halloween is almost here, people! i feel like i wear a costume every day (i'm dressed as/am impersonating myself, natch!), so i don't often feel the desire to go crazy with the costumes and halloween stuff, but YOU can! my 2007 halloween suggestions for you include:
-this senator larry craig mugshot mask (via boing boing)
-or perhaps this michael jackson fright mask (oooh!! SCARY!!) (also via boing boing)
-woof! meow! (via swissmiss, via whip up)
-or these DIY options with directions delivered via video, from threadbanger: fairy wings, a mummy, and a pirate (ARRR!)...
-ever fancied the idea of making your own street fashion website, so you can celebrate who and what is haute in your hometown? laura of tagtraeumerin runs tragfläche (leipzig, germany), and has recently made a post addressing that very subject, how to make a street fashion website. thanks, (again) laura!

make your own simple yet sassilicious hair do-hickies, with the help of rakia and her fashion tips, over at fly. they feature feathers! so like a little facinator, really!
zappos knows how to give good customer service, and then some. other retailers should take note, and follow suit.
according to a new book by dana thomas called deluxe: how luxury lost it's luster, luxury isn't that luxurious anymore. that italian bag you just threw down US$1200 for? it cost $100 to manufacture in china. if you're willing to pay that much for something so cheaply made, the joke's on you.
