Things to see & do! Kicking your weekend off right. Right?!

<3 Horoscopes for the month of December! AstroTwins, AstrologyZone & Tarotscopes by HiC!

<3 On that subject, I know I have introduced a whole lot of you to the amazing SoulGarden horoscopes on Youtube. Well, now they need your help, so help ‘em out if you can!

<3 Pretty overdose!

<3 Getting your way with her vs. enticing her desire:

“What if you spent your time, not how can I get what I want from a woman, but rather, how can I serve this woman. Not as her servant, but as an empowered man. A man who doesn’t need anything from her, because he is whole and complete in and of himself.”

<3 Coilhouse delivers. We Need Barbie Pure (for the Virgin Sacrifice), Hilarious Posts from Ayn Rand Dating Site (comments are so good too: “A professor I once worked for had a great line on Ayn Rand: “If a guy had written that screed, everyone would be saying ‘Why is he banging his dick on the table?’””) & Pink Things. Also, subway swing, anyone? Wow! Grotesque, fascinating, & pleasing to the eye — all the things we’ve come to expect from our favourite purveyors of odds & ends!

<3 From Overheard in New York, Curiosity Kills Desire in the Insecure. (This made me laugh out loud.)

<3 I think Fontaine Anderson is the business.

<3 There’s a new issue of prim. Magazine out now!

<3 10 Things about Miss Nubby Twiglet, my #1 wife! Haha. The comments are cute & interesting too.

<3 How did I not know that Fawn Gehweiler had a blog?! It’s infrequently updated, but on Wednesday night I found this post of hers, Cute Clutter vs. Creative Chaos with photos of amazing artistic spaces. It’s worth a look, so fascinating!

<3 Soundtrack for November from ljmixtape: join & devour!

<3 Elyse Sewell is hilarious & never fails to make me smile.

<3 Halcyon writes about being featured on HotChicksWithDouchebags.com & practising “troll aikido”!

<3 Rhymesayers is having a sale! They’ve dropped the price on some of their best albums & cutest shirts to just $10! If you’re just aching for somewhere to drop your bling — & don’t want to wait for the sweet prize-pack on the 15th! — click the link. I recommend all the albums listed, by the way — Jake One, P.O.S., Brother Ali, Atmosphere & Dynospectrum are all worth way more than ten bucks!

<3 Mirror-themed photos but beware (BEWARE!) of the boobs!

<3 Abjekt Is Cool. Not just a blog title, a bonified truth. I have no idea who this guy is, but his Tumblr makes me laugh, he posts the weirdest range of stuff. I mean, wow. Though you can’t contact anyone through Tumblr, it drives me nuts! Abjekt, if you monitor your stats, consider this a shout-out!

<3 The Daily Puppy. Aaahhhhhhhhhhh! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!

<3 From JAK & JIL: Rise of the machines: how the women behind the fashion game became its key players. Also, this is what those Rick Owens boots from my wishlist look like on. Golly.

<3 Finally… fall in love.

But remember to come back later on today, as well as Saturday & Sunday… ‘cause we’re giving away custom nameplate necklaces, goodies from ModCloth & SPARKLY MAGICAL KNICKERS!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  2. I can’t believe I never read prim. until today, I didn’t realise what a treat I was missing!

    Great carousel Gala, I’m going to save most of the links for work tomorrow – Friday would go so slowly without the blogosphere!

    <3 Vixel · Dec 5, 07:39 AM · #

  3. How on EARTH did I miss out on the Daily Puppy all this time? I knew there was a gaping hole in my daily readings …

    <3 Sal · Dec 5, 07:45 AM · #

  4. It’s not even Friday here yet… many hours to go…

    <3 eternalvoyageur · Dec 5, 07:56 AM · #

  5. Thanks for the mention! And, aren’t the insane shoe shots on JAK + JIL the best?!!

    <3 Nubby · Dec 5, 08:02 AM · #

  6. wow, this has nothing to do with the post per se… but even at that obscure angle, i knew that photo was taken in a back alley in san francisco.

    just thought i’d share that with you.
    ;)

    <3 jennine · Dec 5, 08:24 AM · #

  12. Hey my NZ friend! This post has got me cracking up and smiling from ear to ear.

    1. The fact you used the phrase “is the business”. That’s one of my favorite phrases ever!

    2. The RSE sale mention!

    3. Abjekt Is Cool shout out. He’s a friend of mine from London who is actually just landed in Minneapolis today! I’m wicked excited to see him. It’s been over a year since he was last here.

    That and you’re generally all around amazing ;)

    <3 Jake Money · Dec 5, 09:38 AM · #

    <3 Sarah · Dec 5, 09:44 AM · #

  14. I love that you gave a shout-out to Elyse! I was thinking the other day about how much I love reading both of you and how much fun any kind of Elyse/Gala adventure would be — imagine the two of you shopping in Hong Kong!

    <3 spygrl1 · Dec 5, 09:46 AM · #

  15. OMG can you believe you are getting so many entries for the giveaway!?

    And thank you so much for the puppies! Lolcats gets old when you’ve seen every picture several times over!

    <3 Jasmine · Dec 5, 10:06 AM · #

  16. there is a reeeeally gorgeous photo of idina menzel (i think backstage at rent) applying her makeup in front of a mirror… but i can’t find it, arrgh!

    <3 Erika · Dec 5, 11:08 AM · #

  17. #8 on Nubby’s list is the same for me too! I thought everybody did that, haha.

    The AstroTwins horoscope for Taurus is perfectly accurate and everything I needed to hear right now. I love it when you read horoscopes that just click, it’s like the universe giving you a big kick up the bum! Thanks for that! :)

  20. A Randian dating site? What?! I’m shocked and appalled yet finding it hysterically hilarious at the same time. How could an objectivist truly love another… questions, questions.

    <3 nana · Dec 5, 10:13 PM · #

  21. I loooove Selene Gibbous!

    <3 Zoe · Dec 6, 02:23 AM · #

  22. Hey!

    So, I checked my blog’s stats today and they were through the roof. Weird, I thought, and then saw a heap came from you. So, a HUGE thank you for the link. I’m glad you dig Daily Puppy too, I post a heap of shit from there, haha.

    So here I am, a Londoner, sitting in my friend’s front room in Minneapolis, being linked to by someone in New Zealand. I’m beaming,you’re dope, thank you!

    <3 Abjekt · Dec 6, 05:42 AM · #

  23. gala, i’ve been reading icing for a while now, and i absolutely adore all of your articles. great job and thank you. :D

    <3 beatrice · Dec 7, 02:31 PM · #

  24. Goth Barbie, yes! That look has totally inspired me for next year’s ballet-solo costume – hee!

    <3 Nadine · Dec 7, 06:18 PM · #
