Also: Please don't forget Haiti... The situation is very slowly improving, despite enormous obstacles, thanks the the efforts of thousands of incredible volunteers from all over the world.

The world health organization, Partners in Health, is on the forefront in Haiti. PIH has been working in the country for over 20 years, and is providing aid for tens of thousands of displaced survivors each day. To learn more about the organization, please click here.

In answer to your question, no, I don't like the texture of bread.

To ask me another random question, or anything else, you can do so on FORMSPRING.

Lady Gaga has been confirmed as the new creative director at Polaroid.

I'm definitely interested to see what will be produced under her direction...

Fellow Bay State dwellers, behold! This is our new senator.

Not to impose my own personal political views, but... I cannot, absolutely cannot, believe that he won.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So, five days into 2010, I have finally gotten around to acting upon one of my new year's resolutions: to post far more often on the blog. I know that I have let my posting slip considerably in the past few months, but in 2k10, Naturegraffiti will hopefully be back in a very big way! I have promised myself that I will try to do as many outfit posts, contests and exclusives as possible during this upcoming year, and really kick the blog back into gear.

Thank you so much to all of you for making these past twelve months so incredible... you are all so inspiring and supportive, and this blog would not be at all possible without you.

Thank you!

What do you think? Certainly less wearable, but definitely more badass.
