'Dyson Wants To Vacuum Your Pet'...My Pet Wants To Firebomb Dyson

Srsly, dudez.  He just told me.

Oliver asked for some detailed instructions on:

1. How he could join Al Queda.

2. How he could then convince Al Queda that Dyson is a worthy target.

I wouldn't tell him, cause terrorism is wrong. But he's so fucking freaked out by these photos, I'm not sure what might happen. And I'm so confused by them I'm not quite sure what to say.

Apparently Dyson is going to start selling this attachment to their vacuum cleaners that aims to remove excess fur and skin cells before they actually shed. Only that is achieved by VACUUMING YOUR MOTHERFUCKING DOG.

[COOL OR NOT COOL] Wall Decals

To be honest, the very idea of "wall decals" suggests to me, "Hey, I'm in college and I can't afford real artwork!"  I mean, really, why don't you just hang up a crooked poster of Sex & the City or something?

But then I see something like the photo to the left, and I think that in the right hands, wall decals could end up looking sophisticated.

[I'M OBSESSED] Painted Doors

I'm not really sure WTF is wrong with me, but there is just some design shit that I C-A-N'T get over. Like no matter what. I'm so serious.

Come back and talk to me in 20 years, and I bet you a million billion dollars I'll still be obsessed with painted doors. All of the doors in my apt/house/whatevs will be painted some glossy, dark color and you'll be like "uhm, aren't painted doors kind of 2008-2010??" And I'll be all "what the fuck is your point?? Annnnnd you need a facelift! BOOM"

Anyway.

In Search Of: Non-Revolting TV Stands

Sometimes dudes can be such stereotypes.

When my boyfriend and I moved into our new place last month, he insisted on buying the giant-ass TV of his dreams. He selected a 55-inch model, probably because he wanted to get something roughly my size in case I ever left him. Instant replacement!

Anyway, we didn’t own a piece of furniture large enough to support the television (it weighs SEVENTY-FIVE POUNDS), and I couldn’t find anything I liked. So, right now, we have it rigged up in the crappiest way possible. I have this old storage cube from Pottery Barn I got in high school that is strong enough to support the TV’s weight, though not wide enough. So we found an abandoned plank of wood to set on top of the cube and added a folding table from Ikea to put the cable box on. It looks AWFUL...and crazy...and will certainly fall and kill me or my dogs at some point.

Mad For Plaid?

Chic plaid, does it exist? After seeing this post on the Inside Source about plaid-y trends for fall, I decided to investigate.

I personally have a bit of a love/hate relationship with plaid. I feel like I mostly hate it, but also I think that's because it's often used in boring and expected ways (I'm talkin to you plaid shower curtain in a boy's bathroom with matching plaid hand towels and a bag of potpourri with a plaid ribbon). Oh and because people are using the cheap plaid shit instead of the chic plaid shit.

HOWEVER.

When someone does plaid right, I actually think it CANNN be super chic.

Here's what I'm talkin bout, Willis:
