Carousel -- Week Ending 5th October 2007
[ 5 October 2007 ]
I can’t belieeeeeve it’s October! You know, that means Hallowe’en is just around the corner (fabulous!), followed by Christmas (scream!). Seriously, I am starting to do that thing you do when you get old, which is where you constantly exclaim, “WHERE did the YEAR go?!” & then roll your eyes around in your skull for emphasis. Okay, anyway… links! & lots of them!
The Princess Bride: Where Are They Now? Don’t tell me you didn’t like this movie, or even worse, have never seen it!
Articles on Rebecca Weinberg, who was Patricia Field’s (SATC stylist) professional & romantic partner. They were together for 11 years, & met when Rebecca was 19 & Patricia was 47! Wow! I didn’t know they were involved! Interview with JW magazine & an interview with Pink magazine.
This advertisement for Vivienne Westwood is beautiful but racy! (So don’t watch it at work.)
The Divine Mrs. V is a piece on Diana Vreeland (my hero!) in New York Magazine.
““For years I am and always have been looking out for girls to idealize because they are things to look up to, because they are perfect,” she wrote in her diary. But since she had never discovered “that girl or that woman,” she announced, “I shall be that girl.”“
Ellen Von Unwerth for Vogue Italia… & the model has braces! Toooooo cute!
Patrick Demarchelier for French Vogue, October 2007. Natasha Poly in amazing lace-fronted Givenchy boots, & a cow with the most beautiful eyes you’ve ever seen. Coo!
Steve Pavlina interviews John Assaraf, a multi-millionaire, public speaker & pretty cool guy, from the sound of things. He has some wonderful & insightful things to say on finding a personal purpose, what his values are, what he thinks prevents people from achieveing the things they are capable of, & much more.
Elyse Sewell is my favourite ever contestant on America’s Next Top Model (followed by Jade, hee!). Here is a video of her answering questions at a party held in her honour in Hong Kong, & it is really super-adorable. Watch it nowwww!
My first crush, cutest video everrrrr! Thank you Rebecca!
Strawberry blossom cupcake recipe. That sounds GOOD.
Ms. Nubby sent me this link: The Art of Writing: 10 Tips from the Masters. She also wrote this brilliant piece, The 5 Secrets To Success, which I adore!
For those of you who like astrology (I can’t help myself), Susan Miller’s AstrologyZone horoscopes for October are up now!
What feels like hundreds of photos by Tim Walker. They are truly beautiful, however.
Things To Consider Before Getting Married from Dumb Little Man. (I hate typing that, it seems so mean, & he obviously isn’t dumb at all! Awww!) Very insightful & thought-provoking. He also recently published How To Work 9 to 5 & Enjoy It!
Jazzi is an intern for Teen Vogue (yes, along with Lauren Conrad!) & her blog is really internesting (hee hee). The photos on this post really speak to me, & fit wonderfully with my new style aesthetic. Yum! Thanks Jazzi!
How to Give Kind Criticism & Avoid Being Critical from Zen Habits. Giving constructive criticism is a very foreign concept to a lot of people, so it’s worth a read!
Ms. Tricia Royal linked to this piece in the Telegraph — ‘People must stop buying and buying‘, an interview with Vivienne Westwood about fast fashion.
Want to do a good thing? Yaatzee is a group of high school girls who’ve formed a company. They sell t-shirts which come with washable markers so you can write your own message — Yaatzee’s mission is to encourage people to be themselves & to express who they are! (I can’t say no to that…) Have a look!
Patricia Field’s apartment (& kitchen)!
Tokyo Hardcore collection by Tarina Tarantino, featuring Davey Havok & Jeffree Star.
I LOVE KARL LAGERFELD, he is a sexy genius.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

oh my god, first of all, patricia field is one fierce woman and she could probably eat all of us alive. when i met her she literally made me feel really scared!!! :(
and karl lagerfeld.. is one bloody genius. hearing him talk about the construction of his clothes was amazing. i tried on some of those couture gowns and those sexy sexy boots when i was in japan. LOVED them. then to hear him explain why things were done a certain way, is fantastic!! and how sexy was it when he switched between languages?
gosh i really must learn french now!
Oh my!! You certainly weren’t kidding about lots of links!!! yay—I had loads of funning looking through all of them; you find some of the coolest things. I especially liked that Princess Bride like. I completely adore/love/idolize that movie. Must.go.watch.tonight!! :D
Have a lovely Friday, Gala!! :)
If you love astrology, dear, you should check out Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology at freewillastrology.com. It updates on Wednesdays.
I fell in love with him when he wrote a horoscope for my sign that said something like, “Imagine you’re at a horror movie. The Blob has finally been defeated, and you’re rising to make your way up aisles sticky with spilled soda and popcorn. Suddenly, The Blob itself leaps from the screen, calling ‘Wait for me! I want to be your friend!’ Your week will be like that.”
The best thing about that Princess Bride link is that, because I haven’t seen it in YEARS and everyone’s wearing so much makeup and fake hair, I had no idea that some of those people were in that. Especially Christopher Guest. Who knew?!
Holy cow @ the Tim Walker post in foto_decadent. Just…damn. Can I look at it forever?
There’s Gemma Ward lying in a room full of cakes!!! Ga;aldkjg;alkgha;dghad;! That is the best post I have ever seen there…I must find out more about this Tim Walker person. He is awesome.
I wish I had a budget that would let me wear Vivienne Westwood clothes all the time! She makes me want to be a better person.
I can’t connect to the Tarina Tarantino video however, imagery of murdered girls for some reason just doesn’t make me want to buy stuff!
Great List – a whole days reading and learning, my two favourite things
I was so excited to see the Princess Bride link! I bought the DVD a couple of months ago for $10, it was so worth it.
Have a great weekend!
So many great links this week! I need a whole day just to explore them all!
I looooove for The Princess Bride…still one of my all time favourite movies!
I think I want to live inside that Vivienne Westwood commercial…Whimsical days filled with picnics and corsets and sapphic interludes. ;)
Foto_decandent is my new best friend.
Jeffree star is my latest fad.
Princess Bride is my favorite movie of ALL TIME. And I left my copy at home when I moved up to college, and I can’t get my mom to send it. Despite the fact that BOTH copies that we own (VHS and DVD) were Channukah gifts to me. I’m stealing the DVD when I go home for Thanksgiving.
Love those Tim Walker photos!
How cool are those pics, love the elfy foresty ones and that one where the girl’s got a pissed off looking Burmese cat in each hand! And the one of the girl on the stair case with the amazing blue gown Xxx
Gala
Don’t be mad!
I bought the Chanel sunglasses. I’ll have to let you know if I have a good eBay experience with them

Hi. Don’t know if you’ve watched the most recent ANTM ep but I started going through FotoDecadent and came across this photo shoot with the same rock climbing idea!
http://community.livejournal.com/foto_decadent/1517081.html#cutid1
I’ve gotten obsessed with all the NTM’s it’s bad but good for procrastinating. You don’t happen to have a link to the earlier CNTM ones do you? I can’t find them on youtube.
That model with the braces is gorgeous.
oh my lord! my horoscope is so acurate its scary. It says i will be inside alot in the coming months doing creative projects, working hard with much concentration. it says its my passion. ( im strudying an art course and i have lots and lots of work to do. i love it) that ill make a trip that will take less than a day to travel to (im visiting my bf, whos away at uni, its a 2 hour drive), love relationships getting stronger, and that in 2 months time i will have the best romantic period in a decade, possibly ever ( when my boyfriend gets back for a 4 week break at xmas!)
Im so excited its unreal!
thanks so much Gala for the great link
much love! xxx
wow wow wow! I love your carousel list thi week. . . is brimming over with inspirational madames and monsieurs! I’m going to sip my coffee and lounge with Snickers (my cat) while I peruse your lovely findings. . .
you like Jade from America’s Next Top Model, why? may I ask…........
gilda — Yes, she seems very outwardly strong, I can imagine that scaring the bejesus out of a lot of people! I love love love Karl so much. I love that he speaks so quickly & he actually has so inspiration that he can’t even fit it all in. & anyone who can speak more than one language is really sexy to me :D (Even though in Europe, everyone does.)
Casey — Princess Bride is so great! “Is this a kissing book?” Eeeee! I have the DVD somewhere myself, might be time to crack it out!
Jo — I’ve been receiving Rob’s horoscopes for yeeeears! I mention him quite a bit around here :> I was hoping to meet him at Burning Man last year but I never did.
Batopus — I know, isn’t he amazing?! & I had NEVER EVEN heard of him! Criminal, I tell you! He has a marvellous aesthetic.
JakJak — Mmm, Ms. Westwood certainly has a point. People think they can’t afford to buy good clothing, but it’s just a case of saving up! No one ever saves up for anything anymore, they just whack it on their credit card & don’t think about it. It makes my brain hurt. Arrrgh.
Nadia — Sapphic interludes 4 lyfe! Hee hee.
Poochie — Oh, GOOD FOR YOU! How exciting! Send me pictures. I hope they make you feel like a rawwwwwk star!
Jess — Yeah, I saw the latest episode yesterday! What an amazing shoot. I was so impressed. I actually sent that link to my boyfriend because he is a rock-climber himself :> I was so impressed with Jenah’s photo, it makes me want to try it myself! & I cannot begin to tell you how glad I am that Kimberley went home, she was so mean! I don’t have a link to the CNTM episodes sorry, maybe try asking in topmodel_eps?
Rebecca — Whee! I love horoscopes that fit your life exactly!
Jeannine — Hope you enjoyed it, honeypie!
vanessa — She’s gorrrrrgeous with really cool, interesting style. I also liked her confidence. It was a shame that she started using that to manipulate other people, but you know. I just thought she was really awesome. She had personality, which so many of those other girls lack.
wow…. i swear i commented yesterday… ah well…
I love Tim walker those shots are amazing but they missed out his surrealist shoot for British vogue which was amazing!!! thanks for the links!!! i am now actually obsessed with ur site! not a good sign considering the HSC starts rather soon!
I know these girls are surprisingly WOW! I don’t know how but almost every photo was gorgeous.
Yeah Kimberley was evil but Bianca is my pick for bitch of the cycle haha.
I haven’t been rock climbing in years but I do remember the giant wedgie from those harnesses which makes me even more impressed with the girls.
lovely carousel!
Thanks Gala :D!
Love your carousel as usual!
Those strawberry cupcakes look sooo precious and delicious!
Also, I’m not sure if you know about this You Are Beautiful project, but it’s amazing.
