Spring 2008 Trends from Who What Wear Daily.
The Ones We Love is a super-cute project which is worth your eyeballs’ time!
Palms Out Sounds is an excellent source for remixes. Their Remix Sunday posts are fantastic! I especially love “An Open Letter To NYC” off Remix Sunday 96 & think it might be great for hoop stars!
My old favourite, Tina Su, cooked up a couple of fabulous articles this week — Train Your Eyes To See Color, Again & The 7 Spiritual Laws Of Success (which I love love love).
20 Qualities for a Successful Life from Dumb Little Man!
More Corey Worthington craziness. Best t-shirt ever... thank you Nubby!
America’s Next Top Model season 10 contestants! I think I like Claire… & that’s about it. I also suspect my love affair with this tawdry show is almost over.
The Love Mattress from design is mine — ultimate snuggling capacity! Hugs at warp speed! Beep beep! Too cool.
The Gossip Girl Guide To New York. Ahhh, two of my favourite things. How fabulous.
“STOP BANGING!”
Hahah!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

“Daria Werbowy in W magazine. Yum.” Linky no worky? :(
Oh oh oh, that Love Mattress is just too awesome. I would love to have one in white & recreate the scene from gossipgirl (where S gives Dan his christmas present) with my boy with it! Teehee. The gossipgirl guide to NYC would be so much fun. I’ve always wanted to do the SATC tour of NYC and sit on the steps of Carrie’s apartment & tell someone to “Get off my stoop!” – I forget what episdoe that’s from but SJP is adorable when she says it nonetheless. :)
Felicity — Oh, poo! I couldn’t find the right link, either… have deleted the mention. Shame, it was glorious!
Hahah, I loooove “get off my stoop”! When Miranda is pregnant & Carrie says, “Let’s get you a forklift” when she’s about to stand up. Ahahaha. I hear that the SATC tour is full of SCREECHING WOMEN which I think would drive me a bit nuts. I wouldn’t mind doing the tour alone & on my own time, though~!
Poo indeed! I’m sure the plentiful amount of carousel eye & mind candy you have bestowed on us nonpareils this week will more than satisfy, even without it. :)
Hehehe that’s the one! <3 Oh god, is it a guided tour? I figured they just gave you a map & transport instructions & let you find your own way to the SATC sites. No thank you to the screeching wimminz! Blergh!
Felicity — I once read a review of the tour which made my skin crawl. I tried to find it but couldn’t, argh! But I do know that the tour guide wears a pink feather boa :| & everyone descends on Manolo Blahnik after too much champagne & the staff roll their eyes. ARGH!
Hi Gala! I love this week’s Carousel! (I used to pronounce it carOUsel, like carousing…that amused me when I was younger). Anyways, I’m loving ANTM and Gossip Girl too! :)
EWWIE! Sounds very unlike my cup of tea! Think I’ll be giving that one a big ol’ miss when I go to NYC. Thanks for the information Miss Galapedia. :D xox
Hey Gala, I think I read the same review you did of the SATC tour! Horrid, but WOW I’m glad NYC’s easy enough to navigate without a guide…
Ditto to the ANTM, too! I wonder what happened to Heather, though :( I think she was everyone’s favorite.
Quality! as always lady gala! dont have time to read the articles atm they look amazing though…just what I need to hear atm me thinks.
*that video is too precious! made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes..im such a goob! * about the trends I have wanted super gladiators for the longest time! the rest isn’t partiuclarly me though..
*oh my gosh that t-shirt is priceless!!! I want one! what a saga hey…the media here sometimes make me cringe so badly.
-also thanks for linking to music, love hearing about new stuff
xxoo
As always this was fabulous Gala! i think i spent about an hour on the ones we love site, and that video is going straight to my favs!
byebye now
Everytime I try to leave ‘top model’ it pulls me back in. I say ‘oh I’m done with that show, it’s not that interesting…’ But then a marathon comes on and ‘oh I’ll just watch for a minute.’ Hours later, I am once again addicted.
And that bed looks awesome. I would gladly snuggle all night with that.
bon!
86 in that video made my heart sing!
Aww Gala thank you for mentioning me!
Ah, Gossip Girl love appears to be universal :].
Wow! The “love mattress” is such a good idea… How many times have I tried to snuggle close to my hubby only to have to pull away due to cramped or smashed arms/legs!
However, I’m not sure if I’m excited or scared about the “super gladiator” sandal trend. o_0
Thanks for another wonderful list this week, Gala!
oh, antm. i think aimee is quite pretty, and fatima has the most bangin’ bod i’ve seen in ages. i hate her hair though, it should have much more weight on top. :/
ack! i mean amy. amy is pretty. aimee is not. that is going to get really confusing.
Randall Munroe’s cuddle mattress is way cooler.

(ps. xkcd=best webcomic evar.)
oh speak of Gossip Girl, have you seen Cashmere Mafia yet? OMG the clothes! they are just sooo out there, Lucy Lu in particular.. just not sure about her get up AT ALL.
Amy — That is AWESOME.
Miss Dot — Yup. I am not a fan of the show. I saw the first episode & gave up ;D
i saw sufjan stevens at the forum last night..
at one point he put on a cap & pair of sunnies & did a good natured impersonation of corey.. everyone was laughing their arse off, so good.
oh & that shirt is too funny!
What a hilarious T-shirt! Too bad that I live in the US. No one will get it!
Yeah, I got over ANTM a really long time ago. I don’t like how edited the images have become at all. It’s not…pure. The first few seasons had the most beautiful girls, but now the show’s about getting ratings, not producing talent.
Speaking of pure, I hope you get a chance to read this article, it’s great – http://zenhabits.net/2008/01/one-simple-principle-to-live-by-purity/

I’m in loooooveeee
That mattress reminds me of the scene in Mallrats where Brody talks about not having a place to put his arm. This would have fixed that!
I LOOVVE gossip girl too. its so rad, i cant stand it. i am so glad you like it too! it’s not even a guilty pleasure, i love it publicly!
the only thing that ruins it a bit for me is that they used one of my bf’s songs in the first episode in the new year (which should have been a very exciting event) and it was played in the background in the cafe and you could barely hear it, i only noticed it because i knew when it would be played! it totally ruined an awesome event.
sorry i vented, anyway, your new hair is awesome, i am in awe of your beautiful self every time i click on your website, you are truly a very cool individual!
and i totally agree about the cashmere mafia, it is so badly done! and the stylist needs her head examined!
love you gala!
:O Christian Louboutin’s Persian Rug is FABULOUS!!!
