Well, after more than 3Â½ years here at Jessie Bluejay, it's time to move on... <img src="/wp-content/images/newer/champ-manager.png" class="centered"/> To <a href="http://champagnemanagement.com/">Champagne Management</a>! I've been meaning to redesign the site forever. The recent spam attack finally instigated the change. I guess spammers are good for something. Noah is diligently working on all the techy stuff, but we're still working out the kinks on the new site. Please be patient and thanks for reading!!! I intend to leave this site up so the archives will still be accessible. If you have any questions, you'll have to take it up with the <a href="http://champagnemanagement.com/">Champagne Management</a>!

The comments are shut down for now. Spam was getting through and I haven't been able to figure out how to stop it. Hopefully they'll be back up soon, but I think I'll need to make some major changes in the near future. Sorry!

I solved the bulk of my facebook issues this morning by installing <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/44459">Facebook Purity</a>. It's a Greasemonkey script that removes all of the notifications from applications contributed by external developers. This means that once it's installed you will never get the updates about the quizzes your friends took, their stripper names, or any of that stuff. You're left with the facebook basics: status updates, links, photos, wall posts, notes, and so on. It works like an absolute dream (for Firefox users). I'm totally facebook pure now.

Manish Arora is definitely one of my favorite designers. He's right up there with <a href="http://jessie.bluejay-nest.com/wordpress/?p=989">Jean-Charles de Castelbajac</a> and <a href="http://jessie.bluejay-nest.com/wordpress/?p=981">Ã*gatha Ruiz de la Prada</a>. Like them, his collections are consistently imaginative, funny, and strange. If Bollywood ever started to make sci fi movies (dare to frickin' dream!!!), Manish would be the ideal costumer. He's <a href="http://jessie.bluejay-nest.com/wordpress/?p=330">always</a> combined the color and drama of Hindi film with the otherworldly and alien. His <a href="http://content.coutorture.com/2905835">Fall 2009 collection</a> is full of his usual wonderful weirdness. I love these kitty cocktail dresses: <img src="/wp-content/images/newer/arora-cats.jpg" class="centered"/> Yep, that's Simba. My favorite pieces in the collection are these surreally patterned dresses: <img src="/wp-content/images/newer/arora-patterns.jpg" class="centered"/> The patterns feature chimeric animals like winged dolphins and cheetah-bunnies in hallucinatory landscapes. You absolutely have to see the patterns up close to appreciate them. Check out these enormous image files of the <a href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/191/1913634/11_2009/85317726_10.jpg">dress on the left</a> and the <a href="http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/191/1913634/11_2009/85317704_10.jpg">one on the right</a>. Here's a detail of the beautiful pink eagle-giraffe beasts from the skirt on the dress on the right: <img src="/wp-content/images/newer/arora-detail.jpg" class="centered"/> I want a huge scarf made from this material. I also wouldn't mind a coat made from the hide of one of those eagle-giraffes.
