[WHERE I BLAHG]: My Favorite & My Best

Each week we'll pull back the curtain, and give you an insider's look into the lives of some of your favorite bloggers with 'Here's where I blahg.' This week: Jenny from My Favorite & My Best.

In the world of design blogging, you will find loads of peeps with great taste, pretty sites, beautiful photography and killer ideas...but much to my dismay, almost none of them have a filthy mouths. Which is why I was happier than Lindsay Lohan with a 40 of of Mad Dog and a cocaine spoon when I discovered MFAMB. Jenny is a craigslist ninja, a Design Star recap superstar, and a non-apologetic proponent of the word fuck: "I don't trust people who don't cuss. They are weird" [COSIGNED]. Go read her site now or else.

[COOKED] Brooklynese Cawffee Tawk

Cooked: where obnoxious foodies can revel in various kitchen gadgetry porn.  

When I was in college, I had a bunch of roommates who were Italian.  And by "were Italian," I mean, they were American and lived to castigate people for not saying Italian words correctly.  It's not "moz/er/ella" it's "MUTZARELLLLLLLLLLLLL."  Bitch, please.  Have you ever even been to Italy?  YOU'RE A FRAUD. 

Anyway, making fun of accents is fun, faux or not, and this Brooklynese Cawffee Tawk set from Fish's Eddy does all of the work for you.

[GIFTED] Father's Day

True story: my family calls me the "gift whisperer." If you need to buy a gift for someone, here's some shit that might actually work (you're welcome).

Ok, look: I could put together a whole thoughtful, creative list of shit you could potentially get for your Father's Day gift from a crapload of interesting, unique well curated stores online. But let's get real: IT'S WEDNESDAY.

And since Father's Day is Sunday, unless your ass is shelling out $40 for express shipping, you need some crap you can buy locally. So if you're as lazy as I am, sit back and peep some ideas for quick, easy, non-sucky Father's Day prezzies that you can all find at your friendly neighborhood mall.

[HANGING TOUGH] Louella Press Prints

Hanging Tough! Where we feature cool shit you can hang on your walls—from original paintings from young artists to crazy tapestries that we find on some sketchy site that outsources from India, we want to ensure that your walls will never go bare.

Celebrate your city pride with these cool (and at $32, crazy affordable!) prints from Etsy shop, Louella Prints. 

Admittedly, they've got some douchey, preachy prints that I can't get behind (I will NOT ever hang prints that say "Be Nice and "Say Please" anywhere in my home— EVER), but the ones that are location-specific are pretty awesome. 

People who are into typography as art—rejoice!

[Design on TV #3] 30 Rock

Design on TV is a new recurring column that allows TV fanatics to step into their favorite show's world by offering up a list of real-life items that will allow you to trick out your place in that show's signature fashion.  Some people call it "homage."  Some people call it "sick."  We call it "entertaining."

Design on TV #3: 30 Rock

When Tina Fey accepted an Emmy in the show's first year, she thanked her "dozens and dozens of viewers."  That's the kind of self-deprecation and irreverence that: 1.) makes everyone love Tina Fey and 2.) makes everyone love 30 Rock.

Everyone knows that 30 Rock is based on Tina Fey's own experiences as a writer on Saturday Night Live.  We follow Fey as Liz Lemon, head writer at TGS on NBC.  In the beginning, Lemon was often thwarted by her high-powered executive boss, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), but now they're buddies and they have the best boss/employee dialogue in the history of television (as in, "Hey, look at this video of a panda sneezing!  How adorable, right?  YOU HAVE TO FIRE 30% OF YOUR STAFF").  I could ramble on for hours about the hilarious hijinks of the folks over at 30 Rock, but let's just get to it.
