CC logoThis week's links. 

– So excited for some new Arrested Development

– Stereogum interviews one of my many idols.

– This is cool – it's the world's first exhibition on Alice in Wonderland.

– Have a gander at some of the most expensive shoes in the world.

– I'm not on Facebook, so clearly I am a sociopath.

On the beauty front (lots of nail news):

– In addition to the aforementioned world's priciest shoes, here are the most expensive beauty products.

– Check out photographer Leland Bobbé's half-drag portraits.

– The wildly popular beauty sample subscription service Birchbox surveyed 10,000 of its customers about beauty trends.  Unsurprisingly, the survey found that beachy waves were the most coveted hair style, but I was taken aback by the fact that only 2 out of 5 are "puzzled" by BB creams.  I admit I was when I first heard about them months ago, but they've been in the U.S. market for nearly a year now – I would think even non-beauty junkies would be familiar.

– Jezebel posts a very enlightening infographic showing the relationship between beauty and happiness.   Apparently Americans spend billions a year on beauty products but overall, we're still not very happy.  As the Dude would say, "That's f*ckin' interesting."

– Another story from Jezebel, this one exploring why nail art is still a woman's domain.

– The Fashion Spot gives us a brief history of the manicure.

– Olympic-themed nail art is old news.  Lucky Magazine presents manicures in honor of the Discovery Channel's Shark Week.

– Finally, I am gearing up to start a new series here at the Museum, which will be posted every few weeks (read:  whenever I get around to it).  I'm still struggling with a name…hopefully I can come up with something decent soon.  😉
