I would like to state for the record that I am willing to do anything I can to continue this soccer underwear war. I will distribute propaganda, go behind enemy lines, become a double agent.
@labeled: I'm not saying they're not cute, but giving mixes "official" names leads people to believe that these dogs are somehow more special than the mixed breed dogs found at every dog shelter in the country and there's some reason to pay $3000 to a puppy mill or backyard breeder for them. I've got a mutt, I love him to death, I adopted him from a pound.
@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): When I read the plot of the Twilight books on Wikipedia (I figured that would be a faster and more literary way of learning the plot), and got to 'Renesmee', I laughed so hard that I snorted tea.
@SarahMC: I'm pissed at both Twilight and Mad Men for stealing my future children's names: Joan (maternal grandmother) and Isabella (paternal grandmother's middle name). Now what am I going to use for a secret baby name? Shayla?
As a middle American, I get a little touchy when people like Amber Valetta (coast dwellers, as I call them) talk about how nice it is. Like, I am glad on one hand that she isn't perpetuating the odd idea that everyone in the Midwest is an ignorant oaf with shrines to Palin and questionable ideas about evolution, but on the other hand it seems a little bit pandering.
Note that I haven't discounted the theory that I am just a total ass who will not give anyone a break. That is entirely possible (Possible now means probable).
See, my dog is adorable and very photogenic but she's a mutt and no dog line (and I'm talking something substantial like Orvis, not a prissy-pupster-in-pink clothing line) would ever use her.
MUTTS ARE CUTE TOO, you know. And less likely to have bone structure issues and genetic diseases!
@karmasutra: Yay for mutts! I loved my little mongrel girl. Ok, so she thought she could fight great danes (she didn't realise she was small), and she used to bury things and then forget where she put them and get all agitated, but my god was she a gorgeous little creature.
@karmasutra: Um, a "labradoodle" is a mutt. Don't let the stupid name fool you.[en.wikipedia.org]
However, if you can find me any evidence of "bone structure and genetic diseases" being less likely in mutts than purebred dogs I'd like to see it.
Right. A dog is officially better looking than I am and makes lots of money because of it. If they give that dog a PhD, I am throwing myself in traffic.
@badmutha: I am pretty sure that Bella the dog has better interpersonal communication skills than I do, and also probably has way better birthday parties.
@badmutha: Bella Dog's seven figure book deal will be announced soon, after which I will go on a rampage in which I throw kibble at strangers and babble incoherently.
Only $98? Why don't I own a pair of Uggs already!?
Oh, that's right. Because they're ugly. And they smell after you wear them three times. And for $98, I could get three dresses, six new pairs of underwear, a new umbrella and a goldfish.
Bucking the recession, Elle MacPherson's labradoodle, Bella, has been signed as the body of canine fashion line Dogside.com, for a "substantial five-figure sum."
That sound you hear is me sobbing into my student loans.
First Bella Swan with her sparklevamp whining... now Bella Dog with her big expensive modeling contract? I officially put a moratorium on Bellas. I say good day to you. I SAY GOOD DAY!
"her visible baby bump has been retouched out of the campaign to "respect her privacy,""
Yeah, um, sure. People are very concerned about privacy when doing a major ad campaign.
Why I love Chanel? I wish I could afford to love Chanel. I'd love it if I could own it!
Annnd Marc Jacobs homewear? I have no need for it, yet I want it. Kind of like Marc Jacobs, um, everything else.
@greengrey thinks the layout sucks/swallows: I had a crafty friend give me several Chanel logo stickers she had made, just for fun. I put one over the apple on my MacBook Pro for a sarcastic good time. A week later I attended a conference in Chicago and was sitting with my 'Book in the bar at the Hilton one evening to catch up on some work. Two women walked up to my table, pointed at my Mac and asked "Are they making these now?".
