  1. That last article may be mean, but it made me giggle. Sweet links!

  2. I heart Francesca Lia Block! A friend forced her on me in my first year of university and after devouring the Weetzie Bat series, I felt like such a douche for fighting her in the first place. Block is largely responsible for my love of angst- and joy-based teenage lit. I just read “Wasteland” and was blown away again. Blog me up, baby!

  3. That last article is hilarious. My dad gets mad at me for mentioning Stephen Fry when we talk about twitter, he says I talk like he’s an authority on the whole enterprise. Psh!

  4. Great list. I just found out about Texts from Last Night last week and it has been cracking me up ever since. It is the FUNNIEST thing ever. Have you been to someecards.com? That’s also pretty entertaining…

  5. oooooh

    p.s. i have not forgotten about your surprise. one of your presents is currently in the wash…

  6. That NYT article on Susan Boyle and assumptions based on looks is just fascinating. The whole phenom unsettled me, and it was interesting (and a little gratifying) to hear some experts weigh in on why people reacted so strongly to her.

  7. the mickey mouse wedding photo was super cute (:
    & i love the Inside Grey Gardens link – thanks!

    <3 Nadine · May 1, 04:08 PM · #

  9. Love the twitter article!!! tehehehehe

  10. And indeed there will be time
    To wonder, “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”
    Time to turn back and descend the stair,
    With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—
    [They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”]
    My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
    My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—
    [They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”]
    Do I dare
    Disturb the universe?
    In a minute there is time
    For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

  11. Why are there never TiLTs anymore? =(

    <3 K · May 1, 04:24 PM · #

  12. hey gorgeous girl thanks so much for the linky to my little site…I knew you would like the bunny ears wedding!

    <3 kat - rock n roll bride · May 1, 05:25 PM · #

  13. Models reading! Sexy times two! I am enthused.

    <3 Lauren · May 1, 06:29 PM · #

  14. Hi – I spend an ridiculous amount of time reading your website. Navigating from your website today I visited lots of very cool websites. This is one of the best things about galadarling.com. I am enlightened on a regular basis. So anyway, I digress. While out traveling the net I came upon Daryl Hannah’s website where I watched a short video about the South Central Garden in L.A, So here is my point…Forever21 has purchased the property that is the South Central Garden and have plans to bulldoze the largest urban garden in the country to erect a warehouse! As a regular visitor to your site I see many items from Forever21. I’m asking you to visit www.southcentralfarmers.com to read about this and perhaps join others to boycott Forever21. You could reach so many people and perhaps be a great help in preserving this wonderful garden. Thanks.

  15. Hi! Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your site (this batch of links has been particularly good to me), and also I was wondering if I could use one of your coined phrases for a blog name? Back in 2007 you predicted the fashion for Summer/Autumn and basically described EXACTLY how I want to dress all the time. You called this “Cyborg Coquette,” and I would love, with your permission, to use this as a blog title! :) Thanks for having such a fabulous website. [hughug!]

  16. the twitter article is too ironic to be funny. it could be amusing if there weren’t such bitter undertones. i mean, he’s really wound up about it!

    <3 harriet · May 1, 11:21 PM · #

  17. The mouse ears idea is so cute! I am newly engaged as of tonight! So I need all the wedding ideas I can get :D :D eeeeeee!

    <3 Danabelle · May 1, 11:52 PM · #

  18. No TiLT? =(

    <3 Luxxy · May 2, 12:52 AM · #

  19. That shoot for Agent Provocateur is incendiary, I love it

    And texts from last night is too awesome.

  20. Just had to mention how happy I am that I found your blog. I just love TILT and Carousel. They just make me happy :) Thank you Gala.

    <3 Roisin · May 2, 03:22 AM · #

  21. I COULD NOT agree any more with the article on happiness. And I’m a little nostalgic about geocities. At least angelfire is still functional, eh?

    <3 Claire · May 2, 04:09 AM · #

  22. The pictures from Grey Gardens were amazing. I just saw the movie with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore this week. What a sad story.

    <3 YSLGuy · May 2, 06:42 AM · #

  23. I loved the photographs of Grey Gardens. Also I’m going to be in New York that week where they kick off the cleanse. I’m curious to wander into that Urban Zen place. Auto-tune the news thing… wtf-awesome.

    <3 Cyrelle · May 2, 07:42 AM · #

  24. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks so hot in that photoshoot! I would love to look like her.

    And I remember my Geocities website- it was such a shambles but I loved it!

    <3 Daisy Banham · May 2, 07:46 AM · #

  25. OMG! the dripping blood gif! I had it saved on a diskette!!! Fuck, times go by so quickly!
    I want to cry now, I had totally forgotten of my first website, a Nirvana fanpage on GeoCities.
    And this! www.geocities.com/gothicunity/... made me laugh so badly at times nobody seemed to know what goth was (on my country) and I was a lone wolf teen making friends over the internet and collecting all kinds of usefull developing information.
    I love you, Internet!

    <3 Laeticia · May 2, 01:49 PM · #

  26. Is it considered to be horribly rude and tacky if I put my blog here?

    <3 Bexxx · May 2, 08:06 PM · #
