If you want to help a girl get to college, check out Kisses For College. Kyrsten emailed me this morning & she could really use our help — see below.

I’m a 19 year old college student with probably no hope of going back to college – there is no way to get a student loan for me. You see, to credit companies I’m pretty much a ghost and my parents have not only been through bankruptcy but my mother was just diagnosed with Leukemia. With all the bills, no one in my family can even cosign a loan for me and be accepted. I need to make about $3,000 in three days in order to continue going to school. Last year, I started a project where I asked people to describe their first kisses, then painted them on postcard sized watercolor paper. Each kiss was titled with the description, the two people, and the year. I am restarting this commission-based painting in order to pay for my college – what better way than to spread the love! Ideally this is for couples who want to commemorate their first kiss, romantics, or people who just want a cute keepsake or to help do a good deed.

This is a quick history of Cosmopolitan magazine from 1896 to 1976! The changes are huge. I wish they would have continued all the way up to present day, but the cover from 1943 is so good that I forgive them!

I love these photos of circus performers from the 1940s & 1950s. Especially that first girl!

These pictures of abandoned & foreclosed homes in California are so sad.

New York in the 1960s was clearly quite fantastic!

Here’s a list of things you need in order to stay happy, & I’d say it’s pretty much on the button.

Vegas “with my girls” is amazing! I love Las Vegas. Everything she says is true!

Post-Break Up Blog Post Titles. HA!!!

Do you, like me, hate sightseeing? I haaaate it! It’s so overrated. I would rather just float around a city & soak up the culture. So much more fun.

Why do all TV couples hate each other? It’s true, & it’s a bummer!

I am asexual (& it’s awesome!) is really interesting.

The state of the city, in your words from the New York Times. This paints some very different views of NYC from very different people.

Exit Left, Wordlessly is about a man who disappeared from his lover’s life without a word. It is bizarre, & fascinating.

Ahhh! I like taxidermy but this is definitely the world of extreme taxidermy. That pomeranian! My god!
