various cool links
Because my browser is too full of stuff.
Pretty stuff:
V Magazine: Curves Ahead -- for those of you with an interest in issues of weight, body image, concepts of beauty, etc. A photoshoot (semi-NSFW) that treats flesh as a beautiful thing.
The Plimoth jacket -- the result of an epic, many-handed volunteer project to re-create an early 17th-century embroidered jacket. Scroll down to the bottom for pictures, include detail closeups that will make the costumey folks on this list drool.
The art of cutting leaves -- some truly stunning artwork, achieved by surgically excising leaf surfaces while leaving the veins intact.
Less pretty stuff:
The Americanization of Mental Illness -- an interesting discussion that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of how we conceptualize and treat mental illness, and what happens when our ideas get exported to other cultures.
