Blogback Mountain

Gala is running a wardrobe makeover series that has almost--almost--inspired me to go through my closet. And when I say "closet," I mean, "the pile of clothes on my floor that is roughly as big as the pile of Triceratops shit in Jurassic Park." And that was perhaps the worst analogy I've ever made. Sorry about that.

Frequent commenter Peajai has started her own blog full of fabulous plus-sized fashions. And it's not just a relentless ode to Lane Bryant like most full-figured style sites.

Kori at the Fashion-y Blog has discovered a new perfume that makes her want to eat her wrists. Her description (including a Ben & Jerry's reference) kind of makes me want to eat them too. Pray we never cross paths, Kori...

The eyeliner I used in 1998 would have been a nubby, cracked Maybelline pencil I stole from my friend Brittany who stole it from her mom. Jennine was using Chanel. And she still does (the very same compact), to fabulous effect.

Lalla Lydia delves into the good, the bad, and the freakin' hilarious of ruffled fashions.

And finally, if you get jealous when you read about people getting amazingly cute shoes custom made with gorgeous fabric from Japan, don't read this.

I just want to let you know that your Jurassic Park analogy made my morning. :)

Thanks for the shout out girl! I totally think of Daddy Likey as my sister site (and not in weird homely step-sister kind of way. :)

ROFL AT WORK! Winona, I love your humor. So I've definately got to check in with Gala darling for the next few days because I'm at the point where I don't even NEED hangers I just stick the clothes in there and they get held up by all the other stuff crammed in there...sheesh. Thanks for letting us all know about her.

I did want to mention though a great Portland-based online magazine (and blog!) called Skorch magazine which has great beauty and fashion editorials and tips for ALL beauties, but is geared at the ladies who aren't covered by the mainstream. They're very smart and fun, take a look (links are also through my blog; my hairdresser swears by them).

PS: Is that Carrie's closet from Sex in the City? That's one of my dream closets, two doors!
