Carousel -- Week Ending 17th August 2007
[ 17 August 2007 ]
Some links to keep your eyes busy on a Friday…
Smart Questions That Will Super Charge Your Life, from Lifehack.org. I really like this, & have already started doing this every morning.
My amazing friend Star did an illustration of me based on a photograph I posted a while ago. She detailed the steps she took in creating the picture, & it’s really cool, so have a look!
Opportunity Knocks, a column by Maggie Alderson (one of my favourite fashion columnists) about disposable fashion. Definitely worth reading, & thanks to Love In Melbourne for posting!
This is one of the most amazing sets on Flickr that I have ever seen. I have no idea how it was done, but I love it, it is totally gorgeous.
Paris, Je T’Aime shot by Steven Meisel. (I like him a lot.) I love the decadence of this shoot, & it has a very 80’s feel to me, which is quite interesting.
Life Sucks, Then You Die by Steve Pavlina, about creating your own life. He makes some good points.
Most beautiful candles ever thanks to Design Is Mine! I looooooooove these. They would go perfectly with my psychedelic-grandma decorating scheme…
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

those candles made me so hungry!
Your own content is always wonderful, & I love the links that you list here too. Really rad & inspiring.
it looks like those pictures on flickr were taken with a really slow shutter speed, while one person posed and the another ran around them with a lighter or torch or somehing of the sort – they are really beautiful.
Thank you muchly miss gala!
you are so rad.
that flickr photoset is an example of light painting:

My friend Peter Zebbler (of aqua teen hunger force bomb threat fame) made some stuff like that last year:

p.s. I am going to a party at Mary Bee’s house tonight! I’ll be sure to take pictures.
sarah — Me too. Like Ms. Design Is Mine said, I think I would have a hard time lighting them too…
Sam — Merci ;>
star — Yay yay yay! Please give Mary a big kiss for me & send her my undying adoration! I WISH I was going to the burn with you two incredible women!
laughs I love that photo shoot for Vogue. Did you see the movie?
I will be sure to do that.
We’ll miss you at the burn! Hopefully we can make it work out next year. If not…you should just come visit us in LA. We live like 3 blocks apart. Small world!
Thanks sweetie! Whoooo – that was a great little distraction!
The candles, the jewellery the other day, the cheap glees . . you are quite the foodie, eh?
I guess the photography was done with an extra-long exposure time and somebody waving a little light-source around – I’ve seen a video of someone doing it, but I’m stuffed if I can remember where. Those particular photos are exceptional!
Katrina — No! Was it any good?
star — I’m still holding out hope that some supremely generous person is going to buy me an airplane ticket ;D That’s great that you live so close! Mary is one of my most favourite Americans of all time!
Nadine -- I'm pretty keen on food these days, yup. Makes a nice change! Haha. I'm making up for lost tiiiiiiime! :D
those flickr photos are absolutely beautiful!
and yes, aren’t those candles fabulous? i think macaroons are some of the most lovely things ever.
those photos. wow. mind=blown.
this is kinda irrelevant but today i saw this girl

over at thesartorialist and thought you might like. her skirt is a man’s shirt!
haha, i blogged about those macaroon candles a little while ago from rose and radish. isn’t it the cutest?
i was SO intent on ordering some, then i found out it was OUT OF STOCK!!! i was more than peeved. ugh. my weekend will be nothing like carousels… it’ll be full of boxes and panicking. i’m moving to new york on monday. woohoo!
bluebird — I saw that! She looked fantastic, very clever :>
gilda — Congratulations, New York! That’s so exciting, you must be nervous but STOKED! Please be sure to post lots of pictures on your blog so I can drool my face off!
I liked it. :) It was a bunch of short stories, mostly romances, all in Paris.
That Paris photoshoot is gorgeous. I wish the world was still filled with people who dressed along those lines – especially the care that was take in sculpting the hair and the artistic painting of the face.
The hat on the Belle Fluer page might have been my favorite.
