Obsession of the Moment: “Betches Love This Site” dot commmmm

Betcheslovethissite.com has been online and hysterically read by all our favorite betches for a while now but they continue to impress … If you have ever felt like there is too much positive influence for women in our society today, this site is your new best friend. “Betches” are girls who are pretty, thin and cool. And if you are a Betch, or even sort of a Betch, you will indeed LOVE this site. They are proficient in all the “abbrevs” you thought only you used, tell you how to handle the “dud” in your group, first dates, landing pros (as opposed to ‘bros’), and more. They explain how to never question yourself, dress like a slut, fulfill your inner desire to be shady, fake smile, avoid working, drink bottled water ONLY, be smarter than everyone else, and more. Obviously their idol is Regina George and even their tagline reads: “So you agree? You think you’re really pretty?” (character and line from Mean Girls for the newcomer).

Truffle of the Day: Google gives out early invites to Google+ (pronounced “Google Plus”)

by: Our Little Truffle Hunters - July 16th, 2011   Filed under: FASHION, Trend Reports (non-fashion), Truffle of the Day
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare


Google+ is just like Facebook, but not Facebook – which is exactly what everybody wants anyway. Even more appealing, it is one less step that Facebook if you are on gmail or a gmail hosted server (like we are) because you are already logged into Google+ (making it basically impossible to not use) and they already have added your gmail contants for you – all you have to do is sort them between your circles (ie. friends, acquaintances) and people you want to “follow” and you can create your own circles too … Even Mark Zuckerberg has jumped on this bangwaggon.  Click to Continue Reading

Trend Report: A Brief History of FOUR Loko

by: Our Little Truffle Hunters - November 14th, 2010   Filed under: FASHION, Trend Reports (non-fashion)
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Kirsten with a FOUR Loko

Now banned in 12 states, FOUR Loko has swept college campuses and the US in general about as fast as if it were legalized cocaine in a can, leaving a wake of related accidents and deaths behind it … I texted with some of our fave LA Natives to get the LA scoop on FOURLOKO!

So what’s the 411 on Four Loko??

A lot of places in L.A. had to take it off the shelf, so it was said you had to go East of La Brea to find it. That’s not true tho because we called Pink Dot on Friday night and they delivered it!

The latest states to ban it are Michigan and today New York; the Twitterverse went wild with tweets like “Four loko banned in new york we needa go outta state and stock up!”

One can of Four Loko has the same amount of caffeine as a tall coffee from Starbucks and is 23.5 ounces and tastes just as lovely as Redbull. People like it because one can does the job at $2.50. Click to Continue Reading

Darling readers,

Have I missed something? What’s with this animal headdress trend?
Upon first glance of people wearing something animal related on their head at Coachella, I just thought that they were messing around and having fun + possibly on something. Now, everywhere I look I’m seeing it!
If you see any images that you think would make this post complete, please send !
Naturally, my friend Kelli (right), was ahead of the times.
