“Day one beauty: the least likely to marry [women] 1.’s Own good, looks handsome. (2) skills, higher pay. 3 house and a car, 4 independent living ability. Parents healthy, no sense of crisis. 5 like a romantic, looking forward to the legend. 6 perfectionist, lips that look feel, in fact, a man demanding. 7 house women love to do after work. 8 does not deliberately close communication with the opposite sex. 9 is biased to men. 10 appearance of indifference, weak heart.”

- Chinese Pinterest (markpic.com) + Google Translate is endlessly fascinating (via cacioppo)

Wow. Somehow Chinese Pinterest is more even more wedding obsessed then the real thing!!! There’s also a lot of travel imagery, and more T&A than i would have expected (there’s not that much, but it’s definitely there). I am a little bummed that there isn’t as much of the baby crap that dominates real Pinterest, because it would be neat to see the aspirational lifestyle for toddlers in China looks like these days.

The irony with blog posting is that the busier you are, the more you have to share… But, the busier you are, that’s less time you actually have to post all that good stuff. Well I’m back to the blog, from a slew of shoots, an epic two week trip to Japan, and endless work on the backyard to get…

phoebe connelly: In defense of Pinterest :

phoebedoris:

I don’t use Pinterest. I will even admit to having mocked it when I first learned about the service. But, Internet, we need to lay off the service. It’s not Tumblr. It’s not Delicious (or, my preferred, Pinboard). It’s a visual bookmarking service that values content that can be presented via the…
