Photoessay o’ the Day: the Eight Phases of Goatse

I’m just going to assume you know what I’m talking about, because after all, we’re all adults on the internets and we have been around a turn or two, didn’t just fall off the novelty USB device truck, we’ve had it in the ear before.

So. Goatse And The Eight Phases Thereof: a photoessay

A phenomenon known as “goatse” has taken the internet by storm, in what has become the fad from hell that just won’t die. Don’t know what goatse is? It’s a picture, go look it up, can’t miss it. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the goatse is…you must see it for yourself….

And when you do…

The first phase

Phase 1: Shock
“OMGWTF!” *MINIMIZE……*

 

all the way to:

Goatse phase 7

Phase 7: Enchantment
“Only on teh intranet! What a delight!”

 

And beyond!

makeover for raincoaster

Me! ME! ME! ME! ME! MEEEEEEEEEEE!

Well? What do you think of my new look?

Aw, who am I kidding? I love it and don’t care what anybody else thinks, I’m sticking with it. This is a sentiment with which I am intimately familiar, having been a fan of olive green and iridescent purple nail polish since before Madonna wore black. Mind you, the only reason I wore nail polish is that I bought it to paint my lead D&D figurines, and figured I might as well do something with the leftovers.

This blog makeover, however, has a much more elevated history. The preternaturally gracious (and flirtatious) Southern Belle Stiletto Girl became possessed by the spirit of anarchy and empowerment and gave me the CSS upgrade for my birthday, so the look of the blog was mine to tinker with. With which to tinker. Whatever.

But I was a-skeert.

Cue the highly evolved, naturally talented, supernaturally generous and, apparently, workaholic devblog, who emailed me out of the blue, saying more or less, “Hi, I know you like dark themes, and thought you’d like this one I found. It won’t work on WP.com, but you’ve got the CSS upgrade and I don’t mind adapting it so it works perfectly with that, so how would you like me to do that for free?

Uh, ch’yeah!

Et voilà!

Now watch me break it.

The Cthulhu Shoe

Cthulhu shoe

Fresh from the Manolo comes news of the co-option of one of the greatest shoe designers in the world. Surely it cannot have been an accident that this particular meme manifested itself at this time. Mighty Cthulhu has penetrated even unto the workshops of the maestro of shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Americans = derivative

Oh, fine, raincoaster posts about wearing her cat around her shoulders. What happens next? Well, obviously, the Yanks have to ramp it up. They are so bloody competitive! Always gotta ramp it up. No way am I doing nekkid cat promenades!

Nekkid cat-wearing.

This is a good vid for those days when Fiona Apple‘s perkiness drives you crazy and you decide it would be a good idea to commission Gulag Archipelago: the Musical! Actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg has been rich, famous, and talented since birth, so obviously she’s got a lot to be depressed about.

Actually, if I had an accent like that I’d be depressed too.
