For my Tumblr Dumb Tweets @ Celebrities, I search Twitter for a celebrity's Twitter name to find people who replied to them with inane crap. I haven't fully fleshed out my theory of why people do this (other than just "people are idiots"), and it hasn't really been thoroughly examined in a NY Times Styles section piece fully about how all of a sudden people actually believe they're friends with celebrities through Twitter. Imagine back when people would send in actual fan mail letters through the mail to movie stars. Now they're under the delusion that famous people actually are interested in them, and there's this whole weird subgenre of people asking celebrities to follow them back (see: waitingforbeiber.com).
So this morning I wanted to see what people wrote to Snooki from the Jersey Shore, and what I found was everyone who dressed up as her for Halloween was sending her TwitPics of themselves in their costumes.
And so. Here is just the very tip of the iceberg of people who send Snooki messages with their crappy cell phone cameras of themselves in Snooki costumes. These were all collected from about a 30 minute period of time, people are at this moment continuing to send her these photos all day.

What Not To Be For Halloween (Again)
I'm lazy, so I'm recycling this Halloween post from 2 years ago:
Look, I know that anonymously judging other people on the internet plus 25 cents will get me a phone call. I know I can't actually change anyone's minds if they have it set. But let me please, please implore of you: DO NOT BE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING COSTUMES THIS HALLOWEEN. They are played out. A lot of people have beef with the idea of "sexy" costume like sexy nurse, sexy panther, sexy cop, etc... Look, if you're going to dress as a sexy witch, there's no advice I can give you about how cheesy it might be. God bless you if you want to take one day of the year to look extra slutty. I have much bigger fish to try with these costumes which purport to be clever and culturally savvy. Here they are:
Rollergirl from Boogie Nights: You will only remind people that you don't look as good as Heather Graham. It's a bad idea to do a "sexy" costume that's modeled after someone way sexier than any real life girl is.
Freudian Slip: I remember reading in an interview with Julia Stiles in 2001 that this was her Halloween costume. I know it's an easy last-minute costume, but do you really want to cop Julia's stile?
Richie/Margot Tennenbaum: C'mon. This isn't even easy like the "Freudian Slip", so you can't have that as an excuse. This is just super played out on top of being borderline lame to begin with.
The girl from Pulp Fiction: This movie is 14 years old (!), and this costume has been done about 14,000 times. It also usually involves fake cocaine makeup, which is a real pet peeve.

Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset
I don't want to talk shit about life behind it's back, because I'm not a fake person. But I have to say that when I know that people are already dressing up as "zombie Snooki and JWWOW", and it's only October 26, I want stick a dirty maxi pad under life's pillow and write it an anonymous note telling it everyone says it sucks.

I made a new blog
I'm pretty pleased with myself. It's screenshots from Facebook status updates of people talking about how much they love their boyfriend (we all have someone like that on Facebook who drives us nuts). Please check it out: I Don't Care About Your Boyfriend.

Pumpkin Milkshakes
I hate the fall. HATE IT. Hate "sweater weather". Hate getting my old sweaters out of the drawer and realizing that I never dry cleaned them at the end of spring and they smell like a thousand Indian restaurants. Hate the days you don't know if it's cold or hot when you leave the house so you over or under dress and are either stuck wearing a jacket on a 75 degree day or a bare legs on a 35 degree night.
But the one thing that I like about fall is the abundance of pumpkin flavored food and beverage items. I love the pumpkin latte from Starbucks and the pumpkin donuts at Dunkin Donuts. This weekend I even had a milkshake made with pumpkin ice cream in this adorable mom-and-pop ice cream parlor with the whole old-timey soda fountain, and it was fantastic.
Wait, why was I just thinking about pumpkin milkshakes?
