btw, this is how we tumbl while at the BBC America office: with Doctor Who playing on a ginormous screen before us

Series Two: ‘The Lazarus Experiment’ is on the channel now.

If wonder if I can get away with playing Doctor Who on my second monitor if I just kind of put it on and pretend like everything is normal.

Sometimes I Wish That…

kaityjay:

I would get bitten by a radioactive spider like Peter Parker, and then I could leap onto tall buildings, and shoot webs out of my wrists, and I could climb on virtually anything, and kiss boys upside down.

That’s all I ask.

Replace “sometimes” with “Every second” and, yeah, me, too.

The ballerina diaries: In Bunheads, former dancer Sophie Flack offers an inside look at the ballet world—and the sacrifices girls, like her main character, must make to reach the top. Read more here »

I know that there are a lot of hard realities about being a professional ballet dancer, from the physical to the emotional, but I would weather them all just to live that dream.

Behind the Curtain

jcrew:

a peek at our September women’s shoot at
the Yakobson dance studio in Saint Petersburg,
Russia, featuring local ballerinas

We cast the lovely, lithe ballerinas from the Yakobson and Mariinksy schools through a local in-the-know Saint Petersburg production coordinator. The Mariinsky ballet school is known for helping hone the skills of such mega-talents as Anna Pavlova and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Between takes, the girls stretched, giggled and snacked on catering with us. Fun fact: Each time they put on their satin pointe shoes, they sew the ankle ribbons for perfect placement.

We were so impressed by the girls’ dedication—they practice six days a week, with only one off for rest (and it’s a major core strength workout, we’re told). But the payoff is huge—they go on to perform in major productions around the world at renowned venues like the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall and the London Royal Opera House.

Our crew was so inspired after spending the day shooting in the studio that they attended the ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre that night. The performance? A captivating rendition of “Romeo and Juliet,” the classic tale of young love.

Pretty sure that there’s no universe where me being a ballerina would’ve worked out, but it’s still one of those unrealized dreams that hurts a little sometimes.

All I want out of life is to get married to Jonathan Rhys Meyers and have a son just like Freddie Highmore.

That and a KitchenAid in every color.

This. Changes. Everything of the Day: Sick and tired of being unable to create up to four individual-sized pies at once from the comfort of your own cubicle? The Breville Personal Pie Maker, available exclusively through Williams-Sonoma, is here to help you lip-smack your pie-less doldrums away.

Also: End civilization as we know it.

[ohgizmo!]

I need this in my life.

I can totally convince them that this is a legitimate thing we need to have at Store Cute, right? (Not for sale, for making pies for me to eat all day.)

Jen and I keep talking about doing ballet, but I don’t think it’s going to happen until January at least, which is kind of good because I don’t really want to find out how much I’ll suck after so long away.
