Carousel -- Week Ending 4th April 2008
[ 4 April 2008 ]
‘Allo, ‘allo! Is it just me or did this week absolutely fly past?! Here are a few little tidbits that caught my eye this week… hope you enjoy them!
A Victim Treats His Mugger Right.
Technosexual: One Man’s Tale Of Robot Love. If you’re interested in sex robots or robot girlfriends (& even if you’re not), this is worth a read. It’s quite amazing, actually.
12 Great Ways To Be Miserable. Ahh, reverse psychology. Sometimes, though, we just need to be told things in a different way.
Canaries in the cage: beauty editors, a piece from one of The Age blogs.
If you were ever a fan of MAD magazine, the New York Times got their hands on a whole lot of their old fold-ins & have made them available online! So cool! They’re all political, but that’s okay — they’re all pretty incredibe, too. MAD Fold-Ins.
The Fashion Spot chose me as their very first Look of the Week! Yay!
Polyvore’s official blog took notice of our collective ‘What I’d Wear At 40’ sets… woohoo!
Is Our Happiness Preordained? from TIME. Though really all you need to know is in the final paragraph:
“To feel happier, he recommends mimicking the personality traits of those who are: Be social, even if it’s only with a few people; set achievable goals and work toward them; and concentrate on putting setbacks and worries in perspective. Don’t worry, as the saying goes. Be happy.”
If you have a Last.fm account (or even if you don’t!), xgreyoutx just started a group for iCiNG fans! It’s called nonpareils & you should join!
Pictures & information (I assume) about the Marchesa Louisa Casati. I can’t read the text but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good stuff!
8 Things a Pickup Artist Can Teach You About Seducing Your Spouse from Dumb Little Man.
& that’s about it!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

Wow – I love the pickup tips!
I love the article about the mugger!!
the blog from The Age is an interesting read :P
xo.
That mugger story nearly made me cry!
Ahhh, Mad Magazine. My dad has loads of old copies that I indulge in from time to time, they are very good for a laugh. :-D
And 12 Great Ways to Be Miserable… I do enjoy a good wallow now and again haha
Enjoy the weekend, Gala! Thanks for another fantastic carousel.
awww, that mugger story!
i’d be too busy peeing myself.
I joined the LastFM group! =] Very cool.
Seems we nonpareils are taking over the internet, from iCiNG to LastFM to facebook!
The technosexual?? I cannot fathom that this is real. I had to check to make sure the date on this post was not April 1. Wowowow. I am truly intrigued.
That Mad Magazine link was wonderful!
She was one of my favorite Flickr users!
And…Agent Lee doesn’t have an account anymore?!??
Oh my god. That mugger story is great, and so is that technosexual article.
as for marchesa casati i see trah agent lee is no longer available on flicr-what a pitty) but i recomend marchesacasati.com as well as trying to find her on google, iCiNG(as far as i remember) and trying to purchase “the life and legend of marchesa casati”(just in amiddle of it-loveable- something about 14euro in internet)
as agent lee is not available on flicr anymore( ;( ) i don’t have my last favorites anymore.ehh. come back agent lee.
goodnight
wow — that robot story is very interesting. I wounder if that type of sexuality will come to be the in forefront of culture in the future…
congrats on the look of the week!
Hey there!
I really love your blog! It’s so pink (i.e. so me!).
I know you probably don’t get a chance to read ALL of your comments, but I thought I’d give it a go anyway…
Would you like to exchange links? I’m not even sure if you have a blogroll, but again, I thought I’d give it a try. :)
Looking forward to hearing back from you! :)

the technosexual story was vry interesting
i cant help but think that he is taking the easy way out from normal human interaction/relationship and that it would be a very lonely existence. imagine if you could erase your partners memory and start again every time something went wrong!
Ahh, not particularly related to any of the above, but after reading my Cupcake #63 i just Had to tell you how super excited i am that your here in Wellington. Ekk isnt it just fab! Make sure you go to Midnight Expresso if you havnt already. Its my fav :D
Ohh and the green parrot cafe’ is excellent too!(Im a waitress, so a tad biais Hehe)
Hope your enjoying your stay here!
Love Jo xoxox
I found a brilliant little site sure to give you a pick-me-up when you’re feeling a bit worthless or you want to surprise a friend. Here is one for you Gala:
Gala.Darling.youaremighty.com
However the address for the main site where you can make one for yourself or your darlings is here:
www.jobsite.co.uk/youaremighty…
I love Carousel, thank you so much for this!
ps Lauren that website is fab!!
Oooh, I’ve got dark undereye circles just like Ms Casati, now I just need a pet panther….
That mugger story is really inspiring!
And speaking of Polyvore’s blog, one of my sets was featured on the blog a few weeks ago! Here: blog.polyvore.com/2008/02/so It’s the second set. I didn’t even know until I logged in like 3 weeks afterward and someone had left me a comment telling me. :P
Like Samantha Sunshine, all I could think was “poisson d’avril!“ when I was reading the technosexual article. It kind of creeped me out, to be honest. There are definitely some interesting people in this world…
The mugger article was great! If only every story of a robbery could end so pleasantly, right?
I hearted the PickUp Artist article, I’m quite amazed that guys in this day and age would still find the advice NOT to follow someone around like a puppy dog enlightening,. I think honestly that is good advice for winning you friends as well, don’t crowd anyone. Good advice…. Seriously!
