Carousel -- Week Ending 3rd April 2009
[ 3 April 2009 ]
We Are The Slaves Of The Objects Around Us from Vogue Italia. I love this shoot!
Put Things Off wrote about The End of Free Content a few days ago. It’s a pretty interesting read for any blogger.
Zoetica was one of my favourite things about Los Angeles… & Austin! She also happens to be a very stylish broad. Check out her 4-point fashion assault on everyone’s favourite gothic luxe blog, Haute Macabre.
Violet Blue interviews a Zen Master about sex & hardcore zen.
Floral & crimped hair yumminess!
Me Magazine is based around one intriguing person every month, who then interviews the people closest to them…
Astro-madness courtesy of Mystic Medusa. Namely, Her Saggo Fiance Got His Stalker Pregnant. Wow. It’s interesting but what is really interesting are the comments. Lots of extremely wise insight about love & relationships.
Erykah Badu is on Twitter & she’s really fun to follow. A couple of days ago she was asking her followers what the first sentence would be in a love letter to themselves, then retweeted some of her favourite responses. It was really beautiful, actually. So follow her, because otherwise you’re missing out!
Halcyon was on STUDS. Aaaaaaaamazing.
The Frisky says Don’t Have First-Date Sex. Thoughts?
Spanking Brings Couples Together from New Scientist.
Said In Bed: As Awkward As The Act is so, so, so, so good.
Pharrell versus McDonalds
A hipster investigation.
P.S. If you’re in New York & like cupcakes, you should come to CupcakeCamp NYC next Friday!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

That first link to the photoshoot is so clever!
the vogue italy shoot is amazing, and the hipster video is fun :) thank!
Pharrell at McD’s was priceless!
Sex on the first date, for me, is a no-no. I agree with the article. Let the sexual tension draw out & then explode!
You have the best links, Gala. I always look forward to this post!
You always post such interesting links, thanks! I requested to follow Erykah Badu on twitter… I’m really interested now to see what she tweets about =)
hey babe! no things I love thursday?!
thing I love: gala
Oh hipsters…
did you encounter any of them on your travels (namely in LA) Gala? The LA hipster is an entirely different breed!
Love the ending to the hipster video- and yes, hipster boys are my vice…
to me the date begins when the sex ends, what is the purpose of dating someone who is sex-disabled?
But…then again, we don`t have dates here…thank goodness!
Dear Gala,
Speaking of cupcakes, I haven’t had any in my inbox in quite some time. It’s sad. Is cupcake officially over?
Love!
Kylie
xoxoxxxo
ugh… who would get a tattoo of a diamond? I hope it’s not real and just drawn on… >.<
Awesome links G
That first link to the photoshoot reminded me of this exhibit in Beijing that I saw last winter. I found it for you right here:

A little about it: Quentin will present 20 photos in an editorial, titled “The Stranger In The Glass Box” just realized for the exhibit: Dior & Contemporary Chinese Artists at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing – French elegance of 70s and 80s meets Chinese purism – A pure BEAUTY !
This exhibition creates a dialogue between two continents and two different means of expression, contemporary art and fashion.
OMEGLE.COM you will love it! connect with people online! i’ve been using it all day. Gala, you must try it!
The Me magazine is such a great idea!
pharrell at mcdonalds cracks me up. i cant believe the staff were like wtf??
I think first-date sex is OK if the two people are OK with it. If you wanna do it, why not? You own your body and have the right to do whatever you want with it and no one should tell you what to do.
I feel like this is really bad advice because we shouldn’t be telling people what to do with thier bodies. It is ultimately our choice to decide what is proper or not.
Ill be looking for you at CupCakeCamp! most likely anyway.
Pharrel is so funny and lame at the same time.
Ps. where is your lovely TILT??
hmmm… when I think of a hipster, I think of someone disingenuous…who doesn’t really have any sort of manifesto. the only things they like are things that other people don’t like or don’t know about yet, and once their favorite band, fad, or whatever goes ‘mainstream’, they want nothing to do with it.
to me, it comes off as a bit shallow compared to say, the punks or the beats. like they only like what they like because no one else knows about it, and they only want to wear/do things if it’s exclusive, or else it has to be ‘ironic’. but that’s just my impression. what do I know?
I think that what bothers me about the word ‘hipster’ being thrown around is that it makes me feel self-conscious about liking things unironically! I mean, I like Ray-bans, but now I’m afraid that if I wear one, I’ll look like a pretentious hipster. But I just like Ray-bans!
Love the photoshoot!!!!
yo hook me up with a fake ID so I can get into that cupcake party :(
LIZZIE my homegirl I can relate and agree completely!
I’m just working on loving everyone around me and trying my hardest to just take people in and understand them, minus any preconceived notions.
I have no problem with first-date sex. But, I can also see the article’s point that waiting can actually make both the “pre-show” (heh) & the actual event hotter… there’s definitely something to be said for the delights of anticipation.
I think first-date sex isn’t just about doing whatever you want with your body. If that was all it was, then just go home and masturbate. With a date then you have to consider what impression the other person will get as well.
I personally loved the first link, of the Vogue Italia shoot. I immediately grasped an “outside, looking in” feeling.
....Would you be able to promote a shameless plug to my entry in one of your upcoming Carousel editions? I did a feature on proper skincare (It’s a small part of a healthier living blog that I operate and maintain) and I just thought that topic may be beneficial for many of your readers too! Let me know! Thanks :)
