Sunday Night Shoutouts

Welcome to another edition of Sunday Night Shoutouts, a post in which I gather some of the cool things I've come across on the internet lately to share with ya'll lovely people. Ready?

"If they tell you you're too big for a woman, tell them
you're just too big for your skin.
Tell them
a body just can't hold all this beauty.
Tell them
they only wish they had hills and valleys like the earth...
They will never see the life in your hands and you can never expect them to understand."
-Spoken-word artist Desdamona. Watch the full video here and see her myspace page here

Definately a step in the right direction. Though it's important to remember that we are not in a position to judge cultural practices often seen by Westerners as "oppressive" (i.e. the wearing of the hijab by Muslim women: it's something many women choose to wear!), Female Genital Mutilation is fundamentally dangerous to women's health.

And now for something a bit less heavy and more just pretty: Jon Schmidt's beautiful arrangement/mash-up of Love Story and Viva La Vida!

LOLcats meets Regretsy! My life is complete.

I want to make these. Om nom nom...

And now for something mildly fashion-related? Always been one of my favourite blogs

My plan for this upcoming week includes a six-page essay on feudalism, studying my face off to maintain my A+ in European Women's History, and finding a present for my work's Secret Santa! Sunday night will be the big pay-off: Staff party! Bellinis all around!

Don't forget to follow me on twitter, guys!

Love Always,
Amy

Everyone go buy Lou Lou Magazine because a friend of mine from middle school in the model in their huge editorial spread on pages 60-67! She is beautiful, and actually eats! Bonus!

Another reason i will never buy an Iphone

The amazing Anna, another old friend, featured me in a post about her favourite blogs this week. She's an intern at Worn Fashion Journal and is in the mag this month! (Found that out from Isabel.) I lubs yew too, Fitzy <3

My girl Taylor's hilarious SNL monologue song. Oh man, and the hilarious Shakira impression, too.

I forget how, but i somehow stubbled on Kenz's blog, All the Weigh. First of all, i didn't know people made weightloss blogs, and my first thought was "what a fabulous idea"! But the thing that struck me most was this girls beautiful attitude towards her life. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, read this blog and be inspired by Kenz's amazingly inspirational outlook.

I recently got back into wasting time playing this ridiculous game that my friends and i used to play when we were hungover in highschool for HOURS.

Make-up with unicorns on the packaging? Yes please. LimeCrime

Now if you'll excuse me, i need to write an essay on an 18th century novel I haven't read. Wish me luck. Seriously.

Love Always,
Amy
