"Rather than come to blows with his sister over the missing Lego tree, he sat beneath his prayer flags and let the feelings wash over him." (Photo: Dave Lauridsen; Dwell)
THE HILARIOUS PHOTO BLOG Unhappy Hipsters posts photos from trendy design magazines along with little satirical captions. I always find the captions about kids especially entertaining (like these little dudes and this gal). But I laughed out loud when I saw this new post about a brother brooding over his sister and her inability to share Legos. Love it!

FROM TIME TO TIME I love posting on here about sister-themed books ( um, no I’m not talking about Sweet Valley High) that I’ve come across and enjoyed, because it always starts a juicy dialogue about what everyone has been reading lately. My current recommendation? [click to continue…]

good brother...good style...I'm in love.
LET ME TELL YOU: watching the MTV “reality” show The City is one of my favorite guilty pleasures ever. As you may know, this week marked the new season premiere. (Did you watch?) And so while I lay in bed soaking up all the new season gossip and Kelly Cutrone quips, I noticed a painfully handsome man sitting around at People’s Revolution. And then he spoke! And MTV told me that he was a designer for a brand called Nicholas K! And thus I put my stalker skills to work. [click to continue…]

ALMOST 1,000 MILES AWAY from Marina Abramović’s current performance piece at MoMA, I have been deeply moved by the photos of visitors to her exhibition, The Artist Is Present. In this piece, Abramović waits at a table all day and people are invited to sit across from her and stare into her eyes. [click to continue…]

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.
