As writers, editors and artists, the
staff of
Girls’ Life is always on the prowl for fresh sources of inspiration. And boy, do we
find it everywhere! We rip photos out of high fashion mags, post funny postcard
graphics on our bulletin boards and scribble down awesome sayings we don’t want to
forget. Now, we’re sharing those bits that delight us to no end with you. Here are my top-3
sources of inspiration for the week…
Scripps National Spelling Bee winner
Sukanya Roy
If you visit GL’s Facebook page,
you’ve probably noticed that I was tuned in to ESPN last night to watch the final rounds of
the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Those kids spelled for hours, and I’m not
embarrassed to admit that I recognized maybe 1 in every 10 words.
After nearly two-dozen rounds,
Indian-American Sukanya Roy came out on top. This was the 14-year-old’s third and final
trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Her winning word? “Cymotrichous,” a
Greek-derived adjective meaning having wavy hair.

The zipped lips of Mr. Justin
Timberlake
In an interview with Vanity Fair,
he talked a bit about ex-girlfriend Jessica Biel…just long enough to say that she was the
most significant person in his life, and that he was going to protect her and their
relationship by not sharing any more deets.
I don’t know about you, but in the
age of Facebook and social media over-shares, privacy is a little something I’m starting to
value more than ever. I’m raising my water bottle to Justin and his lack of loose lips.
Let’s hope this is the start of a trend, huh?

you send that status update and do your FB account a favor: Tighten up those
privacy settings, babes.
Checking out other folks’
signature looks
The Sartorialist is so well
known now that he has a coffee-table book, but this fashion photog isn’t exactly letting fame
going to his head. He’s doing the same thing he did way back in 2005: Hitting the streets to
snap shots of ordinary people going about their lives…in style. When I’m looking
for a new way to wear an Oxford shirt or pencil skirt, I turn to him and his iconic pics for
inspiration.
