Links I’ve been meaning to share.

Leslie Hall is a rap artist so brilliant I can’t even explain… It’s like Napoleon Dynamite knocked up Lisa Loopner and had a child raised on QVC. Her collection of Gem Sweaters is magnificent. Just go see it already http://www.lesliehall.com/8-sweaters1.html

The Glen Feron Portfolio is also a shining example of… well, just go have a look http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio36.html Please drag your mouse over the image when you get there, then call your teenage daughter into the room and make sure she understands what she’s seeing. Mr. Feron is a genius for putting his portfolio out there as a teaching tool for parents. (see more photos here http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/index.html)

Our Bodies Our Selves is asking for you to share your birth story for their new book. Go visit http://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/programs/projects/childbirth.asp and tell the truth about those stitches and that annoying nurse that wouldn’t stop being so cheery.

And please go visit one of my favorite internet comedians Eugene Mirman. The Marvelouse Crooning Child is both disturbing and satisfyingly funny, while you're there click on 'more songs' so you can enjoy such greats as "Born in the USA" and "Roxanne".
