New blog alert: Fashionasty

There's a new blog in town fashion-lovers will want to bookmark: Jake Thompson's Fashionasty. Well, technically it's not "new" - the humorous, fashion-trash-culture blog offers Thompson's musings on all that is fabulous has been going on for awhile now, but the Minnesota native has just returned home after spending a few years in New York City, where he worked as a producer’s assistant on the TV show Ugly Betty for two seasons.

This sample text shows Jake's signature, amusing turn-of-phrase:

Life is wasted on the boring and the safe, so hone ur inner fashionasty and get on the plates of foodies worldwide. Don’t just make them hungry, make them salivate over you.
