Emmy's Posts

Emmy Blotnick

Emmy hails from Boston and got her schoolings in Chicago. She was hired as an IT assistant working in the basement of Taintbrush Headquarters and was eventually promoted to the position of Person with Feelings. Even with her gratuitous year-end bonuses, she enjoys shopping at thrift stores -- almost as much as she likes thinking about how someone has pissed, shat and/or died in most of her clothes. And she is glad you are here.

It seems she hasn’t done much in the way of making such high culture accessible to the masses, as Gwyneth is wont to do. Oh, Gwyneth, Read More →

Bread Train To Hell

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

I stepped into a crowded subway car around ten this morning to see that a long stretch of seats was occupied by a urine-drenched person with his head in a box. People love to do the farmer fist gesture and say “Only in New York!” about things like this but let’s acknowledge that this is a rare and sad morning sight, not just a souvenir in story form.

Crocs: The Jig Is Up, Now Get Your Dog Out Of That Shoe

Shoemaker Crocs widened its loss in the first quarter, sending shares plunging more than 20% in after-market trading.
