Carousel -- Week Ending 6th June 2008
[ 6 June 2008 ]
Happy Friday, moons & spoons!
Yummy aesthetics: A selection of photographs by Simon Lekias; ditto Tara Darby; here’s a Tom Ford advertising campaign by Terry Richardson (yes, of course there is nudity); Yohji Yamamoto advertising campaigns; a colourful & FABULOUS editorial from Dazed & Confused; & Phillippe Salomon rocks my world.
A Woman In Full, a feature on Angelina Jolie from Vanity Fair. (I love Ms. Jolie.)
It’s as if the Jolie-Pitts are pioneering a new genre of family, with children from every global hot spot and parents who are beautiful and famously not married. “People have made a lot out of it that we’re not,” she said, “but we both have been married before, and it’s very easy to get married, but it’s not easy to build a family and be parents together.”
Sex & The City: A Product Placement Roundup from Vanity Fair Daily. Honestly, the product placement bugged me. Now I know why.
The liberating effect of failure from CNN Money.
I saw the image on this article — Independent Fashion Bloggers: Your Turn — & knew I had to link it in my carousel. What a delightful surprise to see that Jennine mentions iCiNG as an example! I am very flattered… & of course, I totally agree with her!
Nubby asks, Does Your Stuff Define Who You Are? Check out the commentary, too.
Shay emailed me about this cool DIY project: How To Make Cupcake Bath Fizzies. What could be better than a cupcake in the bath?
...Wait, I can answer that! Cupcakes dancing! Azalea recommended this video in her comment on Things I Love Thursday, & it is SO incredible that I just had to share…
Sark’s e-letter for June is all about doing things badly, more often! It’s very charming. Read it now!
Neo-Martha from the Oktavia community. Cute easy decorating ideas, yay!
If you liked my piece from Wednesday — Marianne Williamson’s quote & my added bits — you will be in equal amounts of rapture watching Lindsey Markel read it. WOW!
Songza is “the music search engine”. Ooh la la! The possibilities! It’s really cool. Enjoy!
Norman Vincent Peale’s Top 10 Positive Pearls of Wisdom from the Positivity Blog.
Seth Godin’s email checklist. Read it! Learn it! Live it!
How To Take A Mini-Retirement: Tips & Tricks from (who else?) Timothy Ferriss.
I just found this girl, Julia Nunes on Youtube. She plays covers of songs on her ukelele. Sometimes she uses a tissue box & a wooden spoon as percussion. She is good & has a cute personality. Listen/watch! It will make you smile!
& finally, Tina Su writes The Panacea For Putting Things Off — something I think we can all relate to!
Enjoy your Friday!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

I have loved Julia Nunes for a long time, I hope this post gets her even more subscribers!
She writes some of her own songs too, I am an addict! Try out “Into the Sunshine” youtube.com/watch?v=Jk5L0
I listen to her everyday at work. She makes me happy.
Thank you for sharing the cupcake video! It made me giggle the entire time, in a way I haven’t done in a while! You always manage to find the most ridiculously amazing things, it makes me wonder how you do it!
I hope you are having a good day!
If you liked Julia Nunes, you’ll LOVE Kina Grannis. She does the same thing, just with an acoustic guitar and her sisters as backup vocals. it’s amazing.

I’m glad you liked the dancing cupcakes! this post was fabulous! I luuuuurve the jelly fish, they’re so… serene. also, thank you muchosly for the The Panacea For Putting Things Off. I am a habitual procrastinator and I have decided recently that that should change. this was definitely a good kickstarter.
hearts and stars and butterfly kisses
p.s. does anyone know where online I could buy one (or more) of those tiered pastry cupcake holders?
The cupcakes! Aaaaaahhh!
I’m not usually scared of jellyfish, but as serene & lovely as it is, that first video freaks me out a bit! the thought of them all round my legs makes me squirm.
Happy Friday! (Is it really the end of the week already?!)

you may want to check out projectplaylist.com, too. i just checked out your music website and pp runs smoother on my computer, so it may for you, too!
Jellyfish are so beautiful and intriguing and colossally cool… until they and their tentacles are wrapped around your face!
molly — Argh, what a visual! I was stung by a jellyfish in Hawaii. A little one, but still — it hurt.
Hahaha, i had a huge discussion about jellyfish awhile ago
did you know theyre asexual?? you learn something knew everyday :)
Thank you so much Gala for that Songza site- it’s brilliant!
Super long carousel this week!
I’m going to make some of those bath fizzies!
