Live Stylishly: 5 May 2009


  • Watch more Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert! You might as well get your news in an enjoyable way.
  • Grab a friend and dress as twins (for a party? Day? Week? Month?)
  • Wear multiple belts.
  • Write everything in iambic pentameter.
  • Create a portrait of a friend and give it to them. No drawing skills? Get creative! Draw in stick figures, add explanatory text, make it abstract, collage, make it an extreme close-up…get in touch with your artsy fartsy side.
  • Skip the makeup.
  • Make a commitment to dancing every day (even if it’s just in the privacy of your room).
  • Visit Urban Prankster and get inspired to do some trickery yourself!
  • Listen to Weird Al Yankovic.
  • Make a point of always carrying a small toy in your purse or pocket. It prevents boredom and is a great conversation starter.
  • Two words: fake blood.

Live Stylishly: 12 April 2009

  • Load up on discounted Easter candy tomorrow. (Especially Peeps. They’re fun to microwave and taste even better stale!)
  • Wear war paint.
  • Incorporate a toy into tomorrow’s outfit.
  • Memorize raps. Bust them out at inappropriate times.
  • Ask complete strangers if you can take their picture. If they ask why, tell them you’re an artist. (Inspired by this photo. I was taking photographs and this guy saw my camera and asked me to take one of him. Sadly, I couldn’t zoom in any closer. It still made me smile.)
  • Try your hand at making YouTube Poop with your favorite video footage.
  • Get a pashmina or big shawl, if you don’t already have one. Some outfits just don’t go with a fitted cardigan or sweatshirt. (Trust me…I was in this situation yesterday.) The bigger the better, so you can share it and snuggle with chilly friends!
  • Talk in a fake accent.
  • Carry chalk around. Write temporary, cryptic messages in public places.

Live Stylishly: 3 March 2009

  • Paint a wall of your room. Make it something exciting; maybe magnetic or chalkboard paint. If you’re not allowed, cover a wall in fabric of your choice instead.
  • Have a music party. Each guest must bring 2-5 songs to share (any genre) on a USB drive or CD. Put them all together in a playlist, put it on shuffle, and see where the music takes you!
  • Dress as a high school stereotype for a day. Extra points if it’s a stereotype as which you were never categorized.
  • Open an old box from your basement/attic/closet/garage/whatever. Reclaim the items inside—and if they’re not useful, get rid of them! Even dealing with just a bit of clutter feels good.
  • Get yourself a drop spindle and learn how to spin your own yarn. Use it for your own crafts or gift it to knitty friends.
  • Go shopping, but don’t bring any money. Allow yourself to be inspired by what you see.
  • Replace plain light bulbs in public spaces with colored ones.
