PinterestFail I've been on a real Pinterest kick lately, and this made me laugh.

Who's on Pinterest? Share your profile if you dare.

I'm on pinterest (link) but I don't really go pinning things. Some interesting accounts I follow:

Katy Atlas
Erstwhile Jewelry
Harry Winston
Naina
The Paris Review
Museum at FIT

in fact I just unfollowed a couple of online retailers so that my feed just has these people instead of a smorgasbord of item pics.. much better

I do enjoy Pinterest.

I have a Snarking at Pinterest board for ridiculous finds, because for some of 'em, you just have to laugh.

I loved this actually - the explanations of how they failed were useful too.

I do like the explanations because it makes it clear that sometimes it isn't so much a PinterestFail as a UserFail.

(aka I have great curls from the headband trick AND got huge compliments on it while it was still in the headband yesterday)

(proof!)
