Go 'head girl, go 'head, get down

Dead set, the library is such a good place for all sorts of fabulous things, even stuff you wouldn't expect. For pete's sake, if you're at all interested in something, check your library before you go shelling out for it, unless you desperately want it on your bookshelf for a million years. Here's a library find that's utterly lit my wick in the last week - the fabulous Graffiti woman by Nicholas Ganz. Oh, such beautiful, killer artwork - and all of it by the often under-rated lady writer. Check out the portfolio of Faith47 (*sigh*) and Koralie (who gives you several different style options for viewing her pages) and Mademoiselle Kat and Sherm. Dreamy, just dreamy. Anyone who doesn't love this work must have had their eyes poked out of their head.

Speaking of divine, the utterly gorgeous Paula Jane is about to become a mama in coming weeks (so exciting), and she's quite keen to get up a cross-stitch that says Babies suck. And here's the place to get it! Subversive Cross-stitch have all kindsa good cross-stitch sampler patterns, among my favourites: Don't make me cut you; Homo sweet homo and Do not fuck with me. Oh, such good stuff.

And even better? Tomorrow is a public holiday: and I'm planning our next big vegan potluck dinner. Can't wait, it's been too long since the last social chow-down.

My dear Chelle ... how sad to have missed you this last visit to Ad-town. I was a bit hopeless. And speaking of book-finds I wondered if you have seen this: http://veganfreak.net/ ... it's a book AND a website. Cutting edge of the information economy!
