Random Dude Wants to Buy You a Starbucks Coffee

Here's some good news, dahling... App developer Jonathan Stark wants to buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. What's the catch? Nothin'. 

He's posted the barcode to his Starbucks coffee card online so that anyone can get free coffee using his account. There's a Twitter account for the card, and it tweets when the card is used or when the balance is depleted (which happens frequently). Some generous folks are contributing to the fund. Awwww... tender moments! People aren't so bad! 

How to get your free coffee: 

1. Save this picture on your Smartphone

2. Go to Starbucks 

3. Order a coffee

4. Check the card’s balance via Twitter to ensure there's money on it

5. If funds are available, hold the pic of Stark's card in front of the barcode scanner.  

6. Enjoy your coffee. 

Here's a close-up of Stark's card.

Fab Alert!

 

 

 

Ever wish you could be privy to some of the ridiculous and totally shallow conversations at Conde Nast, the superpower of magazine publishers, and home to Vogue magazine? 

 

Somebody is eavesdropping in the Conde Nast elevator and posting the overheard comments on Twitter... and it's faaaabulous. 

 

You must check out the Twitter feed for Conde Elevator, which has amassed over 13,000 followers in just three days.

Rise, Apes! Kick Some Ass!

Horrible writer's block tonight, dahling. Evil! Thus, I took two hours off and caught a flick with good ol' Brian Banks.

We saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Since we saw the 2001 Planet of the Apes remake together in the theater, we figured we'd keep the fire burning and catch this new Apes flick tandem, as well.

This time, I nearly walked out of the theater because it was too tough to watch. The protagonist ape, Caesar, gets totally f**ked over repeatedly until it's nearly unbearable to witness. However, as the title connotes, things turn around... and, boy, do those apes rise. They bring the wrath like nobody's business, honey!

Rise, apes! Teach those humans the right way of doing things! Riiiiiise!!!

I heart Caesar.

Beard Mania Continues!

Beard is the new black, dahling.  

Click here to check out pics from IFC's new reality series about competitive facial hair growing, Whisker Wars, which airs August 5.  

Here a beard; there a beard; everywhere a beard, beard. Do I need to grow a beard in order to remain relevant? Sheesh.

This Scandal: Too Many Things

OK, here's a fab new scandal for you, children. I am so in love with this one that I just might have to go ahead and deem it best scandal of the week right now... and it's only Sunday, mind you. We have six more days ahead. There could be many, many more scandals (and hopefully, this will be the case). My money, however, is on this juicy little tidbit, because that's how fabulous it is. It's waaaay too many things. Ready? Off we go!  A Vermont man was found passed out in his truck on an interstate median. 

His BAC was .332. Over four times the legal limit. 

He's a cop. A corporal, in fact, with the Winooski Police Department. BAM! 

He's been placed on sick leave by Chief... wait for it... Steve McQueen. 

I rest my case. 

Read the original story via WCAX here.

Let the joyous news be spread: Billie Burke (AKA Glinda the Good Witch) is still certainly dead... but it's her 127th birthday, however. That didn't rhyme at all. Whatevs.

Fab Alert!

Introducing... Swallowable Parfum.

They're edible perfume capsules, dahling. No more dabbing, spritzing, spraying. Just swallow the capsule and smell fabulous all day. It's a genetically unique scent.

I love this so much that I'm not even sure what to do about it. Totally enchanted.

Coming soon!

Happy Peteburnsday

No, that is not a pic of Cher, freshly post-op from a regular tune-up. It's Pete Burns. 

Don't know who Pete is? You might recognize him from this old pic.

Yes, he is the founder of 80s sensation, Dead or Alive. Now, his job is to be fabulous and get waaaaay too much plastic surgery. 

Pete, I am crazy about you. Happy 52nd birthday. You are among my favorite freakies. You make the world a better place for people like me, dahling.

I think Pete expressed his plastic surgery affinity best in his Daily Mail interview earlier this year: "People redecorate their homes every few years. I see this as no different," he said. "Changing my face is like buying a new sofa."

You are a high-ranking member of my so-fab-I-wanna-slap-you club, Pete. I would, however---for obvious reasons---refrain from slapping you. Don't wanna cause any shifting or divots, girl. 

Happy birthday, Pete Burns! Much love!
