By now, you’ve heard of Instagram’s ridiculous new ToS they’re bringing in on Jan 16th. As a industry professional, I cannot allow my work to be used uncompensated, among other things. Check out here what model Coco Rocha has to say. Personally, I’ve quit already, and asked my collaborators and clients to take down any work I still own copyrights to. It’s a huge pain in the ass, thanks Insta-goons. … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. I wanted to explain why I don’t use Vegetable/seed/grain oils, as I’ve been asked and flamed a bit for using butter. I just KNOW this post is going to cause some argument. But this is my scientifically researched, educated opinion on this. Mainstream media is started to come around to the fact that it’s not FAT that makes you fat, it’s all the sugar we’ve been shovelling down. Firstly, I don’t think the human body … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. I’ve been thinking, I have all these random things I do when I’m unhappy, or pissed off that really help in cheering me up. Some of them are random, but I thought I’d share. I know Mondays can suck, but here’s some fun stuff that can help lift you out of the darkness. 1. Talk to your cat. (Or dog, or bird, or bearded lizard…your get the point.) Chairman chirruping and meowing back at me like a conversation never fails to make … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens. Today i’m feeling ranty. Why? Because i’m sick of being talked down to by (extremist) religious people. Don’t get me wrong, not all religious people are annoying. Just like how not all atheists are annoying. But as you may have noticed, the stupid ones of ANY sort of belief are the most loud, and proud about it. This is not directed at anyone in particular, but I bet … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens.  Yesterday I saw a wonderful post about how (the author’s) body type affects where she shops. Obviously to some extent this applies to everyone, but how? Let’s look at this from my personal experience. I hate shopping for clothing. I really, really do. It’s not even a size thing any more, now that I’ve gone down a few sizes. To start off with, i’m dramatically taller than average, which I’ve mentioned before. 5’11 to be exact, and … Continue reading →

Hey Strangekittens! Did you have a good Earth Day weekend? Mine was pretty chill. I played WAY too much TERA Online though!

Yesterday was Earth Day, so I thought i’d pick up some earthy-links to share this week.

Nail Art With Real Leaves (And other ideas) This is a pretty cool idea. You’d have to find something that wouldn’t wilt when you stuck it on/used a topcoat, though. Or maybe that would look cool? Who knows, I might try it.

10 Eco-friendly Fashion Brands  ’Nuff said. Gotta have more natural brands around.

Nick Knight Kitten and Couture Photoshoot  Sorry dude, I’m so stealing this idea.

10 Uses of Google Earth That Have Made Positive Impacts on the World These are all such amazing ideas.
