Happy Phil Collins Day, One And All!

Valentine's Day is so over—the real holiday worth celebrating this month is Phil Collins Day, which is TODAY (don't say we didn't warn you). Instead of seeing heart shaped balloons filling up the subway cars, there will be inflated Phil Collins heads bopping around... at least, that's the dream. We're not quite there yet, this is only the 6th annual celebration of the man, and so far Hallmark has refused to acknowledge the holiday with sappy cards. more ›

She started the annual celebration with friends five years ago, but this year upped the ante with a parade, a specialty pizza, masks, a Phil float... you get the idea.

She gave us a little background on the holiday, saying it began back at her high school in Washington as a reaction to Valentine's Day, as she "watched with disgust and awkward sadness as the halls of our high school filled with red balloons and thorny roses." Today marks the 5th ever Phil Collins Day, and Feather thinks it will be the biggest yet. And we've got total coverage people, our photographer will even be on hand at tonight's parade, so we suggest you clock out early and get started on your Phil float! more ›
