It’s little this week, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! Tomorrow, a bunch of us will be riding the Central Park carousel for real — if you can make it to the Virgo extravaganza, please do!

<3 Dhrumil Purohit Gives 6 Tips On Having A Beautiful Relationship With Food. I love Dhru & it wigs me out that he is only a year older than me — he is wise beyond his years! This article is a really great read for everyone, regardless of whether you eat vegetarian/vegan/raw or just eat cupcakes all day! If you want more, this is excellent as well.

<3 Yoko Ono’s LIFE PIECE VIII.

<3 A saucy new promotion from Agent Provocateur — yum!

<3 New Yorkers are funny. Proof. & again!

<3 Apnea’s journal. I didn’t even know she had one, & now I love it! It is oh so funny, & also NSFW! I love her porn reviews. “Dance music comes on. Sounds like it would be the Brazilian Olympic Haircutting team’s anthem.” “She sounds like she’s drinking a slurpee.” Good times!

<3 Sera Beak asks, Who’s Your Daddy?

<3 Eating Our Way To Death, Literally from Think Simple Now.

<3 A beautiful black & white spread, reposted via Fashion Is Spinach. Yum.

<3 Guerilla Road Signs !!!

<3 Seth Godin on remembering.

<3 & a little something for your ears — a new Kanye track.

Okay… Enjoy your weekend!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Awesome!!

    Thanks Gala…I always love what you come up with.

  2. Thanks for the links! I love Yoko Ono’s Life Piece.

  3. I’m so disappointed to miss your party! I will just have to wait for some photos…

  4. The comments on ‘Eating Your Way to Death, Literally’ I think are almost more important than the article itself, to get a more balanced perspective on the topic and some interesting notes along with what Tina has said. Personally, I’m a believer in a happily balanced diet, but I think it’s down to the individual. Studies in this area are often contradictory and easily misquoted to favour one side of the vegan/vegetarian argument or the other. Ethical, environmental and health issues all need to be considered, but I think that the easiest way to ensure you are healthy is everything in moderation, along with plenty of exercise! Staying at in a reasonable weight range is what will cut down many of these health risks the most. :)

    And on an unrelated note Apnea has to be my favourite model of all time. Sassy, gorgeous, intelligent, business savvy…talented…the list of things I admire about her could go on for hours! I think she’s definitely an inspirational role model for me, especially considering all the things she’s gone through!

  5. I absolutely crave information like the post ‘Eating Your Way to Death, Literally’ thanks for posting. I agree with Lauren that moderation is important, but since changing my diet to vegetarian I can tell an absolute difference in the way my body feels. I try my hardest to eat vegan (it is so hard for me to resist cheese) and when I stick to a diet primarily of veggies, nuts and fruit I feel more energized and light. When I eat the more typical American diet of meat, dairy, heavy carbs and lots of sugar I feel lethargic and depressed. Diet is so important to our physical and mental health!

  6. Overheard in NY has saved me from many a boring day in the office <3

    <3 Katie · Sep 13, 06:40 AM · #

  7. Oooh, the new Kanye song sounds fantastic! And ugh, one day I will buy something from Agent Provocateur when I can afford it. One day. One day for sure.

    <3 Liz · Sep 13, 08:55 AM · #

  8. Those street signs are SUCH a fabulous idea. My bro-in-law is a Reno resident, I’ll have to ask him if he’s seen them about. And then figure out how to make my own!

  9. Hey Gala, that website about eating our way to death, literally, was an awesome find. Thank you so much for putting it up. Because I’ve really been in that whole vegan lifestyle before, but I just lived on bread and organic spreads hahaha, but I’m considering making an effort this time (if I’ve really chosen to endeavor this healthy organic lifestyle), for the animals sake, because they are innocent… Poor piggies.

    I liked the Agent Provocateur scheme too. Although I think the lighting and photography could have been improved, as well as the theme. It’s not that original, and I expected better of the AP team. It reminds me of America’s Next Top Model (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing).

    Good work Miss Darling, hope you have a super scrumdiddyalumptious birthday tomorrow! Go shorty, it’s ya birthday, we’re gonna party like it’s ya birthday. Woo, fiddy said it

  11. Yay! Apnea’s journal! I adore her. I really hope she is in NY touring with Emilie Autumn on November 10th, it will be such a treat to see her and Aprella together.

    <3 Ashley · Sep 13, 10:56 AM · #

  12. Short but sweet, I like the post on remembering.

    <3 Bridget · Sep 13, 11:21 AM · #

  13. I love the black & white shots.
    By the way, Gala, I own that pink & white floral dress from forever 21 that you have & I wore it today & thought of you! haha. :]

    <3 Katelyn · Sep 13, 11:23 AM · #

  14. I liked the article about livestock/meat.

    i hope that a few people can learn from this. i sent it to my dad, he really needs to change his diet.

    <3 Amelia · Sep 13, 01:00 PM · #

  15. What are we doing if the weather sucks tomorrow?
    I’ll show regardless

    <3 Ipsum · Sep 13, 01:14 PM · #

  16. Oh Gala, it’s not nearly a little carousel! Quite full of delights.

    Happy (early) Birthday to you! I’ll actually be in one of New York’s other cities tomorrow, Syracuse! So I won’t be able to see you, so sad. Enjoy anyway!

    <3 Beth · Sep 13, 04:52 PM · #

  17. i’m reading the sarah beak article about shadow kings, and it is so fascinating. i feel like i struggle with those conflicting and criticizing inner thoughts as well. thanks for posting that. she seems like a very enlightened person.
