here! i made you a sampling of etsy goodies, catagorized by the food pyramid.
see, at the bottom you got your wheat, grains, pasta, bread. above that are veggies on the left, fruit on the right. over the fruit is protein which is next to dairy, all topped off with grease and sugar! (science fun fact: grease and sugar are also known as “delicious.”)
by the way, this is based on the “old” food pyramid. why? because the new one is badly designed and i hate it. clicky.
natalie zee drieu’s digital style blog coquette featured an amazing rant about the bad design featured on marc jacob’s new perfume web site.
predictably, this prompted the obligitory and inane “works fine in windows” comment.
genius. as we all know, every single person on the internet uses a windows machine, and microsoft products are the simplest, best designed, easiest to use goods on the market.
…….yeah.
anyway, today i found this video, and it made me happy.
blood of bee makes disturbing, fuzzy, whimsical toys and accessories…all of which make me happy. pictured above you’ll find “Lil Miss Muscals – Astro Babe” and “Furry T-bone Steak childrens T-shirt.”
update: she’s gonna make me a meat patch that i can put on my own shirt! woo! clicky.
i’m not usually a fan of your average mash up, this one got me good. fosse choreography is fascinating, but watching gwen verdon sync up with unk is hypnotic.
this is a daddy longlegs who took up residence in my shoe last night. if this happens to you, please don’t blow on him to see if he’s alive because he hates when you do that and he climbs up into the darkness of your shoe to prove it.

i love it when an artist creates a piece that means something to them, taking the chance that others might feel the same way. forget your average pop culture icon. why not sport a pendant featuring a photo of oscar wilde? or how about scaring your family with a scowling lizzie borden ’round your neck? clicky.
A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up. The gas pumper spots two penguins sitting in the back seat of the car.
He asks the driver, “What’s up with the penguins in the back seat?”
The man in the car says “I found them. I can’t think of what to do with them.”
The clerk ponders a bit then says, “You should take them to the zoo.”
“Hey, that’s a good idea,” says the man in the car and drives away.
The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car.
“Hey, they’re still here! I thought you were going to take them to the zoo.”
“Oh, I did,” says the driver, “And we had a swell time. Today I am taking them to the movies.”
