i don't have a scanner

and it's as dark as the underbelly of a nutsack in my house (rain) but i wanted to share something with youz..
the december issue of food network magazine features nigella's home kitchen. i took some photos:

she is not a minimalist (thank god). she has 4 fridges and a whole lotta crap! i LOVE IT!
they also do a "get her look" page. which is so very lomino i can't even stand it (domino+lonny=lomino).

go get it hookers! i am doing her fairy lights in a jar thing for the holidays. yep.


pretty

that bathroom looks retreat-ish. like a place to hide out in and bathe away the bullshit. i would throw an old-timey radio on that vanity and listen to something sad like billie holiday and smoke cigarettes.

nice library. love all the mismatched chairs and open door...it smells good in here, like books and coastal cypress.

i love when a mirror reflects pretty. and cloches are always a nice addition to your decor.

i am unsure of the floor...are those gray rugs thrown down or is that something inlaid in the wood? either way it's nice and so is that tribal looking rug..everything about this space is delightful. open plan at it's best.

for me it's all about that tub and those goddamn moroccan inspired towels.

i am a sucker for a room that is ill defined. this is the room that as a little girl i would steal away to to dance or pretend it was my very own office or lab or hospital or general private quarters or plan my date with jason bateman..

cozy.

who doesn't love a big fucking anchor? this room is special.

all of this gorgeousness comes from sarah spongberg.

your new favorite show


tonight on comedy central a very VERY funny and cool show airs that i feel you must watch. it's called free radio. free radio started out a few years ago on vh1 and ran for 2 seasons. unfortunately it just wasn't a great fit. now, comedy central has picked it up and is running the second season again which is great news because YOU get to GIVE it a second chance. it airs after the colbert report at MIDNIGHT tonight and every monday night. tivo it if you must, but you really seriously need to watch. it's funny. it's the story of a dumbass (lance krall) who fills in for the head dj of a popular morning show after he rather suddenly quits. lance ends up being so bad and rude to the celebrity guests that he actually gets a fan base tuning in every week just to see what kinds of things he will say to them, the show is then dubbed 'moron in the morning'. here's a clip:

just thanks

many heartfelt thanks for all of your kind and supportive comments yesterday. it really does warm the cockles.
to quote the electrifying bryan adams...everything i do...i do it for yooooooouuuu.

jon douchelin

i don't think i am alone in my disgust for this guy. quite frankly when i watched this show before all the press on these 2 i thought he was kind of retarded. seriously, i really thought he might be mildly retarded. i mean he was kind of...slow? and i was always like awww...kate why you gotta be so mean to your retarded husband? now i see i was doing a great disservice to retarded people.
he is merely a douche of the highest power. he is lord douche. gandouche. the eye of saurdouche.
king theodouche, the voldoucheri...
anyway...more grand douchery here.

my new boss

how's that for fucking crazeballs?? allow me to refresh your memory....

remember the designtard series? remember when you saw dantard making goo goo eyes at the hot gay dude who came it to critique the madness of 3 recliners in a nursery?
so the hot gay dude is john gidding, an architect and designer and overall renaissance gay. well he contacted me several months ago and asked me if i wanted to write his blog for his new website. i accepted and we met yesterday and went over the details. first of all let me just say he is major eye candy. i nearly passed out due to the glare coming off his teeth. he is super tall like 5'15 or some shit. and tan. and...funny and nice and cool and...(gulp) talented.. he showed me some of his furniture designs which are very cool and modern and frank gehry-ish.
so..the website itself is dedicated in part to his new hgtv show airing in the spring called curb appeal the block in which he fixes up the facade of not just one house but a whole block. i watched a sneak peak yesterday and i have to say as far as hgtv shows go this one had a reality sensibility (i.e. unscripted, free form etc..) unlike some of the other cheese fest's that hgtv offers. john is warm, funny and a little nerdy on camera which always wins me over. i can't stand when people take themselves too seriously, it's such a turn off. it makes you judge their shit more harshly, no? anyhoo....there were promises of events i would attend, photograph and blog about as well as a few silly things i could post (there was talk of the penis chandy ) and coming to the set of curb appeal to perhaps blog about that. so overall i am pretty excited to actually be paid for writing! i mean i never ever ever EVER predicted that when i started MFAMB, and to be paid for something that i actually enjoy! plus to be called by the guy i was kinda razzing says something about the guy doesn't it? as i said earlier..it's CRAZEBALLS!!!!

so from my perspective as long as you write it all from your heart and use your voice and not a voice you think people want to hear and try not to bore the piss out of people you will get a job with a hot gay dude!
