Another week is in the books, can you believe that it’s almost mid-October already? Last week I put the finishing touches on the first project that Jeff and I collaborated on. Mike Hayes commissioned Jeff and I to create a custom designed theme for WordPress and migrate his existing Blogger site over to the new domain: SteadyBurn dot net. The design process was interesting, because Jeff and I didn’t know a whole lot about Mike or hist existing blog. Through some research and tweaking we were able to come up with a unique look that Mike was very happy with.

The theme has some cool design elements that were implemented to improve the visitors experience as well. I had read a tutorial on CSS-Tricks awhile back that would allow you to add some flare to your date badges, and implement a comment bubble to the top corner that displays the total comments on the post. It’s a very easy trick to implement into your design. I did change up the date badge a bit to make it fit the color scheme of the site. The original tutorial uses a different color for each month, but it looked a bit cartoony for this design.

Another cool element of the design are the transparent content boxes. If you look closely you can see the background carries into the left column box. It took some tweaking to get it to look right and not take away from the content, but it turned out great! Overall, this project was a lot of fun to do and in the end Mike was very happy with the design…which is what matters the most.

The other day GrandmasterB dropped the news that Holly Madison was on her way out of the Playboy mansion along with fellow Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson. I eluded to the fact that Hugh had already found replacement “girlfriends” in the form of two 19 year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon. Turns out that through much research, GrandmasterB has found out that is indeed the story. The twins allegedly wasted no time swooping in under Hefner’s empty arms. They have been spotted with him the past few weeks and according to Hugh “They very much want to be girlfriends and now under the present circumstance, they probably will become my girlfriends”.

With all of my research came some visual evidence of just how hot these two Playmates are (images below), but they aren’t all that innocent as the seem. Apparently, they Karissa and Kristina Shannon were arrested on January 10th in St. Petersburg, Florida for battery. This incident was actually Karissa’s second charge of battery in three months. Not only are the Shannon Twins knockouts with their looks, but apparently they have a mean right hook as well. Karissa and Kristina Shannon are definitely a “rags to riches” story though; according to what I have read their “daddy” had them when he was in High School and is very proud of them. Apparently, he’s the one that pimped them out the Hugh to pose in Playboy…I guess dreams really do come true.

I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor…these pictures are smokin’ hot!

I can’t believe it’s true…Hugh Hefner and Holly Madison are no longer an item. Hugh confirmed today that the couple have split up and ended their relationship. I just read on Marc Malkin’s blog that in his interview with Hefner that he stated “she is the love of my life, and I expected to spend the rest of my life with her.” According to Hugh the two split on the news that he was unable to father a child…are you friggin’ kidding me?

I have heard of dumb blondes before, but this chick can’t possibly be serious…or can she? Is it even feasible for an 82 year-old man to do the deed? I know that through the miracle of modern science he could probably muster up a chubby, but there’s no way he could father a child. It appears though that Hugh is ready to move on as he’s stated his relationship with Kendra “will be ending when she moves out later this year.”

In a bold maneuver to get over his blonde beauties Hefner has been spotted with 19 year-old twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon (pictured above). The twins appeared in the April 2008 issue of Playboy and have been spending a lot of alone time with Hefner who stated: “They very much want to be girlfriends and now under the present circumstance, they probably will become my girlfriends.” He sure can pick ‘em!

After seeing the now famous images of Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair and her new Milk Mustache advertisement Hugh Hefner has stepped into the “perv zone”. Apparently, Hugh-jass has stated that he would like to have 15 year-old Miley appear in Playboy. Of course, once he realized that he sounded like the world’s oldest pedophile he backtracked stating they would wait until she reached the legal age. Too late Hef, we all know that you like ‘em young you sick bastard. You helped us all confirm what we have known for years…you are a perverted, pajama clad old man.

What was that all about? That’s what I call getting you Googlebots excited enough to read my latest post. I’ve been trying to develop a decent post that would hook you all into reading it…did it work? I’m writing my “Month in Review” a few days early, because the stats (or main stat) are very impressive…at least in my eyes.
