Web Snob for August 11, 2006

Just in case you are interested in what the snobs are reading online, here are snippets of what piqued our interest this week. Surprisingly, it’s not all about fashion.

The Superficial – Paris Hilton gets her own version of Hello Kitty. Does she have to ruin everything?

The Bag Hag has an advisory story about fake Hermes Birkins! Must read!!

Our Mattie Roberts has the best tips on being a practical diva! Why didn’t I think of using baby wash mitts to exfoliate?

Go Fug Yourself remembers Tia Carrere from the 90’s. She’s still stuck in the 90’s. Or perhaps the 80’s.

Outblush suggests a Dirt Devil Cone, a pretty displayable vacuum cleaner. I hate crumbs and I love pretty!!

Who should win Fab Sugar’s Chloe Edith contest? It’s too late for you to enter so do the only thing left to do, vote! My favorite is Simonsal but don’t let me influence you.

iGallop from Osim. We usually don’t like gadgets and definitely can see through gimmicks so when we say, “THIS WORKS”, you know it must be true. This unattractive piece of machinery works your abs and core by simulating galloping on a horse, but unless you have a separate gym in your house, I wouldn’t ruin the living room decor.

Mark Jacobs is good with women. He is getting Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair to pose nude for a campaign warning the dangers of skin cancer. Hilary Swank declined but she has floppy boobs so we stand by her decision.

From Gucci’s 85th Anniversary collection is a $1095 stuffed horse for really spoiled children or those with an equestrian themed room that is missing that final touch. More on Gucci’s annivesary collection to come. I’ll be upfront, it’s not good.
