Carousel -- Week Ending 7th September 2007
[ 7 September 2007 ]
Bonjour! Over here in the antipodes, it just struck Friday. ¡Felicidades!, & all that! Here are some links to get you through the routine drudgery that can be the last day of the working week…
Key To My Heart is a little piece about a new love ritual taking place in Italy. Lovers buy a chain & a padlock (with key), write their names on the lock, then wrap it around a lamp-post & throw the key into the river… Awww.
Yehudi Menuhin plays Brahms Hungarian Dance No. 5. Okay, not everyone’s cup of tea, granted, but it’s so very Addams Family. Not to mention, the violinist has a delightfully square head!
Kingdom of Style found a lovely source for anyone lusting over Prada socks…
A (NSFW) but TOTALLY saucy video featuring sexy, curvy vixens, sitting on washing machines…
Overcoming Jealousy by Steve Pavlina. As always, it’s worth reading!
Angelina Jolie looking incredible in an ad campaign for St John, shot by Mario Testino. She is too gorgeous.
30 Happiness Tips: Program Your Life for Optimum Enjoyment from Dumb Little Man. I love Dumb Little Man, they have excellent posts all week long. You should subscribe to it via RSS!
My Brand New Life from the BBC. (Thanks, Christina!) A man decides to live brand-free for a year… admirable, but not a perfect scenario. He burned his possessions when he could have given them to charity, & the sum of his efforts is a book, which is really all about consumption, isn’t it? Anyway, food for thought.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

i love youu. all of your entries make me smile.
Ooh! Thanks so much for passing on that Kingdom of Style link. Must. Purchase. Socks. !!
The padlock love story is very cool but throwing the key in the river?? Ugh.
Dear lord, Angelina Jolie is stunning. The picture of her in the office… swoon... If only working life were really so glamorous.
I wasn’t feeling great this morning, but reading your blog makes me happy! The padlock story is pretty romantic, and the Angelina pics are gorgeous! The 30 happiness tips from Dumb Little Man I’ve saved! And My Brand New Life was very interesting! Mmm, don’t think I could do that! LOL :)
Sweet talk like that is enough to get Dumb Little Man to fall in love you too…{blushing}!

I love that the St. John ads have her looking intelligent and using her brain – not vapidly staring into space like most other ads.
Love the socks too. I just bought a slew of knee-highs and over the knee socks at SockDaydreams. Can’t wait to wear them with my new Fall muli-color Miu Mius!
Love

I love your attitude towards classical music – it’s often taken too seriously in my opinion :)
So anyway, for the ones that enjoy classical violin, here’s a video of a little boy dressed up in 17th century kind of clothes (oh dear, I wish I had a bigger fashion vocabulary :)) playing a Vivaldi concerto with his father:

He’s not only adorable, he’s grown up to be an awesome violinist, too :) Regards!
ooooooh! i love the Angelina Jolie pics! i saw others for St. John too in the latest issue of V.Fair (or was it Style Mag?...)
i love Jolie’s style. so classy, so tailored and so sexy. Very similar to Jackie O.
Thanks for all your hard work on iCiNG! i’ve developed a wonderful morning ritual of tea and Gala Darling – your posts totally help me start the day on a bright and smiling note!
Thank You!!!
