One Company Pulled Their Caitlyn Jenner Costume After Some Called It Transphobic (UPDATE: No, They Didn’t)

/ August 26, 2015

Caitlyn Jenner’s transition and the lion-killing dentist are two of the biggest stories of the year, so course, companies are going to try to make that money by selling costumes of them. The lion-killing dentist costume exists and so does the Caitlyn Jenner costume, although it may be wiped from the Internet soon. As soon as websites started selling the Caitlyn Jenner costume, which is a recreation of her Vanity Fair cover, Twitter and LGBT groups labeled it as transphobic.

Spirit Costumes, one of the companies selling that mess, defended it at first by saying that they see Caitlyn Jenner as a “real-life superhero” and they are celebrating her. But the creator of a Change.org petition, which has over 8,700 signatures so far, thinks Spirit is spewing a whole lot of bullshit and asked them to yank the costume.

We demand that you revoke your ideas and production of a Caitlyn Jenner costume for Halloween. With a reputation of sexist, racist, and culturally appropriative costumes, we are concerned that this costume will continue your oppressive tradition with a transphobic costume of Caitlyn Jenner. Yes, as your PR and marketing head Trisha Lombardo stated in an interview, Caitlyn Jenner is a hero and celebrated in modern day culture, but that doesn’t excuse the exploitation and transphobia you’ll be committing this Halloween. To make a costume out of a marginalized identity reduces that person and community to a stereotype for privileged people to abuse. In this case, if you follow through with production of a Caitlyn Jenner costume, cisgender people will purchase it to make fun of her and our community. At a time when trans women and GNC folx, especially black trans women, are being murdered at such a high rate, and homelessness, unemployment, and inaccessbility to healthcare run rampant in our community, making fun of one or all of us is utterly insensitive and deplorable.

The Wrap claims that the petition worked, because Spirit Costumes removed the Caitlyn Jenner costume from their website. But a different Caitlyn Jenner costume is still up for sale at other websites like  Anytime Costumes (above) and Wholesale Halloween Costumes.

Offensive costumes aren’t exactly a new thing (see: all of last year’s Ray Rice costumes), but why in the hell are they charging $75 for that cheap crap?! That is the real crime. That costume is just a pair of ugly shorts, a bustier that looks like it’s made out of toilet paper and a $3 polyester wig. What’s with the shorts too? If you’re going to go there, at least wear the panties. How dreadful. Caitlyn Jenner would never wear that $10 swap meet ensemble.

(And I, for one, plan to be Pimp Mama Kris for Halloween. Here’s my costume.)

UPDATE: That was fast. As soon as I hit publish on this post, I got an email in my inbox from Gossip Cop. A rep for Spirit Costumes tells Gossip Cop that they haven’t pulled shit. Their costume, which is different than the one above, will be in stores in September.

Open Post: Hosted By A Corgi Pool Party

/ August 26, 2015

I won’t be surprised if today my chihuahua ties a scarf full of his earthly belongings onto a stick and starts hitchhiking to his homeland of Mexico. No, he’s not going to go to Mexico, because Donald Trump is still at the top of the polls and he figures he may as well deport himself and save Trump the trouble. He’s probably going to run away from home, because today is National Dog Day and I made a cat HSOTD. What a slap in the face! He sees how it is.

I didn’t know it was National Dog Day, but I’m going to try to right that wrong by posting a dog video (via Cute Overload). File this dog video under: Scenes from THE QUEEN’S backyard. It’s 15 adorable seconds of a Corgi on meth going crazy for water in a plastic pool.

….And I just realized that this probably wasn’t the best apology video to post since my dog hates getting wet. I fucked up again!

But wait, my dog hates getting wet, sleeps 23 hours a day, can take a nap anywhere and can throw a side-eye like no other. Maybe he’s been a cat this whole time and I didn’t know it. I mean, he sort of looks like a cat.

Yeah, I’m going with that. Betrayal averted! Until National Cat Day!

England’s Finest Rose Got Married!

/ August 26, 2015

A real British royal wedding happened yesterday, and unlike those attention whores Duchess Kate and Prince William, it wasn’t televised for the public, because the bride is a demure and private flower.

Jodie Marsh, the goddess Duchess Kate aspires to be, made the cherubs barf up a stream of hearts and rainbows when she made some dude named James Placido the luckiest mere mortal on the planet by marrying him. James is technically Jodie’s first husband. In 2007, Jodie fake married her rival Katie Price’s ex Matt Peacock. Matt was a contestant on her reality show, Totally Jodie Marsh: Who’ll Take Her Up The Ass Aisle? The producers eventually found out that Matt and Jodie were dating before shooting started and she made him audition for the show. They split up after 3 months of fake wedded bliss and Jodie admitted the marriage was for TV and never real. So basically, Kim Kardashian is a Sam’s Choice version of Jodie Marsh.

Jodie made the announcement about her first genuine marriage (I think) on Twitter today and you’d think that the British government would immediately declare it a national holiday. But that didn’t happen since THE QUEEN and Duchess Kate are jealous of Jodie’s regal beauty.

Panty Creamer Of The Day: A Shirtless Rafael Nadal At A Tommy Hilfiger Event

/ August 26, 2015

After two Josh Duggar posts in a row, I needed this.

Tennis-playing Spanish hot piece Rafael Nadal is the new crotch and ass of Tommy Hilfiger chonies and yesterday, he went to work promoting it by stripping off his shirt at an event in NYC. Yes, taking your top off is the best way to promote absolutely anything, but Rafael is trying to sell panties! Dude should’ve ripped those pants off and served it up. Oh well, at least we got plenty of shots of his crotch croquetas and nalgas in the commercial:

Even though Rafael kept his underwear on, there were a couple of dude models at the event who gave the people what they wanted by getting half-naked. My thoughts and feelings about that are best expressed through this picture of Martha Stewart who was also there because she knows a good thing.

I’m sure she’s just standing there, but I’m going to choose to believe she’s thinking to herself, “Man nipples, bulge and ass, oh my. Must brace myself.

Josh Duggar Checked Into Rehab

/ August 26, 2015

Shortly after InTouch posted a brain-burning story about how Josh Duggar allegedly had rough, terrifying and traumatic sex with a porn star he paid, the Duggars announced on their website that he has checked into rehab and started long-term treatment for something. The Duggars didn’t say what he’s being treated for. As far as I know, there’s no rehab program for creepy hypocrite lie-tellers, so I’m guessing he’s getting treatment for his addiction to that evil gateway sin known as porn. Here’s the Duggars’ full statement:

We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.

Jesus be a damage control coach, I guess.

Gawker thinks that Josh is in an actual rehab facility. But well, after Josh admitted to his parents that he molested a bunch of little girls, they sent him to do construction work with a friend. That was their idea of long-term counseling and treatment. So I’m guessing that Josh is in the woods somewhere “rehabilitating” himself by building a pied-à-terre where he can bring his future mistresses.

And Here They Come: A Porn Star Claims She Had Rough Sex With Josh Duggar

/ August 26, 2015

Of course I don’t mean “And Here They Come” like THAT. I doubt any of them came with Josh Duggar.

The line marked “Side Hos Of Josh Duggar” has formed and the first woman has come forward claiming that Josh Duggar broke one of the Ten Commandments on her vagine. Next up on TLC: 1 Side Piece and Counting.

If any of us wet humped on Josh Duggar, we’d probably ask a neurosurgeon to open up our skulls and scrub the filth from our brains with a Magic Eraser, but porn star and stripper Danica Dillon has admitted that she and the Quiverfull Porky Pig did a lot more than just side hug. Danice tells InTouch Weekly that she and Josh did sex together twice and she didn’t meet him on Ashley Madison or OkCupid. Josh was a fan of her porn work and this past March, he came up to her at the Gold Club in Philadelphia, where she was performing.
