[A GIRL CAN DREAM] Richard Branson's Limited Edition Getaways

Sir Richard Branson, the smarmy dickhead who has more money than God, has created seven "Limited Edition" getaways in the Virgin Islands, Morocco, Switzerland, London, South Africa, Mallorca, and London for himself, and row he's renting them out. 

We're talking private islands and shit.  I have to believe that their rates are a leeeeettle bit more than the Holiday Inn Express near the Newark Airport, so I won't be able to partake. 

BUT, you can always go there in your dreams.  Ah, yes, my dreams: where my life isn't a bottomless pit of muck and despair.

[BITCH-SPIRATION] DOUCHEY CO-WORKER YOU HATE BUT HAVE TO PRETEND TO LIKE

You guys have "inspiration boards" and mood boards," but that ain't my thang. Here at Design Blahg, we've got "Bitch-spiration boards." Here's what I'm bitch-spired by today: DOUCHEY CO-WORKER YOU HATE BUT HAVE TO PRETEND TO LIKE

We’ve all got ‘em.  They’re constantly talking, and whether or not you’re actually listening (you’ve got your headphones on for Christ’s sake!), it doesn’t matter to them. 

When they’re not guilting you into coming out after work for happy hour, they’re dragging you into the bathroom to tell you some benign bit of gossip that you don’t care about. They send high priority all staff emails about deeply personal things that should NEVER be shared, like, ever, in the history of the world. 

If you're thinking, "This isn't me, I'm not an asshole like that"—GOOD.  But if you have aspirations to be someone out of Office Space, get to your nearest generic supply store and pick up some of this shit...

[I'M OBSESSED] Dark Bathrooms

Patrick Cline for Lonny MagI found this image in the latest issue of Lonny Mag, and I've basically been jerking off to it ever since.

I. CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH.

If someone in the NYC metropolitan area can immeds turn my stupid bathroom into this moody, gorgeous, sex-on-a-stick bathroom, please get in touch with me pronto. I don't care how much it costs...I'll just give you my bank account number and we can talk deets later.

Duh, this place belongs to some adorbs gay couple with impeccable taste, who live in the W. Village with a froofy little dog. I'm pretty sure we should all be besties (including our pups).

So yeah...dark bathrooms. TOTALLY feelin it.
