- Hyperrealistic Portraits Using Only a Pencil: I love hyperrealism, and I love pencil drawings. So looking at these makes me so very happy!
- Dove Experiment Aims to Change the Way You See Yourself: This is a fascinating experiment in how you see yourself versus how others see you.

- Vintage sexiness — 22 exotic dancers from the 1890′s: Wow, check out those thighs… no skinny girls here! Many are wearing corsets, however.
