[COOKED] Intervention-ware

Cooked is a recurring column where obnoxious foodies can revel in various kitchen gadgetry porn. 

Last Christmas, my friend bought me a beautiful set of small side plates.  Each had beautiful illustrations on them, featuring one letter prominently. I loved them even more when I realized that the four plates spell out "FUCK" when lined up (hey, I never said I was classy). 

But these plates from Fish's Eddy are even worse, imploring you to feel guilty about everything you put in your mouth, with phrases like, "Do you really need that second helping?" and "For the love of God, stop eating." 

Basically, when you eat off of these plates you'll feel like a supermodel does every day of your life.  Does anyone know some pro-ana sites that I can send this link to?  I'm sure it'll be a hit.

Too far?  Sorry.

[Design on TV #4] The Golden Girls

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 #4: The Golden Girls

Let's face it.  It's kind of crazy that a show that could be described as "slutty grandmas and their hilarious antics" could be so popular, but I know I'm not alone in saying that this show is seriously one of my favorites of all time. 

The geriatric hijinks of Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sofia proved that a bunch of broads in their 50's could make America laugh—consistently—for seven seasons.  And thanks to reruns on Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel, we ain't never gonna forget these ladies, long after they all die off (WATCH YOUR FUCKING BACK, BETTY WHITE).

Buckle your seatbelts kids, cause now that the goose feathers have been wet vac'd up, it was a good ole fashioned Dicks v. Chicks battle royale tonight on ep numero dos of Design Star!

"Julie blew away like a feather." HA! Nice one, Michael.

Anyway, after the dust settles, all the designers scurry off to get their new assignment. Not before Nina takes a fire hose filled with bitch and soaks the shit out of everyone in the "Penthouse" though.

A Rainbow of Crazy

Have you ever seen those color co-ordinated bookshelves and thought to yourself, Ugh, that is so stupid, the people who do this to their books are a whole lotta crazy.

Yeah, um, me too.

So how come I found myself arranging my books by color tonight? It was one of those out-of-body experiences; my husband is out of town and I'm at the point of pulling out a glue gun and bedazzling my jeans. Or maybe the cat.
