<3 World’s largest swimming pool!!! Go through all the pictures — you can SAIL on that thing!

This video rocks my world.

I love this but it is quite painful to watch.
It is a crazy man singing songs about each zodiac sign.
Proceed at your own risk!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. That swimming pool is the most FABULOUS, fantastic thing in the entire world. AAHHHH!!!

    Yay lovely long carousel, lots to keep me from actually cleaning today :) <3 char · Feb 1, 11:42 AM · #
  2. Wow, I can’t even wrap that swimming pool around my head!

    Kudos for posting about Kanye’s blog. I find it interesting that he frequently updates it & that he posts about some pretty crazy stuff. Just like Icing, it’s a daily stop for me. :)

    I also love the little glasses comic. Too cute. Maybe true.

    <3 grace · Feb 1, 12:03 PM · #
  3. That zodiac video is CRAZY!

    And I love the dip-dye tights, too – I just posted about them yesterday! They look EXACTLY like the Christian Lacroix ones – except they’re almost free! Free = Great!!

    I’m really loving the Raw Foods links you’re posting. I liked your entire article, too, so keep it coming! ;)

    xoxo.

    <3 Miss Elle · Feb 1, 12:03 PM · #

  6. Miss Elle — I love the zodiac video SO SO much, I am going to make the Virgo song my new ringtone. & I am going to learn it & sing it in the street! Sooooo funny.

    <3 Gala · Feb 1, 12:05 PM · #
  7. You’ve truly excelled yourself this week, Gala. I’m about to go to bed just now, but in the morning I’m going to be checking out all the link goodness. In fact, I couldn’t resist the Chopra article. I leave the rest for tomorrow!

  8. I’ve been obsessed with Betsey Johnson’s pink palace for such a long time…
    My mommy took one look at it in Elle Decoration Magazine and said, “Well isn’t this the perfect future home for you? Greenwich Village AND pink…can’t get any better than that.”

    Unfortunately, I need to make the money first :-P.

    <3 Noel · Feb 1, 12:58 PM · #
  9. i saw that swimming pool on SMH too… crazy innit? i have a bit of a thing for glamorous swimming pools so i am loving this one!

    <3 lcmo · Feb 1, 01:13 PM · #
  10. dearest gala,
    I so want Betsey Johnson’s pink penthouse. I’m allowed to dream aern’t I? At least it’s a good source of inspiration for decorating.

    Loved the tapping road map too. EFT’s being very helpful, and I loved the genius stroke pictures and the positive carnival.

    Oh, and Tim Walker truly is a genius.

    Well, thanks afor a little distraction…I’m going to the kitchen for something sweet and then back to work. I’ve got two biiig tests tomorrow.

    Infinite x’s & o’s…

    <3 jennine · Feb 1, 02:59 PM · #
  14. haha…oh my god that Zodiac video is hilarious! Thank you, Gala, for posting it. I needed a good laugh. What’s sad is that it’s right….“Don’t want the raggedy, cheap and the shoddy”. Yep, that’s me as much as I hate to admit it…Lib liba lib libraaaa!

    <3 Erin B. · Feb 1, 03:00 PM · #
  15. I instantly love Fop and Dandies because of the entry of Daria. I SO wanted to be her when I was 10!

    And those wallpapers are adorable, that screensaver though in incredible, I’ve got it all set up on my laptop now!

    <3 AmyTheFreak · Feb 1, 03:07 PM · #
  16. Harvey Sid Fisher is great! I got to dance with him at one of his shows on a recent tour. Check out harveysidfisher.com to hear more…

  17. I’m sorry, but as a believer in non-binary gender and as one of those boring “Wimmin’s Lib” type people, “After all, what’s the point of having two genders if we all act he same?” made me feel sick to my stomach. Oh Deepak, Deepak, Deepak…
    But AH, the Lisbon sisters’ boudoir is my ultimate dream bedroom.

    <3 nana · Feb 2, 02:57 AM · #
  18. Here is something more on Virgo for you, Gala !

  19. i love long carrousel rides over the weekend! also : http://www.polanoid.net/ for those of us in love with different types of vintage!

    <3 cordelia · Feb 2, 02:55 PM · #
  20. OK, I’m getting a hulahoop right now.

    <3 Christina · Feb 3, 03:12 AM · #
  21. I tried EFT for the first time today through that link, to try and fix my procrastination problem. I haven’t finished the essay I was focussing on although I do feel brighter and more motivated but more importantly it highlighted to me I have a lot of issues I really need to address.

    It was weird, I was tapping and just started crying and I got this awful pressure headache in my temple for a few minutes.

    Now I understand why you recommended water.

    <3 Starfelt · Feb 3, 05:36 AM · #
  22. hehe, gotta love the singing zodiac. i used to have a record from the sixties of a man “rapping” over psychedelic music about the zodiac signs. i would invite friends over and we would listen to it in the dark, as the album cover suggested :)

    <3 natalie · Feb 3, 05:54 AM · #
  23. hehe virgOOOOOOOO virgOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    thank you soooo much for the astrology video, it made me laugh so hard!

    i’ve seen christabel hoop before at decompression, she is awesome and sooo graceful!!! i think she is also a raw foodist. i used to check up on her blog (hoopgirl.com/blog) every now and then and sometimes she would post recipes for smoothies and hummus and stuff. :)

    <3 Rachel Radness! · Feb 3, 11:23 AM · #
  24. Oh, Mr. Chopra …..

    (is tired of men telling women what they SHOULD know or do)

    Yay for hooping & Betsey & raw food :]

    <3 Allison · Feb 3, 03:01 PM · #
  25. I’m a Virgo as well and I have to say that song is hilarious. I think I am in love with the dancer’s costume for Leo.

    For the record I am a huge Etsy fan, and I spied these vegan candles in a cupcake scent and thought of you Gala!

    I know that it’s a little late for the Carousel, but they look so delicious that I just had to share them with you. Have a lovely day sweetheart!

    <3 Lauren · Feb 4, 01:25 AM · #
  26. Hhahahahaha! I can’t believe you posted that swimming pool! I used to go to Algarrobo on summer when I was a kid;we had a cute little blue house on a hill. Those buildings are aweful, they block the view of the amazing beach there…but yeah, the pool is pretty cool. A very strange chilean achievment (Am I proud of being chilean for that? Don’t think so xD)
    Thanks for the link on the tights how-to!
