THIS PHOTO SHOOT of real-sized women in next month’s issue of V Magazine! Such beautiful styling. What do you think?

SPEAKING OF BEAUTIFUL braids, have you seen (or participated in) the flickr pool Braid Wednesday? It features the beautiful braids of hundreds of flickr users–kind of like a mini braid sisterhood! And some of my favorite style bloggers like Kate, Alyson, and Jenny (to name a few) have been inspired to get braiding. I’m still trying to master a French braid in my own hair (I currently have pathetic hand-eye coordination), but when I finally do, you readers will be the first to know.

I‘M PRETTY SURE my lease agreement doesn’t include a clause on how baby farm animals are more than welcome. Darn. But thanks to photographer Sharon Montrose, I can now invite these darling little animals into my home. Lamb or baby porcupine? I can’t decide…

THE MUSTACHE SISTERS (aka Aya Kakeda and Nina Frenkel) are friends, illustrators, and Hungary-enthusiasts. They found each other in NYC and decided to pool their talents/passions and make a large wearable mustache costume to compete in the Mustache Contest sponsored by the Hungarian Cultural Center in New York. “To us, ‘Mustache Sisters’ is a celebration of collaborative creativity, frienship and fun,” Aya and Nina say. Oooh, I love it! (And how about those peep-toed shoes?)

SINCE SO MUCH OF WHAT we discuss here on The Sister Project network is about embracing and defining female gender identity, I’ve been compelled more and more to explore the nebulous concept of gender itself on this blog. Photographer L. Weingarten has an incredible photo project called “A Series of Questions,“depicting trans individuals holding written questions that they’re often asked about their gender and sexuality. The images made me consider (again) the significance of gender in our lives (and within “sisterhood”). All of the images can be found here.

I COULD STARE AT Shannon Taggart’s series of nun photographs for hours. What do you think?

WHILE MY TSP PARTNERS in crime, Marion and Paige, are busy getting healthy this week–what with tackling BMI myths and detoxing out the wazoo–I am slouching in front of a computer for hours on end, eating copious amounts of Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch, and staying up so late that my eyes may permanently cross. When they suggested I write a corresponding post about my health this week, I thought about it. Then I saw these photos of Natasha Lyonne by Richard Kern for Vice Magazine, and I knew I couldn’t lie. Readers: I have not done anything healthy for days. There, I said it.
P.S. Vice is calling this photo series “Acting Out at Home.” Awesome.

PSST–REMEMBER THE This is Home Project, where people fill in the blank “Home is ______.” and submit it here? Well, in the past month the project has started accepting visual submissions (like the one above, a favorite of mine). The submission period recently closed, and now I’m awaiting the finalist announcements with bated breath! What are your favorite images? And how would you fill in that tricky blank (if you haven’t already shared)?
P.S. What would you think about doing a similar project with TSP’s own fill-in-the-blank, “You know you’re a sister when ______.”?

This post is part of TSP’s network-wide “Sisters I’ve Met Along the Way” celebration, marking 9 months of blogging together, and toasting the women (and men) we’ve met.
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT or not, summer is closing up shop and making room for fall to move in. And despite the fact that I’ve been in school for three weeks, I’m still in denial about the changing seasons. The exciting bit, however, is that our baby, The Sister Project, is forever growing (in age and size). We started with a tiny group–just Marion, Margaret, Paige and me–but in the past nine months our family has blown up faster than the octomom’s. So, many thanks to the following (new) friends, who have opened their arms to us during the first months of our life: [click to continue…]

EARLIER THIS SUMMER, I was quite disappointed to hear many young women call in to the morning show on my local NPR station saying they didn’t call themselves feminists simply because they hated the word “feminism.” It made them uncomfortable. If I could find those women today, I would show them this lovely graphic representation of a Kate Nash quotation. It continues after the jump. [click to continue…]

First time here? Here's the idea: 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men. 
As the suffix of its name suggests,
