Conde Nast you make bad choices

First Domino. Now Lucky.
When I picked up the latest copy of Lucky I noted that there was something off about it besides the extreme lack of advertising. The copy had that slightly too breezy tone, punctuated with lots of " royal we" edicts -- sort of hearkening back to 50's teen mags that tell you how to make boys like you. The thing about that is the soul disappears out of it, I can't recognize a real person in all that chatter.
A flip to the editor's page - No Kim! To the back page - No Andrea! And the rest of the magazine wasn't much of an improvement.  I see they are now targeting teens  with clothes that I wouldn't have worn at that age much less now. In an issue that is supposed to show how to dress for work? Disassociated.

To be fair I did note that they brought back some home shopping.
I was therefore extremely happy to find I want to be her! Andrea Linnet is back with a blog that is sort of the essence of Lucky as it was. I hope it is HUGELY successful, paving the way for fashion online editorial like Lonny did for home decor and I hope that Conde Nast goes into Chapter 11. Or minimally whoever decided to axe Domino and rip the soul out of Lucky gets the heave ho.

Love these air plants!

Resources for Busts

If you LOVE the pottery barn version, I am all for getting it, I think it is so cool and would be perfect in your bathroom! However, I am sure you knew I would look for other options.  Below is a plain white plaster option from some guy in Brooklyn, a bust of Venus, the goddess of love (couldn't link to it directly, it is the large Venus 20")

Plaster Galaxy
 And I found one on Etsy too, but she is only 12 inches tall.

And there are more at Statue.com. This one I thought was very pretty.
