JONATHAN ADLER KNOWS WHAT THE HELL HE'S TALKIN BOUT, WILLIS

Loved this talk from the 99 conference from interior design mega daddy, Jonathan Adler.

And though he didn't talk much about it, I would add: be original. Yeah, I know it's hard these days when everything has been done 8 million different ways till next Tuesday, but at least trrrrrry. 

Ya, dig?

I mean, are they just purposely trying to make this so bad, Big O will just have no choice but to go ahead and pull the plug? Cause otherwise, how the fuck did 20 people sit around a table during a production meeting and decide to put on this snotty 11-year-old "fashion designer"?? How?

Watch hurr.

BLOGGERS ARE HERE: A Song For Nate Berkus

Dudez.

Jenny from My Favorite and My Best (i.e. that blog that's WAY the fuck better than either mine or yours) wrote and performed a song inspired by the events of #nateday or #nateday921 or #nategate.

And it's, perhaps, the best thing I've ever seen in my entire fucking life. There is singing, and dancing, and writhing seductively on beds.
