Carousel -- Week Ending 2nd May 2008

[ 1 May 2008 ]

Carousel in Bryant Park
Photos by anniebee.

Aw. It’s the littlest Carousel ever! Like those teeny tiny ones for children at airports! This one’s better though — your bum will fit, & no coins required!

<3 On The Job: Cary Tennis, Salon.com’s long-running advice columnist, hit bottom so you don’t have to. (I love Cary & I found this article really interesting!)

<3 The Pleasure Report — a podcast about sexuality in medicine, science & psychology. It’s by Dr Paul Joannides, the faaaabulous author who co-authored The Guide To Getting It On!, my favourite ever sex book. He’s great, & I love his sense of humour. Makes me so happy!

<3 Photos by Aorta. I like.

<3 10 Commandments for Dropping 10 Pounds & 10 Years from Dumb Little Man.

<3 Aesop’s Top 7 Tips for Living a Happier Life!

Have you found any cool new blogs (or even started one yourself) that you think is worth passing on to your beloved nonpareils?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Eep! I love that carousel rabbit!

    Just last week a found a link on your site to Some Girls Wander, a fashion blog from an amazingly adorable artist, and the top-selling Etsy member! Now I’m completely addicted to her personal art/life blog! So thanks, Gala!

  2. Love the 10 commandments. As for great blogs check out persephassa.com/ for some amazing photos, novellas and vlog. I would of course be remiss if I didn’t ask you all to come on over and visit me at www.superkawaiimama.blogspot.c…

  3. I’ve got a couple of blogs, but don’t update them nearly as often as I’d like to! I think I spend too much time working.

    Music blog, with my friend Melissa, of Cherry Bomb Comics(http://www.cherrybombcomics.co.nz): Slow Songs For Fast Hearts (http://www.fasthearts.com).
    Vegan food blog: I Heart Food (http://www.iheartfood.net).

    I don’t think I can wait any longer for your news today, I keep refreshing the page!

  4. The 10 Commandments are awesome. And I ditto Alice – Some Girls Wander is a fantastic blog.

    But where is the announcement??!! Tell us the secret, Gala! Please!!!!

    <3 Virginia · May 1, 07:04 PM · #
  5. I don’t think my off-beat blog is of interest to fashion people (though it seems a few gala fans have found me…something about beautiful souls always seems to attract them to unusual quirky things)

    BUT I thought I’d promote platinumgrit.com (an australian on-line comic that makes me laugh…but does need to be read from the start so you understand what the story with the rocks is about) not for any reason, it’s not mine or any one I know – but it is funny.

    I look forward to reading what other people suggest.

    <3 Meg · May 1, 07:12 PM · #
  6. Fantastic suggestions as always, a lovely mix of health, love and life :)

    I run a style blog where I feature a lot of New Zealand and Aussie designers and updates :D

    <3 Rachel · May 1, 07:15 PM · #
  7. I read a TON of style blogs daily. Yours of course, but also Fashion Toast (http://www.fashiontoast.com/), Flying Saucer (http://flyingsaucer.typepad.com/), and Smaggle Style (http://www.smagglestyle.com/). I also love Feministing (http://feministing.com/) for my daily dose of feminist news around the world, and Nerve (http://www.nerve.com/index.asp) for the short stories and essays.

    I always consider starting my own fashion blog, but I think I’d be terrible about updating.

  8. I’ve been into blogs lately, and I’ve found all sorts of them—I found a person who spends her time eating organic Japanese food!

    vegetablejapan.blogspot.com/

    Also I was introduced (re-introduced?)into the beauty of foodart! Here’s a blog my friend found:

    becomingafoodie.blogspot.com/

    I’ve only recently started blogging, but I’ve got some stuff regarding art & just my daily life. It’s a little arbitrary and a little infuriating, I think, but it’d be lovely to hear some feedback.

    <3 Nana · May 1, 08:28 PM · #
  9. Hey Katie, I really love your food blog! It’s awesome.

    <3 amber catch · May 1, 08:30 PM · #
  10. Oops! I forgot to link my blog, but it’s in my name. ;]

    <3 Nana · May 1, 08:31 PM · #
  11. I read a bunch of different kinds of blogs.
    One of my favorite non-fashion blogs is Attack of the Redneck Mommy, it’s a wonderful blog about a Mother dealing with her children and husband (and the loss of her youngest child). Her writing style makes me envious: www.theredneckmommy.com/
    One of my Favorite fashion blogs is Le Blog de Betty (in french and english!), her photos are delicious and she has really great, unique style. www.leblogdebetty.com/
    I also have my own blog, but the two above are much, much better!

    <3 Sarah · May 1, 08:33 PM · #
  12. It appears I am not the only one who has no faith in their own blog. I wonder why this is.

    <3 Amelia J. · May 1, 08:42 PM · #
  13. try daddylikey.blogspot.com

    winona makes me happy. :D

    <3 skyye. · May 1, 08:49 PM · #
  14. I just started a blog, but I’m not sure if it’s icing material JUST yet, but you’ll be hearing from me in the future…. ahah, so cocky!

  19. Why yes of course! There’s always my awesomely awesome relatively new blog. It’s a personal style blog. silkandleather.blogspot.com Oh I have a question, did your camera come with a remote or did you buy it seperately?

    And you’ll see I linked to your blog. :)

    <3 aziza x · May 1, 10:02 PM · #
  20. i am always around to rep my blog:
    hanatomic.blogspot.com/

    & also! what great photos!

    <3 hannah · May 1, 10:08 PM · #
  21. Also, I think people need to be gentle on themselves about their blogs because everyone has something unique and different to say(so each blog has it’s own merit) and because it can take time to develop readership and that kind of thing.

    I mean I don’t have a whole ton of readers myself but those that I do have know that I enjoy what I’m doing and I genuinely care about what they think. The rest, I think, is time. And I think you, Gala, know that, and that’s one of the secrets to your success.

    <3 aziza x · May 1, 10:08 PM · #
  22. Love the Aesop’s tips for living a happier life =)

    silkandchili.blogspot.com

    <3 kate · May 2, 02:23 AM · #
  26. OooOOO! Aorta’s photos are awesome. Is she like a sex slave in distress? Or is that just my dirty mind showing..

    Poochie! Your blog dedicated to shoes is like a dream come true! I love it!

    Here is my little blog, she’s only new to the blogosphere, so please be kind to her :P

  27. I LOVE YOUR BLOG GALA! I have never commented before, but it’s terribly exciting! :) I have a new blog it’s
    popoutfashion.blogspot.com

    keep up the amazing work, Gala! I read it every day! (Sometimes even re-read it!) NZ misses you! x

    <3 Jo · May 2, 05:36 AM · #
  28. Well I do have a little blog (in my name). It’s in French, but there are pictures and drawings…

    Speaking of pictures and drawings, you do know www.garancedore.fr and www.thecherryblossomgirl.com right? If not, go look at them! Now!

    <3 Theremina · May 2, 06:01 AM · #
  29. That Aesop website is a great find! I really enjoyed reading it.

    Recently I have been reading slavetotarget.blogspot.com because it brings my favorite store closer to the Targetless city that I live in.

    My blog is only two months old, (a baby!) but it is coming along nicely, lifeasapeach.blog.com

    <3 Elisha Lynn · May 2, 09:04 AM · #
  30. I feel like I’ve been blogging for ages…
    ...and I’ve got a handful of them…

    most of what I read are just my friends… (and here)...
    Mainly, I go for comics now (xkcd.com rocks my world, as does bunny comics and dinosaur comics)...

    .. so now I have a new(ish) blog-project thing that I try to update on a regular basis… but well, between work and my laziness to actually scan anything… yeah…

    anyway.. http://lanek.wordpress.com

    <3 Rini · May 2, 11:41 AM · #
  31. Oh, Gala! I’m terribly shy when it comes to commenting, but when given the opportunity to promote my blog …

    brightyoungthing.net – My nerdly noodlings & silly stories, basically. It’s my baby. My strange little code baby.

    I’m so grateful for all the fresh reading material these comments have given me!

  33. I have a fashion blog for girls with champagne tastes on beer budgets! It’s called WAITIN ROUND 2 BE A MILLIONAIRE: wr2bam.blogspot.com

    <3 Sara Millionaire · May 2, 03:20 PM · #
  34. Haha, I’ve been blogging for years now, but it’s more about the trivial things that happen in my day-to-day life and what I become obsessed with. Not very helpful to other nonpareils. :> But recently I’ve been getting following justbento.com/, which is a great site full of lots of info about bento boxes! It’s got great time-saving tips and healthy recipes for people who are just starting out, and most of the food on it is vegeterian/vegan. :D I also like to visit community.livejournal.com/blai…! It’s great if I want to get updates on my favorite Gossip Girl couple, and most of the time it’s got news about the show in general as well.

    <3 Trisha · May 2, 10:19 PM · #
  35. Thanks for your kind comment about my podcasts. It’s a good reminder to get more of them done. Unfortunately, each ten-minute podcast takes me ten to twenty hours of prep time, and I’ve been so overwhelmed lately I’ve not had the extra time. Or maybe it’s just that the next podcast is on delayed ejaculation, and I’ve taken it too much to heart…

    Yours truly,

    Paul Joannides

    <3 Paul Joannides · May 2, 10:42 PM · #
  36. Those photos by Aorta are very ‘Death-and-the-Maiden’. In my eyes, anyhow.
