LINKS TO PONDER WHILE I WANDER

Hello Dear Readers,
It's going to be a busy next few days for me, so I'm going to leave you all with a few tidbits to tide you over until Tuesday (at the latest). First, Dace and Dear Creatures have new collections out that are so lovely. Something very fanciful and spirited, yet erudite and academic about them, no? I can picture young professors wearing each and every piece in their beautiful collections.

Dace

 Dace's Fall 2012 Collection. See more here.

Dear Creatures

Dear Creatures Autumn 2012 Collection. See more here.

Ace & Jig

The newest Ace & Jig collection reminds me of the baja hooodies we used to wear in the '90s (and yes, of course that link IS a picture of Dylan McKay wearing one. Who else?). And I want all of it.

See more of the collection here.

Rifle Paper Co. 

Also, Rifle Paper Co. has a new 2013 calendar out, and it's stunning. I wants.

Cats!!

Lastly, for your weekly procrastination link, I bring you cats. What's that, you say? There are cats on the internets??? Yes, yes there are! 

So, cats are A-holes; we all know that. We love them for it, but let's be honest here. Watch with sound, cuz the second video is a winner. 

Ok, have a good weekend, Dear Readers, and see you Tuesday! Next week will feature a two-parter on Coney Island. Stay tuned!!

SUNDAY'S LINKS ARE BONNY AND BLITHE, GOOD AND GAY

Hello Dear Readers!!

It's already Sunday. I spent all yesterday sleeping and I am paying for it this morning. I feel like Frankenstein's Monster, if Dr. Frankenstein used parts from a sloth, a ham radio, and that macaroni luncheon meat.  

Anyhoo, here are Sunday's links, and Sunday's links are whimsical, hilarious, and just plain fun...

• This video is hilarious. Leave it to Gotye himself to make the best Gotye cover song yet. 
• Can't stop watching....wait for it...it gets better. Papaya, papaya, coconut banana. A serious WTF video that apparently is HUGE in Germany (which is not saying much, since so is David Hasselhoff) Warning: drug use is implied (though not in any detail).
• This website tests out Pinterest's most popular and most repinned DIY pins. The results are often hilarious. Like this attempt at using bleach to make pastel jeans. The original pin:

And, the real-life result:

Have a good Sunday, folks!!
