Posts on GDG will resume soon… or more like, eventually. Travel and awesome weather are making it less appealing to be indoors, putting in more time than I need to at my laptop. No surprise there. I love this hobby of mine, but it’s so much more satisfying when it’s cold and grey outside — even better when it’s snowing! Wherever you are, I hope that you’re seeing more of the sun, too. Summer will be over before we know it…
Fire In Your New Shoes by Kaskade feat. Dragonette
San Fran’s Kaskade teamed up with Toronto home girl Martina Sorbara of Dragonette for this song. It instantly made my Summer of ‘10 soundtrack. The video’s pretty hot, too. Stiletto sparks included! Also, for obvious reasons, I’m lovin’ the text on this t-shirt. “Buttons are busted, we’re decorated… I’m going Rococo with sequins in the Summer…” Sign me up, ‘Tina.

Wow. This is incredible!
It’s been an awesome few weeks and I’m feeling inspired, creative and fiercely motivated. Loving my Summer of ‘10 so far. Hope that you are, too!

Just a kind note to my regular readers that GDG will be on hiatus for the next few weeks.
I’ll be back again in full force at the end of July and I’m looking forward to it, as I already have a back log of green design finds that I haven’t had the time to write about [I can only imagine what another 4 to 5 weeks added to my exploding inbox will do!].
In the mean time, whether you’re new to this site or a long-time reader, don’t forget to explore GDG by using the Tags feature. If browsing through a collage of pretty pictures is more your thing, you’ll probably love the Visual Archive. Whichever method you choose, you’ll find hundreds of posts on Green Design Girl [since January of ‘08!], just waiting to be discovered. Hope that you enjoy them as much as I have, sharing them with you.
A fabulous Summer to you all!

I’m working with colours today and remembered Paper Source’s COLORSCOPE, which I have fun referring to every so often. I’d say that I’m a fuchsia girl, with a dash of red thrown in. Also, they’re both colours that I love and that I’m drawn to, so the descriptions and colour matchings seem to make sense in this case. I’m fascinated by colour-personality analyses, colour theories and colour trend predictions, though I realize that there are a gazillion interpretations out there…
What are your colours?
Your Love Is Like Petrol by Client [Auto-Auto Remix]
Client and Depeche Mode have been my soundtrack today. I’ve been a fan of Client’s London ladies since their early myspace days in ‘05, when I ordered their first EP and they surprised me by adding an awesome t-shirt, posters and a bunch of little Client goodies — all packaged themselves and accompanied by a handwritten letter. Very DIY.
They’ve gone through quite a few member changes, and they’re no longer on Andy Fletcher’s [of Depeche Mode] record label, but they’ve moved on to Metropolis and their founding members, “Clients A + B” [the original flight attendant fetishists], are still on board. I remember jumping off the sofa last year, when I heard Your Love Is Like Petrol on the final season of The L Word. The show’s soundtrack features the original version.

Naturally, this had to be the follow up to my last post. Also? I totally love it.
