Middle of the night round up.

Nothing is really consistent in my life these days except that I am consistently up at hours of the night/morning when I used to be sleeping. I have this whole new space of time to peruse the google tubes (if I can see straight) and check in at sites that I normally followed by day.
Here is my MIDDLE OF NIGHT ROUND UP.

DESIGNY : Lonny Magazine

Since Domino left us earlier this year, there has certainly by a void. Word on the street was they folded due to advertising/money issues so a new (exclusively online) magazine is here to fill the void--Lonny! I think it is kind of weird not being able to hold a tangible item--take with you all week and gulp it up but I am happy to see a fun and colorful design/lifestyle magazine entering back into the world and think about the the savings in not printing. I also kind of do like the online viewing layout. It looks so crisp.
Lonny was also featured in Vanity Fair December and they are also on Facebook.

STYLEY: Flowers Uncut with Jeff Leathman on TLC


I have a serious (and sort of shameful) interest in Reality TV. I don't particularly like to watch TV ( sans a few shows) but there is something about Reality TV that sucks me in and the reason for that is an entirely different post on an entirely different blog. Heck, I don't even have a TV. But Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, Hell's Kitchen, Man vs. Wild etc etc. I do especially like ANY show that is in ANY way related to a creative process-- Project Runway, Cake Boss, dare I say, Americas Next Top Model and this Flowers Uncut looks right up my alley.

Style Me Pretty added had this sneak peak up.

FILMY: AVATAR Preview


We have been hearing about Avatar for what seems to be MONTHS! James Cameron's tour du force back into cinema. I saw the first preview and thought the colors were cool and it, for sure, looked more interesting than I wanted to admit. I have a love/hate relationship with his movies. but this lastest extended preview that explains the storyline a bit more has me totally fascinated and excited to jump onto James Cameron's ego wagon.

RANDOMY: Halloween 2009


There were some festive Halloween moments this year. My boy was a panda for his first Halloween and I went to my brother's restaurant party with the 80s theme which was not as difficult as perhaps it should have been because I pulled everything out of my own closet. Hmmmmmm. Any reason to use colored eye shadow I say!



That is all for now. I am off to bed before I have to get up again :) Enjoy!
