Carousel -- Week Ending 7th December 2007

[ 8 December 2007 ]

Tenrikyo manga
“Just being alive makes me happy! What a waste it would be to not show some initiative!”

<3 Top 10 Most Preternaturally Beautiful Men. Yum! See also Coilhouse Style Vanguard: Princest. Intriguing & beautiful, but what else would you expect from the evil geniuses at Coilhouse?!

<3 Kate Spade ads from the Newestwrinkle community. I agree with the original poster, who said that those advertisements would be a nice world to live in. Anyone who can make books sexy gets a big tick from me. (Observant people will note the Olivetti Valentine in the last photo! Drool!)

<3 Photojojo is allll about cool things to do with your photos. So awesome! Thanks Nadine!

<3 We Tried It: Grilled Cheese from the Cincinatti Weekly. This is a cute little piece on the infamous “grilled cheese with truffle oil” sandwich from the first episode of Gossip Girl. Hee!

<3 Tricia Royal bites back at people who criticise other people’s sartorial choices! Preach it, sister! (Seriously, life’s too short to just sit around & judge people. Who cares?!)

<3 Asperger’s Syndrome Gets A Very Public Face, a piece from the New York Times about Heather on America’s Next Top Model. I love Heather so much that I’m not watching the rest of the series — I’m just not interested anymore!

<3 More Gossip Girl madness — how to be like Serena Van Der Woodsen & how to be like Blair Waldorf, from Wikihow.

<3 Phillipp von Hessen for German Elle. I am a sucker for masquerade masks on beautiful women. Now you know my secret weakness!

<3 Tina Su rocks my world! 40 Simple Gift Ideas to Spark a Smile is totally worth reading, as is The 5 Myths of Positive Mental Attitude.

<3 Meditation Techniques for the Busy or Impatient, from Dumb Little Man. Great tips! Yay!

<3 & if you’re quick, there’s a Chanel show being broadcast live, right this instant! You should tune in — it’s always worth it for a glimpse of Lagerfeld’s genius. Mmmmm!


Erykah Badu on Def Poetry Jam.


Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford. A++++!


Snoop Dogg’s new video! He’s wearing a turban!
Major vocoder overload but hey… I forgive him.


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  2. Oh god…I want Kate Spade shoes right now…

    Loved the Preternaturally Beautiful Men. Gary Olman is one of my favorites – such intensity! Yum!

    And agree with Kate Spade Smart+Books+cute Shoes= Sexy!

    But Blair hates Target! What?!? I guess it’s a good thing I don’t watch that show (although the fashion sounds good).

    And White truffle oil is the bomb (I like the Black Truffle oil too)! Especially on roasted potatoes. They go great with anything cheese-related.

  5. Great, I loved Photojojo and the how to be like Serena article. I love Gossip Girl!

    About ANTM I’m with you. I won’t watch it, I’ll just read who wins jejee.

    Kisses.

    <3 Julie · Dec 8, 01:58 AM · #

  6. OMG Jan von Holleben’s photos are amazing :) it’s further down on the photojojo site, have you checked them out Gala?

  7. Re: Simple gift ideas

    You can also get USB feet warmers! they look like scuff-around slippers, but they’re attached to a board that sits under your desk. Plug in, insert feet, and get your iCing fix for the day while your tootsies are toasting! Tres Bien!

  8. I have a friend with Asperger’s, sometimes he’s very tiresome to deal with, which makes me feel guilty. It’s just really draining to have to actually think about and explain things other people take for granted, like sarcasm and subtle hints over and over again. On the other hand he’s an absolutely fantastic kisser, so hey… (we had a fling, although strangely enough his Asperger’s didn’t have anything to do with it not working out)

    <3 nana · Dec 8, 02:32 AM · #

  9. Loved the list of Preternaturally Beautiful Men! Christopher Walken is hot…I don’t care if I’m 24 and he’s old enough to be my grandfather ;)
    Plus, David Bowie = God.

    I think Coilhouse is my new favorite blog, after yours of course! Thank you for introducing it to me, Gala :) You find the coolest stuff on the ‘net.

    I also liked the meditation techniques. Impatient is my middle name. I’m having a stressful week and I might have to try some of those out.

  10. Wow, thanks so much for linking to Photojojo! We’re honored!

    <3 Amit Gupta / Photojojo · Dec 8, 02:59 AM · #

  11. I LOVE your coilhouse links! That site is just grrrrrrreat.

    This guy is incredible!

  12. As soon as Heather went I realised she was all I was watching for and I no longer cared about the rest. I also really loved her face, every time I saw her I would sigh, beautiful. Steve Jobs’ speech was great. I need to remember everyday, that I have nothing to lose and to go get foolish!

    <3 Magpie_Dandy · Dec 8, 03:55 AM · #

  13. Tickled as always to find ourselves in such good company, dollink.

    MMMMMMMWAH!

  14. 生きてるだけで、充分幸せなんだ！！★

    <3 gilda · Dec 8, 06:06 AM · #

  15. Oh dear, that Kate Spade ad has me absolutely giddy! Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers and is a great inspiration.

    On the flip side, I have to say I didn’t like the “How to be Serena/Blair” articles. I think it was more instructions on how to clone Serena and/or Blair and have the clones walk around in your life instead of how to incorporate the essence of Serena/Blair into your own personality, if you know what I mean.

    Anyway, great links, as always. :P Have a wonderful weekend!

    <3 Ariel · Dec 8, 07:32 AM · #

  16. Ariel — I think they were written in a fairly tongue-in-cheek style; they made me laugh! :D

    <3 Gala · Dec 8, 07:57 AM · #

  17. i am so so so addicted to coilhouse, its on my have-to-view-everyday list…it even helps me for inspiration for my visual art class.

    <3 Christy · Dec 8, 10:25 AM · #

  18. Yay, I’m pleased you were able to share the Photojojo joy! Thanks so much for the link to the fantastic Tricia-article – I’ve just been checking out wardrobe remix on her site, which I haven’t done for a while. Yum! Inspiring! Wish I was part of it! And also, I wish I wasn’t so “thing” about posting photos of myself on the net. Maybe I need to get a fake name . . .

    <3 Nadine · Dec 8, 11:35 AM · #

  19. Nadine — Yes! Make up a name & wear a mask! That would be totally awesome. I wish I still had plastic masks, maybe I need to go out & buy more.

    <3 Gala · Dec 8, 11:36 AM · #

  20. Snoop is such a weird looking guy! I’m definitely digging the old school vibe though.
    Plus, that Steve Jobs video is awesome. Thanks Gala :)

    <3 Steph · Dec 8, 11:54 AM · #

  21. Ooh yeah, I have a mask . . .
    ;-)

    <3 Nadine · Dec 8, 01:25 PM · #

  22. I’ve started watching Gossip Girl on your recommendation and so far I’m loving it!

    <3 Amy · Dec 8, 02:15 PM · #

  23. Photojojo is so awesome! Thanks for the link!

    And i’m in love with Gossip Girl, so I looovveeedd the article on how to be like Serena! :)

    <3 Sarah · Dec 9, 06:43 AM · #

  24. Gala,
    Thank you so much for linking to the article on Heather Kuzmich. My brother in law has Asbergers and it’s a very looked over social disorder in America right now, possibly the world over. I really hope that she will continue to get jobs and possibly become the face of Asberger’s. It will shed some much needed light on the topic.

    <3 Jami · Dec 9, 09:30 AM · #

  25. That Steve Jobs speech was very motivational! I wish he had been our speaker, haha. I can definitely see why you liked it!

    <3 Victoria · Dec 9, 08:25 PM · #

  26. gasp I LOVE THE KATE SPADE ADS!!! I’m definitely these on my computer!
