"71/365: Stars In Sophia's Eyes" by lancelonie

Paying It Forward: No, not the movie. The concept of loaning something to someone, with the condition that they will repay you by giving the same gift to someone else. Apparently conceived by Benjamin Franklin, i think it should be our new global credos.

Pay the Designer: Science fiction writer Harlan Ellison gives a brilliant rant on why creative professionals deserve to be paid. Preach on, brother man!

Super Obama World: Do you like our new President? Do you like Super Mario Brothers? PLAY THIS GAME.

Dress Like A Villian: I wish I had found this around Halloween, but Ivy has done a fantastic job creating outfits based on the world's most notorious on-screen wicked women. Bravo!

Hat Parade: Hat designer Linda Pagan organized her fellow milliners into having a small parade in Manhattan. the result is a cornucopia of whimsical, wonderful head wear that will leave you itching to doff your own fine derby.

Social Color Wheel: Crowdsourcing professionals Chris Van Pelt and Lukas Biewald asked hundreds of people to name the colors they were shown. They then had some incredibly talented programmers graph the results. The final product is a "socially aware" color wheel - one not based on the actual color values, but the social weight put on each. Interesting stuff.

JCDC (Jean-Charles de Castelbajac) versus lego fashion show: Jean-Charles work seems made for the medium of LEGO. This show is utterly delightful and adorable, and entirely in the form of those iconic blocks. (snatched from bits & bobbins)
