My forearms feel like rocks.

This looks like an amazing show!  I love creative and unusual fabric choreography.

So…um…I did my first straddle press handstand without a jump yesterday.  And I don’t really know how I did it (except that it was much more wrist than anything else), and it freaked me out so much that I forgot all about form when I pushed up and flopped out of it really quickly.  I think it was one of those things that I won’t get again for a long time, but doing it once means I “can” do it.  Tentative “yay?”

DIY Craftsmanship of the Day: Ziploc Bag Jacket for Snacking on the Go

A crafty lady by the name of Diane made this ingenious jacket out of Ziploc bags. Not only is the clear plastic great for staying dry on rainy days, she can always have some snacks with her. This is one outfit that truly succeeds at fashion and function. Hat tip goes to Laughing Squid!

Spent last evening at the closing show of Invert by Tangle Movement Arts at The Rotunda in Philadelphia. It was a great show, we will be posting a fair amount of shots in the upcoming days. Many thanks to Lauren Rile Smith for making it possible for me to attend.

Dario Mitidieri spent one year in Bombay photographing street children.

The pictures tell their story

Beautiful work. That said…it’s Mumbai, not Bombay. Perhaps it was still Bombay when these photos were taken?

Now all you can do is wait. It must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. Like the ebb and flow of tides. No one can do anything to change them. When it is time to wait, you must wait.
