...started innocently enough: last month a friend sent me a virtual lily plant on Facebook and invited me to create a (Lil) Green Patch, a digital garden that would grow on my profile page, and that any of my friends could help water, weed and plant. Sounds cute, right? Not if you've recently suffered through an overwhelming slew of requests to give a grain of rice, send good karma and rate your friends on everything including their hotness, creativity, fashion sense and intelligence. I wasn't merely skeptical - I was annoyed. But I didn't want...

...music video about fingernail polish? Oh yes. Reminiscent of both Lil Mama’s “Lip Gloss” and the salon scenes from “Legally Blonde,” Kid Sister’s first single, “Pro Nails,” provides viewers a lens into the vivid world of manicures. The camera scans colorful walls of bottles filled with nail polish, catching glints of sparkling salmons and auburns. Unknown to most, Kid Sister hails from Chicago and spits her club rhymes for independent label Fool’s Gold...
