Because it’s Friday, and why not? Top 3, list ‘em in the comments. Mine:
1. Blue States Lose (and Gawker in general, but this section is particularly hilarious). Example: “We don’t know what kind of disgusting French bestiality goth fetish videos this guy probably beats off to, but we do know that the world needs this douchebag like it needs a sober Pete Doherty.”
2. Go Fug Yourself, especially post-award show. (my opinion: Terri Hatcher’s Gaultier dress would have been absolutely gorgeous, had it not been see-through).
3. Overheard in New York. Example:
Man: Yo, the other day I see the F arriving as I’m coming down the stairs so I run in, just making it in on time. I hold the door for this girl behind me but I slipped and her head got caught in the closing door. She turned her head like The Exorcist and just looked at me for a second and then starting screaming. And then other people started screaming while I tried to open the doors again. The conductor finally opened up the doors and she stepped in…and stood right next to me…and stared at me until Roosevelt Island. I just got out there and waited for the next train.

Go Fug Yourself.
Hair metal ballads.
Reality TV.
You Knit What?
What Not to Wear
Obsessively checking responses to my articles on Damn Interesting.
Trolling for hits? Who? Me?
Fish
ER
Roxette
Linkin Park
Dungeons & Dragons
Bad, punny humor
That’s a lie, I don’t feel guilty about any of that. But other folks are sure to think I should.
Lauren: Hair metal ballads? Ouch…I’m not sure I’d admit that one…(yes, I know I have no room to talk)
I like ‘em singable.
Lauren, I like your picks.
Reality TV (Project Runway, Survivor but NOT any of that dating game crap)
Hair metal ballads (I wasn’t really old enough for this the first time around, but I had baby-sitters who liked it. And they were hot.)
Oh, and
Offensive comedy
1) overheard in new york – i’m obsessed
2) lost (i get made fun of at work for liking this show, but its addicting)
3) miss jones morning show on hot 97
Ok I *heart* reality TV too. And, btw, I saw Daniel F from Project Runway last week at Pravda. He’s a fox.
for reality shows, I’m all about Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters and American Chopper.
Of course, if I want to get women involved in the experience, it’s Animal Precinct and Animal Cops, though I’d hardly call those shows “guilty pleasures.”
ooh, i forgot a key guilty pleasure, in the reality tv genre:
- the surreal life
all of vh1s celebreality crap are strangely entertaining.
Go Fug Yourself
On-line window shopping for clothes four levels out of my budget
Effete dancy pop (see: Suburban Kids With Biblical Names)
And Teri Hatcher’s dress is ok, but it’s got nothing on India.Arie’s. Holy shit.
1) I Don’t Like You In That Way.
2) Cliff Yablonski Hates You (Not updated for almost a year. -_-)
3. KillSomeTime.com
*feels really, really guilty about Cliff Yablonski, and had forgotten just how little of it he could take before he had to leave* -_-;
ABBA
24oz Steaks
Wishing leprosy on Ann Coulter
If loving GFY is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Oh, this is bad….
Maury “babyddaddy” shows (like watching a car wreck; I just can’t look away)
Go Fug Yourself/Manolo the Shoeblogger/Defamer
Creme Brulee Haagen-Dazs
oh, the Manolo! super fantastic!
i’d have to say:
1. the fix page on salon.com
2. real weddings from the knot (that girl crying about how it’s going to cost $1,000 “just*sob*…to*sob*…hem*sob*…it”? freaking priceless.)
3. the o.c. (though i’m not sure how much worse it can get before i have to break up with it. it’s getting seriously painful.)
Thayli, my current MSN name is “if loving paisley is wrong, I don’t want to be right”. There’s no shame in loving GFY. It’s the shit.
Oh, and Magis. I share your love for ABBA, but with none of the guilt.
1) The two pieces of chocolate-covered Vermont Fudge in every pound of Whitman’s chocolate samplers. (Yes. I buy chocolate at eight dollars a pound for my favorite two ounces of it. Well . . . and the chocolate whip. And the vanilla butter cream. So, maybe six ounces.)
2) Kim Possible. Or, more specifically, Shego, the sidekick of Kim’s arch-nemesis Dr. Drakken.
3) Letting my mind wander three quarters of the time towards elaborate fantasies regarding any of the following: Gul Dukat from Star Trek: DS9, Severus Snape, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Legolas, the afore-mentioned Shego, Goliath or Thailog or Elisa from Gargoyles, Selene from Underworld, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Worf from Star Trek: TNG. (Not all at the same time, of course.)
I would have put “spending hours driving around in my dad’s car for no reason other than to drive (and listen to music),” which, given the price of gas, certainly qualifies as a guilty pleasure, however, I’ve spent so much time stuck at college with no car that this has fallen out of the Top Three.
Kyra, have you seen the new Underworld movie? Because the guy who plays Marcus, Tony Curran, is my Other Boyfriend.
I’m actually thinking of dropping a good chunk o’change on good tickets to Dressed to Kilt JUST so I can see him shirtless and be-kilted in the same room.
1) Cute Overload; DailyKitten; ;
2) Jr. Mints
3) Buying more and more yarn!
Tapetum, what’s You Knit What? I’ve become a knit-o-holic so I’m very interested.
Yes, Zuzu, I have. However, for some reason I couldn’t keep straight who was who. Several of the guys were hot, but none fantasy-inducing . . . yet . . . perhaps if I see it again? Wasn’t really paying attention to the guys, more to figuring out the plot and wondering why the hell Selene wore boots with big stupid heels when she spent so much time running around and fighting. You’d think as a vampire she could maybe intimidate the companies who make Gothic boots into making some with decent heels. (Yeah. Hot guys onscreen and I’m thinking about shoes. Wasn’t too bright that particular day, was I?)
Oh, and add Lucius Malfoy to number 3 on my last post. And Bo Duke from the original Dukes of Hazzard (repeat: NOT the movie).
Dressed to Kilt? WTF is that?
It’s part of Tartan Week, which is a celebration of Scottish culture that takes place in New York in April. Dressed to Kilt is a fashion show/fundraiser, where celebrities and socialites and designers and whatnot model variations on kilts. Tony’s the shirtless guy on the main page dipping Muffie Potter Aston (scroll down).
You…mean…I’m…not…alone? *weeps* :)
Honestly, I couldn’t tell you why, but I’d give it an 85.
No guilt about ABBA here. Why, I even think that Kristina från Duvemåla is a mark of musical genius that would shock those who dismiss the quality of composition talent from the boys, and I haven’t heard a 3rd voice to match what the girls managed to achieve.
Also, I’ve even been known to, on occasion, actually put ABBA – The Movie into the DVD player when other people are in the room :)
Suddenly I really like TangoMan. ;)
TangoMan, a true ABBA fan is guiltless and shameless. Commendations. I don’t get people who can’t love ABBA.
(To my shame, I haven’t seen ABBA – The Movie.)
KnifeGhost,
To my shame, I haven’t seen ABBA – The Movie
Tsk, tsk. I’m not sure whether they’ve actually released the DVD in North America but it’s coming. I picked mine up in Europe. For a quick fix, there’s always P2P.
When you watch it, well it’s super campy with a lame narrative woven throughout, but the concert scenes rock. It was filmed during their Australian tour and the whole nation went nuts. People lining the highways and roads all the way to the airport. The first concert in Sydney, open air, was delayed because of a record thunderstorm but the audience didn’t want to leave, so the concert went on in the middle of the downpour and ABBA actually ran a real risk of being electrocuted.
Seeing them like that makes you respect their decision to turn down a Billion dollars for a reunion tour because you see them in their prime, and that’s how they want to be remembered. It takes a certain strength of character to turn down that amount of money in order to keep alive a legacy.
You know, I think it was a confluence of luck that brought them together. They were all stars before they met each other. Then the romances begin, and then they start to perform publicly. I think that people really connected with the couples in love making music fantasy. I think present-day fans are also pretty impressed by one of the women becoming a princess.
a true ABBA fan is guiltless and shameless.
Yeah, but we’re really pushing the limits of guilt and shame when we get into watching their music videos. They were a major pioneer of the format and when you only have a budget of $1,000 and knock out 2 videos in an afternoon, it becomes kind of painful to watch and to admit that you can see through the camp to enjoy Bang-A-Boomerang.
They have the video on-line at the Abbasite.com, where I just learned:
Kyra, if you pay close attention, she is wearing flat goth boots when she’s doing the running/fighting. It’s only when she is standing around or they show her feet as she lands that she’s wearing the heels….’cause I thought the very same thing but noticed the difference in several scenes the 2nd time around.
oh, btw, just realized i didn’t close my tabs up there so here’s what my #1 was supposed to be….
Cute Overload; DailyKitten; Cats in Sinks; Bee Dogs
Hopefully those come out right this time
