The Publishing Crush

The one thing about working in a small company is that there is a DISTINCT lack of RLOs (Random Lust Objects). My life is currently bereft of pretty people who it is appropriate to have inappropriate thoughts about. There was one in the building, then I saw him shuffle down the corridor, and *poof* he lost RLO status. What can I say? I am fickle. I do, however, have a Publishing Crush. He can’t have true RLO status, because he isn’t in my day-to-day life enough. And RLO implies just physical attraction, it doesn’t take into account personality.

So what makes a Publishing Crush? It’s more than just he looks fine. He also has an interesting take on the industry, and I like the way his mind works. I can imagine interesting debates about topics I am passionate about. I love him. I love his mind. I love his shoes.

So I have finally been sucked into the world of Pinterest and, as a result, I have found myself disappearing down the rabbit hole of design blogs. I say partly, because I have always read such blogs, I just haven’t been able to save/share my inspirations and lusts in such a convenient fashion before. All hail the mighty internet. It finds solutions for things I didn’t even know where a problem!

And oh, the pretty, shiny, lovely houses and design ideas… I so want my own house *whimper*. There is also a hefty amount of jewellery p0rn in there as well. I just can’t help myself.

Shana Logic has some of the CUTEST stuff in creation. Help me.

Haute Macabre – well, it’s all in the name really, isn’t it? Fashion and design for the grown up goth.

Young House LoveTHIS idea is genius. Wish I had known about it last year when I was in a picture hanging spree…

And two places that can ALWAYS be guaranteed to give rise to plenty of ideas/envy:
Design Milk
Domestic Sluttery

For those of you who aren’t a 30 year old blogger with the an urge to nest and a magpie gene, I give you some other things to ponder.

The the world in tweets is a wonderful representation of, well, the world in tweets at that moment.

Sadly, WhiskeyCat is no longer with us, and I find myself missing the fluffy little hellbeast. She was evil, but in the same way penguins are evil. It was part of her charm. Perhaps a trip to a Cat Cafe would help?

And lastly, the 50 years of Doctor Who you sort of wish we had actually had…
