The Perfect Vagina: I think this is an important video to watch, because it shows just how uneducated so many people are about what vulvas look like, and shows just how incredibly emotionally damaged some people are when it comes to their twats. Parts of this documentary actually horrified me. I don't have a porn star-looking crotch, and I'm perfectly ok with that.
Canada watches its democracy erode: "Edmund Burke noted that all that was necessary for evil to triumph was for good men to do nothing. Canadians are certainly good and worthy folks, but they suffer an excess of civil obedience, politeness and lack of civic rage that could be harnessed to combat political atrophy. At a time when Arabs risk life and limb for political freedoms, Canadians seem largely apathetic about the erosion of their democracy." Why are Canadians blind to what is obvious to people from other countries?
Disturbing fairy tale black and white photos: Evocative photography which captures the macabre quality of unbowdlerized fairy tales.
Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle: "This elaborate miniature house was created by silent film star Colleen Moore in the 1930s, and was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in 1949. It will delight you with its tiny treasures—including murals and paintings painted by Walt Disney himself; chandeliers adorned with real diamonds, emeralds and pearls; the tiniest bible ever to be written, dating back to 1840; and ancient statues more than 2,000 years old."
A flyaway success: Victorian dress made from 1,000 beetle wings restored at a cost of ÂŁ50,000: I posted a link related to this dress before. This article has full-colour photographs of the restored dress. It's gorgeous. I want a beetle wing dress too, please.
Other Victorian dresses used beetle wings, too. Here's an article on the phenomenon.
You Don't Know Squat: "Your Pelvic Floor, Hip, and Knee health require regular squatting." I have been doing this exercise regimen daily. I'm experimenting to see if it helps me with the issues I've been having with my SI joint and hips lately.
How to Make Homemade Lara Bars: If I had a food processor, I'd give this a go. The recipes look simple and good.
Bangable Dudes in History: Long-dead historical hotties. And there are a few women in there, too.
INSA 10-Inch Elephant Dung Heels!: The weirdest shoes I've seen in a while, for sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see Lady Gaga sporting them sometime soon.
Beware Your Tiny Hat: A hilarious video clip on what happens if you superglue a miniature hat to your head.
6 Socially Conscious Actions That Only Look Like They Help: Educate yourself before you stick your nose in and make an even bigger mess.

People's tastes differ. I abhor seeing plastic surgeons turning good into bad. It's amazing how often I prefer the "before" picture (be it nose, breast, ... whatever) and then see the permanent results of surgical disfigurement.
