Friday Links for 04.30.10

• A Wild Nobility: An Adam Ant Exclusive By Simon Price Propbably the best interview I've ever read. Whether you are a fan of Adam Ant or not (you should be) this is still highly entertaining.

• Storque Spotlight: Shop Red Leaf I love this Etsy shop and I love this interview just as much. Nice in-depth account of what it's like having an Etsy business as your full-time job.

• Tim Gunn critiques superhero costumes I will watch anything with Tim Gunn in it, I think. There's a part 2 coming soon, too! I don't know if I could "own" anything with a boob window, though.

• Floral wallpaper "blooms" when the heat is on. I want this! There needs to be more home decor this rad.

• How to write search-friendly product descriptions Might be helpful to a lot of my readers, since many of you are Etsy sellers.

• Cats and Pizza This needs no introduction...

• What type are you? This short video personality test not only tells you your personality type but also your type, by which I mean your font. I'm Marina Script! Which one are you?

Friday Links for 04.09.10

This week I bring you 100% goofy links, both new and from the vault. Because, why not?

• Cat Shirts I found one of these on eBay, forgot the link, and then stumbled upon this gem. I wish there were more, though! Also great if you like bad puns.

• Kermit Bale I never get sick of this extended comparison between Kermit the Frog and Christian Bale.

• Garfield Randomizer A great way to kill time.

• Cast and Crew of Mad Men sing "Bye Bye Birdie" Need I say more?

Friday Links for 04.02.10

• Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock The item in Think Geek's "April Fool's Stuff" that I'd most like to own. And the Tauntaun sleeping bag.

• Sketchy Easter Bunnies With Dogs What's a major holiday without creepy costumes scaring small creatures?

• Some Enchanted Morning My Twitter friends have already seen this, but why are deer so friggin cute? They get along with pretty much every animal one would have as a pet. Prince Purrsalot and Lord Kissyface, hahaha.

Friday Links for 03.26.10

• They are reissuing The Babysitters Club books And this is a really interesting editorial stating why it's important that they do get reissued.

• Spring Cleaning: Detox Your Space There's a million articles about cleaning out your closet, but this one had me at "What fashion enthusiast wouldn't lust over a closet that could pass as a little boutique?"

• Spool No. 72 I am lusting after all these delicate Spring items, especially the tops, even though I can't afford them. Story of my life, though. Swoon.

• "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" Worth it just to see Patton Oswalt as Dr Demento.

• DYI Tutorial: Make Your Own Kraft Packages A must read for anyone who likes sending post that's anything but ordinary!

• Do You Alter Vintage? Jennine at The Coveted asks, and defends, her answer to this question. I, too, am torn and can see both sides. I hem a lot of garments, sometimes take them in, but have yet to do a "dramatic" rehaul. I'm really curious of everyone's opinions on this. Please share!

Friday Links for 03.19.10

• That Mitchell and Webb Look, "Cheesoid" Since I finished Peep Show I started watching That Mitchell and Webb look cos I can't get enough of those boys. Last night I saw this skit and I've watched it 4 more times since then. I will almost always laugh at a robot joke, too. PET-RIL.

• Kotex Gets Real Kotex has a new line of menstrual products, and a new self-ribbing ad campaign to go along with it. I can dig it.

• AV Club's LOST reviews If you're a LOSTie, these are the best discussions of the episodes on the web IMO.

• Etsy's Tips and Tricks for writing an engaging profile I like how it compares talking up you and your shop to chatting at the register. A must-read for any Etsy shop owner!

• American Apparel Nail Polish I'm a bit iffy when it comes to AA, but these colours look really really good! And the price isn't too bad either, especially when you buy a 3 pack. Found on Twitch Vintage's blog.

Here are your Friday links, ladles and jellyspoons. I'm gonna try to start doing this weekly! Yay!

• Vintage Arizona Flickr Pool Makes me nostalgic for Arizona, even though I've never been there before. Maybe in a past life? From Nika Rebekah.
