Eiffel Tower Webcam! Is Paris the ultimate winter city? I think it might be.
More fuel on the Michael J. Fox fire: What I’ve Learned. Ditto Jack Nicholson, Donald Trump, Richard Branson, Hugh Hefner & Werner Herzog. I LOVE these articles & have been thinking about them all week.
This Oleg Micheyev photoshoot is awesome.

Oh Gala… you’re so lovely =)
Ahh! I’m sorry! I left 3 of the same comment. Oh well… that just means you’re 3 times lovely!
Re: Tank Girl- I saw the re-design a few months ago, and I think it’s weird too. I mean, the new illustrations are really pretty, but they just aren’t the same old, bad-ass Tank Girl that we know and love. I think I’m gonna check out the new books anyway though… We’ll see…
Those Esquire articles are great, Gala. I love Werner Herzog. Thanks for sharing them :)
I love fashion forecasts! Thanks!
Yay! Something to keep me occupied tomorrow! I’d love to sneak at these now (I LOVE Coilhouse) but I am sleepy. Nighty night!

So, I have no idea who or what “Tank -girl” is or was, but I have to say she looked much more suited to her previous look.
As for the fashion forecast, sounds like it is going to be my year. Alot of black, berets, boots, and patent leather. 2008 will be a very beatnik year me thinks.
Oh my goodness, I have never, ever been as cold as I was after a day of strolling around Paris in February. And I’m from Finland...
OH MY GOD, that Michael J Fox article is unreal! Thank you so much for that!

Nadine — I KNOW. How good are those quotes?! Arrrghhh I love him even more than I did!
Wonderful list! :)
The photos by Avedon are gorgeous aren’t they? And i will definitely be taking a look at those ‘What I’ve learned’ articles!
Those old pictures are awesome…I also think that life should look like that! I own this amazing book called Fashion through the decades and I always stop in the 1940’s part, is so beautiful
tank girl, no! what happened?? i used to have the biggest crush on her. yeah, on a comic book character. but still.
can I dress like a golden era parisian movie star all of the time? those photos are amazing! Paris is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been too. I still have Audrey Hepburn esque fantasies about it.
I’d love love love to learn how to do my make up to do the doe eyes to full effect (I am very good at liquard eyeliner) + my eyebrows, but I don’t know where to look. It would make awesome to learn how to do make up from different eras.
I love looking at fashionable people in their stylish clothes!! In the Bazaar PDF there’s a pic of Ms Moss in sparkly blue… after seeing that photo quite a few years back, I bought similar material and got Granny to help me make some pants and a top… Sounds hideous now, but KATE MADE ME DO IT!!! hehe
Kate Moss, fashicon for life.

Just thought I sould let you know,Gala, that there is a mini carousel in the mall across from my college and whenever I go by it I think of iCiNG. :)
That first photoshot is major love!
and I’ve heard of Tank Girl, and though I don’t know anything about her, I like the old look better. I see what the creator guy is saying,but the old look just is badass.
I’m not at all into the new look Tank Girl. Will she be working in an office with those suits, bringing the corporations down from the inside?
I found some original tank girl boots (they have a tank girl label inside – possibly movie merchadise?)in a second hand shop about 5 years ago – I love them so much!
I love the Richard Avedon photos, I’ve been trying to get hold of a copy of the women with the unbrella for a while. It was exhibited at the V&A in London in a exhibition about 40s couture which was amazing. They had loads of original 40s couture outfits on display.
Paris is the ultimate city YEAR ROUND...!
i hate it when characters get redesigned so that they’re so cute EVERYBODY has to love them.
oh well.
1920s references, eh? That means I’ll be totally stylish whenever I’m working! (It’s a 1920s flapper dress and feather. I’m a tour guide(actor) in an Al Capone historical tour)
