Decor Demon, HGTV & Why We Should All Give A Shit

photo: Sarah Dorio (minus my stupid writing)Ok, so you know how "Bloggers are Here!?" Well, I don't wanna jump the gun or anything, but it *seems* like HGTV is kinda gettin that memo. Crazy, right??

I mean, first they choose Emily as the winner of Design Star and give her that kickass new show Secrets From A Stylist, and now they just announced that none other than DECOR DEMON will be blahgging blogging for them every week on their Design Happens blog. E-V-E-R-Y week, ppl. ZOMGZ!

And last week, while Nate Berkus was all busy ignoring bloggers, not asking bloggers for any of their feedback, not reading any design blogs and then pretending that he did, HGTV was busy planning a lunch JUST FOR DESIGN BLOGGERS. I wasn't there, but allegedly they asked people questions! And took note of opinions! And read our stuff all the time! I mean, who knows what any of it really means, but still: I'm givin credit where credit is due, and those HGTV btchz deserve some.

But here's the thing: since they're telling us that they give a shit what we think, and it *seems* like they're making efforts to produce content and shows that do a better job of speaking to us, its only fair that we speak our asses up and let em know if they're fucking shit up or doing a good job, right?

RIGHT.

Wherin I Talk About Myself And Ask You To Do Shit For Me

So one of the perks of having a website that kajillions thousands tens of people come to every day that sometimes you get to be selfish and ask for shit. Like right now, for instance.

So I went to that whole SXSW bullshit in Austin last year and had a pretty great time. And now next year, I want to run a sesh there with my bud @PatriceC...and so we submitted one: How to Be a Badass Online.

Domino Mag: Back From The Dead!

Look ppl, its years later and I *still* have not recovered from the fact that Domino Mag folded. Not only was the mag dead-n-buried, but Conde Nasty had the gall to take the content offline too.

Well, today came news that DOMINO IS BAAAAACK, MOTHERFUCKERS! ONLY ONLINE, BUT STILL! BOO YAH!

Strangely, they've given control of the Domino archives over to Brides.com. And while I'd rather get a root canal than accidentally come across any wedding related content, I'm willing to make an exception in order to re-unite with my magazine soulmate.

The content is being moved over by little wedding elves as I type this, but you can start to see some of it right here, RIGHT NOW.

YOU. ARE. WELCOME.
