Bits & Pieces: March 13, 2010

Be still, my heart! The Pioneer Woman is holding a contest for the best cat photos. It’s pretty much the best thing I’ve seen online all week… if you are a cat lover like me, you’ll want to check out these photos. And these. And these and these. I wish I had some better photos to submit of Scout & Pep!

I love everything about this whimsical and playful wedding! From the Tim Walker-esque parade, to the colors (magenta and navy), to the stage, to the vintage photo booth. I am so jealous. But mine will be super fabulous, too.

The way men see colors vs. the way women see color. Hilarious… and true!

A Mystery Science Theatre 3000 haiku. I recently fell in love with this show thanks to Julian, though my Dad has been a fan since the beginning of time.

Leave it to BestWeekEver.tv writer Michelle Collins to provide the most hilarious Oscar awards recap, ever. She said all the things us less-witty-people wanted to say.

How to Organize Huge Copywriting Projects: A cute, clever and believe it or not, practical way to organize your data & thoughts before jumping into a big copywriting project. I love the image of index cards and clothespins.

OH EM GEE – if you haven’t laughed yet today, take a look at these squirrels playing astronaut with coconuts on their heads. Now close your eyes and be thankful that such things exist. There are no words.

5 Rules For A Better Life: I love this! Among my faves: “Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about” and “Life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum.”

A 26 Gigapixel panorama of Paris. Thankfully, I’ll be able to explore the city on foot in exactly two months from today, but if you aren’t so lucky, feast your eyes on all 2,346 of these photos, which add up to a high-resolution panoramic view of Paris.

The Sex and the City Guide to Blogging: As Julie Roads points out, if SATC premiered in 2010, Carrie would have been a blogger. This article takes dating advice dished out by Ms. Bradshaw and applies it to the current blogging industry. Not nearly as silly as it sounds – read it!

The cutest robot I have ever seen, in my entire life. Made out of a matchbox and other recycled items. A-dorable!

L’Oreal has a new ammonia-free hair dye system called INOA. Supposedly, it allows you to dye your hair without all the yucky damaging side effects. It does cost about 15% more, and is being tested in about 200 salons. I’d love to see how this pans out. I am obsessed with pastel hair right now.

How To Make Homemade Bubble Bath – a nice little tutorial! Way cheaper than you’d think.

This dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs – at $600, it’s a bit out of my price range, but I love it so. When will I learn to sew?

- Too funny.

How have I never seen this video? It is supremely incredible – look at those sequins and trailing lights! Spectacular!
