The colors are so vibrant and pretty... I even like just how they look on the page. This looks like it'd be really fun to do with kids :))

nowness?

www.nowness.com, formerly eluxury.com, is another one of those art/lifestyle blogs (that comment is only a little bit tongue-in-cheek), except it's owned by LVMH. Do you care if it's owned by a corporation trying to sell you (expensive) stuff? Does that matter to you?

Hilarious (photoshoppppp):

"axel organizes his criterion dvds by catalog number and will snap at you if you get them out of order"

I choose you, Couture!

Remember when I said one of those conceptual shoes reminded me of a polygon? Here's a series of similar comparisons made by blogger John at Textbook. Whoever he is, he is so cute!!

His photo collage:

His accompanying commentary:

"1: armani prive and ninetails: the gathers on this dress, the detailing on the neckline and the femininity of it all match up to ninetails pretty well.

2: alexis mabille and dragonair: the seamless blue column, the sheer neck and even the hair are reminiscent of this graceful dragon pokemon.

3: givenchy and jigglypuff: she’s wearing a jigglypuff, i swear to god.

4: chanel and jolteon: the sharp collar, jewel detailing and vibrant nature of this piece are a perfect fit for jolteon (evolved form of eevee when you use a thunder stone, duh)

5: christian dior and articuno: grey breasted bird with long regal tail? can you even tell if i’m talking about the model or the pokemon? it’s especially fitting because articuno is one of the legendary pokemon, just as galliano and dior are legendary.

it’s not so far fetched to think of these light-hearted similarities. have a great day all.

*note to pokemon fans: this is limited to the original 151 pokemon because i stopped playing after pokemon sapphire"
