Since January is the month of "getting shit together," I have been busy planning an editorial calendar for this here blog as well as working on a few very exciting projects and partnerships for the upcoming months!

BUT, part of the NOT*OTHERWISE 2013 PLAN is to perform. And that means getting articles done as planned. Because I am a hustler and that is what hustlers do.

Look for a post later this evening on the new calendar. For now, enjoy LINKLETTES a weekly roundup of what is sexy:

Hustling & Insights

Ever since I learned about Shauna Haider of Nubby Twiglet, I've really admired her business sense and design aesthetic. Here is a post from her on her most recent BRAND AUDIT which is a must read for anyone building their brand and business on the web. I love it.
Don't be a 'career hipster' and fear the up-comers and amateurs in your field. Seth Godin says "Get better instead of getting angry."
"Accepting the status quo, and worse, getting used to it – is a proven path to stagnation." I am restless and constantly developing new ideas. I guess it makes sense that this Statspotting really spoke to me: "Learn to hate the status quo."
Speaking of the status quo, our culture is disparaging to anyone who is working outside of it. Molly Crabapple has advice for young artists: "Work hard. Make friends. Don't give up."

Sex & Love

Fucking Cindy Gallop is my hero. Read her interview with Dazed Magazine.
This is a GREAT GODDAMN ARTICLE on love and being in it from newly-engaged Emma of A Beautiful Mess: Fall in love, Love deeply.

Style & Personal

Zena Holloway makes excellent underwater images happen. Reminds me of that time I almost tried out for Cirque d'Soleil. #nowreconsidering.
Birdie @ Bonne Vie recently celebrated her 30th and I'm feeling inspired by the the Gatsby party theme. Beautiful! Happy Birthday!
My girl Felicia Sullivan is an eloquent motherfucker. Here she talks about GETTING SURGICAL: "This year we will be surgical. I tell you there’s no other way. Our greatest tool is the scalpel and we’ll need to it excise the unnecessary appendages because we live in a world of barnacles."
I'll explain more later, but i'm doing a 365 PROJECT in the form of #OOTD shots on my instagram. Here are some shots from the last week:

And because Boston's finest librarian, Kate Procyshyn, asked for it, here's my favorite song from the last week:
