I Have Talented Friends.

Have you checked out my friend Lenora Claire's new series doNUTS on World of Wonder TV?

(Click the image to get to the show.)

The series description:

On doNUTS, host Lenora Claire encounters the freaky, fun weirdos who hang out at 24-hour donut shops all over LA. In this first installment, Lenora visits Tang's Donuts in Silverlake, where she crosses paths with pervy late-night chess players and Silverlake's local celeb -- The Five Dollar Guy! Plus, Lenora offers her own savvy tip on how to ward off handsy drunk dudes...

You can also check out the write-up Richard Metzger did for Boing Boing.

If Lenora looks familiar, that's probably 'cause you've seen her portrait, shot by Marla Rutherford, as part of the USA's Character Project:

No One's Ever the First Anything on the Internet

A few of you have sent this to me. It's an incredibly sweet story about a guy gearing up to propose to his girlfriend via blog. The author asks everyone to write an entry about their proposal story and link back to the post.

Again, I'd like to reiterate that I think this is romantic and awesome and I think it's an honor that they're letting everyone be a part of such an incredible event. While some people still have this idea that we're sitting in dark basements at our mother's computers, I've found that the Internet has expanded my social circle, not diminished it. I watched Gwen and Joel dance salsa at their wedding reception. I watched the inauguration at Jessica Gottlieb's house.  I met my husband on the Internet.

MarcyWrites is asking everyone to blog their proposal story so we can all be a part of history - The First Ever Internet Blog Proposal.

So I'd blog about my proposal, except that it was via blog. In January, 2007. :)

Will's moved his blog from blogger to WordPress, but the original post is here (sans comments, where he clarifies yes, he's asking.) (Edited to add: Will found the comments! They're here.)

I accepted (and explained, since it came out of the blue) here.

I'm sure that we weren't the first, either.

So congratulations, couple-to-be.  Two years in Internet time is like forever, anyway.


Also, Will and I will be at Digital LA tonight. Come say hi!

V is for Vendetta.

We've got two more entries in the BetheCo-Host Contest, along with a second entry from Vintage Caveman. He means business, people. And not monkey business. Although monkey business would be awesome, because what's funnier than a chimp wearing a tie? NOTHING.

Galliano or Gygax?

I don't follow fashion. I'm mostly interested in personal style (on a budget!)

But this model from John Galliano's most recent show (via Jezebel) caught my eye:

Maybe next year's line will be inspired by the Fiend Folio?
