Lord Whimsy:
In these times of depressing news of postponed elections and Executive scandal, I'm just glad there are people like Lord Whimsy. Not to be confused with Lord Whimsey (pdf). His charts are enlessly entertaining. His essays are funny and smart. I think we all could take a lesson from How to Become a Bon Vivant. But does he have a livejournal, you ask? Yes he does.

from the 50s to the 80s. Pretty awesome. They are all from an interesting looking exhibit on Japanese beauty/consumerism. You've got to check out bottom middle, its awesome.
