Real Mind Control: The 21-Day No-Complaint Experiment. I read this on Tim Ferriss’ blog the other day, & when I told Simon about it we decided that it was definitely something worth doing. We just ordered some bracelets from Mike Dooley, & when they arrive, we’re going to start! I’m so looking forward to it!

YOU rule, Gala Darling!
x x x
Great nudity article, and the story about Halcyon’s dad – gorgeous!! (sniff)
ahh, i love agyness deyn. happy friday!
xx
Omg!!! The you tube clips are fab but gossip girl is better!!!
You are utterly fantastic week in and week out, Miss Darling!
I was enjoying some soup when I clicked on the zombie-guy article and for some reason (although I’m not normally squeamish) I got the heebie-jeebies and had to stop eating my soup for awhile!
The Ralph Lauren videos are fantastical.
Your carousel is awesome as always and I’ll have to take my time going through everything extra careful-like ;D!
Nudity – hilarious.
The low-info diet was more for busy, important ppl than me (I rarely get email, so I almost never check it), but! The part on reading faster was so cool! I tried it out, and it was so effective that I jumped up a bit and actually said “wow!” aloud. Y’know, there are courses that charge people $250 just to learn that! :P
I hate that The Fashion Spot is invite only: HELP!
I TOTALLY agree with you Jessica. Fashion Spot bugs me.
Jamie Lee rocks!
Luv
Poochie
Oh that writing from Halcyon was just perfect, I had a friend who had the same experience, he said “i’ve travelled the whole world looking for wisdom when I should have just spoken to my dad” I love that.
I totally agree with your love for Jamie Lee Curtis, she is amazing and a brilliant role model. Age normally people – you are already beautiful!!
woah !
that zombie tattoo guy lives in my city !
maybe i will meet him in a bus someday :P
Doing my bit for the Earth this week, Earth Hour is on tomorrow!!!
www.earthhour.org
Lets see how I go without iCiNG for an hour! Hahaha.
thanks for that link on raw foods & eye color, it answers my question about why my eyes have been so brilliantly green lately. so cool! I’m not even 100% raw.
Thanks for all the raw information, it’s really made a big difference for me over this past semester of college. I even got some seaweed salad from the school cafeteria yesterday.
That and i love bum sex! Hahaha Someone had to be the first to say it.
Thanks for the heads up on the fashionspot forum. I looked through all 54(!) pages and I now have about 600 magnificent photos/images; etc.
I also enjoyed the ‘Kris Atomic A-Z’. I have no idea how you find this stuff but it’s all wondrous.
:D
ooh love the fashion spot link, i wish i knew about that thread!
and about youtube, www.youtube.com/user/fordmodel… is definitely worth checking out. so many great tips!
oh my gosh :x
i cannot go raw now! i love my pretty blue eyes way too much for them to change!!!
kate — They will probably just become a more vibrant, sparkling blue! Never fear! xx
GALA! The carousel this week is brilliant :-D
I am so glad you have put an article about Agyness Deyn up, she is my current fashion and style idol, and normally I do not idolize models, but she is something different entirely. I feel like I can entirely relate to her style, androgyny is definitely my thing. On that note, I also loved the article on androgyny. I think you can be girly, sexy, and feminine, but androgynous at the same time. Finally overt sexuality and walking around practically nude is no longer the in thing, and just being comfortable with your own style is making a come back!
So good job :)
