Gemma Correll. Depressing. Although I will admit to making what could be referred to as a "sexy jellyfish" costume during college.

ENTERTAINMENT-ISH
Breaking Bad stars reveal which props they kept (or stole) / baby Walter White / "I’ve reached a point in my life where my Truman Show boat has hit the painting" - obviously, there are more important things in this interview to focus on, but I love that Kanye drops a Truman Burbank (and Vanellope Von Schweetz) reference. / I specifically remember seeing Ann's Steven Alan floral top during an episode, recognizing it and thinking - "She wouldn't be wearing that." The wardrobe department went another (less-realistic) way than the costume designer for The Office did, because I don't think that The Office ever veered off into having Erin, Pam or even Kelly wear expensive shit. Or maybe they did and I just don't spend as much time lurking on their wardrobe-source store websites as I do with Madewell, Anthropologie, Steven Alan and the like... anyway. / I really enjoy the new Mickey Mouse shorts / I will eventually watch this and this if they actually become series / behind the scenes photos from Girl, Interrupted / a Freaks and Geeks video game
ETC.
Rachel's "Biz Ladies Profile" on Design*Sponge / what a beautiful, beautiful field / an interview with Cathy Olmedillas of Anorak Magazine / thisissand / custom dog treat cookie cutters / now I want to visit Lisbon / Jane Curtain's bitchface / of course he did / the cutest cat doughnuts

it’s not so much a question of whether something is good or not good. It’s more about whether I feel like it fits with the other work I’m curating for the site. It’s like making a mix tape. If the theme of my mix tape is “90s west coast rap” I’m not gonna put a Wu-Tang song on it. By not including Wu-Tang I’m not saying they aren’t good, it just doesn’t fit with the theme of that particular mix.That's also why so few blogs pull off sponsored content successfully or seamlessly - those sponsored posts just don't fit into their "mix". Sometimes so glaringly it's like you popped a Doris Day song onto that "90s west coast rap mix".
