Fashion Brands Jump on the Tumblr Bandwagon

Is Tumblr the new fashion frontier in social marketing and influence? Approximately 180 of the top 1,000 Tumblr blogs are fashion related, Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp told Mashable. What’s more, fashion-related Tumblr posts are reportedly reblogged on a much greater scale than general Tumblr posts and are therefore much more likely to go viral. So it follows that Tumblr has a vested interest in cultivating their fashion-following usership. We recently broke news that the image-heavy social media platform had hired a fashion director, Rich Tong, and would be sending 20 of its bloggers to New York fashion week. Now, more and more fashion brands are increasing their reach by joining Tumblr.

As I travel around the world, I must state that very fashionable women on both sides of the Atlantic have very individual styles which makes it impossible to generalize. However, I found this site to be the perfect combination of the two worlds…Keep up your good work Francesca

I killed a pigeon

yes, it’s official and everybody knows about my hate, genuine terror and DISGUST for pigeons and today the moment arrived: I killed one while driving. 

at first that sudden noise and all those feathers on the windshield caused a sudden sense of CULPABILITY. no guilt, as my friend Alex underlined, just culpability. but I had to further investigate WHY it did happen and I freely felt the urge to spoke about it still INCREDULOUS.

"you faced one of your deepest fears and overcame it" the Buddhist approach that went even a step ahead: " you also practiced compassion for whatever was the cause of your fear", that is: I gained my spot in Paradise?

"think of him as good luck, as a sacrifice" a religious approach, no matter which religion.

"you did us a favor, you saved many possible lives today from the bird flu" a good hearted friend that loves me so much and went all the way.

"better than the other way around" a pragmatic approach.

the result: a catharsis. I really felt bad with the act of killing (INVOLUNTARILY). also, overall, what did a pigeon ever do to me except for shitting on my head randomly, flying as a menace against me in Piazza Duomo in Milan and trying to reach out to my ice cream or the crumbles of my pizza during al fresco dining? 

not sure the FORGIVENESS step happened yet, but may this serve as an eulogy to the poor bird. 

PS I refuse to add a picture of a pigeon.
