Pinterest not so great?

Pinterest Fails...

I follow a blog on the internet called "Pinterest Fail". The blog was created by a girl named Jenna, who decided to start a place where people could post things on a board, kind of like ours; about all the things they tried on pinterest but ultimately ended up turning into crap. It's a place where people can go and recommend things that have worked and make sure people avoid things that do not work. It also is a place to brainstorm on ways to improve failed crafts. 

If you do not know what Pinterest is... which I assume most of the girls in this class do; it is a very addictive site where people can post things anywhere from fashion to cooking creations. It also has links to many peoples blogs along with websites where to purchase things. WARNING: It is very dangerous if you are an online shopper. Also If you know what DIY'ing is, and you have done some of the things already on pinterest, post to this blog about your success or failure! 

The woman who runs the blog does not go under any false names or pseudonyms, her name is Jenna... no last name and has a picture of herself in the "about me section". It believe that by adding a picture it makes things a little bit more personal and you feel like you know who's contributing instead of 
thinking it's some kind of robot. 



I believe that the greatest thing about this website is that it exploits all the things that are "so great" on pinterest. Some of the uploads are hilarious and it's crazy how many of us can relate to them... or maybe it's just me but seriously, it's still funny. It's also a good place to go if you're a little skeptical about trying something that takes a good couple of hours and you don't want to waste your time. Like this photo below:

Like the post above, I too will just leave it to the professionals when it comes to making esthetically pleasing cakes.
