| "Beauty," one of the two statues outside the New York Public Library. |
- The Guardian did a piece on Emma Watson after the minor internet furor that erupted from Watson showing too much breast in a Vanity Fair article. While I don't necessarily agree with everything in The Guardian's article, it is an interesting take on Watson and her feminism and privilege.
- Speaking of Beauty (in more ways than one), this fabulous historical article from Broadly discusses the life and tragic end of America's first supermodel, Audrey Munson. You probably don't recognize her name, but it's likely you have seen her body. She was the model used for a number of recognizable statues, including the statue outside the New York Public Library, and the fountain outside the Plaza Hotel. A fascinating and sad read!
For today's musical hit, the ever amazing violinist Lindsey Stirling does her version of "Beauty and the Beast." Check out the dudebros during the "Gaston" segment. And her Mrs. Potts dress!!!! OMG I am such a fangurl of this woman and her music and videos.
