Have a few minutes? You're gonna need 'em!

Like some girls, I am a habitual and chronic collager. I make collages like there's a brush fire about to consume my home and I have to arrange all my treasured memory junk in an artistic way. I make collages like they're the key to curing AIDS. I make collages like there will be no tomorrow but I must remember yesterday. Ya heard?

So, you can imagine how delighted I was to find this website. Polyvore lets you MAKE COLLAGES ONLINE with dope patterns and backgrounds, mixed with clothes and accessories that you would like to buy (just see the quick one I made just now). Imagine if I put some time into it and uploaded my photos from Japan, mixed in with an imperial Prussian pattern, an American eagle and a tube of mascara? It's like you're making your own Nylon Magazine spread. Um, Polyvore, where were you when I was rolling on ectasy and couldn't figure out how to work my scissors and glue stick to make a collage of Vanity Fair magazines from the early 90s? Huh? Where were you. I love you.

The lesson is: free up your weekend cause you're gonna be collagin'! Best, Meg
