Congrats to fantasy celebrity league site – and Twiistup 2 showoff – Fafarazzi.com!  They were selected by Star Magazine as this week’s hot website (it’s on page 28 of the July 23rd, 2007 issue).

Fafarazzi works just like fantasy sports leagues – “except instead of scores being tallied for homeruns and touchdowns, they’re for catfights, divorces and baby bumps!” One of my personal faves (ok, it’s really something my wife loves) is hourly gossip posts from over 40 blogs – all in one spot!

Fafarazzi will be showing off at Twiistup 2. Swing by and maybe you can your picture taken with them – just like in the tabloids!

No, this isn’t David’s mom.

David Robinson and I have been friends for many years now. No, not the basketball player, he’s actually a UED guy on lots of web projects. David’s blog states it’s about *design, funnies and general debauchery*. I think this photo (found on David’s blog) fits into each of those themes.

When I describe the Twiistup blog to people I say it’s about *cool things on and off the web* and I think, er hope that this photo fits into both of those themes. I’m not if there’s a theme that this photo doesn’t fit into – it’s just that cool. Actually, the coolest part is that David’s mom sent it to him. I’m going to try and get David’s mom to go to Twiistup 2. Although Twiistup 3 (in Vancouver BC CA) might be a shorter trip for her since she’s in Canada.

The absolute coolest thing about this photo is how much I’ve managed to write about it. It’s just that cool. Thanks to David mom for sending it to David and thanks to David for posting it – check out his blog for other cool pix (like this one).

Indie rock, vintage Japanese chairs decked in thick black leather and beverages create a unique atmosphere for a salon. Getting your hair done seems like a good enough excuse to go to Pimps & Pinups in London.
