My New Car

How cool is this cubist car?


I wonder what it runs on. Do you think I could get it in blue?

Pretty in Pink

Pink Size 8 Jelly Shoes at Target: $2.50


Re-living the summer I was eight years old: priceless

More about the inexplicable resurgence of 80's fashions soon. Probably. I'm hoping I can find some embarrassing (and fashionable!) photos of myself from that era.

Park-itecture

World-renowned architect Frank Gehry will be designing a new playground in lower Manhattan. Wow! That kind of makes my local playground seem primitive and crappy. But wait, it just got a fresh coating of woodchips!

Seriously, I think this is going to be really fabulous and I can't wait to see photos of the completed project. As I recall, when Frank Gehry designed the Springfield cultural center, he couldn't keep the skateboarders away, so he seems like a logical choice for playground design (incidentally, Gehry played himself in that episode).


I imagine the slide will look something like this:

Or possibly this:
