Sex and the MendaCity

In fasc-ion, miss barista, tv kicks on December 15, 2011 at 2:28 pm

Carrie Bradshaw is a big fat liar.

Sarah Jessica Parker (who, as you probably know, played Ms Bradshaw in Sex and the City) once again has us wondering just how she does it, in her latest film about how she does stuff. But the thing I used to wonder the most about when she was on SATC was: how does she afford all those shoes?

Carrie Bradshaw is a columnist. Yes, okay, a regular columnist in a city newspaper, but come on. A few hundred words a week does not a JK Rowling make. So here is this single thirty-something, writing for a living. That’s not such a bad life, it’s a creative one, fitting in with her PR and art gallery friends.

Gloomy Sunday

Grey skies

The outside world looks rubbish these days. The skies are grey, everything’s blowing around in the wind, and there’s not even any snow to make up for it. Pah.

This is definitely the time of year for insisting on staying in. You can avoid the long night/short day problem if you ignore it hard enough, and mulled wine can’t get you into quite as much trouble if you never leave the house.

So get comfy and snuggly inside! Draw the curtains against the evils of the external! Make yourself all nice and warm by lighting a fire or applying several glasses of wine!

And, of course, entertain yourself with this latest batch of search terms. Hopefully giggling at them will ensure that you don’t feel the winter gloom at all:

I’m Sunday, I’ll be killing you here in a minute or so

In art attack, comical, fasc-ion, good vibrations, miss thropist, pcp news, screenshots, tv kicks on July 31, 2011 at 1:31 pm

Well alright, that titular Buffy quote was from a vampire called Sunday (pictured above) and not- at least as far as I know- an anthropomorphic version of the last day of the week. But when you think about it, it’s kind of true. Sundays practically do kill you sometimes.

You’re liable to be horribly hungover and terribly tired from your weekend activities- whether they’ve been wholesome or debauched. Or, if you- like quite a few of the PCP crew- spent your Saturday night entertaining a baby while necking booze, a bit of both.

So you’re all tuckered out- and you don’t even get to really relax because another week is just around the corner demanding your attention and energy. Sundays are hard.

However they’re also they day of search term sifting- I’ll be perusing the things people have googled to end up on PCP. And possibly flailing around in confusion.

That sounds borderline inappropriate, but the show does feature a lot of creepy kids- many of which like attacking poor Dean: Read the rest of this entry »

Taking Back Sunday

In fasc-ion, miss thropist, pcp news, screenshots, theatrics, tv kicks on June 19, 2011 at 7:38 pm

It’s time for another Search Term Sunday, and this week I’ve wrested back control from Ms Elaine E. Ouse who likes to tell you lies about my birthday.

(Or maybe she’s just not available to bully into doing it for me. Whatever.)

Anyway, it’s certainly time to investigate the strangeness of the search terms which led people to the site this week:

supernatural jensen no clothes, jensen ackles naked, jensen ackles, jensen ackles naked gaynaked jensen acklesjason ackles nude, jensen ackles nudo, jensen ackles full nude, jensen ackles+naked and jensen ackles but naked

With persistence like that, you deserve some topless Ackles at the very least: Read the rest of this entry »

You came in with the breeze on Sunday morning…

In miss thropist, pcp news on May 22, 2011 at 10:20 pm

The random things that people have typed into google to find this site have been wafting along all week, and amusing the hell out of us. Join me in the eye of the storm as I examine- and mock- this lot.

Our mascot cowboy Jensen can take care of those:

But sadly not jensen ackles naked, naked jensen ackles, nude jensen acklesjensen ackles and jared padalecki naked, jensen ackles porn, jensen ackles gay porn, jensen ackles fotos pornos or jensen ackles nude. Read the rest of this entry »

Early dawning, Sunday morning

In miss thropist, pcp news on May 8, 2011 at 2:07 pm

Sundays always seem to come too soon, and with them the sad knowledge that the weekend has to end. Nonetheless they can still be a day of fun, and of pouring over the search terms that lead people here of course.

This I cannot provide, because he was never in Dawson’s Creek.

Easter Egg Hunt

In miss thropist, pcp news on April 24, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Happy Easter Sunday y’all!

I must admit that Easter celebrations have never really made all that sense to me, but if you’re into pretending that rabbits lay eggs and enjoy hunting for melted chocolates in apparently unlikely places then I hope you have an enjoyable time doing so.

The stuff that I’ve been searching for- silly search terms- are far easier to find. It’s much like looking for hay in a haystack, as soon as you take a look at the searches people have performed in order to bring them to this site you’re sucked into a wildly weird world.

Let’s give it a whirl:

Have you seen the ‘Frontierland’ episode of Supernatural yet? You neeeeeed to, it’s chock full of our mascot, Cowboy Jensen, and comes complete with plenty of cowboy Jared:

Sunny Sundays are here again

In miss thropist, pcp news on April 10, 2011 at 3:13 pm

We really are getting on for summer, the sun is genuinely shining and the weather is sweet.

It’s nice to be able to enjoy the weekend out on the grass, rather than being holed up inside piling on the layers just to feel like you’re not turning into a person-shaped icicle.

I hope that you’ve all been having hot fun in the sun, but when you eventually make your way back inside (the evenings aren’t yet quite as warm as I’d like them to be, let me tell you) there’ll still be a Search Term Sunday for your perusal each week.

Join us as we try to puzzle out what exactly it is that people are looking for when they end up here- and whether the weirdest googling can be blamed on sunstroke or daytime drinking.

Sunday Circus

In bookmark, fasc-ion, good vibrations, miss thropist, pcp news, screenshots, tv kicks on March 27, 2011 at 1:46 pm

Happy Sunday all! Hope you’re enjoying yours.

As far as I’m concerned, Sundays are usually for relaxation and recovery. It’s also a good day to check in with your friends- preferably in person with piles of greasy food and lots of liquid.

Sundays are the perfect day for everyone to share their stories of debauchery from the latest week (or, more likely, the weekend) and to swear that they’re never making the same mistakes again.

But if they didn’t, then we’d have nothing to talk about the next Sunday. So mostly the quitters quit quitting, and life goes on with its circular motions.

Since it’s Sunday, it’s time to go through the sinful and strange search terms of the week.

I’d ask everyone to promise to bookmark some stuff instead of abusing google in this fashion, but where would the fun be next weekend if that happened?

Top 40

Happy Women’s Day!

It’s also the start of Lent, for which this year, having mostly quit smoking already, I am giving up misogyny.

If you would like to do this too, here are daily activities for the duration of Lent to keep us all focused.

Lent 2011 starts the day after Pancake Day, which is Wednesday 9th March. It continues for 46 days until Saturday 23rd April.

In Western Christianity Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes on Holy Saturday. The six Sundays in Lent are not counted among the forty days of Lent because each Sunday represents a “mini-Easter”, a celebration of Jesus.

If you feel that you do need activities for each Sunday during feminist Lent you may meditate and practice your mantra ‘I must not be a misogynist, I must not be a misogynist’.

And of course, make the pledge: swear off Disney porn for the duration of Lent.

The Modern Woman’s Guide to Goddessliness

In fasc-ion, miss barista, techno on March 8, 2011 at 12:10 pm

Women of 2011, I beseech you, read this now. You need this article. You need this article that you are probably reading on your Blackberry, or iPhone or super cool laptop, whilst sitting on a squashed tube, or at home, nursing your numb feet that have been squished into overpriced shoes. You falsely believe you are a Power Woman. That you, with your well paid job in the media or some such, with your designer handbag and ability to quote Audrey Hepburn without blinking, are the epitome of what the modern woman should be. That you’ve broken the glass ceiling, that you’re powering forward in the urban abyss towards success.

Except your heels are so high that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to stand barefoot on the grass. You’ve forgotten how to play on the swings, to push yourself higher and higher until you feel like you can fly. Your life has been crudites and salmon for so long that you don’t remember just how good a jam sandwich tastes.

But lucky for you, it’s not only Women’s Day on the 8th of March, but the Spring Equinox, the pagan holiday of Oestara on the 20th. So really, it’s the month of the Goddess.

High Heels and Low Corsets

In fasc-ion, ms elaine e. ouse on February 22, 2011 at 1:58 pm

For the last week or so I have been staring at everybody’s shoes. I really like shoes.

It’s not a fetish thing, although please don’t think that I don’t like fetishism. Especially if shoes are involved.

I was asked last week why anyone would ever go out in high heels in London at all.

I do see that it is madness- there’s so much time spent on squishy tubes and lurching night buses, and sometimes you’re expected to face cobbles.

But then conversation turned to whether high heels are anti-feminist.

My grandma (Feminist icon #1) speaks about having to make meals and be treated like dirt, whilst also feeling that she was expected to be on stupid, painful stilts. Read the rest of this entry »
