Because it produces exchanges like this one. Which blow my unhealthily-L.Ron-obsessed mind.
@TheEllenShow: On today’s show, Lindsay Lohan tells me the truth about her breakup with Samantha Ronson. http://bit.ly/yjnqG
@samantharonson: @TheEllenShow oooooh- oooooh- i wanna know!
@sevinnyne6126: @TheEllenShow tell me all the deets!
LOL!!!!!!!!
And to think that when Twitter first got popular I asked myself, “Why do I even need this thing?” The horror!

(Did you really need to ask?)
Also added a lil widget on the left sidebar for ya. Now you’re in the loop.
I don’t care what you think about Twitter. If it’s good enough for Rachel Maddow, Kathy Griffin, and MC Hammer, it’s good enough for me.

…we just really love cake.
You’re probably wondering how we got it to look like that. Well… we just touched it. JK!!!!!
Actually, Erin and I went through the extremely labor-intensive–yet gratifying, in a womanly sort of way–process of “baking”. Not my preferred method of creating foods (Measuring exact amounts! Baking for exact times! Wondering whether it’s “done” or not! The perils of high-altitude baking!), but I think the results were worth the slavish hours spent in the kitchen. And considering the fact that Erin was involved, I’m thanking my lucky stars that neither the cake nor the kitchen ended up in flames.
The recipe comes from surprisingly entertaining foodie blog The Omnomicon. (Mad props to Virb for suggesting that I “make this cake and blog about it”.) Now I’m not usually the type to read blogs about foodstuffs, but I have to admit that this one stands on its own as worthwhile reading material. Case in point: the author’s recommended occasions for serving the rainbow cake:
- A child’s birthday
- Your mom’s birthday
- Coming out to your conservative parents
- If you’re a lesbian, they’ll be thrilled that you won’t be forgoing your feminine kitchen duties.
- If you’re the kind of gay dude who makes cakes for your parents, they were probably on to you anyway.
You’ll note that the original recipe is low in both fat and sugar. Well, that just doesn’t sound like cake to me. If I’m going to eat healthy cake, I might as well drink decaf coffee or the “reformulated” version of Sparks. Besides, if god wanted cake to be healthy, he wouldn’t have created butter and sugar. So in order to avoid blashpemy (and healthy eating), Erin and I modified the recipe to include heart-stopping (or in sugar’s case, quite the opposite) amounts of those ingredients.
Such a momentous cake-baking should not go un-photo-documented. So allow me to walk you through our gay day in the kitchen:

Those of you who love/are lesbian vampires (*cough*Alex) might enjoy this:
Haunted Hearths & Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories ! Omg awesome. It’s about time people realized that ghosts can be gay, too. Who do you think haunts the dorms at Smith College? Or the streets of downtown Baltimore? Or their BFF/ex-gf’s apartment (Dana-style)?
If you are scoffing/snickering at the idea of lesbian ghost stories, let me ask you a question: what could be scarier than a ghost with ugly shoes and a lot of feelings?
“I can’t move anymore…I’m a beached whale!” Rebecca Romijn tells Page Six magazine on being preggers with the twin girls she’s expecting with hubby Jerry O’Connell. [E! Online]
Um... no.

Who didn’t love The Facts of LIfe? Four gals living together at boarding school, having cheesy girly fun–not to mention cheesy girly drama–and talking about feelings (instead of making out with each other). Um… GAY! So, so gay. Those are truly the facts of lesbian life (right Alex?).
Therefore even if you find it alarming that the show has inspired a porno called The Dirty Facts of Life, to be released November 18 (mark your calendar!), you can’t tell me that you find the “plot” of the film completely implausible.
“[...] a kinky and wild twist on the relationships between the girls of the Eastwood School and their lesbian housemother Mrs. Garris. The girls get scared when they suspect Mrs. Garris of going straight after a visit by the plumber. Together they devise a plan to win her back to her lesbian roots by seducing her. Throughout the day Mrs. Garris defends herself against their sexual advances in the name of good housekeeping. But in the end everyone wins in a triumphant orgy.” [Village Voice]
Indeed. One can only hope most of the action takes place in Mrs. Garrett’s bakery, Edna’s Edibles. I bet Jo thought this day would never, er, come.
