Tiny blogger Tavi of Style Rookie rules the fashion world! Scrolling through her blog's archives (they start way back when she was 12 in 2008) it's amazing to watch how she refines her sense of style.

Even on the crappiest of computer speakers, TeenGirl Fantasy sound awesome. But a post on their official fan-site describes it best:
"Sometimes when I close my eyes I picture a club far away where there is free piña coladas. People are happy and no one can hurt me, not even myself. Suddenly a glitter ball light starts pulsating out of a cube that appeared out of the ocean. It slowly walked towards me and asked me to dance. I figured, why not? The night grew into a sunrise, I sat on a rooftop and cried while falling asleep, but with a glimmer of a smile on my face. It was possibly the most beautiful club I'd ever been to. The pulsating ball of light was called Teengirl Fantasy."

Stewart Coffin, author and famous polyhedral puzzle designer, welcomes the replication of his designs, many of which are not under patent. He writes:
It is not necessary to ask my permission to manufacture and sell any of the designs listed here. I encourage others to become involved in this rewarding and fascinating craft. Unless otherwise indicated, all of these designs are my own creations. Yet you might say that is only partly true, for they are all based on ideas that have evolved over centuries, their origins fading away into the dim and distant past. As far as I am concerned, they can all be regarded as in the public domain.
