In South Korea, plastic surgery is widely accepted and as a result it kind of looks like everyone is going to the same plastic surgeon. These are this year’s Miss Korea contestants and the resemblance between all of them is uncanny. I don’t know what I would think if this ever became the norm over here in the states. While these women are all gorgeous, viewing this photo makes me appreciate the kind of diversity that I have been surrounded by throughout my life.

I love this comic that was shared on Doobybrain. What a great reminder of how quickly life goes by and how standardized decisions can be. It’s kind of a sad truth, but this is the truth for so many people.
I have so much admiration for people that can pick up and leave – move away from their home and into a new city. That ish is hard; not that I would know, but … going through college and meeting people in my workplaces, I’ve realized that pretty much everyone around me has done it. Except me. I’ve also decided that someday it will be me. I think about my future – about who will become my new circle of friends, how I will adapt to the weather, but most of all how this will change my style.
Even in the last six months my style has completely changed! From Space Girl to working professional. Adult lyfe. What I would give to be Space Girl once again. The magazines will tell you that it’s the trends that change your style, but I believe that it’s the experience.
Today, Sartorialist Scott Schuman posted on his blog this amazing transformation of Kara. The first photograph was when Kara was very new to the city and the second is today – one year after.
and the official end to summer! Sad day, I know. I hope all of you have been having a wonderful weekend so far. Later on this week, probably tomorrow – I’ll be posting my 5 favorite things from this past weekend, but for now I”m getting ready for my annual tradition of attending Bumbershoot, Seattle’s favorite music festival near the Space Needle. It’s about to be a lovely day with little Steph and catching M83, Passion Pit, Hey Marseilles, and a few others.
and now I’m going to leave you with this rad picture of an astronaut in an Apple store.

Google goes to great lengths to protect all of us from inappropriate content on the web. I don’t know about all of you, but I am grateful that I don’t have to hold my breath when making a search on Google or YouTube for fear that I might come across something that will give me nightmares forever. Believe it or not, there is highly inappropriate content being spread across the web at all times including child pornography, fetishes, and intense violence or death. Why these things exist is beyond me, but I’m glad I don’t have to see it.
In order to make sure that we don’t accidentally stumble across these things, Google hires contractors to monitor the web content. Hooray. The bummer about this is that even though these contractors are doing a job that no one wants, Google refuses to hire them on as full-time employees and fails to provide them with the benefits needed to help support them when they are faced with psychological issues stemming from this position.
I found this interview with one former Google contractor interesting because even in this day and age, there is still a job for everything. There are glamorous jobs that everyone wants, but there are also jobs that no one wants, but still have to get done and it is these people that are constantly overlooked. To all of you, thank you for keeping us safe and thank you for shielding us from the dark side of human nature that exists.

I kind of love this cover of Cher Lloyd’s and the Jackson 5′s “Want You Back.”

I could not contain my giggles watching this.
But secretly not so secretly, I cannot wait to see them at Bumbershoot this year.
This reminds me of Evan J.

And this, readers, is what we like to call karma.
On April 1st, 2012, a very rude, very entitled little girl decided to sit in the front row of a New York City stand up comedy open mic.
She proceeded to yell out, heckle, disrupt, make rude gestures, and just in general be a pain and a nuisance to all of the performers on stage.
As comics, we have all dealt with audience members like this. Sadly, it has become a part of the business. But you know what the worst part was?
She was also a self-proclaimed “comedian.”
And when it came her turn to take the stage, the hellfire of all the comics she disrupted earlier reigned down upon her.

Wowowow I’ve never heard a Superbass cover like this before. 17-year old Nicole has really created something out of it and she’s just so darn cute! It’s pretty much impossible to not jam along with it.
