Ballet Linky

Happening in Wellington: Ballet for Everyone. This video is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe your city needs Ballet for Everyone too?

The most misread poem in America: interesting article that, oddly, includes a very detailed recap of a New Zealand car commercial.

1902 trading cards depicting “women of the future”

Paintings tell kind of a love story in the shadow of giant robots… (via Craig Oxbrow)

The British PM and the pig. Two articles that are worth your time: Why people are laughing and (via Ivan) what it says about the state of British politics.

This sounds lovely – how traditional stories become part of the British landscape (via Hugh Dingwall)

Charming short telling a story with 1978 vintage Star Wars figures. (Coulda done without the “twist ending” though…)

The Twin Peaks tarot (via Pearce)

Someone discovered a third all-purpose caption for New Yorker cartoons.

And finally… I almost didn’t include this because I prefer not to go blue in the linky, but somehow I’ve talked myself into it… a hilarious three minute re-edit of apparently-legendary 1980s spoken word album “The Way to become a Sensuous Woman”. Definitely NSFW. (Dangerous Minds has more info.)
