Carousel -- Week Ending 7th March 2008

[ 7 March 2008 ]

Happy Friday!

<3 A woman takes dominatrix lessons, courtesy of Bizarre magazine. Pretty interesting!

<3 Photographs by Marc Lagrange — beaucoup du nudity, though, so no peeking at work! His website is here.

<3 This is my new favourite picture: Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen in an embrace with Karl Lagerfeld. Seriously, it melts my heart. & look at Mary-Kate’s sunglasses! Delicious!

<3 Anthony, the infamous raw model, writes about re-creating Eden. I love reading his blog, it is truly refreshing & beautiful.

<3 I’ve been asked recently to compile a list of raw websites that I read. I actually don’t read many, but if you want to really tear into it, check out They Like To Give It To Me Raw! It’s one big RSS feed of all the best raw blogs — lots of information from lots of different places!

<3 Design That Kills interviewed one of my favourite girls, Nubby Twiglet! A super read for anyone who wants to know what’s behind the big red cross…

<3 This is my new favourite thing. I am a huge nerd.

<3 Living For Ourselves from DailyOM. I woke up to this email the other day & it made me go, “Oooooh…”

<3 In case you didn’t know, Oprah has teamed up with Eckhart Tolle, an amazing writer, to present weekly classes about his new book. The book is called A New Earth & it’s about awakening to your purpose. Tune in to the first video class here!

<3 Blogging is good for your social health! Pfffttt, I could’ve told you that…

<3 For all of you who went ga-ga over the Christian Dior dress I posted the other day, have a peek at Christian Dior: Je suis Couturier. Lots of pictures for maximum drooling!

<3 Self Doubt, SXSW, & The Evils of Comparison by Halcyon. Yarrrr, it’s worth a read, me hearties! (Sorry about the random piratey inflection… sometimes it sneaks up on me!)

<3 Sexual Identity Online, by Violet Blue.

<3 Natalia Rose is a raw nutritionist based in New York. This is her blog & it’s full of very interesting stuff.

<3 Sex & The City Movie: The Fashion! A clip giving a sneak preview of the wardrobe department! (Drool.)

<3 Fashion With A Sense Of Humour from Sing Eclectic. I like this post very much.

<3 5 Traits You Will Need on Your Way to Becoming a Leader from Dumb Little Man.

<3 If you’re a fan of SARK, have a listen to this… hip tranquil chick podcast #122: being succulent with SARK.

  1. Loving that photo of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen with Karl Lagerfeld – the hair, those bags, those glasses! So stylish it almost hurts. Love it. Thanks Gala!

  4. weeks, not wee’s!

    <3 moo · Mar 7, 10:34 AM · #

  5. Do you pronounce our name gay-la or gah-la? I’m wondering now because the host of the Daily Special pronounced it Gah-la…

    <3 lyra · Mar 7, 11:28 AM · #

  6. lyra — She pronounced it correctly :>

    <3 Gala · Mar 7, 11:29 AM · #

  7. omg i am so grateful to you for posting the louis xvi cribs!!! i saw that at the end of the marie antoinette DVD, and i had been seeking it out on the youtube for what seemed like ever! and here you are, presenting it now. yay and thank you, i’ve been wanting to share it with someone for a while :-)

  8. Lol. Cribs with Louis XVI is hillarious!

    Karl Lagerfeld is growing on me more and more. I wish there were more styly old dudes like him :]
    I usually hate big buggy glasses, but the fact that Mary-Kates are only half coloured makes them fabulous. I want some in a normal size now.

    <3 M-P · Mar 7, 12:23 PM · #

  9. I signed up for the DailyOM mailing list after you posted about it last time :) That particular article is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, and I took it as a kind of sign, I guess.

    Mmm. Lagerfeld. He (and his dress sense) are so tasty. Whenever I can’t dress myself of a morning I think, “What would Herr Karl do?”

    <3 Natalie · Mar 7, 12:29 PM · #

  10. those marc lagrange photographs are amazing! not for the faint hearted hehe

    adored the little video clip, you need to do some more! a tour of the icing bowl perhaps?

  11. What a cute interview!!!
    Now I’m itching to see you make a guest appearance for a sit-down interview on a talk show!

    <3 Nubby · Mar 7, 02:13 PM · #

  12. Gala, have you seen the John Galliano 2008 Spring/summer collection? Not only are the designs incredible, but the show was great! You must check it out!

    <3 Anaphora · Mar 7, 02:30 PM · #

  13. aw, i was hoping you could see me scurrying to and from work (Sephora Times Square, 43rd and Broadway) at all hours of the day and night (open from 0am til midnight!) but alas none of those cameras are at quite the right angle.

    ohhh well. thanks, as usual, for the amazing links!

    <3 Shauna · Mar 7, 03:37 PM · #

  14. I had no clue your name was pronounced like that…

    <3 Caitlin Marie · Mar 7, 04:37 PM · #

  15. So you are Gaw-la… I always thought you were Gah-la!

    <3 Annie · Mar 7, 05:34 PM · #

  16. ga·la [gey-luh, gal-uh; especially Brit. gah-luh]

    See, I thought you were the one in the middle, but I guess you’re the British pronounciation (naturally, since you’re NZ)!
    We Americans had no idea! :)

    <3 Annie · Mar 7, 05:41 PM · #

  17. I look forward to Carousels every week because you provide some awesome goodies. This week, I was lovin’ the photos by Marc Lagrange, the Cribs spoof, and the Dior photos, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a link to my blog. :) It makes me feel great that you liked my post because I was really happy about it. Thanks a billion!

    <3 grace · Mar 7, 07:19 PM · #
