Mostly found these via Cleolinda...
Turns out Dove's 'real beauty' campaign is massively retouched. Not sure if this is a surprise to anyone, but I like how it was leaked by the guy that touched it up. Oh the irony. I mean, I kind of knew this was the case, but it makes me a little sad anyway.
Cool science stuff....on Talula? Yep, turns out the platypus looks so weird because it's a mix of different species! Scientists have mapped the platypus genome.
...and a species has adapted to climate change! Great Tits Cope Well With Warming, is basically the best BBC article title ever.
Youtube fun! The cool way to put on jeans, no really. This is amazing.
...and one of my writing idols Meg Cabot talking about where she gets her inspiration from and reads from her journal from 1981. Awesomely funny.
More Twilight, here's the official poster. Is it just me or is there something weird about how Bella's standing? I can see that Edward has his arms around her but I keep thinking it looks like her hands are tied behind her back? Or maybe she has her hands on something important of his...which would explain the expression.
It also bugs me that 2 out of 3 of the men are all staring straight back at the reader but the 'good' girls are looking off to the side. The only female staring straight back at me is the wild vampire girl who doesn't like Bella. Not sure what Alice and Emmet are looking at actually. I wonder why they decided to go with that poster?
This one is more better but she still doesn't look like Bella to me. I like how weird they've made Cedric Diggory look.
I want to end on an upper note than me whining/obsessing about the Twilight movie (seriously, why can't I leave it alone?) so here's one more link.
I really liked Style tips by Gala Darling, because they weren't what I expected and I really like the picture she uses to head up the article.
I just found out that Gail Carson Levine has a new book out called Ever. I must go to Borders and see if they have it yet...but I made an unofficial resolution to stop spending my money....but I really love her work....oh dear.
Oh heck, this how to take better pictures article Gala linked to is great too. Makes me want to go out and get artsy. And then get the pictures printed and scrapbook them. I am such a craft geek.
