BITS & BOBS No. 7
Who runs the world? Girls. GIRLS! Say what you will about the new HBO show GIRLS (and for the record I agree, though you should listen to Lena Dunham on Fresh Air), it makes me LOL a lot. And Sunday’s season finale was no exception.
You know whose work I love? This woman’s. I’ve posted her before and I’ll post her again. Ulrika Kestere = genius. And her hair is amazing.
Anne Benjamin is one talented lady and I very much like her illustrations. (via Design Work Life)

I was reading Ulicam, the blog of Ulrika Kestere, the wonderful mind behind The Girl with Seven Horses and other coolio art, and found this wonderful picture! See more of her work here.
Also, Over the Week(end) is going to go on hiatus for a bit (solly, Mom) and might become a monthly post tbd. Don’t worry though, I’ll still share lots about what’s going on up in this crazy cool city and life (WAT!).

The Girl with Seven Horses
The Girl with Seven Horses, a photo essay by Ulrika Kestere.
Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fiercefull winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn’t weigh much). The girl was devestated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.
