Carousel -- Week Ending 12th December 2008
[ 11 December 2008 ]
Yay! Friday! Aaaaaaaalright!
Steve Pavlina writes about calibration.
THIS MADE MY MONTH! Thanks, Jake!
I’m not like the other girls. Also, I got new shoes.
twittervision is kinda cool.
Lemonade Poem is one of my new favourite LJ communities. I especially like their Sunday Sundries posts!
Advice To Sink In Slowly: great posters for £5 a pop! My favourites include work outside, words are not enough & work hard make beautiful things.
I really love Ask Nicole. Especially this post: Iceberg Lettuce, Alaska & a Nymphomaniac.
Oh, do you know Angeliska? She is lovely. Friend of friends. One day I will meet her in person & we will make big eyes at one another. But until then I very much enjoy globules of black honey from her bee-long. Oh yes.
Angeline Melin is my new favourite fashion illustrator! She is fabulous!
Circus, Circus, the progression of Britney Spears at Pretty Much Amazing! I don’t care for Britney but this feature piece is really interesting from a sociological viewpoint.
La Fraise have cute shirts.
Violet Blue has a new project: Violet Blue’s San Francisco. I can’t think of a better virtual tour guide, can you?
My Summer Adventures In Juice Cleansing by Sarma.
My Love Calculator is weird & great at the same time.
Jake showed me this.
It made me laugh very much.
I’m going to feel like a loser at my high-school reunion. Cary Tennis tackles the big problems, oh yes he do.
I was celibate for 15 years from Salon.
Zombie Fashion Models Show Off More Than Skin !!! So cool!
Someone made a mixtape of an old Valentine’s Day playlist I wrote about.
It’s A Wonderful Orgasm: Violet Blue’s guide to frisky holiday gifts!
Elyse Sewell is by far the best, coolest, most awesome thing ever to come out of America’s Next Top Model. (Jade would be my second runner-up, I think.)
Miss Dior Cherie is my most often worn perfume… & when I wear it, I feel exactly like this.
Have a fantastic weekend, but remember to come back for the Solestruck, Lucid New York & Mike Dooley giveaways! Wooooooooooooo!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

That HST PostSecret is my desktop right now! Insane coincidence.
j’adore the Miss Dior Cherie clip…
reminds me of frolicking about paris, devouring macarons and oogling exceptionally delightful ladies and gents in autumn, summer and spring.
thanks for adding a smile to my day xx
NICOLE GEORGES! I adore her and her zines~ I wrote Ask Nicole about moving to Portland, and she gave me quite sound advice~ and I’ve discovered so many amazing new things from this post! ah!
The Miss Dior Cherie clip is devine – talk about effective marketing!
The Salon article is beautifully candid too, such honesty.
Great selection x.
That Miss Dior Cherie clip made me uber happy, oui oui it did!
Gala! I saw this and was immediately reminded of you! You should buy this, one for you and one for me so we can be clutch best friends. : ) ( Just.kidding of course, unless you’re in the spirit….: D

Oh gee, I dont know why it didnt work.
It was a cupcake clutch. : ) If you type that in the search, you’ll see it!
Anyways, I just thought you would like it!
Angeliska is my friend in real life! You should come to Austin, Texas to visit for the gypsy block dance parties that she throws! I’ll bring you my vegan icecream!
“I’m not like the other girls”, hahahaha, great find!
re elyse sewell, have you seen her blog?
i never paid much attention on ANTM but it was spotlighted on LJ lately, and it is quite amusing.

The Elyse Sewell photos are so cool. I especially like the one of her in the big dress in the doorway of the bus.
Also, the I Got New Shoes cartoon and the Words Are Not Enough poster are very cool. I like! I like!
I have three of ths PostSecret books. They are amazing.
And VBSF is a great way to discover SF even if I have lived near it for the past 20 years.
A fantastic Carousel! Thank you for all the goodness. Lovecal keep me amused for a good hour.
You always choose the best sites! I look forward to this post every week as it’s always a total treat to read through the links! Thanks for another fabulous Carousel!
SO many people are getting virtual high fives from me today.
That Miss Dior Cherie is like, everything I ever wanted in life… in one video clip!
Brigitte Bardot singing? Riding around Paris on a pink bike? Floating away with a big troop of pastel balloons?
Sign me up!
Ah, love PostSecret, love Violet Blue. Fantastic Carousel, doll!
Thank you so much for linking to my community! One of the people who found their way over via your post was kind enough to tell me where all the new members are coming from, so I thought I’d drop a quick thank you note. I’m so glad you like the community!
i love elyse sewell. i was reading her blog long before yours. lol
she’s very witty. but i wish she updated more often :(
ah, I love that perfume. It is my signature scent.
That is the cutest perfume ad I have ever seen!
PostSecret is coming to Amherst! I give those books to at least one person every holiday. I told all my girlfriends, we’re all so excited!
hehe, the zombie photos remind me of tatoos I used to want. I used to think it’d be really cool to get a tatoo of veins on the underside of my wrist and forearm, and then have lines pointing towards different parts with numbers/words at the end. Something like out of an anatomy book :) Black ink though.
Am i the only one or do other people also ‘bookmark’ a secret on postsecret when they like it? I really like this one 2.bp.blogspot.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg…
Hahaha at the lovecaculator i’m only 1 heart romantic, hmm should i worry now? Thanks for Violet Blue’s gift guide i think i now what to get for under the xmas tree now :)
Gala, Do you know what song that is, in the Dior commercial? I love it!
This is a fantastic way to end the week: thriftybusiness.blogspot.com/2…
Such a cute video!!!
i always love fashion illustration.
Great haul :D
I’m especially giddy that you read Steve’s blog.
I got in a rut a year or so ago with a friend. She read your blog and I read his. We both learned it was better to put away our troubles, we became better people, learned the exact same life lessons, and traded blogs.
. It was amazing.
Thanks, Gala!
