Karl Lagerfeld & Linda Evangelista!

THIS IS THE 100th THINGS I LOVE THURSDAY! Amazing! I am so excited by how long this has been going for, & it just keeps getting bigger & better! Things I Love Thursday is a total internet phenomenon, seen all over the place in various incarnations, inspiring people to see the beauty in their own lives & delight in the details of others’. I want to thank you all so much for your unerring enthusiasm, heart-expanding love & sweet devotion to keeping TiLT alive!

Here’s to many, many more TiLTs!

My father & the Dish emailing each other (they are kindred spirits like you wouldn’t believe); the fact that my favourite deli does home-delivery of my favourite sandwiches; my Faux-biaga booties (I have been wearing them pretty much every day & I am totally in love with them); smudgy black sparkly eyeliner pencil; being walked home in the mornings; Beefcake’s Viande De Gateau (it’s still great, years later); listening to every number one single from 1952 to the present day — in order; faux job interviews; magical vitamins (I will write about them soon!); daydreaming about fall fashions; mentally preparing myself for more travel (it has been a nice couple of months at home!); the way people react to me having long hair (summary: resoundingly positively, but it’s a very chicken-or-the-egg scenario — are they responding positively because I look good or because I feel good & therefore look good?); anyway, regardless, long hair is the best; being productive; looking forward to lots of girltastic fun-time; John Lennon’s Imagine…

Yo Gabba Gabba! which is the most incredible show I have ever seen, it is like the inside of my brain at all times. I saw it for the first time last night. Unicorns sliding down rainbows, “My name is Gala & I like to dance!”, Pop Tarts on a train, carrots, yeah, in my tummy, party party!, songs about smiling & being happy, & it features Mark Mothersbaugh & Biz Markie!

Jazzi & Nadia & Nubby & Sammy — All of whom arrive within the next week (with the exception of Jazzi who is here already)! Actually, when I think about it, it’s kind of creepy — they are all small in stature (I don’t think any of them are over 5’5″) with black hair & brown eyes. They’re like an army! AN ARMY OF CUTE! I can’t wait to see them! & I can’t wait to be working side-by-side with Miss Nubbenstein! It is so much fun to share a space with her, we are constantly brainstorming & laughing & making evil plans, & we have also decided to bring back cocktail hour! Ahhhhhhh!

My new yoga class, because it is perfect & nothing about it needs to be changed. My teacher is from Sweden & the class is always very small, usually between 3 & 5 students. She plays Damien Rice & Jose Gonzalez & lots of other music I really like, & during Savasana, she anoints you with essential oil, cradles your head, & gives you a massage. Um, amazing. Each class is totally different & I never know what to expect, which is great because it means you never get bored. She encourages me to try new things & adjusts me a lot. I love her. Also, this week the guy next to me fell asleep & started snoring, it was so funny & cute. That kind of thing bonds you to a class. I am so excited to be back into my practice & loving it so much!

Korres & not only because they sent me a bunch of products, but because what they sent me is 100% delicious! I had never used any of their skincare before & I am really impressed. I’ve been using their Wild Rose 24-Hour Cream (Make-up Alley review) as a night cream & I really like it, it smells good & soaks in really well. I’ve also given their Pomegranate Cleansing & Demake Up Wipes (Make-up Alley review) a whirl, & prefer them to the baby wipes I usually use — they smell brilliant & are more thorough than I’m used to! But without a doubt, my favourite product of the bunch is their Jasmine Lip Butter (Make-up Alley review). It is totally scrumptious & I am obsessed with it, & have kept the pot next to my computer where I apply it with feverish regularity. It’s creamy & luscious, with the added perk of smelling like candy floss. YUM. Consider me a convert… They also told me to tell you that if you guys use the code iCiNG at check-out, you’ll get 30% off your online purchases until September 15th! Hello, rad!

…Adjusting to the weather (we left the haus this morning & thought it was “chilly” — it was 24 degrees Celsius); clearing out my inbox; a drawer full of colourful knickers; really good/bad old music; looking at pictures of Richard Simmons & laughing from sheer delight; looking at Hank’s face & laughing because obviously I am nuts; making up songs & chants; Gary Numan; seeing this comment on Youtube “i dont see whats so trippy about ketamine, it just makes me walk like a robot :/”; having vampire picnics; wearing the Dish’s shirt; favourite secret breakfast spots; exciting stuff in the works; RedBull obsession; being excited about my friend’s love affair, & also, I saw a really adorable honey-coloured Cocker Spaniel mix the other day & I think I am in love with it. (I have kind of gone off dachshunds — sound the alarm!!!)

Et vous, sweet bunnyheads of the world? What is making you dizzy with excitement & ecstatic with joy? This is the 100th Things I Love Thursday so let’s make it a biggie this week, huh?!
