One of our hilarious readers from iloveboyswhosparkle.com sent us these snow photos. She’s in Baltimore right now, and it pretty much sums up the weather there (and everywhere else back east). God speed.

Quick go to this site to prepare for The End!
I love how the snow storm that’s hitting the east is being dubbed end of the world names like “Snowpacalyse,” “Snowmageddon” and “The Snow Rapture.” Okay that last one I made up. But you have to admit, the terms the news has been using to describe the storm are hilarious. It’s like something you’d use to describe an abusive relationship:
Batters
Pulverizes
Pummels
Chokes
Wallops
Paralyzes
Slaps <–seriously??
Is the storm wearing a wifebeater too?
And now, funny pictures of cars buried in snow, just because:
Even this weather man is freaking out! 14-22 inches people!!!

Who is this kid??
So evidently Justin Bieber, who I still don’t understand where he came from, and Ludacris did a song together called “Baby.” There’s a combo I never saw coming, especially after listening to Ludacris all these years with his amazing lyrics like:
Cant turn a ho into a housewife
Hos dont act right
Theres hos on a mission, an hoes on a crackpipe
Hey ho how ya doin, where ya been?
Prolly doin ho stuff cuz there you ho again
Its a ho wide world, that we livin in
feline, feminine, fantastical, women
Not all, just some
You ho who you are
Theres hoes in tha room, theres hoes in tha car
theres hoes on stage, theres hoes by tha bar
hos by near, an hos by far
Thankfully he left the rapping all to Luda. But I can’t wait for the Biebers to spout off lyrics like “My diamonds are reckless. Feels like a midget hangin’ from my necklace.”

Caught ya looking 
Well, there’s no naughty, nudey pics here but unfortunately for a certain Australian banker, his naughty, nudey pics that he likes to look at while “working” were broadcast live from the bank’s trading floor during an onscreen interview for Australia’s The Seven Network TV. Check out the vid…
It cracks me up how oblivious this guy is. At first you’re watching and you see him pull up these curious looking pictures, but you say to yourself, “No, there’s no way. He’s not that dumb.” And then man oh man, that third picture pops up and you’re like WTF buddy? A little subtlety please?!? And the look on his face when he figures out the hot water he just landed himself in….priceless. What makes me laugh even harder is that Jeff works on a trading floor that looks identical to this one and they do live broadcasts there all the time for CNBC. I always see him walking around in the background doing various things, (Way to work that camera honey!), but I’m totally going to keep my eye out now for some naughty shenanigans!
Feast your eyes on the upcoming cover of Vanity Fair. It’s a spread that the magazine does annually to feature who they believe are the up and coming female actresses in “young hollywood.” So what do you think? Does it look a bit odd to you? Do you feel like something’s missing? Well, you’re not alone if you do. A downright uproar has occurred over this little cover shoot and its “lack of diversity.” Apparently this is the second year in a row that the magazine has been slammed for the stereotypical group that it has chosen for it’s cover. Yes, they’re all thin, somewhat dough-eyed, and very, very, white. Not just Caucasian-white, but like Cullen Vampire family white. They look like they all went swimming in a pool of bisquick.
Thoughts? Feelings on the matter? I’m personally a little jazzed that not a single one of them is tan. Chalk one up for the pale girls! Woot, woot!

Does anyone else get fed up with CNN’s “video reports?” Sometimes when I’m catching up on the news of the day I get super angry when I click on an interesting news headline hoping to read a great story and I’m faced with yet another run of the mill news reporter giving the same old on screen news report. Even better, I’m forced to wait for his freakin’ report to buffer before I can even get the inside scoop. You know what I’m talking about. And so does this guy. For your enjoyment, here’s an entertaining viewpoint on just how boring and predictable our broadcast news has gotten.

Usually I try to keep this blog lighthearted and fun and not get into too many controversial issues beyond who’s the hottest Twilight stud or which Anthro dress is cuter, but I couldn’t overlook what happened today and since it’s half my blog, I’ve got to share a piece of my mind.
The Supreme Court’s ruling for unlimited political spending by corporations is really quite terrifying. No really. People are calling it a “dark day for Americans.” Images of Wall-E came to mind. Yes I said Wall-E. You know, when the Earth is run by the corporation Buy N Large and the world goes to crap and all the humans have to move to space. Yeah, well my mind jumped there when I heard this news. You may laugh, but think of the ramifications.
Under today’s decision, insurance companies, banks, drug companies, energy companies, whoever will be free to each spend millions of dollars of corporate funds to elect or defeat a candidate – this means that they can essentially buy influence over the candidate’s positions on issues of economic importance to the companies.
How in ANY way possible is this good news for Americans? Who wants a country run by Exxon?? I don’t want my president’s decisions to be based on what benefits some corporation. What happened to a government of the people, by the people, for the people?
That’s it. I’m packing for space.

Ok no I’m not, but I would be if I wore designer Miguel Caballero’s clothes. They say he designed the suit that Obama wore to his inauguration. You can buy his impenetrable fashions at Harrod’s for a near impenetrable price tag. This polo shirt for instance is $7200. But hey, you can’t put a price on life! Caballero’s fashions are able to withstand Ak-47 rounds and 9mm rounds as well. For an extra fee you can also get protection from knife stabs.
And I love their marketing. For “high protection,” you can be shot by a min-uzi and look fashionable! Don’t believe me? Watch this video of a guy getting shot while wearing one of his designer leather jackets.
