Sylvari Summer by Jamie Jang
I love this! Matt & I are going to try to go to the American Gods/House on the Rock Halloween event, and depending on the costume contest rules (it’s still up in the air as to whether the costume has to be something specifically from American Gods, or just a mythical creature in general), I would love to do something like this. Except with more clothes, and blue or green hair.
Links! We’ve got a meaty bunch this week, lots of food for thought for you (I know, on a Monday?! Save it for later, if you want!)
- Want to know how Tim Ferris prepares for public speaking? Of course you do! This seems like a super easy method, which would probably be more useful if I ever actually did any public speaking. Not that, you know, I want to.
- The good word of the day, courtesy of Alicia.
- This post from Kelly about Nice Guys and Nice Girls is so good it almost hurts a little.
- What no one’s telling you about paid vs. free.
- Definatalie is doing a body image product – getting statements from anonymous individuals & then doing corresponding sketches to match, the results will be put into a zine. She’s been posting some of them, and I particularly loved this one.
- An interesting photo shoot about the origins of life, from a 1998 Vogue Paris.
- The critical fashion lover’s (basic) guide to cultural appropriation. GREAT post. The comments are worth reading too.
- Rules for people of the random resume.
- Mixed Messages About Abstinence from Candie’s & Bristol Palin.
- Smart consumerism and the art of purging. I agree that getting rid of things can be almost as addictive as buying new ones…I tend to go through phases where I’m almost manic about emptying my closet, and then I’m annoyed about it two months later when I want to wear something I got rid of!
I hope your week is off to a great start, and that you had an amazing weekend! Mwah!
