Carousel -- Week Ending 10th July 2009

[ 10 July 2009 ]

Happy Friday! It’s not the world’s biggest carousel, but I hope you enjoy it regardless!

<3 Astrologer Rob Brezsny on what’s in our stars. I love this interview! I also love Rob Brezsny!

“Astrology immediately satisfied my soul, because it was a way of looking at the world mythically. It was a language that was not in opposition to rationality and logic but provided an alternative way of thinking about the world, which is that there are mysteries beyond what we can comprehend with our rational ego.”

<3 Lack of charisma can be fatal? Star’s take. RAD.

<3 Rad.

<3 To say… or not… during sex. A flow/Venn diagram.

<3 Future of Fashion Magazines | Part One – A Changing Landscape. This is really interesting reading. It is amazing to watch mainstream media go down the gurgler & think about what will take its place.

<3 Got 3D glasses? This Flickr group will make you wish you did!

<3 Oh, how I love Awkward Family Photos. Laugh riot. For real.

<3 If that wasn’t horrifying enough, there’s always Awkward Boners. Beware.

<3 swissmiss finds the coolest things. Like… typographic soap. I feel like I need a bar of this. Hello necklace! Floating breakfast!

<3 Givenchy, you can do no wrong in my mind.

<3 Ah oui bonjour you are so beautiful let’s get married & drink tea all day.

<3 Louise Wilson: Listen Up by Cathy Horyn. Lots of interesting thoughts on the fashion industry.

<3 Tim Ferriss speaks about How to Build a High-Traffic Blog Without Killing Yourself!

<3 The Bohemian Dream, in 350 Square Feet — this is the cutest apartment ever, & really close to where I used to live in the West Village!

<3 P.S. I have a new site — Love Letter To The Universe! It’s just a journal, online documentation of my life, silly, ridiculous, etc., but you might find it… entertaining?! Hee!


This video is amazing!


Hhaahahah. “...Magical.”


Michael Jackson = <3

Have an INCREDIBLE weekend, beautiful!


Love letters & feather headdresses,

  7. I don’t know Stef at all, but randomly once years ago he was in my apartment and my hedgehog peed of his hand. He was hip to hedgehogs, so it was no big deal, but everytime I see him on your blog I think that :) Kudos to him for his success! Always happy when Minneapolis people get some mainstream recognition!

  12. My Gracious Gala!
    I just saw the most amazing film and throughout I could not stop thinking of how much you and the main character are alike.
    It’s called Amelie. It’s in french.
    You should definitely watch it, ASAP.

    <3 Sam Bard · Jul 10, 11:36 AM · #

  13. Kate — Um, it probably IS worksafe, there is no nudity, it’s just kind of inappropriate. I have never been so happy not to be a man after discovering that site!

    sarah von & Zan — Haha, it’s so funny you both know him! I wonder if you know each other?!

    AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes — The Japanese are pretty much the coolest people on the planet, you should be proud as hell! Hee! & I love your name, you must be an oldschool Rasputina fan!

    Nikkidee & Sprinkle — Hey cuties! I wasn’t planning on going to Warped but who knows, I could be persuaded… maybe!

    Sam Bard — I love Amelie, it is one of my favourite movies of all time! It makes me bawl my eyes out!

  14. Gala,

    The link you placed for Awkward Family Photos was set to (http://awkwardfamilyportraits.com/) but it should be (http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/).

    It’s an amazingly funny site, so glad you shared it! I fell in love with the photo of the three boys with their Thriller jackets on!

    Pandora looked awfully familiar to me, and it turns out she was featured on Altamira NYC’s blog some time ago.

    Thanks for the Carousel!
