What’s up, kiddies? Enjoying the weather? After a week of waxing poetic for short stories, bios, letters, websites, Valentine’s gifts, and why the mail should be sent on Sunday, I am ready for a break. I think some sort of crafty art project is in order. Or just eating more brownie batter.
But first I am proud to present my finds from another week of trolling the internet!

The creative folks at NaNoWriMo have teamed up with The Book Doctors to offer this year’s WriMo paticipants a lottery of sorts: anybody who submits a book pitch has a 1 in x thousand chance of being drawn, randomly, for a free consult with professional book polishers. It’s sort of like The Hunger Games except everybody wants to die.
Anyway, I plan to use this lottery as motivation to undertake the Writing of My Book Pitch. Since I’ve written something of Ye Olde Adventure Storye, I might just take the tone of this epic literary work by Mr. Mike Lacher:
“In Which I Fix my Girlfriend’s Grandparents’ WiFi and Am Hailed as a Conquering Hero”

PANIC
Stop it, you weirdo designers!
Christian Louboutin created these 8″ ballerina-inspired heels for the English National Ballet’s summer party last year. They were auctioned off to the craziest person in the house.
Now I’m going to have rosin-fueled nightmares about those two years I took pointe classes. To say nothing of the four or five times I actually made it onto my toes.

I could spend the next week of my life writing the story of that man on the steps.

As Boyfriend and I have been painting the bedroom, I’ve found myself lost in a sea of paint samples. Colorful chicklets on the walls. I’m not sure if this site helps or hinders my natural obsession, but if you share my affinity for mixed media art, moods boards or color, you’re going to love Design Seeds.
Seriously, go there, like, now.

Christian Louboutin sought higher learning from the design schools of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. He initially worked at the universities, and then began working for Roger Vivier in 1988. While working for Vivier, Louboutin realized that his calling was to create women’s shoes. He worked as a landscaper for three years but returned to the fashion industry in 1992 with his own line of shoes. The solo artist created classic, timeless footwear that enabled women to reach bold new heights.shoes outlet sale from New York .
