Send a silly Diwali Gram!
You’ve heard of Elf Yourself, the popular Office Max campaign where you can turn anybody into a silly, dancing elf.
But have you heard of Diwali Gram? It’s even sillier than Elf Yourself because you can turn anybody into a shimmy-ing Bollywood star. You can change the type of dance, the music, which body parts are moving, and the costume. I’m a fan of the belly dancing outfit. It’s a great time waster.
Note, if you are looking at this at work, the Diwali Gram page automatically plays music!
Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights that is sometime between mid-October and mid-December each year. Read more about Diwali on Wikipedia.
Thanks, Katherine!
A friend of mine introduced me to a funny but depressing blog called Hyperbole and a Half. This week the blog had a post called The Trouble With Coupons. I think you’ll like this post because it’s a new way of looking at coupons and the drawings are hilarious.
It occurred to me last night while listening to a talk on social marketing that my beautiful bargain basement flats were shamefully tacky. The flats – lime green patent leather with a faux animal print tip – were a gift from a good friend who pointed them out to me at the local thrift store. I hesitated so she went ahead and bought the $5 flats, above, for me.
I adore them. If you can’t get away with green patent leather in gaudy LA, where can you? But…I’d like a second opinion. I wear them with dark skinny jeans, a black top, and a fitted black and white jacket.

Thanks to reader Glenn who lightened my day with this joke. “Confucius say… if you cant find the book you are looking for, you are probably at the….”
A friend passed this slide show onto me and it was so funny I wanted to share it. It has nothing to do with saving money but everything to do with enjoying Fridays. Yay it’s almost the weekend!
I highly recommend watching blogger Andrew McDonald’s series of photos about how to get your lost camera back.
Thanks, Scott!
ZooBorns.com has pictures and videos of baby animals from around the world. When I visited recently I saw pictures of frogmouth chicks, red panda cubs, baby wallabys, and a video of a mom and her two leopard cubs. Cats really do pick up their young with their mouths!
