Carousel — Week Ending 9th October 2009
Welcome to Friday (or Thursday, whatever!) my sweet dumpling! I hope your day is shaping up to be très magnifique! If it ain’t, this collection of silliness will surely bring a grin to the face of even the most dour pirogi! I wish I could find a picture of dumplings dancing. Like this but with tutus.
Okay I am getting totally off-track. HERE WE GO!
Want something rad to do on Friday November 13th? Sanrio, Bubblepunch & Royal-T are having a Hello Kitty goth party in L.A.! HAHA, awesome. Shrinkle will be there too, how have we not met yet?! I want to go… !
Tina emailed me about I heart unicorns perfume. Apparently it smells like an ’80s childhood! Has anyone tried it?!

I like this poem:
Love After Love by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved youall your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Hello Viktor + Rolf, you are amazing. Aw, Sonia Rykiel! So cute. Shows like this make me wish I was a fashion designer JUST so I could have shows.
Zoe Foster talks about Lindsay Lohan’s lips & the problems with injections in that area. Good points, ladies! (For the record, I am not against cosmetic procedures. But I think some are more likely to be successful than others…)
BEATLE JUICE!!! This is sooooooo good.
Say something nice to me… by Jeroen.
Givenchy never fails me, either. YUM. I want to mate with these shoes.

The reason New Zealand men dress so badly is that if there is one overarching pattern that shapes the clothing choices of New Zealand men, it is their great fear of “looking like a poof”.
More DIY happiness from Jazzi: Alexander Wang Spring 2010 socks. Girl has skills. I am so not that patient… or clever!
The Importance Of Speech. I need to print this out & wallpaper my brain with it.
Barbie Gone Bad — Works From The 7th Annual Altered Barbie Exhibit is very strange. Kali is my favourite.
From the same blog, Charlotte Mann is rad & cut-up currency.

Watch them all please.
Thank you.
