Ever have one of those days when the best thing about the day is that it’s Friday and the end of the work week?

Yeah, that’s been me, pretty much since Wednesday (except then, it wasn’t Friday, which made it all that much worse). Then, through the magic that is our 21st century technology, I was alerted to this:

Bethany Reynolds:Part-Time Cheerleader, Full-Time Geek Girl. by marylinopen featuring kate spade accessories

It’s a Polyvore devoted to Bethany from The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading. The little details are amazing and made me smile–like the Lara Croft image, and the T-wolves, and a fantastic cheer uniform, and, and, and … I could go on. Oh, the embedded music (told you I could go on). You’ll have to click through for that.

All in all, a fun way to end the week and start the weekend.

Yes, I’ve succumbed at last and created a Polyvore. It’s for our YA short story, Speechless.

Fun but time consuming. I could see spending way too much time at that site. So, instead, I’ll work up some posts for this week (I hope) with actual words in them. Stay turned for mini book reviews and an possible excursion into the former East Germany. Darcy may have a few things up her sleeve too. She never fails to surprise me.

The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading is featured in another Polyvore set. Yay!

I love the song Melt With You. I love Vitamin Water. It probably goes without saying that I love puppies, too. Those shoes are lethal-looking. Are they sharp? Because they look kind of sharp.

They are also: PIERRE HARDY – METALLIC STRAPPY PLATFORM LACE-UP SHOES, and they are $830 on sale.

However, the dress is apparently $31.00. It’s also from Japan, so maybe that’s not accurate. But the Grosgrain Bow Headband–which nicely matches the cover of Geek Girl, I might add–is all of $1.50.

When you let your heart win.

Have you guys seen Polyvore? According to their About page, they are:

Polyvore is a free, easy-to-use web-based application for mixing and matching images from anywhere on the web. It is also a vibrant community of creative and stylish people.

What they also are is a really cool pre-work writing tool. Sure, you could do it the old-fashion way with glue and scissors (people get nervous when I use scissors) and magazines (except I don’t subscribe to any–I’m all about digital media).

Or, you could do it online. You could easily build a set for the story as a whole, or for each character, or even the theme. I’m kind of excited to get back into draft mode and try this out. In the meantime, I’m avoiding the the site because: Hello, time suck! I already spent way too much time looking at the Converse All Star sets.

Why am I mentioning this today? Well, look below:

That’s What You Get When You Let Your Heart Win by marylinopen on Polyvore.com

Someone added The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading to a set. There it is, in the bottom right hand corner. I love all the blues in this set as well. I would also totally buy that skirt if I were–well, let’s just say several years younger.

What about you? Have you heard of Polyvore before? Have the urge to explore and create a set?
