What the world eats...

 

Time magazine has a wonderful visual essay on "What the World Eats" .  It includes a photograph of the a family's foods for a week for each of 16 families around the world.

You tube is the devil!

A totally kick ass commentary on fatness.

Zounds...

Zounds.

(Also here incase this doesn't load.)

So I was thinking about this do-it-yourself project...

...a dress that is one of my favourite "I haven't done it yet, but I swear I'm going to" dresses.*

You can find a ready-to-wear version here.

Hot, yes?

Other interesting dresses that have hit my eye lately:

Slinky strapless dress
Demure polka dot dress**
Oh, so simple black dress
Art Deco, but is it really the model I like or the dress...
Zomg, Plaid!***
Brown and pink!
Aqua wardrober****

*You'll need to scroll down to find instructions on making one for yourself.
**What can I say?  I'm a sucker for polka dots.
***Also for plaid, as it turns out.
****As if I've found a suit that works for both my hips and my shoulders at the same time.  Why, oh why must I buy two suits to get a good fit?!

Slimming photos?

HP has a new and no doubt soon to be much loved feature on its cameras: slimming.*

I swear, I've just been waiting for some less-hard-to-stomach method of shedding those pounds. Who knew it would be as simple as just doing all my business by photograph instead of in person?
