Brainstorming Trend with Clipix
There is a new timewaster/timesaver in Enchanted Closet. Clipixis a web based clipboard style website that allows users to compile bulletin boards for different interests and brain storming ideas. Similar sites seem to be cropping up like the shoes in Imelda Marcos' estate. This one is a bit different. A link is added to your Bookmark Toolbar, and every time you see something you like, you "clip." A small dialogue box pops up and lets you add the web page to the clipboard you want, and lets you thumb through the photos on the site to choose a thumbnail. Obscure books on etiquette? Check!

The picture isn't just save – the entire link is.
Lately, I have been compiling brainstorming clipboards of blog topics, fashion choices and most recently, questionable trends. They are great conversation starters. Yes, those are Smurf Village baggy pants and drop crotch blue jeans, which are almost as wince inducing as jeggings. When I find something more scrutiny inducing, one can simply be replaced with another without hunting through all of my bookmarks. The while board can easily be shared on social media or can be emailed to friend or foe.

The folks at clipix have kindly made an instructional filmstrip on how to use it, featuring a very Vintage Retro Universal human symbol – the stick figure. Yes, the stick figure who has defied and transcended all trends of masculine and feminine fashion and style through the ages. Sign up and join the fun (or the serious trouble to your bank account when you buy everything you've clipped.)
