I'd like to meet:
Miss Gala Darling is a writer & editor with equal parts fierce knowledge & curiousity in the realms of fashion, style & aesthetics. She runs the ever-popular iCiNG , a place of congregation for fashion misfits, Vogue vagabonds & les enfants terribles. iCiNG provides guidance & inspiration while at the same time championing knowledge of self & development of one's personal aesthetic.
When Gala isn't stirring the iCiNG bowl, she enjoys listening to weird music, taking photobooth pictures, dancing & wearing enormous shoes.
The way to my is with a huge box of rose-flavoured turkish delight. Other things I like: extravagant hotel rooms , fortune cookies , balloons , people with nimble little fingers who make origami magic , vintage greeting cards , candles in churches , old candy shops , decorative paper , Moleskine notebooks , mosaics , spinning teacup rides , fancy cakes , sparklers , girls on swings , high heels , foreign accents , photobooths , ghost pictures , hip hop , giant bunnies , Pantone colour charts , kaleidoscope vision , dollhouses , organising by colour , pictures of streets in Japan , dachshunds , fake boyfriends , girl crushes , wigs , fireworks , one-person dance parties , reflections of light & Burning Man .
