Artists from top to bottom: Erika Somogyi Luke Kopycisnki and The Stuntkid

A hilarious read by Agent Lover entitled “If I was a social networking site what would I wear” In which she asks: “Why is everything on the internet blue? Is there some sort of design handbook that states all websites of a certain nature must be a specific shade or variation of “Social Networking Site Blue” (SNSB)?” She goes onto choose outfits for Facebook, Myspace and the rest of the gang.
A visually fantastic short film about synesthesia, condition where senses are mixed, at extremes people report hearing colors and tasting words. I also blogged about this phenomenon and my own synesthesic tendencies.
Boing Boing presents a look into the THE ANCIENT BOOK OF SEX AND SCIENCE Which isn’t really about science and reproduction but is a picture book of midcentury styled paintings by Pixar animators depicting sex, robots and aliens.
Chloe’s post on Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s (gorgeous) Highland Park house being for sale +facts and tidbits you may not know about Ferris Bueller’s day Off.
An article entitled “Feminism is only slightly less annoying than Christianity” fromVagina Drum. She writes: “I minored in Women’s Studies in college, which is just another thing defensive white people say, along with “Some of my best friends are black” in order to prove to everyone that they’re socially aware and not like all those other white people who are in the KKK. I don’t regret it, since I learned a lot of what I should’ve already known.”
Pretty Robotic on Boundaries with a great check list for helping to create and keep boundaries.

Also looks into Beth Ditto’s plus sized fashion line leaked this week: only avail in sizes 14-32. From the looks of it, Ms. Ditto did well.

I looove the second dress. And with that I think ending with the Gossip’s glossy new video is only appropriate.

As an ex riot grrrl I was an early fan of Ditto. I’m actually not crazy about the disco revival that has been happening in the past year…but I think Beth’s souful voice really lends itself to this sound (which I guess is more electro.) How about a house revival using Beth’s pipes? I think she’s one lady with the right kind of soul to bring house music back without cheese.
