The internet, as filtered through the Galaverse… Live every Friday. Ding ding ding!

<3 Days With My Father is really beautiful; click all the way through.

<3 Dalai Lama’s 18 Rules For Living. No explanation required!

<3 The World of Wonder Presents My Mickey Ears. Oh, WOW. (Thanks Betsey J!)

<3 The Art of the Self-Imposed Deadline from Harvard Business Blog. Awesome information for anyone who is self-employed, does freelance work, or just wants to become more productive!

<3 Vixxie sent me this link to these crayon rings. I think I am in love. Very colourful, messy love.

<3 The Best & Worst of Skymall cracked me up.

<3 Shae from Lullie Vintage has just started a blog at Everything Style & it rules HARD.

<3 Boner Party is my new favourite thing. Oh so funny. Especially this post about the TV show Friends (which I never liked). Also, Boner Party Diet Advice. Aaaahahaha. & quite frankly, you really have to love any website which says,

“normal girls are bullshit. always pick the one in the Misfits shirt.”

<3 Dhrumil posted an audio guide to falling still which is quite, quite fantastic.

<3 I discovered CB Walker via Coilhousethis is some of the funniest, weirdest stuff I have seen in ages.

<3 Help Others has a bunch of ideas as to how you can positively impact other people’s lives.

<3 The Stranger’s The Different Kinds Of People That There Are is amazing. I especially like “Wizards: Assholes with beards who do magic.”

<3 Karlie Kloss works it out in US Vogue, February. Look at those Maison Martin Margiela pants! LUST!

<3 Laura Barton on why we need to smile more, from The Guardian.

<3 & finally, my friend (& pastry henchman) Jordon just hit the road with Atmosphere & POS for the When God Gives You Ugly tour — & he’s photographing his experiences. He just started, but he’s a great photographer, so it’s sure to be super-interesting.

That’ll do it! Enjoy your weekend!


Love letters & feather headdresses,

  1. Days with my father is soooo beautiful!! (at least when i figured out how the site works ;))

  2. days with my father made me cry non-stop for the last 30 min.
    I thought so badly about my grandad who passed away almost three years ago and how much I miss him that right now, thinking of him while reading this it actually hurt. It’s so weird sometimes to think that you’re not going to be able to hug someone ever again.

  3. Dude, two people have gotten into it with me this week about my usage of the word “hobo”. Soooo fucking funny that that was #1 on the list. I choked on my tea, serious. And I just broke up with a neo-Russian Wizard hippie elf dude, NO SHIT. Assholes with beards, LMAO.

    Great links this week, thanks!!!

  4. “The Different Kinds of People” is some good funny shit right there! XD

    Everythiing Style is pretty too :)

  5. “The Different Kinds of People” is the best thing you’ve eve linked to ever. This has had me in tears for the past five minutes:

    ***
    People Who Believe in Sasquatch

    What’s that? You couldn’t afford your bunion surgery because you spent all your money on Sasquatch detectors? And now your bunion hurts? Bummer. ***

  6. Hah! My hubby pointed out that Skymall marshmallow bazooka to me on the flight back from SF this week – I’m pondering getting it for him for his birthday.

    <3 Sal · Apr 10, 07:52 AM · #
  7. Oh man Gala, you rock.
    I clicked on SO many of those links.
    BONER PARTY HECK YES. Normal girls really are bullshit.

    AND ZOMG RAQUEL REED. DROOL.

  8. lololol at that skymall list. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve gone through that ridiculous catalog this year! But I agree, the 2 person umbrella IS handy, and that marshmallow gun COULD be fun…

    <3 jess · Apr 10, 08:27 AM · #
  9. Rachel Radness — I cannot tell you how much I LOVE the word hobo.

    <3 Gala · Apr 10, 08:45 AM · #
  10. Gala, I hold you personally responsible for the tears of laughter and sadness I’ve just had in the past half an hour.

    Days With My Father broke my heart. xo

  12. Love The Stranger – hilarious rag all the time.

    I also look forward to Skymall (guilty pleasure) every time I get on a plane. Like, who doesn’t need a marshmallow gun?! Seriously!

  13. I think the girl in the snow white costume was on Australia’s Next Top Model season 4.

    I like the spiked mickey ears, and the mirrored mickey ears the best.

  16. I love all the funny links (different types of people, boner party, etc)! This is the best carousal you have done in awhile, in my opinion. I get a little bored of all the fashion links, hehe :D

    <3 tatiana · Apr 10, 04:47 PM · #
  18. This is one of my favorite carousels! The 18 rules for living and the Art of the Self-Imposed Deadline were especially useful! Thanks for all of these, and I look forward to next weeks.

  21. I SO want to own a crayon ring now.

    <3 Penelope · Apr 11, 01:17 AM · #
  22. Atmosphere, P.O.S. AND Attracted to Gods! Lovelove. Such a delightful mishmash of music on this tour. I can’t wait to pick up Mankwe’s ep when the Ugly rolls through my hood. Hooray for tour photos!

    <3 SalinaVita · Apr 11, 01:42 AM · #
  23. A crayon ring, that sounds great! Very childish in an awesome way.

  30. AH! I just found out that the When God Gives You Ugly tour is coming to two cities near me! Unfortunately they’re both at bars and I’m underage… waah. At least there’s an hour long meet & greet I could go to! Ayeee thanks for the lovely links Gala, without them I definitely would not have found this opportunity <3

  33. Good evening. If men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Need antivirus software. I found only this – <a href=“http://abm.objectis.net/Members/AntivirusSoftware”>mcafee free download antivirus software</a>. There are duplicate modern keyloggers of other mail people glassy for example fraud that are multiple of depending and shuffling patches and credit, antivirus software. Antivirus software, forms have configured a leftover half of the forex, albeit just found. :-( Thanks in advance. Zebulon from Ireland.
