a kiss with a fist is better than none!

I am loving this song right now. even if in the video she is wearing weird 90s tights. also, I am thinking this is one of those songs that everybody already knows about for months and then I just find it and get obsessed. I hate when that happens





florence and the machine.

and here is their version of a beyonce song that I love, too (halo, but b's version is obvi superior)
don't hate. I fuckin love queen B.

recreating the nyc skyline from memory

this is incredible.

"Stephen Wiltshire was diagnosed as autistic at aged three, did not speak until five but as an adult sells his art for thousands of British pounds.

Wiltshire was recently in New York for the last of nine massive panoramic drawings of major cities around the world. He has drawn each from his unique memory that stores the complete view of a city after taking a helicopter ride that lasts minutes."

drawn to scale perfectly.

the perfect thing for cold weather

1) it will heat up your apt from using the oven
2) it will help you get your winter coat (aka extra 10 pounds to stay warm during winter)
3) it gives you something to do b/c outside is too cold

pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing. mmmmmm.

still no pants

As made perfectly clear, I pretty much despise lady gaga. I hate her dumb, attention grabbing "art," and I hate even more that she is basically our generation's madonna, not that I even like madge that much in the first place. I hate that she isn't going to disappear in a year, I hate that she started a pantsless trend, and I hate that I'm starting to lose my active hate for her and it's morphing into more of a back-of-my-mind don't-really-care-hate.

fuck it, if you can't beat 'em, be 'em for halloween. lady gaga halloween costume ideas.

panties!

from mint siren

i love underwear (aka i want to be a pin up girl (but now everyone does these days))

i found an amazing blog about all things intimate and lacy called frou frou fashionista

considering all that underwear happening at fashion week for S/S 2010, it's worth checking out, even if you aren't a panty perv.

i got skills

(because right now i can't pay my bills)

eyebrow threading! so easy!

perfect for the lazy outfit-chooser

I am too poor for an iphone. but if I did have one, I would definitely download this ingenious app.
based on the weather of where you are (it determines it from a gps) and what type of event you're going to (movie night in, date night out, work), it suggests an outfit (all of which you can buy, of course, we DO live in a capitalistic society). but hey, if you're lazy like me, you can just see an adorable outfit suggestion and then match it to your own closet! I'm into it.

tim burton creates a fantasy fashion spread

for harper's bazaar and I am completely in love with it. especially the first shot.

yay or nay?

these are amazing, but I can't tell if they are actually rock-able or not. what do you think?

this makes me like cops a little more

especially at the :15 second mark

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

some cops were in the middle of a 9-hr, $4,000 drug raid when the drug dealer's security camera caught them doing a little something that wasn't really cop-like.

as if.

In her fashion Q&A column for the guardian, writer Hadley Freeman chose to respond to a question regarding fashion in the 90s;

Why do clothes from the previous decade look about a million times weirder and more old fashioned than clothes from, say, the 70s, or even the 40s?

She basically answered that 'people in the 90s dressed like crap' because people had 'simply no taste at all.' and then adds rather nonchallantly, that this holds true even for music; 'any decade that hosted 2Unlimited, The Crash Test Dummies and 4 Non-Blondes has lost its right to voice any kind of opinion whatsoever, Nirvana Schmirvana' (read the whole article here)

i don't think this woman thinks through a lot of the things she says and this isn't the first time i've disagreed with her. no, i'm not a HUGE fan of 90s fashion, the jeans were pretty bad for one, and i don't feel very good about scrunchies. But to say people weren't interested in fashion? Um, sorry but wasn't this the decade of the super models Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, Claudia Schiffer, and Linda Evangelista? Oh yeah, those guys. the ninties were a decade of 'anti-fashion', yes, but that doesn't mean that people weren't fashionable. a lot of iconic looks surfaced during this time, but not only that THEY ARE BACK IN FASHION TODAY. Doc Martens are hugely popluar at the moment. as are mid-drift tops, cut off shorts, leather jackets, leggings, denim jackets, platforms, knee-high boots, booties, and flannel (plaid) shirts. what about the fresh prince, 90210, my so called life, clarissa explains it all, GRACE FUCKING JONES??

and don't even talk to me about music. really. you are a fool.

matte nail polish is the shit

I like matte nail polish (thanks mia), especially the medium tone grey kind. I also like karen o.

I definitely like karen o. wearing matte nail polish. (but this isn't her hand)



go here to buy it ($19) since it is mad hard to find

please, nobody say the sentence "the new banksy"

I like this. a lot.

found in park slope

I love pedobear. and 4chan.

pedobear is amazing. and so is 4chan for doing this.

"4Chan once again used their nearly infinite power to juke the stats and
promote Pedobear to the #1 spot in a contest to find Miley Cyrus' biggest fan."

and if you don't know who pedobear is, here is a slight introduction . . .





I really, really love internet nerdz. also, I never want to be the focus of their attention.

take this, you twi-hards

dear johnny

hey john travolta,

you really confuse me. i saw grease on tv today and i have to admit i have a total wide on for danny zuko. he could be the perfect man, and if not he certainly dresses like him. why did you have to ruin that legacy with your closeted homosexuality, scientology, and growing a really fat neck/ head. pulp fiction was fantastic. i thought you were on the right track for a while there. stop disappointing everyone, it's selfish.

embarassing human beings

oh wow. besides being amazing for finding obscure cartoons on youtube, my other all time favorite use of the internet is laughing at the misfortunes of others. my two new hubs for this type of humor are as follows:

LAMEBOOK

makes fun of all the lame-o thing people post on facebook (hence the name). my favorite is when girls fight about their baby daddies, but i couldn't find a good one.

TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT
(717): hey this is lauren, i have to type for jon because he's convinced the tongs he's holding are his real hands

(347): I knew you were gonna be a good wingman when the words "dibs on the chunky one" came out of your mouth.

(310): Her vagina felt like a horse was eating an apple out of my hand..

(519): and then she said I drew a line on her forehead with my cum and whispered "Simba"

(619): just caught grandpa beating off in the living room


(386): I was rubbing the clit just like wikipedia told me to.

this could be the best thing that has happened to my free time. i thought this site was okay at first, but check out the 'best' and 'worst' nights. you won't be disappointed.

greatest videos!

adventure time! is a wonderful youtube video by pendelton ward that not only introduced us to the mystical Rainicorn but also brilliant phrases such as 'Rhombus!' as an exclamatory and 'Hey, sloppy milkshake!'

basically, this is one of my all time favorite internet discoveries.

now, there is another whimsically quirky cartoon by the same artist called 'the bravest warriors.' i am really happy so see more work from this guy.

definitely want to see this

everyone (read: all 4 of my friends) knows I didn't have a childhood (read: don't ever recognize childhood references), but I DID read where the wild things are. and I like spike jonze, who directed this. and minus the hipster douche attraction of the soundtrack, I really do think this will be good. even if the little kid does kinda talk like owen wilson.

extras

I have heard this show was really funny but I never really cared about seeing it until I saw this clip:



now I will definitely be netflixing this! too funny


I love ricky gervais, too, even if he is a cocky asshole with the biggest cock in hollywood (true story)

blog of an aspiring homemaker

this blog is amazing. it is the blog of an 18 yr old self-proclaimed aspiring homemaker (see above pic) who lives in georgia. apparently a few yrs ago she and her family were living regularly in atlanta, and as far as I understand, they decided to get a cottage for summertime and ultimately moved there full-time. they also were all homeschooled and dress in 1800s garb (most of the time).



here is the blog entry explaining their "transition to the simple life" and her decision to be a "stay at home daughter"




I am pretty into everything she does (is into family and being a good big sister, makes lemonade, sews, bakes delicious-looking food), but am not into these 2 things:

-she got into all of these things b/c she "found" christianity (she says this about how her garden party went: We were blessed with perfect weather and an enjoyable breeze. I used antique books as weights for the tablecloths, which added a vintage touch :) Over lunch, photo's were passed around [of course the baby/childhood pictures!]and I shared about how I'm a TOTALLY different person than I was 5 years ago and what a privilege it is to be in a Godly home. The women shared their testimonies & advice on biblical womanhood, and I deeply appreciated their knowledge in preparation for whatever the Lord may bring into my life)
-her list of reading materials from being homeschooled: Holy Bible and Christian books written before 1950



but there are some really stunningly beautiful photos on the blog. plus she seems v. sweet and adorably sincere

harveytown

I am so into this. steve harvey started a camp for boys without father figures called "harveytown." he has mentors come in and basically teach these boys and talk to them about everything a (good) father would.

he teaches them things like: how it is important to stay in school, the importance of appearance (aka don't look like a scrub), how to tie a tie, and so on. I like this --it takes a village-- mentality.



if I had money I would definitely donate to them.

officially the cutest thing I've ever seen

this adorable 5 yr old boy sings johnny cash's "folsom prison blues"

I kinda want to take him home with me and make him play this every morning to wake me up

debwa <3s taylor swift? y/n?

I just spent 45 minutes of my life watching taylor swift videos. I am not kidding.


videos like this:
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees.



and this:





I love her little mole face (ps did you know that naked mole rats are immune to pain? true story)




I'm also watching 10 things I hate about you on tv. I am officially a 16 yr old girl.
