Carousel -- Week Ending 16th November 2007
[ 16 November 2007 ]
Happy Friday! Whee!
Linzie experiments with type, using spam subject lines, as demonstrated above. SO funny. I love this, heeeeeeee!
Wear What You Are by Claudia Cividino. (Thanks, Sami!)
Handbags of Horror! Radar magazine investigates the possible link between famous monsters & designer arm candy… Awesome.
Beautiful & creepy collages from miscollages!
Foto_decadent kind of owns my soul — Vlada Roslyakova is amazing. Incredible photos by Denise Grunstein. Drool! Photos by Andreas Kock also turn my crank.
The Art of Smiling & 7 Habits of Highly Innovative People, from Think Simple. Be Decisive.
50 ways to pass the time from Eli!
Fourfour recaps the latest episode of America’s Next Top Model. Ahhh, Rich, why you so funnnnny? “It’s so…mesmerizing. It’s as though they’re trying to seduce her with their torsos. “Come to our side, Sarah. We eat twigs and pebbles and we loooove it.”“ Really, you should read all his ANTM recaps — giggles aplenty.
No Impact Man rules. Someone asked him how he entertained his daughter without television. This is his reply. I am really not into children at all, but that post almost changes my mind on breeding. Almost!
Finally, Steve Pavlina’s recent article on Career Planning. I like this piece. Especially this bit…
“Your optimal career is simply this: Share the real you with the physical world through the process of creative self-expression. In order to do that, however, you must first discover the real you. But it makes no sense to choose a medium for self-expression (i.e. a traditional career), such as being a doctor, writer, or entrepreneur, until you first determine what it is you’re going to express.”
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Foto_decadent is way too amazing!!
I can get stuck there for hours.
Have a nice weekend Gala… mine doesn’t start until tomorrow.
I’m so glad you wrote today’s carousel early! I’m heading for the States this afternoon and was having palpitations at the thought of no iCiNG until I got to a computer there!
Ha-ha, I just posted on those Grunstein photos as well. They’re amazing.
On the subject of smiling, BBC has an really cool test where you try to spot fake smiles. I got 16 out of 20 right, which I figure isn’t too bad. It’s interesting to see the difference between genuine and fake when they so often look the same.

Oh my gosh, Gala!! Thank you millions for linking to that article “Wear What You Are”!!! I so needed to read that right now. ;) I hope you don’t mind, but I’m linking to it tomorrow in my Friday Inspiration post (crediting you as the source, of course! ;). Its so fabulous—it needs to be shared! hehe.
Ah! I loved this week’s carousel!
Especially the 50 ways to pass the time article…the things on it are the kind of things I’d do!
Eeeeee! ANTM recaps! 3 more days till I can watch it on channel 10 :>!
The No Impact Man article makes me reconsider watching television.
I love the carousels!! The NoImpact man is very good, I know kids that are attracted to the TV like if it was a gigantic magnet…and they can’t get out of it, is aweful :( Plus, I had never read that blog and is awesome! Thanks for the link :)
You might already know about this link, but it is a link to Gossip Girl fashion from each episode. Some of the links are the exact thing, but some are just similar articles of clothing. Have a fabulous weekend!

the handbags of horrors article was so funny….if you put them in that context those bags could be really ugly and oh so expensive….
i just came back and read Wear What You Are. over the last few years i have lost a LOT of interest in fashion (i hate to sound goodie-two-shoes but this was in direct proportion to the growth of my social conscience) but at the end of the day i am still interested in clothes and how we choose to dress.
i think Claudia’s line of “The inside informs the outside – not the other way around” is key, and something that we in the Western world would do well to remember. i think iCing is a good example of striking a nice balance between focusing on the inner and encouraging people to be the best they can be, and having fun with clothes and eyelashes and appreciating pretty things.
thanks for posting that link Gala! i dug it :)
It may interest you to do a little more research about Steve Pavlina, and how he is spamming forums and trying to put the blame on other people.

Jesp — I’m not really interested in “he said, she said” nonsense. I like some of what he writes & if I find anything online that strikes a chord with me & that I think will be useful to my readers, I link it. It’s pretty simple. No agenda here :>
