• Video: The trouble with tutus | Stage | guardian.co.uk
    I never actually got to the tutu stage when I took ballet classes, but I was jealous of those who got to wear them. I never thought of them as being a problem before watching this video, though! Very interesting.

  • Heather Wardell: ‘Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo’
    “When Candice’s in-laws were killed eight months ago buying a huge faux polar bear rug for her Christmas present, she lost more than just two of her favorite people: she lost her husband Ian as well. After only two years of marriage, their guilt and pain have left them living together but apart, unable to really talk for fear of what they’ll say to each other. Ian leaves for a month-long contract overseas, and Candice plans to use the time apart to decide whether her marriage can be saved. When her ex walks back into her life as the new client at work, ten years more attractive yet saddened by his own recent loss, she’s left wondering what she really wants from life and love.” (via West of Mars)
