Slow Motion

Occasionally I'll have a day or a week that reminds me time is all relative. One day can pass so quickly, another set of days can seem like a month. This gorgeous short film of dancers from Staatsballett Berlin is captured in slow motion at 1000 frames per second, but I could watch it for hours. A real-time ballet rarely captivates me the same way this does.

Girl Crush

 

After I stormed through World War I in approximately 3 days of a Downton Abbey marathon, I knew I was going to have to find something to fill the Downton gap, and quick (haters just wait, all of you who actually have the patience to watch ep by ep on tv will feel the burn even worse). But then, I found out that Skins, my favorite raunchy BBC show about badass teenagers in Bristol had 3 seasons I hadn't watched yet! Seasons 3 and 4 had me hook, line and sinker- I was totally lost in it.  I soon realized it had a LOT to do with my full fledged girl crush on the lead actress, Kaya Scodelario. It's a close call for me between her and her costar Luke Pasqualino, but Kaya's character Effy Stonem has a beyond cool, vampire slayer's gaze that I absolutely cannot resist.
