Skittles are something of a secret obsession in the NYLON office, so when their new round of posters went up in Manhattan – including warnings “Don’t Poach the Rainbow,” “Don’t Shaolin the Rainbow,” and “Don’t Shoot the Rainbow,” we were pretty delighted.

We also love the “Trust the Rainbow” campaign that came out a few years ago, because it’s become something of a good life philosophy.

There’s also “Love the Rainbow.”

“Believe the Rainbow.”

“Be the Rainbow.”

And “Squeeze the Rainbow.”

What would your Skittles slogan be?

(Please don’t say “Fuck the Rainbow.”  A certain cynical staffer already tried…)

Remember those incredible Jimmy Choo shoes Dani rocked in her That’s It video?

It turns out they have a matching clutch.

It’ll cost you about $1200, giving it the distinct honor of being worth more than anything it can actually hold

(Especially if your credit cards have a $500 limit).

But hey, it’s hot pink.

Who can argue with that?

Were you born to be in pictures?

Can you rock a pair of yoga pants better than Christy Turlington?

Are you destined to marry James Franco?

Then hop on over to Gmail, where the casting directors of Eat, Pray, Love eagerly await your submission.

They’re looking for yoga lovers in NYC to appear in group scenes with Julia Roberts and the rest of the film cast, so basically you’ll get paid to do your downward dog pose for an entire day.

Another Monday, another True Blood recap, and another list of WTFs with a million exclamation points that we scrawled down during the show. Including:

1. Bill can sing! And he’s really corny when he pretends to be evil!

2. Vampires can cut their hair into ’20s flapper bobs and have it grow back!

3. The Light Of Day church is way sneakier and more plugged-in than we ever thought possible!

4. And so is Daphne! Who’s also The Pig!

5. Even though Maryanne can turn into a giant minotaur, she can’t make a boiler work!

Yeah, that’s about it. But also:

6. Why could Bill give his Maker that silver necklace without her dying?

7. Is Godrick the vampire who’s set to be tied to the cross?

8. Eric is the second person to say that Sookie is “something more than human.” So what is she?!

Discuss.

A concert that benefits the making of a…maze? Hell yeah.

“Dear Faran,

I’m studying abroad in Rio de Janeiro and took these pics in Florianopolis, a cute beach town down south in the state of Santa Catarina.

For some reason I just love the one with the girl.

It looks like she is just floating and tranquil.

Thanks!

Juliet.”

It’s a great drawing, for sure.  If you have graffiti, send it to faran@nylonmag.com

We interrupt this blog to bring you shoes by Giussepe Zanotti.

They’re on Bluefly for like $1100.

We cannot buy them.

But OMG.

Heads up to TopShop:

Get on this, stat.

No, the photo at left isn’t a scene from Big Love.

It’s actually a shot of two college students in Utah who serve as tour guides for This Is The Place Heritage Park, a large woodland sanctuary in Salt Lake City that the New York Times compares to a pioneer Colonial Williamsburg.

But anyone born between 1978 – 1998 knows better.

Really, this is the living, breathing version of our favorite video game, Oregon Trail.

You can throw tomohawks at this place.

You can trade stuff at the local general store.

But sadly, you can’t hunt buffalo, deer, and squirrels – the only reason most of us played that game in the first place…
