What We Saw While On Hiatus →
Photos from the 2008 USBFB Retreat To Yellowstone and the Great Tetons. We’ve decided on some big policy changes and have been working on some new posts that will change forever the fabulous bitches regulation landscape. Stay tuned…
Cthulhu The Movie →
Looks like a passably all right HP Lovecraft based film. Kickass.
Though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fond of Re-animator.
USBFB On Hiatus For The Next Week
Like many divisions of the US Federal Government, our staffers and the High Commissioner on Fabulous Bitches will be on recess during late August. Starting tomorrow this blog will be on hiatus, but we will be operational and ready to take your petitions once again on August 23rd.

How do you guys fit into the rest of this event?”). But got me thinking more generally if there’s some way of fitting all the types of geek conferences...

Fake Medicine For Your Fake, Annoying Kids →
