Yes, you read that correctly.  Beedogs.  Dogs.  Dressed as bees.  There is a whole webpage full of it.  I was going to put it in my “Things I Think Are Awesome This Week” but it’s too awesome for even that.  Beedogs.com is “the premier online repository for pictures of dogs in bee costumes.”  I am so thankful that this webpage was pointed out to me, because until now I was scouring the internet looking for pictures of dogs in bee costumes and I found some okay ones, but never the “premier online repository.”  There really isn’t too much else to say about this awesomeness except that people seem to really, really like dressing their dogs as bees for some reason.  I guess I will have to put Sugar Bush Squirrel in my things are awesome instead.  If that CERN project in Switzerland does indeed kill us all tomorrow, I can die happy knowing this exsists.

This is a short post, but I was reading Vogue magazine in the gym yesterday as I worked out and I can’t stop thinking about it.  I like reading magazines in the gym, since they always have awesome trashy ones that I would never read myself but would gaze longingly at while standing in the grocery store checkout.  For instance, I recently read about Brad and Angelina’s twins in People, babies that I should theoretically like or care about no more than I do normal babies, but babies I was fascinated with nonetheless.  Anyway, I don’t know if I have ever actually read a Vogue magazine, but I have heard about them a lot.  Vogue is in a lot of the trashy “chick-lit” books I read, and on Sex and the City Carrie really seems to like it (there’s a ringing endorsement!).  The issue they had, the August Issue was about looking good at any age (which only went up to your 50s, I supposed after that, according to Vogue, you either start pretending you are 40 again or die).  I thought I might get some good tips on how to dress so I snagged it and hit the elliptical trainer. 

I read approximately 4 articles in this magazine and I have to say that honestly I have NO idea what any of them were about.  Seriously.  I have fairly high reading comprehension, but Vogue magazine managed to elude me.  All I know is that where were lots of names of people I didn’t recognize in bold and then some pictures of women looking like they got hit with a stun gun.  I just really don’t get it, so I’m curious: is Vogue always like this?  Does it make sense to anyone, or is it the Playboy of women’s fashion and everyone mainly looks at the pictures?  What’s the deal?
