Last night I got bit by the consumerism bug (damn you, consumerism bug) and as we were leaving the house to do a little shopping there was a snap! sound and my windshield wipers broke. Lemme tell ya, my desire to buy myself some new shirts was strong because I had really poor visibility. Ridic. Today’s goal: get windshield wipers fixed. How about some links?

1. Ad-free blog icon: tell the world that you say NO to the use of corporate advertising, cause you’re cool like that! I did.

2. Do we need a new word for fag hag? This Gawker writer thinks so. So do I, but so far, none of the substitutes sound right.

3. Spoonflower: design your own fabric! YES! Finally.

4.”Chloe’s Scene“: come children, let’s flashback to 1994, when Chloe Sevigny was the It Girl.

5. Birchbox: for 10 bucks a month you get “deluxe” beauty samples mailed to your front door? I’m intrigued! I have a light hand when it comes to make-up, so a sample could last a loooong time…

6. No more dirty looks: all about safe, sustainable beauty.
