This song is insane but as I sit here with my 15 month old niece, who freaking loves this, it is growing on me. I love seeing spoiled, happy dogs doing their thing, and these dogs are obviously very spoiled and very happy. And they have a theme song! They've pretty much "made it".

Much unlike many a magazine editor who recommends you buy all sorts of crap that they most likely got for free, your Jezebel staff doesn't get jack shit (other than books, unsolicited). And that's how it should be. But on our own time, in our personal lives, we still buy stuff. So this is Worth It, our daily…

If you're looking for a way to "sex up" your feet, allow us to introduce you to an interesting new product: Half Pretties! They are basically lingerie for your feet, and they will… ummm… cover up your disgusting toes? Or something? Here's how the website describes them:

Alexa Chung. Leighton Meester. Rihanna. J. Crew! Socks are afoot. Socks with heels. The problem? This trend can go horribly wrong. You might look like the Marc Jacobs runway… Or you might look like a childish, frumpy tourist. [Telegraph]

The new J. Crew catalog uses Portugal as a gorgeous backdrop to push awkward-length shorts, hideous shoes and icky socks. Vacation like an ugly American!
