Hot Gay Sex Is For Homophobes & WTF Is Feminist Porn?, Violet Blue’s most recent columns in the SF Chronicle.
The Positivity Blog is my new favourite place online! I especially like 16 Things I Wish They Had Taught Me in School, Picasso’s Top 7 Tips for Creating an Exciting Life, Do You Make These 10 Mistakes In A Conversation? & 18 Ways To Improve Your Body Language. Awesome ++.
12 Rules for Getting a Grip on Massive ProBlogger Email by Leo Babauta of Zen Habits. Great tips for anyone who receives a lot of email, like, uh… me! Here’s what Darren Rowse did to get in control of his email: From 10000 to 0 Emails in an Inbox in 24 Hours.
An amazing photoshoot based on Maggie Gyllenhaal’s role in Secretary. Thanks, Julia!
Savvy Strategies for Seven Shopping Problems. Merci beaucoup, Carleen Bean!
This week I have been a panelist in the E-Festival Of Ideas’ panel The Creative Entrepreneur’s Toolkit: A How-to Guide for Young Artists. If you click the link, you’ll see what we’ve been discussing — it’s pretty interesting, if I do say so myself!
Laura Laine does lovely fashion illustrations. I featured a couple of her illustrations in my Things I Love Thursday mosaic yesterday! (More here!)
John-Paul Pietrus did a fabulous Egyptian-themed shoot. Queen Nefertari Museum? I would so love to go there! (& I featured two of his photos yesterday, too!)
A beautiful day planner for April which you can print from the Epinettes community on Livejournal. So cute.

Lies I’ve Told My 3 Year Old Recently by Raul Gutierrez. I like this.
Swissmiss has discovered ink-jet tattoo paper! How unbelievably awesome & tempting is that?!
Photographs by Jennifer Tzar. (NSFW.) I love the girl dressed as a Native American (even though it looks kind of like Lily Cole, who I normally don’t like), the girl with an eye-patch & the girl lying on the ground in a military jacket. Sauce central!
On the hunt for a fun, colourful dress to wear this summer? Shrinkle‘s your girl! She just put up a whole lot of new designs.
Similarly, are you on the look-out for some interesting art to adorn your walls? Check out these prints from The Stuntkid (aka Jason Levesque).
That’s all I’ve got for now!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

omg i’m already following the advice of the positivity blog and the thought of the month of progress up ahead. Therefore I’m not allowed to read this weeks tantalising carousel until my essay is complete! ARGh it’s going to be so tempting!
Shrinkle dresses + positivity blog = love!
Thanks for the mention, Gala, I really appreciate it. And I’m glad that you like the blog. Have a fun weekend! =)
Those shopping strategies will come in very handy!
Now I just need some advice on how to cut my shopping addiction ;)
I never comment but I am a constant reader… Your posts are always filled with inspiring positivity and I love that you come up with so many more fun, interesting things to read and look at every week! This fantastic quote solidified why I will be moving (back) to San Francisco as soon as possible:
“Once, under the rainbow flag in Harvey Milk Plaza, some guy literally got up on a crate and started shouting anti-homosexual scripture at passers-by. Within a few minutes, another man arrived dressed in white lace drag and brought a boombox, set it up in front of the man on the crate, played Madonna’s “Material Girl” louder than the man could shout, and danced until the other man gave up and left.”
HAHAHA and amen! Keep up the great work, Gala! And thanks!
I love those articles by Violet Blue! She kix.
Those lies for the 3 year old are so sweet&touching…I want to write them down &put them up around the place.
The Jennifer Tzar photos are really beautiful too..love the one with the skeleton makes me giggle. I love art that is surprising and intriguing. also loved the egpytian photoshoot.
the last stuntkid link didn’t seem to work though? just went straight through to shrinkles shop again.

my mom got me tattoo ink-jet paper for christmas ages ago and i still haven’t tried it! i’ll make a vow to do it this weekend.
especially because i’ll be 18 soon and it’ll give me a chance to test out some of my tattoo ideas!
I LOVE Overheard in New York!! It’s so funny and totally shocking that people would actually say half the stuff on there
Hope you have a good weekend Gala!! :)
Oohh, nice! Gonna take my time to have a look through a lot of these cool things! :)
thanks so much for all these beautiful links, gala! i esp. love the article on karl. the man’s just a class of his own, and he always re-invents reality as he likes it best.
“I put on weight in the early ’90s because clothes were so large, then they got tighter, so I slimmed down.”
fashion had nothing to do with him piling on the pounds. he did put on the weight because he simply did not care about himself anymore when his great love jacques de bascher passed away but acknowledging that would be too human, too normal, for karl lagerfeld, and so he prefers to say that his weight gain was all about fashion. i feel sorry for him in a way…
Great links this week Gala! I found many of them extremely useful. I look forward to when I’ll have more time after class to go explore them all.
Awwww, why don’t you like Lily Cole, Gala?
Valerie — I don’t know! She just doesn’t appeal to me & I find her really boring. It’s hard to describe. She just doesn’t turn my crank, unfortunately.
I could NOT sleep last night and overheard in new york had me in fits of laughter at 5.30 in the morning
ahh i love jezebel!
and karl. he so crazy. it’s amazing.
Aww, you mentionned prim! I’m the one that made the post about it on blackcigarette :)
The positivity blog is great, thanks
