going to die a slow, painful, bacterial infection-instigated death from working at our computer.

<![CDATA[DailyCandy Wants You Fat]]> Like an anorexic best friend, DailyCandy gets no greater satisfaction than the sight of you stuffing your face. Mmmmm doesn't that fattening, carbohydrate-laden food look tasty? Mmmmmm don't you want some? But you're so skinny! You're probably skinnier than me!

Empty calories after the jump.

DailyCandy Everywhere thinks that music works better than pills for easing your problems. Ha. Fools.
DailyCandy Dallas reminds you that nuts are a healthy snack. Especially when they're coated with butter, sugar, and chocolate!
DailyCandy Dallas wants you to eat yummy chocolates even if, like, you'll then have "a long, long way to run to work those calories off." But you're soooooo undernourished right now.
http://www.dailycandy.com/article.jsp?ArticleId=31128&city=9">DailyCandy London called you a "lardarse." Right after they said you're "committing social suicide" and "have pubes down to your ankles." Ouch.
DailyCandy Los Angeles thinks that an entire store devoted to 70's pool party style is a meaningful contribution to society.
DailyCandy New York wants you to become a lardarse and is pushing a late-night cookie delivery service.
DailyCandy San Francisco thinks you get off on adorning your body with 18-karat gold and black diamond animal heads. "Yeah, they're on the pricey side," DailyCandy concedes of the taxidermy-inspired pins. How pricey, they do not say. We are sooooooooooo tempted!
