Are there studs like these in
2009?
"Type A I'm not. Comfortable, caring and serious about a relationship, I am."
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while, posted on the Able and Game blog today. I hope the awesomeness of the video makes up for the average haiku.
By the way, Able and Game make the coolest greeting cards around. They are from Melbourne, which coincidentally is where I'm flying on Sunday, for a study course aka Nerdapalooza. If you're in Melbourne you can buy Able and Game cards here and save on shipping costs, I guess.
The latest issue of Shop Til You Drop magazine (that's right, I read STYD and I'm not afraid to admit it) features the beautiful illustrations of Kelly Smith in not one but two features. Her illustrations were used in last month's STYD and also in Vogue Australia earlier this year. Curious? See her portfolio here, blog here and flickr here. PS I love the font on her site.
