via fierceblackgirls on tumblr Little late today. I was out with Amanda some today, down at Barton Springs (which was packed!). I also got sunscreen in my eyes, which, for the record, is not something I recommend. But anyways here’s your links: Love these tanks from ArtLab – might have to have a go at…

Why I’m Not A Minimalist
So! Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve probably noticed that minimalism is totally the Next Big Thing. Or, possibly, the Big Thing Now. But me, I’m not a fan of minimalism, and here’s why: First of all, the aesthetic does absolutely nothing for me. I’ve never favored lots of white (hurts my…
Sandman and American Gods: Problematic Portrayals – Part One
So, if you recall the last installment, what we’re discussing today is one of the main themes in American Gods: that America is a bad land for gods/that there were no deities in America before non-indigenous people colonized America. I’m discussing them as one theme together because they go hand in hand – why weren’t there…
Marvelous Monday!
Fan-freakin-tastic group of links this week! 5 Myths About Depression That Annoy the Hell Out of Me Why are we willing to pay for fashion magazines, but not blogs? Good question! Is outsourcing exploitation? I don’t think this article is perfect, but it makes me really happy that someone is at least thinking/talking about it….
Saturday Shoelust: Flats
Lately, one of my knees has inexplicably started acting up. This means, among other things (like say, avoiding stairs and steep inclines at all costs!) that wearing heels is, at least right now, a bad idea. I’ve been looking for some cute, comfortable flats for summer, and I thought I’d share my finds with y’all……
Paganism 101
Walpurgisnacht bonfire Princess Poochie requested that I do a post talking a bit more about the pagan religions so she could better understand the Sandman/American Gods series. I’m happy to oblige, so here’s my paganism 101 post! (It might get long. You’re forewarned!) First off. My definition on paganism might not be the dictionary definition,…
Sandman and American Gods: Problematic Portrayals – Introduction
I know people get really touchy when you talk about their favorite artists, so let me say ahead of time: I like Gaiman’s work, for the most part. I think he’s a good writer. However, after doing a lot of thinking about it, I also think there are issues in some of his work that…
Marvelous Monday!
Reader Request: Making Uncomfortable Shoes Wearable. Why thank you, Sal, this is a great post! (Speaking of uncomfortable shoes, I am finally selling my Fluevog Sigourneys on eBay. Because wearing them makes my toes numb. And I have finally accepted that even though it didn’t happen the first time I wore them, they are essentially…
What do YOU want to see here?
I’m going to be completely honest with you guys. I’m struggling with the direction of Wicked Whimsy, pretty hardcore – I’m a little burnt out on style and fashion related writing, although I’m still interested in it personally…I just feel like I have nothing interesting to say about it right now. But I’m not sure…
Daily Outfit 5/5/10 & a small rant
I wore this last week to meet up with some newfound friends! Man, I love Twitter, yes I do. Farylrobin Visby boots – it has mostly gotten way too hot for me to wear my beloved Fluevog engineer boots. They’ve taken quite the beating this winter. This was kind of my last stand as far…
