    How is it possible we didn’t know about this? Y’all, I think I’m in love.

  • dan hearts Project Runway

    Your reading assignment today is the PopGurls interview with Project Runway castaway Vanessa, who kind of ruled but whose tenure on the show was cut painfully short while other undeserving souls contined to live on. Wendy Pepper, how on earth can you sleep at night? Go say hi to the PopGurls, who also interviewed the…

  • dan says let penguins be penguins

    Fag penguins, that is. I don’t know what byzantine Googling stream of consciousness led Tracie to this article, but she wanted to share it with me, and I wanted to share it with you. So read it.

  • Dan flat-out pleads for help

    Hi, everyone. Help. As many of you know, I am living in LA at the moment. I have a fabulous brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which I’ve been subletting. As I’ll be out here for an indeterminate length of time, I’ve decided to keep subletting the place, at least for the next two months. The…

  • Dan’s mom is requesting some more tiny peanuts

    My mom is not a scared person. She marches right through life telling life what to do, and does not suffer those who squirm and hem and ask time-wasting questions. Pam does an impression of my mom that is spot-on perfect, but it’s also quite short because my mom speaks quickly because she has somewhere…
