Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae — The golden-assed Horsefly

January 16, 2012 – 11:33 am

As if 2012 wasn’t shaping up to be a good enough year already for HRH Queen Beyonce, first she has a (we’re presuming) beautiful baby girl, and then…she’s just had the highest of honours bestowed upon her by the, err, insect science people community: She has a horsefly named after her!

Not just any horsefly, a ultra rare, golden reared horsefly discovered in 1981 (The year of our queen’s birth) with junk in the trunk. It was discovered alongside two other horseflies, that are as yet un-named, but we’re just going to go right ahead and dub them “Kelly” and “Michelle.”

“The Boy Is STILL Mine, ho!” – Brandy and Monica Hit the Studio Together Again

January 10, 2012 – 12:34 pm

HOLD THE BLOODY BURGER PHONE!! The second and third (respectively) best 90s pop/R&B princesses, Brandy and Monica (don’t even bother asking who number one is, it should go without saying) are teaming up again on a new track for the first time in 14 years! Monica done did a tweet yesterday letting slip that she was up in the studio with her pal. SEE!

Other than the fact that I’m actually quite upset that they’re mates irl, I was secretly hoping they were still beefing over Mehki, I’m mostly stoked on this as I look forward to reenacting the song with my frenemy du jour, much like I’ve done with ‘The Boy Is Mine’ quite regularly since 1998, ASAP! So let us just take a moment to recall the majesty that was the last time they hit the studio together, shall we?

Let’s Get AutoWed

September 15, 2011 – 2:53 pm

At last, we are one step closer to becoming ‘full Britney’.  After already impulsively shaving our heads and stabbing a breh with our umbrella,  all we need now is a white-trash babydaddy and finally,  a hasty marriage to an old friend.

The AutoWed concept was created by ConceptShed and thankfully for us drunken bitches, only one is in existence,  at Marvin’s Marvellous Mechanical Museum in Detroit and as far as I know they don’t sell alcohol there,  so we’re safe for now…but concept shed will make you one to order.

The machine is modeled on a classic Cadillac with those smooth lines and classic Caddy pink colourway and it boasts a bespoke retro qwerty keyboard.  The machine comes with  music and a ceremony all pre-programmed,  and dispenses two plastic rings and a ‘certificate’ printed on receipt paper.

Hit the ConceptShed site for more info on the build and watch the video below to see a ceremony in action.  All we can say is,  we hope these don’t become the new quiz machines because we can’t face being the next Ross Geller.

Men, Here Are some Fun Facts About Women

September 9, 2011 – 11:00 am

Men’s mag Esquire asked some women to tell them some things,  things that their silly little boy brains might not have figured out by themselves. See,  men,  if you ask we’ll just tell you,  don’t assume,  that’s when you get things wrong,  silly. Highlights include…

Most of us would rather watch Entourage than Sex and the City.

—Aminata Dia,  22,  San Jose,  California

(true) And also…

Make your bed every day and change the sheets once a week. That vague goatlike smell guys get will remind us of our brother,  and you will be sleeping alone.

—Melinda Meggyesy,  31,  Seattle

(SO true!) And seriously,  that goat smell,  WTF IS THAT GOAT SMELL?! Once a week is a bit much though,  I don’t even change my sheets once a week (dutty),  does anyone?? Let’s push for at least once A MONTH for now,  yeah? Unless of course you’ve been smanging lots of hoes then in which case,  burn them. Daily.

Check out the rest over on Esquire (then get lost in a men’s mag lurk bubble).

Say Something Nice

September 7, 2011 – 1:00 pm

Well,  this made me cry a little bit. I’m going to put it down to a combination of being mega stressed at work and no one having ANYTHING nice to say to me,  PMS (lies! This is your “normal”  week,  Kirb!) (I’m so busted) and the fact that the last time I was in NY,  the majority of my time was spent at Union Square split between eating ALL of the food in that very Whole Foods and buying EVERYTHING in that very Forever 21 in the background there, and I miss it so bloody much.

That and it hasn’t stopped raining in like a week,  but if I had a megaphone I would well shout at you and tell you how pretty your umbrella is.
