Latest Additions to “Disney Dream Portrait” Ads

The Disney Parks Blog has posted the latest additions to Annie Leibovitz’s "Disney Dream Portrait" series. The three new photos include Olivia Wilde as the Evil Queen and Alec Baldwin as the magic mirror from Snow White, Penelope Cruz and Jeff Bridges as the title characters of Beauty and the Beast, and Queen Latifah as Ursula from The Little Mermaid. Some have criticized the photographs as being overly photoshopped with a poor choice of actors, but I think they perfectly convey the surreal, dream-like aura that these fairytales are meant to provoke. For the rest of the photos from this series, check out Super Punch. (And just in case you're wondering, my favorite remains Rachel Weisz as Snow White.) Via The Daily What....

Dogbrella Keeps Your Pooch Dry in the Rain [Genius Invention]

Yesterday, my little sister Suzy (well, she's not so little — she's 28 years old!) came over and cooked not one, not two, but THREE delicious dishes and stocked our fridge to the brim. And I must admit that Claire is really starting to warm up to her eemo ("aunt" in Korean). Even just a couple of weeks ago she would cry whenever Suzy...

Le Petit Prince Moleskine Limited Edition

The purveyor of my favorite notebooks has done it again. Moleskine has announced a collection of limited edition notebooks which pays tribute to the classic tale by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Le Petit Prince (or, The Little Prince in English). The Little Prince has been one of my favorite books ever since I first read it in grade school. In addition to the English format, I also have it in the original French which I purchased during a trip to Paris back in high school (this is also the only foreign language book I read on a regular basis), as well as a pop-up edition which my sister gifted to me a couple of years ago. Le Petit Prince Moleskine Limited Edition is available now...
