jacqui_o's Web Picks

People spend hours surfing the web, hoping only to find that one really interesting site. Meanwhile life passes them by. Sometimes they find what they're looking for. More often, they find themselves frustrated and unsatisfied. Well darlings, I’ve just made it easier for you! I've weeded out the garbage, and brought to you the sexiest, most stylistic, intriguing, controversial, funny, I’ve-got-nothing-better-to-do-with-my-life kinda web sites, for your perusal.

http://www.digitalgirly.com
Art or pornography? You decide, not only is this site sexy beyond belief, but it is also artistically well put together. If your tired of the same old porn on the net (as I am), you’ll find this one to be tastefully titillating, and it’s neither gender sexually specific.

If your unsure as to where you stand on the death penalty you might want to check out the Texas Department of Criminal Justice death row statistics. What I find particularly disturbing is the page that shows us the prisoners last meal requests. If the death penalty is supposed to be a deterant , then why are there still so many people committing such heinous crimes?

There are exciting new uses for lego that I never imagined trying as a child, with Barbie and Ken maybe, but with lego?? Again we pose the question "Art or Pornography?"

Wondering what Jesus has been up to? Same thing as everyone else, just lookin’ for a little lovin’.

Well there are certainly tons to see, and do at this "flashy" multimedia site. Great visuals, as well as sound, brought to you by the same people who put together digitalgirly, you could spend hours at this one.

This site represents everything Jacqui_O loves in a web site, it’s sick, twisted, local, artsy, and best of all it’s interactive!

http://www.tribu-design.com/main.html
It's all about design baby! Furniture and interior designers are featured at tribu-design, and not only are this site educational, but it's not in the least bit boring. This one is loaded with goodies, everything from ultra chic postcards to interactive flash interiors for you to decorate with designer furniture.

Fashionwhore is one of my absolute favorite sites for finding out what’s hip on the streets, I'm not talking about the designer stuff that costs the as much as it does to feed a family of four in a third world country for a year, and dress them too. I'm talking about the stuff pulled together from imagination and hours spent at the thrift store. Fashionwhore has great links too.

Well boys and girls that's all for now, but if you know of any interesting links that you want to share with the world, send them on over to 5a7@avivalasvegas.com.

Don't forget to put at: Jacqui_ O in the subject line. We can't choose all of them, but we'll choose some.
