things I like this week, vol. 31

 

Gingers on a Canadian shoreline.

. . .

Personalized capes for kids.

. . .

Why must you tell THIS story? What's the belief burning within you that your story feeds off of? That's the heart of it.

 Number 10 of the 22 rules of storytelling according to Pixar. 

. . .

Art nouveau doors. I want this one especially.

. . .

I am green, and it'll do fine.

. . .

A discussion on the right wine glasses. I prefer the really shallow, wide-mouthed vintage champagne glasses, myself, although that's based purely on visual appeal.

. . .

Anthropologie, you get me every time.

. . .

What I wish for is that in each dance — performances included — I may have the courage to present myself with complete authenticity, a flawed human being before another flawed human being, feeling safe in the certainty that I will be fully accepted for who I am. I wish that my partner will allow me to see him in his emotional nakedness, reassured that I will embrace him in his totality. In that moment of exquisite vulnerability when we take each other in the arms, we will make a pact to share our emotions for the next ten minutes.
