Not-So-Basic Black Nails
Gorgeous blogger Princess Poochie recently shared a photo of a cool manicure. I immediately sent the photo to celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival.

OMG This Tiny Unicorn Is Totes Gonna Ruin My Dress
I love this 16th-century painting by Raphael. The young lady seems to be throwing someone the side-eye. I bet she’s looking at the person who gave her that tiny unicorn to hold.

What Wendy Wore: Doing the Taliban Shuffle, Pantless
