Baby, baby, I've been discernin'-a

We just had a TORNADO WARNING! Yes, folks. A funnel cloud was startin' somethin' somewhere around here. I have to say I saw it coming. The sky looked a foul shade of vomit and darkness a bit before we heard the sirens.

One good thing that came out of the experience was that I happened across this Etsy gem.



















Don't worry. It's only TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS. And I totally submitted it to my favorite site, Regretsy. I hope it makes it onto the site!



This isn't really art-related, but this Tumblr, Lesbians who look like Justin Bieber (and also other folks who just happen to look like him too), has been CRACKING me up.

Pahahahahaha!


































That one is quite the gem. Now let me clarify: I only recently gave enough of a shit to even discover who this kid was, and I have repeatedly made the mistake of listening to several of his songs on Youtube. Each and every time I feel dirty, not because I'm attracted to him, but because I feel like I'm supposed to be and there is a TWELVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD on screen acting like he's some clown down the street at Rick's bar, smarming it up for the ladies. Disturbing much?

I mean, WHO IS THIS KID??


































Pull up your pants, son.


I really dig these sunglasses I saw on Rubio's tumblr.






























I like a lot of stuff from Opening Ceremony, actually. Namely this jumper:






























and this dude's hoodie:



































Well, that's all for today folks. It's a weird day.

(I'm curious if my blog will get more hits now that I've mentioned JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTIN BIEBER!

Christening - Where's the Champagne? And the boat?

Ahoy! This is a preliminary post until I feel motivated enough to customize the look and feel of this site and settle on a format. As of now, I'm thinking "In Other Skies" will be primarily design-based, focusing on any and all artistic and design-related things, including my opinions, cheap deals, and who knows what else. It will most likely contain round-ups of things I find on other blogs. Sounds like just about every other design blog out there, huh? Well, I'm hoping this will be something a little more unique - something quirky, with my own spin on things. I like cute and pretty things as much as the next girl (actually, I probably don't) but expect to see things on here with a bit of an edge, both visually and textually. We'll see how this turns out. I'll start off broad and hopefully narrow things down a bit.

Oh, and by the way, did I mention I plan to update this semi-regularly? (Yeah, right.)

Please help me in my efforts to make this a successful blog - though I am well aware the bulk of that responsibility lies on me. Comment, link me, contact me, do anything! Let's make this into something fantastic!
