Carousel -- Week Ending 29th August 2008
[ 29 August 2008 ]
Happy Friday!
Instructables is a weird site. I kind of like it though. Check out their guides on how to make out, how to talk to an ex & how to sleep with a friend!
Secrets Of A Hipster Hooker from Radar Online. An amazing article!
“I meet my madam for the first time at a vegan restaurant in New York’s East Village…”
From the best of Craigslist: You wouldn’t get this from any other guy ;D
For those of you who like to snuggle up with high fashion, I believe the Karl Lagerfeld teddy-bear is for you!
One of the weirdest/coolest art installations I’ve ever seen, care of Lou Lou: deer-stuffed cupcakes!
More KL mania — Karl Lagerfeld: Pose maketh the man from the Times Online.
The Poster List. I just discovered this & it looks like the ideal site to hit if you want to decorate your digs on the cheap.
I am mad on Etsy at the moment. Here is my list of favourite items — lots of treasures! Do you have a favourites page on Etsy too? Link us!
People in New York like to talk about Michael Jackson... & picking up! (Giggles a plenty, I tell you!)
& finally, I love Miles Aldridge!
Have a magnificent day & an awe-inspiring weekend!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Oh, Gala… You’re just like a pill ;D
I can’t live without iCiNG! It’s like a fashion bible.
Etsy! Truly, that is one awesome website. I’ve been meaning to set up an account there to sell all of the lovely stuff I make. I just haven’t gotten around to it…

chloeohchloe! Eeek I love her photos she’s adorrrrrrable.
I personally endorse Amelia‘s shop (http://doublespeak.etsy.com)! I can’t wait to wear your slip, lovely girl — I just need the weather to warm up! I think it will be my everyday lounging wear when I get to NYC!
haha it’s still thursday here
I think I’m going to have to rip off the wallpaper in my apartment and redecorate with those beautiful posters :)
And the Hipster Hooker article was fantastic.
xo
Those are some cool Etsy picks. I recently joined up too, just a couple days ago. :]
OMG I must have that bear. Too bad I don’t have $1,500 T_T.
Oooh! That article on high-class call girls left me on the edge of my seat. There’s something about the attitude, power and life of a call girl that’s so seductive! ;)
Great etsy purchase? www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...
Loooove!
Etsy – yayyyyy!! Hours of fun.
belladonnabeads.etsy.com (my own shop)
heyharriet.etsy.com (a local brisbane girl who does this amazing art)
Amelia – I just checked out your shop. It is awesome, I hearted you xo
Just a side note; have you read a blog responce to that Radar article? jennydemilo.blogspot.com/
It’s pretty interesting, and made me rethink that whole “empowerment” aspect.
Excellent links, Gala! I haven’t been on etsy for awhile, time to dig up some new treats!
I just saw this, and it boggled my mind. It’d be awesome if we could have a discussion about it here on iCiNG:
tinyurl.com/65bgua

Oh, oh, Etsy! I started my very own little shop a few months ago!:

Here’s my slightly massive Etsy favourites list1
www.etsy.com/favorite_listings…
Ahhh, I got this link in my Wired feed: blog.wired.com/underwire/2008/...
Twitter is apparently cracking down on spam accounts, and are including false personas in their crackdown! Personally, users who update with daily quotes by deceased public figures are doing the world a lovely favor!
Omg Gala! I can’t believe you would rick roll your readers. True it’s not to a video but still. Ahh!.
www.urbandictionary.com/define…
I love the Verse-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-Solo-Chorus poster! :D
My etsy faves. A lot of them have sold, but I keep them because I like the sellers!

OMG

It’s Michael Jackson’s birthday today.. he he

It’s not a funny or interesting story how I got to know this blog but how IT makes me feel and what IT makes me do could be. Anyway, the ‘story’ goes like this. I was really bored, with my computer in front of me and chatting with one of my best friends Lu (and a huge gala’s fan) and she told me about this website. Since then I’m mad about it and it’s one of my Bibles with Sex & The City and my only edition of Cosmopolitan (I promise I’ll buy it next month !) Honestly, I never thought that inspiring, girly stuff would make me feel so…unique! The majority of websites that I find here are turning me into a high self-esteem,positive and beautiful person (a month ago I’m not quite sure if I could say this so confidence). So I think that I have plenty of reasons to tell you THANK YOU.
I’m 14 years old, and I know that I have a life ahead of me, dreams to persue, ups and downs, tears to cry and smiles to give but while I’m walking this one way road (never look back, don’t have regrets, don’t resent anyone !), while I’m struggling with adolescence, while I’m getting over my first break-up and my first love who I’m still in love with, isn’t it amusing?, while I’m doubting if I could be able to achieve my goals, while I’m singing to the top of my lungs knowing that music IS,in fact, my life… to be continued below =)
...while I’m smiling ‘cause I JUST saw my brother laughing and smiling while sleeping (so I suppose he’s having a nice dream) and while I’m in a great mood though I have a super-cold and tonight I have a party, this blog, this websites and what myself is turning into are making me grow up feeling invincible !
So THANK YOU a billion times, I’ll try to make other persons feel the same here in Argentina.
PD: As you could notice I love to write (and talk as well) so I have 3 last things to say. The first one: sorry for the long comment, I just have so much to tell and when I’m in the mood I’m unstoppable. The second one: so so sorry for my English, I love the language, try to do my best but nobody’s perfect(= and the third one (yes, the last one so now you can smile because you probably were thinking ‘when will this finish for God’s sake?!’ :D): I leave a few ‘things’ I like to write, hope you like it !
♥Support is one of the things that you don’t see until you rise from relay on it.
♥Inspiration comes in a wierd way, in wierd places, to wierd minds.
♥The beauty of doubt is that leaves us a lot of options.
♥The moment you get surprised by your own epiphanies is the moment when you have to listen to them the most.
♥Our past, present and future remains in us like watercolors. We just have to know how to use them to paint our portrait.
♥Don’t be afraid of what you fear today. It is nothing compare of what you will discover tomorrow.
♥Wise men are not the greatest thinkers but they are the ones brave enough to say what they think. Wisdom is based on bravery. Bravery is based on becoming a better person. Be brave, be wise.
Music and love from Argentina,
María Ayelén.

LOVEEEEEEEEE!
Oh yes! Karl & his teddy-bear… they look like twins;)
www.pakamera.pl/ —-> everything is hand-made! I love that net-shop!
CRAIGSLIST!!! I have never seen or heard of it before, and have just spent a good half hour laughing at some of the posts – hilarious!! Thanks again Gala for introducing me to something funny I didn’t know existed! Xxxxxx
I wish we could have the deer cakes! I was immediately seeing them dotted around my house and imagining other animals stuffed into cakes…hummmm
Gala, if you’re thinking about getting any tutus from MTCoffinz (there are a couple of them in your favorites), I say go for it. I bought one from her a few weeks ago, & it is positively GLORIOUS & fits me perfectly (I gave her my waist measurement). Definitely one of my favorite things in my entire wardrobe.

In regards to that “Secrets of a Hipster Hooker” article, a lot of people are calling bull…
Eg: http://jennydemilo.blogspot.com/
Thanks for sharing though, was an interesting read :)
Aww, Etsy is too cute.
I used to have 5 pages of favourites at anyone time, haa.
They are my daily infusion of cute, along with your website, Gala!
^^
ahaha that craigslist post is amazing! also now i’m going to waste tons of time on instructables.
re: the hipster hooker article…i’m getting somewhat tired of sex work being glorified as a glamorous, ‘empowering’ profession, but i’ll check my ranting at the door especially because i’m not really sure how to get started.
I’m with Diana here, about the Hipster Hooker article. Don’t get me wrong, it was a WONDERFUL read, but I sort of wished the author would explore the subject a little deeper, or at least elaborate on her own reasons for not doing it. “I just couldn’t” is a pretty lame way to finish an article of such humongous potential. ;)
Nonetheless, thank you for sharing it.
i never let myself get into etsy, as tempting as it is, because i’d go broke in a few hours!
& overheard in new york is probably one of my favorite things, ever. :D
gala since the first time I discovered your website-and after browsing to the very first post!!- I have been hooked your blog and what it is you do. I have always loved blogging, and have actually attempted it, just for the fun of it! it’s never been something I want to make money with, just something I want to reach people with-which is exactly what you do!
you are my inspiration. I hope to one day have a blog as well loved as yours. Reading our blog and coming back ever so often, makes me really really believe that I can make it happen if i believe in myself and try hard enough!
I also now have a new found interest in trying to accept myself, something i have never been able to do. but this has shown me that there are ways to work through that and it can be done.
thank you gala !! you’re a true inspiration. I’m glad you’re you =]
Oh, those posters are FANTASTIC. I just moved in for my first year of college and it’s impossible to find something cool to cover my icky while walls, so this is perfect! Less than three less than three less than three (since the real less-than-three symbols don’t show up and I don’t know how else to make a heart)!
Gala I’ve been meaning to enquire for weeks, your licorice strap shoes – Where are they from? They’re AMAZING. Say you bought them in Melbourne before you went to NYC and I’ll love you forever!!

I was reading Harper’s Bazaar the other day and turned to the page with Karl Lagerfield and his quote, “Believe it or not, I love rap.” That man is such an enigma to me.
here are my faves: www.etsy.com/favorite_listings…
Oohhhh. My Etsy favorites list is never shorter than 8 pages long … I’m addicted!
Here are my etsy favorites…
