Before landing on this page, you and I were only separated by a mere three degrees. Now we can be one on the web. That's not the definition of technological singularity but it should be.
With this tumblog, I promise kittens and balls of yarn for the kittens to play with. There will be some making out and a lot of hand-holding. I hope that when you are lonely and lost on the outmost corners of the interweb, you can come here and find yrself and feel the good vibrations. You are special and no one can touch that!
Your Pal Mal
There are times
when I’d like
to take you quietly aside,
so it’s just us
(and us alone)
pull you close,
take your hands in mine,
stare deep into your eyes
and earnestly ask,
“WHAT THE FUCK…?!”
this was fun

When we go it alone, we deny our interconnectedness and miss the opportunity to mean something important to each other; we throw away the chance for real satisfaction and real beauty.
My first piece as a tech contributor for The Huffington Post
We’re living in a time where technology industry strength has reached the highest since the dot-com bubble and the creative workers who power it are treated like coveted commodities… Comparing myself to the voices in the New York Magazine “Sucks to Be Us” article, it’s clear that the ominous tech bubble does not apply strictly to the financial status of the tech world but also to its social status.

Tortoise & Blonde: See & Be Heard
Fashion, bands, shows, parties, & downtown ny culture… that’s what Tortoise & Blonde Eyewear is all about, which is why we can’t be more excited to announce them as a new Small Girls client!
Tortoise & Blonde is a modern alternative to classic eyewear. Designed for functional versatility that expresses the Tortoise and Blonde in all of us. Made to appeal to a new generation of tastemakers. Void of ostentation. Grounded in craftmanship and details. Tortoise & Blonde affords the exploration of the duality that exists in all of us.

One Today. Another Tomorrow.
Having worked with bands such as The Static Jacks/Savoir Adore/Ra Ra Riot, and just returning from an amazing pop-up shop tour with Urban Outfitters, T&B hasn’t stopped going.
They’ve got some amazing things on their line up, such as powering Pearl and The Beard’s ‘Raise Your Glasses’ tour, more band & fashion collaborations, a new collection, and a site relaunch (coming soon)!
Follow their tumblr, facebook, and twitter to keep up with all the adventurous details (and all the stylish pretty people rocking their T&B’s).
That’s two new client announcements this week! The other being the couture swapping site, Refashioner. Small girls, big moves.

Earth, Wind, & FireCarole King… Mal’s friend Antonio, who made this image, may have been confused.. but we love both Carole King and Earth, Wind & Fire either way!
I’m available for parties, yes.
Here at Small Girls, there are four things (among many others) that we love (we love lots of things… but here are 4):
- cats
- memes
- our client Katherine Kwei
- dressing up
In honor of halloween, our Creative Assistant Klarika, put together these costumes incorporating ALL FOUR OF THOSE THINGS WE LOVE.
In case you were curious, this is what it’s like to work for us.
Ben Lear on LILLIAN
The Awl:: Your show uses the Pacific Garbage Patch as a metaphor for… I don’t want to say the Island of Misfit Toys but—
Ben Lear:: Sort of that, yeah. The idea is, what if there was a place that held everything you ever lost: notes, harddrives, memories, and feelings? When you think back on the first person you ever loved, and how intense that feeling was, and now that feeling is completely… I have ex-girlfriends I’m friends with, and I can’t even possibly remember what that felt like. It’s crazy to me that that could have happened, and I have such little memory of it.
