Hey ho kidlets!
So time to jump back into the real world, where actual things happen, instead of the imagined or fantasised!
First up, I heard Kings of Leon's new single this morning on triple j, Radioactive sounds amazing, you can watch the video for it here
Their new album, "Come Around Sundown" will be out mid October.
Avatar: The Last Airbender. This looks so unbelievably good I might just cry.
I remember when James Cameron's Avatar came out and I was so disappointed because it was about blue centaurs (don't kill me Avatar fans, I have seen the movie, just didn't really like it. It was pretty much Pocahontas with blue aliens instead of Native American Indians) and not the crazy Nickelodeon cartoon that a select group of people of all different ages had become obsessed with. The ultimate tale of good versus evil, with a lovable, bald boy savior where a totally different world was created.
Collective shout is an online community devoted to the goal of "freeing the world from sexploitation". It was suggested to me by a friend who recently became interested in feminism, after reading "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf.
By joining, you can open your eyes to a whole plethora of issues you might not even know existed. Collective Shout helps me to re-evaluate everyday things in a critical manner. This is a re-posting of an article by Melinda Tankard Reist, a writer who has a whole bunch of other equally great if not better articles, about cultural messages (or this case, mis-message) regarding advertising by underwear brand, Lovable.
The next few links are basically inspiration sites, constantly reminding me that there is no end to new ideas.
Here are some nice alternatives to The Sartorialist, even if they don't always hit the mark

The girl who writes Man Repeller is goddamn flipping funny. Basically, any fashionable clothe
s (demi-couture and the like) only do one thing. Repel men and make us look ugly. I just re-read that previous line and realised how stupid it sounded. We're not here to please men. I guess what I meant is, how ugly some of the things we wear actually are.
I hate not saving a page as a favourite when you're on it and not being able to find it later. Frustrating.
My super musician friend Holly recently gave me the best picks of her iTunes library. Which included a eff-load of this jazz musician Art Pepper. I'd suggest start with "Shaw Nuff" and "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To". Cool stuff.
My very first ebay purchase was this...
I know, gross right? It was for college though. And now I've learnt how to use eBay, I'm very scared for the safety of my savings. Very scared. Like one of my friends said "You can make it Christmas, like every day if you buy enough stuff".
I'll leave you with one last little tidbit, how to make it onto "The Satorialist". No Gisele Bundchen legs or Anna Wintour status necessary. Follow the steps and we'll be seeing you on there very soon!
I'm sorry it turned out so small!! Click on it to see it better!
