Harajuku Lovers Coffret Solids



Darling! And so yummy smelling! My fave is "G" which smells very tropical & beachy. :)

$60.00 @ Nordstrom

From Nordstrom.com:
Five new fragrances, each with their own scent and style. Inspired by the electric street scene of the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo, the Harajuku Lovers collection captures the lyrics and iconography from Gwen Stefani’s albums. A fatal attraction to cuteness.

Love is super cute and frilly; a floral bouquet. Lil’ Angel is sassy and sexy; a citrus floral. Music is tough with attitude; a fruity floral. Baby is girly and sweet; a powdery floral. G is the leader of the pack! A fruity gourmand.

* Set includes all five girls in solid perfume compacts.
* By Harajuku Lovers.

Green Day + Butch Vig

I'm not too crazy about Butch Vig producing the new Green Day record, but at least my favorite band is finally back in the studio! It's been much too much too long since a new Green Day record (I love 'em but Foxboro Hot Tubs doesn't count IMO). But Butch Vig? I like Garbage & all, but I dunno.... I hope their long time producer, Rob Cavallo, still has a role SOMEwhere on this new record....

Green Day in studio with Nirvana producer
By Jonathan Cohen
Tue Oct 14, 8:17 PM ET

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Confirming news that Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson let slip recently on "The Carson Daly Show," Green Day is in the studio with veteran producer Butch Vig working on the follow-up to 2004's "American Idiot."

In a video posted over the weekend on YouTube, the band is seen in the control room as the camera pans over to Vig, who smiles and extends his middle finger. Instrumental bits of two new songs are heard in the background.

Vig is best known for his work on Nirvana's "Nevermind" but has also logged time behind the boards with Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, in addition to his musician role in Garbage. Of late, he has produced albums from Jimmy Eat World, Against Me! and Tad.

Green Day worked with producer Rob Cavallo on "American Idiot," a Grammy-winning smash that has sold 5.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The group reappeared this spring masquerading as the band Foxboro Hot Tubs, releasing an album and playing a handful of small club shows. The upcoming Green Day album, as-yet-untitled, is expected next year via Warner Bros.

Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain



It doesn't get much cuter than this!!! And they're only $8.99 @ ThinkGeek.com!

From ThinkGeek.com:
Each Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain has three beans. The end beans are small and immature. The middle bean, however, has one of 12 random faces printed on it. Why? We don't know, but there is nothing like the smile it puts on your face. And the beans are connected to some sort of elastic band, so they pop back in to be popped again as many times as you want. It sounds silly, but trust us, these things are highly addictive. They are also a great way to keep your fingers busy during boring meetings and your mood positive - because no one can frown when their edamame smiles.
