Blogback Mountain

My friend Catherine has been posting some phenomenal tribute posts to her dad on her fabulous foodie blog, Dear Dave Lieberman.

Academic Chic wins me over (yet again) for using the phrase, "Nerp doesn’t believe in gender-normative appearances." Amazing.

I just started taking sewing lessons with my Great Aunt, which usually devolve into me breaking her sewing machine and her calling me the worst student she's ever had, but someday, mark my words, I'm gonna make myself a fabulous jacket from a Built By Wendy pattern.

The prettiest lil' blog post in all the land!

Are you guys reading WendyB's new blog for designer Christian Francis Roth? You totally should, because it's awesome. Also, if you don't read it she might kick your ass.

"There are a few things in life I fundamentally believe in. One of those things is the fact that there is never an inappropriate time to bake a cake." And an epic rainbow cake, specifically!

Oh Rhiannon, you're so pretty and stylish and clever! Can we be BFF? Do I sound desperate? Damn.

A Cup of Jo covers The Uniform Project, one woman's quest to wear the same dress for a year, changing it up with different stylings and accessories. Sometimes I wear the same jeans for a week, but my motivation is usually laundry-related.

Jennine + We Love Colors = Mad Style

Who would play you in the movie of your life? A lot of readers have told me I sorta look like Billie Piper, but in New Orleans my brothers kept calling me Owen Wilson, so whatev.

And finally, fellow Word Freaks definitely need to check out the new(ish) blog Words Between the Spaces, which is written by my most favorite copy editor and includes lots of wordy and grammar-y goodies!

I don't know if Doutzen Kroes is much of an actress, but I think she is your secret twin. That is all.

I really enjoyed Sarah's piece re: movie of your life... :D

WendyB said...

Even if I don't kick ass, I will at least give a bitch a very painful noogie. So, yeah, read my blog. You've been warned.

Anne At Large said...

Ooh I totally see the Billie Piper comparison. Just don't watch her Jane Austen stuff.

Darling W, thank you for the shout-out! Because of Blogback Mountain, I've received a million (which, to me, means more than two) comments today!

Always missing you and still laughing about the photo booth...

We all love WendyB (but sometimes I'm a little frightened of her) Ssshhhh.. don't tell!

By the way, I've got beautiful pearl earrings to give away over at my blog. Check them out :)

Sarah Von Bargen said...

Thanks for the nod, lover! Also: there's mail headed your way. Consider yourself warned.

Didn't that Academichic post crack you up? I mean, my bike has gender, too, but we rarely argue about the broader implications ...

Academichic said...

Nerp is touched by the shout-out and he is oh-so-pleased with your support of his alternative gender-identification.

;)

Darling Nona, Thanks for the shout-out--and thanks to your readers for checking my site!
We miss you loads...

WendyB said...

Alya, if you're scared now, better not check out my knife-wielding picture today!

You're learning to sew? Fantastic! You're opening a door to a whole new world. You won't break the machine. Snap a few needles, sure. Everyone does. When in doubt, reset your tension or rethread the machine. Then let 'er rip!

Maura Tierney will play me in the Lifetime Movie of the Week of my life.
