If only I had been given a little French sister with a propensity for outrageous storytelling. I think we would have gotten on well together.

Anastasia Smith: 24, sisterless and searching.
THIS GUSTAV KLIMT painting has always spoken to me.

Welcome to Our New Blog Network
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.

this video is even better the second time around. were you like that at all as a child?
I just blew tea out my nose laughing. I think my favorite part is when the witch appears to guard her strawberries. That, and every time she says “hippopotame”. And “crocodile.” Oh my.

have you seen this one by chance?

You know me: a taxonomy freak. Plants, birds, website-organizing. Among the planet’s species of storks, a couple of kinds fit into the genus Anastomus, which I have to say sounds remarkably like Anastasia. Hmmm….maybe you are the stork after all?
Oh, and this: If I were the stork, I would have picked you (and I think my birth sister, Marion, would have, too, gladly ceding her role as youngest). Glad that even without genetic connection we won the baby-sister jackpot.
Good research, Margaret! Taxonomy freak is one of my favorite kinds of freaks.
And kcs, that one is a close runner up to this video. It kills me when she dips the strawberry in the strawberry jam.
E–I think my parents can attest to the fact that telling myself stories has always been a favorite pastime of mine. I don’t think I’ve actually grown out of it.
Telling stories to oneself is the best route to a happy ending.
How could this be cuter?
I am sending this to all of my friends in france, adorable, i want to talk to her all day, its sad that however that her french is better than mine
Dunno if the fact that I’m french makes me find her even cuter…but i’m totally in love with that little one, she’s adorable…
