Grad school has just started up again, and I’m finding that I missed it a bit (but not too much). Here are some cool/sexy/nerdy links that have carried me through the week (and will hopefully do the same for you through the weekend).
PERSONAS: How Does the Internet See You? Check it out to get your own personal data portrait. (Thanks Nubby!)
Bondage/bandage goodness from Savant. I’ve been lusting for quite a while. Cash, anyone?
Remember that post I made about unobtainable shoes? It seems we’re moving toward a solution, for some: if you’re outside the United States, and want something here which you can’t have shipped to you, GIMME GIMME has got you covered.
I love this ridiculous, edgy fashion editorial at Numéro Tokyo with Ali Stephens (scroll down, and ignore the warnings, unless you’re a total prude).
Created by Andrei Gheorghe of Romania, The Longest Poem in the World is composed entirely of rhyming twitter updates, aggregated in real-time. Growing at over 4,000 verses a day, this behemoth is no fine literary work, but it’s interesting nonetheless. (Thanks, Matthieu!)
I can’t get this out of my head!
Write to Done: Is Google Analytics a Creative Writing Tool?
Serious Shoe Lust (and boy am I serious): Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, Giuseppe Zanotti, platform cutout slingbacks, DinSko, & Jeffrey Campbell. I think I may purchase the latter.
Dramatis Personae recently gave props to Erin Fetherston for her short films (created for her various fashion collections)–if you’re into clothes and subtle, bizarre plotlines, they’re worth checking out.
Style Stalker has fantastic stuff. No words. Black Milk Clothing isn’t bad, either.
Anonymous confessions are mailed in on postcards for your viewing pleasure at Post Secret. Great for voyeurs (or you could mail one in yourself). Some of these are intense.
I keep seeing this odd frock around. Opinions?
Brock Davis is making something cool every day–how awesome are some of these? (Thanks, Bec!)
JAK & JIL drives me wild sometimes.
The Impossible Project is teaming up with Urban Outfitters in a mission to bring back the polaroid. Awesome! You can also support this project with a t-shirt.
Speaking of Urban Outfitters–in the mood for free indie music streaming and downloads? Go have fun listening to strange music (past and present!)–I’m loving this lately.
Happy Friday! I hope your weekend is filled with many adventures and much weirdness.
That odd frock is the Christian Francis Roth subway dress! I’ve been briefed heavily about it by WendyB. She has it on in a post on her blog.
Nice link list. That twitter poem is intense.
Thanks–I caught a glimpse of the map dress a while back on Nieman Marcus, and it’s popped up on my radar a few times since then. Very strange. I kind of like that, though. The neat thing about the Twitter poem is that it updates from the top, not the bottom (ie. ascends, rather than descends), so that whenever you visit the page it’s always different. I wonder if you could read it from bottom to top?
love the first pic
