2009 Crop Circle Season Begins

The first crop circle of the 2009 season was reported on April 19, according to Crop Circle Connector. It appeared in a field of rapeseed (a.k.a. canola in America).

It reminds me of a symbol commonly used to designate Internet podcasts, such as this logo for Disneyland™ podcasts.

I believe it to be man-made because in two photos I can see lines defining quadrants in the circle running through the center disc, and one line (running left-to-right in the top image) is slightly off-center.

Playing with Barbies at colette

I’m not surprised to find myself still on this topic. When I was a kid my elaborate Barbie fantasies spread across my whole room and took days to play out.

Super-haute fashion boutique colette in Paris, France plays like I do: their entire first floor has been realized as a larger-than-life Barbie shop for the month of March.

 
“Barbie celebrates her 50th birthday at colette,
March 9th-28th!

 

Barbie embodies glamour, fashion and femininity
for over 5 decades.

 

She naturally settles down at colette for her birthday,

 

where designers make theirs her environment.”

 

In the gallery, enjoy the “Barbie and Ken” exhibition
by Karl Lagerfeld.

There, I think I’ve got it out of my system. Want more Barbie? See Yahoo’s slideshow of the Real Malibu Beach House, and their March 9 party where (if you believe the pictures) maybe 6 people showed up. That’s not bad or anything, it’s about the attendance level of my Barbie events.

I hope more made it to Party Barbie colette last night. I wasn’t there, even in spirit, because it conflicted with the World of Noise radio show/chat party… it was a great one. If you missed it, write for access to the archives or get on Doug’s announcement mailing list.

Happy 2009

May 2009 be a year we look back on with pride. May Peace be Realized.

Happy New Year!
