  • Site to See: Dear Blank, Please Blank

     
    "We had this idea for a website, mostly because Hans had a bad experience. So we built it, and now you're here... Welcome." That's Hans, as in Hans Johnson, presumably written by Jared Wunsch, the co-founders of the website that is about to eat the rest of your afternoon. Dear Blank, Please Blank is the best time-waster I've found in months (though I am particularly adept at this task).
     
     
     
     
    Since these pictures ARE essentially reading... I'll keep it short. The content of Dear Blank, Please Blank is user-generated, and pretty self-explanatory, which means that, while predominantly hilarious, it can also be dumb. The best part: because we all want to feel like our opinion matters, DBPB offers these eloquent options for your clicking pleasure: How Dare They, You're a Douche, Hilarious, I Like This, and Umm, WTF?!. Because sometimes the writer deserves a high-five, and others, a slap to the face.
     
     
     
    And if you're really, really loving this, you can purchase these letterpressed prints from Etsy, in collaboration with Sapling Press (though half of them are just photshopped by DeMilked).
     
     

     
     
    "Submissions are moderated by Jared's cat Louie. If your submissions aren't being approved, it's because Louie is now accepting cans of tuna fish as bribes for approvals (four cans usually gets one submission approved.) Alternately, you can try rewriting your submissions, only this time make them funny."

    Also, Attack of the Cute. Same guys, different site.

  • We're Lovin' Demetri Martin's "Important Things!"

    If you haven't caught Comedy Central's Important Things With Demetri Martin, then you've been missing out on some serious laughs.

    From law school drop out to popular comedian, Demetri Martin is well known for his stand up routine Demetri Martin. Person and his recent film, Taking Woodstock.

    Now, with the launch of Important Things in 2009, Demetri has become a weekly staple in living rooms across the country.

     

    The show features various sketches and skits in which Demetri puts on different personas. With his diagrams, drawings, guitar solos and spins on the ordinary, Demetri's style definitely appeals to those with a quirky sense of humor.

  • Creative Holiday Party Ideas

    We all have certain expectations of what will happen at your typical holiday party: sipping eggnog and nibbling on sugar cookies in the shape of Christmas trees, exchanging presents in Secret Santa swaps, enduring annoying questions about your boyfriend from your aunt and grandma. (Well, maybe that's just me.)

    Whatever your typical party looks like, I think it's high time we shook up the holiday season with a bit of creativity. A major fan of dressing up, I'm always looking for that next big event to get clever with your look. Why not the holidays?

    IDEA #1:  A Mad Men Themed Party


    I just love this idea featured on Basket of Kisses, a blog devoted to all things Mad Men. As a work party idea, the Arkansas Advertising Agency, Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods all dressed up as characters from the hit drama. Everyone looks just like their Mad Men counterpart, down to a tee.

    I think this party would translate perfectly into a holiday theme. What could be more glamorous than a 60's updo and a high class cocktail? Dibs on Joan! If you love this pic, check out the Mad Men Holiday Card idea on vintage hair and makeup guru, Lauren Rennells's Bobby Pin Blog.

    IDEA #2: Ugly Christmas Sweater Party with Family Portraits


    The ugly Christmas sweater party idea has been growing in popularity during the holiday season, and believe it or not, I have yet to attend one (hint, hint). It's fairly easy to do if you think about it.

    Visit your local thrift store and find the ugliest, cheesiest, most hideous Christmas sweater you can. Some may have smiling reindeer and snowman. Some even have twinkling Christmas lights and tinsel. The more outrageous, the better!

    And to top it all off, why not take a fun group photo to send out to all your relatives? I can't help but smile when I look at these two portraits by Seattle-based photographer, John Keatley. Visit his blog to read the funny stories behind them!

    Overall, the idea is not classy by a long shot, but hey, we're always dressing up to look better, so why not make yourself look as awkward and dorky as possible. There's definitely some charm to that.

    Happy Holidays Lulu*s fans! What cool holiday party ideas do you have?
