4:37 am - so wanky it's illegal!
|
mydemand
|
Lime Crime Makeup is a line of eyeshadow and lipstick by fashion blogger Doe Deere (Xenia), mainly known for its strong and unusual pigments.
Recently Lime Crime's come under fire for allegedly repackaging pigments by other companies such as Beauty of the Earth and TKB Trading. As more and more blogs post their own comparisons, others pop up to speak about past customer service experiences, including a post from Lillian who claims that Xenia called her mother an "asshole" for buying a dress of hers that was hemmed with duct/gaffer tape.
There is apparently a long history of Xenia's shenanigans, sparked by comments on an article on Lime Crime in the Examiner. The comments haven't all been positive (a lot of them have been deleted), but most damning is a comment allegedly by Xenia calling her customers stupid for choosing her overpriced products.
This saga inspires Lipsticks and Lightsabers to start be part of the Mineral Makeup Mutiny (edit: this comment by ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) peonypavilion explains more) which highlights and supports companies that make their own mineral makeup. Meanwhile, there's been some investigation into her lipsticks, with Xenia's post on making lipstick (as well as the later one on making eyeshadows) attracting strong skepticism.
Yesterday, Xenia posted a video speaking out against the "haters", which rubs Lilian the wrong way as she feels she's unfairly being considered a liar. Xenia's response to her was (to Lilian's surprise) civil and composed; however, the same can't be said of Doe Deere commentor Mary, who thinks Lilian's only got a grudge because she's fat and that Lilian's on a power trip. (edit: Lillian's video about her issues with Xenia.)
Edit:
Xenia's entry with her video is closed to comments! (The ones already posted are still there though.)
eyeshadowsluts' posts about Lime Crime, as mentioned by eleutheria.
Blasts from the past via meanestbastard: The duct tape dress (Xenia's comments have been deleted), Where has the raffle money gone?, "violation of copyright", the mystery raffle winner, her journal's gone friends-only, relisting things that didn't sell. Oh and also Internet & copyright law fail.
Edit 2:
An insider's look at LBG drama. (The post itself is drama-free but does give some background.)
Edit 3:
A lone objective voice about this whole shabang-a-bang.
I'm somewhat surprised Xenia hasn't found this yet and threatened to take me down! does ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) otf_wank do anon comments?
Edit 4:
I posted a non-wanky version of this on MetaFilter (mainly to highlight the video of Miss K/Aromaleigh making eyeshadow) and they call shenanigans:

9:07 pm - My word count is pastede on yay, back for 2009!
|
ladylauren
|
Some of you may remember this wank from last year, revolving around a certain individual who decided to claim he'd 'won' NaNoWriMo by copying and pasting pages from Wikipedia and so on into Word and then using find and replace until it was a 'completely new and unique literary work'.
Well, he's back. With his profile page proudly boasting of last year's 'achievement' thusly:
My debut with NaNoWriMo was in 2008, when I completed a 2.5-million-word draft titled "The President Who Exploded." This work is what I call a “non-linear literary collage.” It consists of materials I mined from various blogs, chat rooms and fan fiction sites. I'm a word rustler. I prowl the talk pages of Wikipedia, the reader comments on io9.com and various venues frequented by anonymous bloggers. I shamelessly plagiarize their words -- even their misspellings and gramatical errors -- then transform the stolen content into a new and unique literary product through a series of computer-assisted modifications (cut-up engines, Markov generators, search and replace functions, etc.) and combinations with recycled content from my own writings. These are techniques I first explored in “Marienbad My Love,” the world's longest novel. Released in 2008, this 17-million-word creation also sets records for the world's longest word, sentence and book title.
Which, notably, is copypasta from his own website. Self-plagiarism must be the literary equivalent of sitting on your hand until it goes numb before masturbating.
Modus operandi announced, he trots into the 'Reaching the MILLION ...... NaNoWriMo 2009' The following exchange ensues:
marienbadmylove: I logged 2.5 million words last year. I'm swinging for 999,999-plus again this time. Let the good times roll!
Kateness: you know I don't think your words count, on the basis of our disagreement last year.
BUT
because the rules explicitly say I can't call you a cheater, I won't, because god knows that rule has helped me in the past, and we'll just leave it at that. If you think it's a win, it's a win (Just kindly keep your hands off any excerpts I may post, and my blog if you're so inclined), and that's all I'm going to say about this.
marienbadmylove: Ah, but how can you stop me? *snip some drivel about William Burroughs*
Dragonchilde (forum moderator extraordinaire: OH NO YOU DIDN'T *cites rules stating why he can't threaten to steal other Wrimos' writing*
marienbadmylove: *more gibberish about Burroughs that is kind of really not applicable in this situation at all*
Rest of responses: *dogpile without explicitly calling him a cheater* The best of which is Angolera's: There's a huge difference between writing 2.5 million words and using 2.5 million words.
marienbadmylove: *disappears from thread*
But where is he now? Oh, here he is, announcing his intention to hit 50,000 words on Day One to give himself a 'little cushion' on his way to the million. Please note he never states he's going to write these words, and is yet to return to the thread to pass comment on whether he is typing these words or using a voice recognition system. Funny about that.
And it's not even November yet...
Edit: Classic response from painkillers regarding the need of someone shooting for a million to sleep: Sleep? SLEEP? sleep is for writers, I'm a conceptual artist I am. ga ga goo goo ga ga, gin gang gooly, see it is the conception of the words that matter, not the words themselves. i don't need to sleep, because i don't use my brain -- for anything.
Son of edit: He reaches 50K!
current mood: Dramatic
current music: Crowded House -- 'There Goes God'

1:29 am - Ugly knit hats provide hope for the masses!
|
wankismyfandom
|
Knitting Daily featured the Champagne Fizz Hat in its free patterns section.
Kristin@37 kicks off the comments:
I love to knit. I will knit practically anything. I will not knit this.
Too foul by far.
Some agree; others decry her negativity and ask where her sense of fun has gone. ShuriuL explains that the hataz are interrogating the hat from the wrong perspective:
Ladies! Everyone's missing the point! This hat was probably inspired by Diane Von Furstenberg's Fall 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection, which had lovely knit sweaters, knit tunics, knit scarves, and knit coats. Every model wore this hat with variations. The pompoms were much bigger and the overall silhouette made the models appear to be wearing hats similar to men's Renaissance hats. This collection was made touching and whimsical when most designers on either side of the Atlantic had chosen to make monotone, aggressive, boxy, conservative clothing that was more masculine and warrior-like than feminine and patterned. It was a seminal collection and spoke of hope, optimism, and fun when last year's collections came out in February and people were more depressed and scared than they are now.
As for me, I just hope I'm not on LynnR@15's gift list:
Oh, aren't some people just too precious for this rough world?
This hat is terrific fun! Not for everyone to knit, or wear. It is a technically simple knit, with plenty of scope in yarns and colour for some individual, creative expression. Daring older people will delight in shocking their stuffy peers and younger people will think it a cool novelty.
I shall knit loads of these for Christmas prezzies, for young and old alike.
Long live eccentric knitting! (Yes, I'm going to shock my peers!)

1:06 pm - Your bushes look like stupid lollipops
|
tetradecimal
|
If you need to borrow money from your neighbor but didn't get along with him too well, would you:
(a) Catch him on the street and ask him politely if he'd lend you a few bucks
(b) Knock on his door with a nice big slice of pie
(c) Tear out a sheet from your notepad and write a rambling, incoherent note to him in which you call him a whore and insult his shrubbery?
Link to the original note!
A transcript:
Carl
You make me sick. Your fancy house all that driveway, wowwy so long. Vacation wherever you want. Your bushes look like stupid lollipops, who does that anymore other than spoiled jerks with no taste.
I thought we were friends, when I had a job, right? I asked you to lend me money you said no. I was drinking, so what. I wasn't using so much drugs anymore. So what I had tires on my yard whats wrong with that? Those girls weren't hookers, they were friends much better friends than you, you're just a whore, a male whore. A more.
I can't stand you. You make sick.
Please I still need the money. Will you lend it to me? I will remove the tires, also the dishwasher.
Your friend friend

10:01 pm - Epic Smackdown!
|
visp
|
So, for those of you who were blissfully unaware of who Orly Taitz is, allow me to shatter the last vestiges of your faith in humanity via wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orly_Taitz
Orly Taitz is an Orange County, California-based dentist and lawyer who is a leading figure in the "birther" movement which challenges whether Barack Obama is a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as President of the United States; in addition, she promotes a number of other conspiracy theories both related and unrelated to Obama. She runs a non-profit organization called the "Defend Our Freedoms Foundation".
Choice quotes of hers about Obama include " "I believe he is the most dangerous thing one can imagine, in that he represents radical communism and radical Islam: He was born and raised in radical Islam, all of his associations are with radical Islam, and he was groomed in the environment of the dirty Chicago mafia. Can there be anything scarier than that?"
Yup. Her most recent project has been representing a soldier who did not want to be sent to Iraq b/c she felt that since Obama wasn't a real president, he couldn't tell her what to do. And thus it begun
So most of this is in Judge Land's beautiful opinion (which I strongly reccomend you read) but it's 43 pages of glorious smackdown, so I will summarize from it and cite.

6:50 pm - If a marathoner runs outside of Boston and nobody's there to hear it, does it deserve a purple bar?
|
ruslan
|
It's the first (mini)wank of NaNo 2009! *pops champagne* Tiny, considering that the wankery is contained entirely in RiddleMeThis like some kind of nuclear radiation coffin, but passably amusing.
Okay, you all know what National Novel Writing Month is, right? It's an informal contest where the goal is to write a 50,000+ word novel in the month of November. You're not competing against other people and you don't really get anything if you "win" (aside from a feeling of accomplishment and a little purple bar beneath your forum name) but it's competitive enough that some people get really touchy over what constitutes a victory. Some people think the goal is to write a novel, some people think it's just to get 50,000 words down. The general consensus seems to be that as long as you're not doing this you're fine.
User chet-a-box posts asking:
I'm 90% sure I'll be writing a non-fiction book about my passion for giant pandas.
Is that allowed?
There are three or four responses, primarily by a staff member (Dragonchilde) saying very nicely that nobody's going to stop anybody from writing what they want, but *technically* it wouldn't really be the point of NaNo seeing as how they define a novel as a lengthy work of fiction. (Of course it should be noted that NaNo is welcoming of flexible approaches to the contest. They have a NaNo Rebels forum specifically for people who want to do things like write short stories or screenplays for their challenge. Additionally, the rules state that if the writer considers it a novel, they consider it a novel too). chet-a-box seems a little disappointed but takes it rather well and it's a polite, respectful, wankless thread. The end!
Well, no.
RiddleMeThis posts a thread in the NaNo Rebels forum entitled NaNoWriMo's Discrimination Against Creative Non-Fiction, saying that, essentially, non-fiction should be allowed to count as a NaNo victory because the state of our nation demands it.
( I didn't think you guys discriminated against pandas. )

12:45 pm - When banning someone from a community, it's a good idea to make sure you've actually banned them.
|
gusty
|
abandonedplaces is a community for taking photographs of... well. Abandoned places. rhodamine is a frequent poster on said community, and somewhat infamous for not always posting things that are necessarily abandoned.
It all started a few days ago when cymbal_rush took it upon themselves to express a very strong opinion of rhodamine by making a new post to the community: "Dear rhodamine,
This community is dedicated to "abandoned places", not "random pictures I took while walking around on railway tracks in the boroughs". You have this habit of posting solitary pictures of things that clearly aren't of abandoned places, and always with a link to a particular external web site that merely re-displays the whole photo. You're clearly not here on Livejournal to do anything other than drive traffic to a web site you co-own (I mean, that's all you use Wikipedia for, too, right?), and I'm positive that I'm not the only one here that is getting tired of your spamming. So please, knock it off.
For a sense of what we're collectively interested in around here, have a look at the recent amazing posts by shktgun, villy_barankin, dedushka_nomto, seventreehouses, and many others."
There's both agreement and displeasure that cymbal_rush chose to use this public avenue to express their opinion, but the accused does not make an appearance. A day afterwards the mod of the community, jj_maccrimmon, makes a post announcing rhodamine has been banned and locks comments.
However, the REAL fun starts shortly after when poindexter makes a post to the community simply saying "It's been fun!" with the header 'Bye!'.
( Let me ride that FLOUNCY FLOUNCY! )
ETA: And now rhodamine's comments on the post have been deleted.

6:29 pm - I doubt your committment to edginess
|
notjo
|
Once, long ago, an author released a book unto the world. And this book was considered to be awful by many many many critics, to the point where much parody was made of the author, the book, and the fans. This mockery ramped up when a movie was made, and even more people were introduced to the author. And, of course, all truly "hip" readers turned up their noses, refusing to call that... that... tripe... literature.
I am, of course, talking about Dan Brown.
Over at Literary Tattoos, Loosma writes:
I love Dan Brown, particularly his Robert Langdon series and I have huge respect for him and his research for his new book The Lost Symbol. I'm reading that now and I'm having a hard time putting it down but there are some great quotes in here. I keep wanting to highlight them and come back because sometimes I come across a sentence that hits me hard just because it relates to me in a way. As do everyone when they tattoo a quote or lyric or whatever on their body
Anyway, so really if any readers of those books have gotten a tattoo relating to the plot or through some quote in there? Especially puzzle lovers? lol
( Cue all the literary snark you can imagine )
I just want you all to know that I hated Dan Brown before it was "in" to hate Dan Brown. I bet it's now ~edgy~ to be scholar who loves Dan Brown for the plot, and I totes want to be ~edgy~. Dan Brown Forever! Go Robert Langdon!

11:57 am - The Great Internet Bra Debate
|
zyna_kat
|
How dirty is your bra?
Someone sent a letter to Dear Prudence asking if his girlfriend was normal because she's worn the same bra every day for two weeks. Prudie gives her usual inadequate and perplexing answer, starting with:
Perhaps your worries about hygiene arise from watching too much soft-core porn in which women get in the shower and soap their breasts for extended periods.
Reader comments range everywhere from ick:
I always wear a clean bra each day, just like I wear clean underwear EACH DAY. I've never heard of such a thing in my life as wearing the same clothes every day for weeks on end, especially not undergarments. And no, I'm not "filthy" rich. I grew up in a single wide trailer with extremely poor, hardworking parents, who taught me the value of SOAP and daily bathing.
to double standard!
Am I the only perosn who sees the endless gender-based double standard in society today? If this question was posed by a woman with a boyfriend who wore the same boxers for a week, the response would have centered around the boyfriend's level of evolution.
to several comments about how bras are expensive and wear out in the wash, bras don't get as dirty as undies, several comments asking how the guy knows she doesn't wash it, maybe she has several bras that look exactly the same, and there's even an informal poll asking how long people wear bras between washings. One of the best answers to the poll:
15 minutes. i have to take it off before me wife comes back

10:46 pm - Because it's so like being pro-choice!
|
evening_rose
|
Sometime over the weekend, someone snuck onto private property and killed and dismembered a nine-foot alligator that had taken up residence in a local business owner's pond. The property owner has posted a reward for any information that could lead to finding the poachers, and now the local humane society and a couple of other groups have added to the reward.
This does not sit well with some people.
A few choice segments behind the cut for the linkaphobes.
( Reason Number 234897235926349 I want to move somewhere else! )
It seems some people just don't realize that they already lost the argument and any credibility they might have had. I'm just waiting for someone to break a jurisimprudence law, really. The sad part is, I probably have to deal with one or more of these morons every day at work.
Just to show that we aren't all idiots here, there are commenters showing more common sense than this, and some snarkers calling the especially stupid ones out on their stupidity. One of the snarkers calling marandan out on his bullshit is actually my mother! :D! She's nine levels of awesome.

2:02 pm - No one wanks as hard as knitters do. Except maybe spinners.
|
lady_ganesh
|
Blogger Sharon Pelletier writes a satirical post about a local spinning event at her library.
Not everyone is impressed.
At this point, I don't feel that you are a decent person because you failed in being mature enough to go outside your comfort zone, and instead chose to call names.
Though there is still some disagreement in the ranks:
Knitting "networking" sites like Ravelry have congealed knitters into a writhing, slimy glob of Bitch that ooze across the internet wielding knitting needles and a smug sense of superiority.
76 mostly angry comments later, she posts a follow-up explaining that no, she was trying to be funny, she does not think PETA needed to be informed, and she really does not think spinners are witches, either.
Reaction so far is mostly positive, though you never know with knitters, spinners and even those rebellious crocheters.
ETA a verb. Verbs are important.

11:53 pm - Seattle vs. Bad PR: FIGHT!
|
ilpalazzo
|
Ah Seattle, my wanky home.
This one's just a little niblet, but it is a wank so perfectly formed in miniature that I can't help but show it off.
fuzzinit makes a post in the Seattle comm advertising his little home-based business featuring high-tech spy equipment and self-defense weapons and, apparently, chastity belts. Screencap here. fuzzinit, in so doing, breaks a handful of comm rules and is told so, and begins deleting comments which harsh his groove willy-nilly. O noes! Post swiftly disappears.
Helpful community member creates second post where people can freely discuss fuzzinit. With breathtaking efficiency and elegance, fuzzinit goes through the Seven Stages Of Wank straight through I DIN' DO NU'IN to a really nifty double flounce in about five posts. But hey, despite doing everything wrong, he got hits! And hits are what's important, right?
...The Seattleites are still chewing on him a bit, since despite the fabulous flounce he's still trying to cling to the moral high ground. And on that moral high ground is a big ol' knife and night-vision goggles!
ETA: Huzzah, I post this and then go off hiking for a day and come back to discover I've completely failed! Links should be fixed, on the off chance that you have not already taken advantage of helpful commenters covering my ass.
ETA 2: HOLY CRAP THERE'S A SEQUEL! More like a parody. Maybe an homage. At any rate, stutts whips it out and the love flows like wine. Our city-hopping small businessman is revealed to be a true nationwide phenomenon!

7:49 am - But what are your thoughts on homosex?
|
bizzle
|
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.
The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.
Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!
( But wait! There's more quotables. )

7:06 pm - HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FAT
|
mydemand
|
Mars from Chicken Dinner Candybar does her regular Fat Love Friday and includes Marie from Agent Lover.
Marie is put off by her inclusion on a "fat" list and tells Mars so.
Mars offers to take it down. Marie refuses. Instead, she proclaims on her blog, "oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale no!
Chaos ensues in the comments about fatphobia, body acceptance, fashion sense (or the lack thereof), and kissing-up commentors.
Is Marie brave or is she overreacting?
(I'm in the comments and I know Natalie [the 'overreacting' link], so I am slightly involved in the wank aftermath. It's pretty obvious which side i'm on.)

9:46 pm - gala darling: trust fund visionary?
|
mydemand
|
Gala Darling is a self-described "visionary" who is famous mainly for having pink hair, being an "international playgirl", starting the Things I Love Thursday meme, and writing articles about living a fabulous life and being fashionable. Her audience consists mainly of young teenage/young adult girls who swarm her comments both on GalaDarling.com and on her personal site.
Gala's story is that she quit the 9-5 life to be a full-time blogger, and that almost all her income comes from blogging professionally through ad sales and sponsorships, as well as freelance writing. However, lately there's been a rash of comments on articles mentioning her claiming she is a fraud and really is a trust fund kid with rich parents. People who bought one of her podcasts about starting a business were disappointed at the lack of information on how Gala earns her money exactly.
It all comes to a head on her cover article on Cut Out + Keep, where various people - including someone claiming to be Gala's former good friend, speculate that she is either a trust fund kid, uses boyfriends for money, or is a high-class prostitute. In the meantime, Gala's devoted fans stand by their idol, claiming that "it's illegal to post untruths on the Internet" and that her critics are negative people with no lives. Meanwhile, Gala's denied the trust fund story; her only comment on her income currently is "it's none of your business".
(disclaimer: I'm in the comments of the Cut Out + Keep article as Tiara.)
edit: added a couple more links, including a direct link to the "illegal to post untruths" comment.

Last time I posted something from writers_guild I met my BFF, eggie1978. I wonder if jay_alonzo will be my friend?
'cause, see, J. Alonzo got this mega-amazing idea, so he wrote a chapter that he wanted reviews on. It's all like, political and shit, and it's about the country of the Middle East, and there might be a boy who flies in there, and he's so very good at what he does that he can single-handedly make manga a genre instead of a medium.
( Read more... )
Really, with a description like that, how can you not go check it out?
So what's the problem, right? Well, J. Alonzo miiiiight not have done any research on the very epic subject he's trying to write about. Psh, like anybody would actually notice.
J. Alonzo concludes that those big mean meanieheads who think he's too white won't rest until he quits writing entirely.
BUT NOT until he's posted about it on his blog, which you may not want to go to unless you have a fast stop-that-fugging-music finger.
( Read more... )
But really, J. Alonzo is laughing. Because he has a hit counter. And bold tags.
As a bonus, Trillian is still crusading to rid the world of the evil that is writers_guild and Winterfox.
ETA: As the OTF chapter of the official J. Alonzo bookclub, I urge you to not miss the Companion #1. P. Baddy out.

3:51 pm - Pet intelligence wank
|
tree
|
The Guardian: Cats outsmarted in psychologist's test.
You can imagine how well this goes with the readers. Besides the predictable flood of pet owner butthurt and anecdotes of clever / stupid cats / dogs / mice / owls, there are plenty of genuinely funny comments as well as a side wank on the validity of test methods and statistics, obligatory calls to talk about world hunger instead or discuss the intelligence of various nationalities, and, naturally, Hitler and his pets make a bonus appearance. I think one could play classical wank bingo in here, but some of the stories make it all worthwhile.

10:38 pm - Don't call me Liz, BITCH.
|
angstymcgoth
|
Possible political_wank? I'm posting it here, since the "politics" are largely incidental. So-and-so asks Jim McDermott's secretary for an audience, and addresses her poorly ('Liz' rather than 'Elizabeth'). HOLY SHIT, you did not just go there!
A few weeks ago, the assistant e-mailed Becton seeking a meeting with McDermott and a client, JPMorgan Chase. Days later, the assistant checked back in and unfortunately began the e-mail with “Hi Liz.”
Becton curtly replied, “Who is Liz?”
When the assistant wrote back with an apology, Becton turned up the heat. “I do not go by Liz. Where did you get your information?” she asked.
The back-and-forth went on for 19 e-mails, with the assistant apologizing six times if she had “offended” Becton, while Becton lectured about name-calling.
Please, please check out the email exchange hosted on Politico.
