recent pins

I have been having a lot of fun with Pinterest lately. There is no end to the interesting images one can find, past and present:

Vintage bridal display in department store window

Anatomical Barbie

Hercules stool

Laurie/Teddy paper doll

This chair makes me think of a 3D Magritte

Some of my favorite people are friends to felines. Here's some fun pix from one of my Pinterest boards, Cat People.

have you tried pinterest yet?

As stated on the site,

"Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests."

Basically, Pinterest is a collection space. You can collect and share all sorts of things — beautiful images, recipes, links to websites, links to your blog, book and movie reviews — just about anythng you can think of or run across. It's like having a multi-themed tumblelog.

It is also completely addictive.

I have just created a few boards so far, but I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only is it fun creating your own collections of things, but checking out what everyone else has pinned and then liking or re-pinning it to one of your own boards is a great feature, too. It can very quickly become a six degrees of Kevin Bacon of tastes and desires.
