NonSociety - as if!

My friend Annie sent me to this blog: NonSociety.Com. We spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure it out. Then we made fun of it.

It's this blog with three girls: the Dating Columnist -- Julia Allison who was a dating columnist in college and is trying to be the new Carrie Bradshaw; the Geekette -- Meghan who really isn't all that geeky and techie at all; and the Style Snob -- Mary who wears the dumbest outfits.

Three girls who are DYING to be socialites. Who gave up their jobs to blog about their lives all day. On a blog ironically called NonSociety. They say they hope to inspire their readers to live differently. Hm. My daddy isn't a millionaire, so for me to live differently -- aka: like them -- I'm going to have to be adopted by a different family.

Their schtick is "life casting" which is basically them sitting around all day posting stuff to their site. Sigh. I think the most important stuff I do all day happens AT MY JOB which is a REAL SALARIED POSITION and an actual MAGAZINE.

Here is an example of Meghan's (photo below) day today:


2:29 pm: posted a photo of cell phones and laptops she took of a storefront. Thinks it could be art. She is wrong.

1:34 pm:
posted that she thought she would send someone a Valentine's e-card.

1:27 pm: posted a link to a video on "how to pick out lingerie for your lady." Refrences fruit to cup sizes.

1:19 pm:
posted a video of her and her gal pals talking about the worst Valentine's gifts they've ever gotten. They are all dressed in shades of pink and red.

11:43 am: posted a link to a ridiculous auction they are having. What's being auctioned off? A night with THEM silly!

Here is a list of what I did today:


9 am: got into the office.

10 am: finished editing an article and laid it out in InDesign. Saved it and sent it to our graphic designer.

11:30 am: finished writing up my interview with Mr. American Pie, Don McLean.

noon: ate macaroni and cheese while going over the editorial calendar and scheduling a photo shoot for next week.

1:30 pm: headed out to UMaine to teach my undergraduate journalism class.

3:30 pm: returned to the office and created the 2009 Best Restaurants Ballot.

4:00 pm:
wrote this blog.

Need I go on?

Whatever, out here in California, our mini-dogs take care of our work schedules from their mini-purses that match our mini skirts as we are walking down the streets of Broadway shopping for designer lipgloss that tastes like sugar when we kiss our tanned and toned men, then we break for a a non-fat skinny mocha latte with a shot of soy, no whip, grande in a venti cup, and twirl our hair whilst winking at the cute barista. Yeah, that's right, and we do it all while wearing Gucci flip-flops to show off the pedicure that we got during last night's dinner meeting. ;)

I LOVE this photo of you, Mel. The problem with Nonsociety is that it's like watching a train wreck...I can't stop.
