party like it's 2008

The world may have been undergoing the worst economic recession since the 1930's, but that was not going to stop these Italian hipsters from having a good time.  I hope these flicks from Provider Mag circa 2008 inspire you to live up your friday as if you were a millennial dancing to Justice and Boys Noize at the club to stave off your growing disillusionment with life.

exploring blog archives: linleeloves.blogspot.com, march 2008

The blog of journalist/photographer/creative consulant Linlee Allen has been one of my favorite finds since I've started this here blogspot.  It's full of so many excellent party snaps and outfit photos that it really makes me feel like I've stumbled on some kind of digital treasure trove as if I'm an internet-surfing pirate or something.  Anyways, check out some of her star-studded snaps (yes that is Chloe Sevigny and and Kanye West) below:

exploring blog archives: thecherryblossomgirl, april 2008

I was scrolling through thecherryblossomgirl's archives recently and was immediately struck by this ode to pink hair.  It feels like springtime in a blog post, and I love how her cotton candy hair compliments her blog's namesake (that is, cherry blossom flowers).  It's so sweet and girly, and it definitely makes me want to dye my hair pink, too.

exploring blog archives: iliketoforkmyself, october 2008

Daul Kim, the blogger behind iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com, was a Korean model and rising star in the fashion world.  On her blog, she shared a glimpse into her life as a model, and also the insecurities and health issues she faced.  Daul tragically took her own life in November 2009 at the age of 20, but her poetic blog posts and photography remain on the internet:

“after i uploaded some funny photos of this series took by
