Hey guys!
In honor of the 4th of July holiday in the US, Heather and I will be taking a long weekend. We’ll be back posting as usual on Tuesday, July 5th — after all, there will be TONS of Wills and Kate Vistit Canada outfits to plow through!
Until then, enjoy:
– Did you enter our big birthday contest? You should! (This post, btw, should NOT count in your estimated tally.)
– I appreciate this article about the many, many reasons The Vampire Diaries is awesome. If you weren’t watching it, this summer might be a good time to catch up. I’m just saying. (i09)
– Even Chris Hansen has to admit that the fact HE might have just gotten caught up to no good on a hidden camera is sort of deliciously apt. If I were him, I’d want a t-shirt that read, “NOT A PREDATOR, JUST A CHEATER, I SWEAR.” (Celebitchy)
–If you’re as transfixed as the appearance of the many HAIR FEATHERS and EAR FEATHERS and FEATHER FEATHERS on Pretty Little Liars as I am, I think you will enjoy finding out what actual fly fisherman think of teenagers running around with lures in their hair. It’s kind of fascinating. (New York Times)
– Michael Bay movies in under a minute! (It’s just stuff EXPLODING) (Flavorwire)
– SCOTT SPEEDMAN IS ALIVE! ALIVE! And still REALLY HOT, you guys. Get that man a job! (Lainey)
– A montage of Jon Hamm cameos — or, as they’ve dubbed them, HAMMEOS. ENJOY. (Jezebel)
– I’m loving Wimbledon, as usual, and I’m also super proud that I got six out of ten correct in Slate’s “Match the Tennis Player to the Grunt” quiz. (Slate)
– Speaking of tennis, our friends over at Low Resolution are rating the dudes’ hotness levels. I call FOUL that Federer is not ranked high! FOUL I SAY. (Low Resolution)
– Still speaking of tennis, this AWESOME recreation of the infamous Nadal/Federer 2008 Wimbledon final….on paper. Seriously, it’s so cool. (Flavorwire)
– This fascinating, extensive piece about Amanda Knox in Rolling Stone is a) a good reminder to try not to get accused of a crime in Italy, and b) an equally good reminder that the writing in Rolling Stone is actually often seriously excellent. (Rolling Stone)
