EVENING NIGHTCAP: Crocs For Dogs! Oprah's Favorite Things Includes $125 Oven Mitt...seriously.

► First of, a shout-out to the Dlister who said, "Crocs are made in the devil's workshop". I cackle when I think of Crocs. On to our story: Crocs is tag-teaming with Bark, the dog subscription service, to create Crocs For Dogs.  Yes folks, dogs need shoes shaped like a hippo who mated with a clog.  The Croco-Doggo paw wear will cost $50 (unlined) and $65 (lined) and come in 3 sizes, and in 2 colors: Green Slime and Pink Dragon Fruit. But wait...there's more! They also glow in the dark. BTW, if you feel the need to be fashionable alongside your pup, they're selling human versions in the same colors along with charms of popular dog breeds to accessorize your hooves. My only question is: how long would it take for a dog to rip these off?  Read More

Comment:  I gotta admit they're kinda cute. But I would never buy them. If I came home with Crocs for Dogs, my dog would think it was a chew toy. She'd take them and  bury them somewhere in the house where I will never find them. Then, for the next few hours, she would give me a death stare that said, "try that again and I will leave a missile for you to clean up in the hallway".

Finally, there are Crocs for your dog

► The season of capitalism has kicked off with Oprah announcing her "Favorite Things" list.  These are items that Oprah wants us plebs to believe she gives to her friends.  It's more like a list of crap she's getting paid to peddle. The items are being advertised as available on Amazon (with a tiny mention of the creator's / independent seller's website).  Looks like Oprah wants to make Jeff Bezos even richer.  Here are some of the items she's hawking. BTW, I've seen similar jewellery boxes with the ballerina selling for $10 at a thrift shop I occasionally visit.  Read More

  • Oven Mitt, Trivet, and Pan Handle Set (made from used denim):  $125.00
  • Chrissy Teigen Baking Set:  $68.00
  • Aroma Home Diffuser:  $185.00
  • Solar bird feeder:  $180.00
  • Canister of potato chips:  $55.00 
  • Musical jewellery box with interchangeable ballerinas: $65.00

Comment: The oven mitt, trivet, and pan handle are made from used janky-ass used jeans. Yes, you read that correctly...$125 for oven mitt set made from used jeans. Sheesh. There's a sucker born everyday. Anyhoo, I'd like to ask Oprah what is so special about a $55 canister of potato chips? Are they made from magic potatoes that will give me super powers? What's wrong with a $2.99 canister of Pringles? Or a bag of Lay's chips? While I'm at it:  Who needs to spend $180 bird feeder? Does Oprah believe birds will be impressed? I have bird feeders in my yard made from old bottles; and a few "fancy" ones I bought used at garage sales. Birds like them and they don't judge me.  Oprah is so out of touch with reality. 

a woman is making a funny face with the words `` your out of touch with reality '' written next to her .

Peckerwood Manor's ELECTION PANIC-A-GOGO!

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re

OPEN POST: Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma Dressed Up as the Madden Brothers

  Hilary Duff's husband, Matthew Koma, posted this selfie to his instagram on Thursday of the couple dressed up as Benji and Joel Madden. The pair were going out to dinner with Joel and his wife, Nicole Ritchie. Now this seems like a silly fun thing, but never forget that Hilary Duff infamously dated Joel Madden back in the early aughts, when she was 16 and he was 25. I guess it's nice to see she has a friendly relationship with her ex groomer boyfriend, but the whole situation still seems very odd. Source: Matthew Koma on instagram
