I FIRST NOTICED Albrecht Tübke’s photography on Black*Eiffel, in a post about swimming. I followed the links, and was amazed to find the most stunning photos of matching twins. I’m not even sure where Tübke is from (a quick search didn’t reveal too much). Thoughts? Guesses? Do you have a favorite in his series? My favorite is above and the rest are all here. Wow.

WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN gathering up identical twins for some good-natured trickery on the subway? Improv Everywhere put together this little sketch about a year ago, and I still smile when I see the other train riders’ reactions! Isn’t the woman’s double take on 0:43 priceless? Do you think many of these twins already had matching outfits in their closets? If I had a twin, I’d want to keep at least one identical outfit handy…just in case.

AS WE ROUND THE SIX-MONTH bend here on TSP, I’ve been reflecting on all the fantastic people that I met along the way, starting (of course) with all you lovely readers. Additionally, there have been many talented minds that lent a hand to Claiming Sisterhood during its infancy. Do you remember… [click to continue…]

Our gallery has grown with all of our recent reader contributions. Send your matching family photos to claimingsisterhood [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks Kristen!

I CONFESS, I’M A LITTLE envious of the five sisters who are behind the website Five Blondes. Yes, they’re all blonde (in varying shades), and yes, they have a little Canadian je ne sais quoi spirit, but the icing on the whole blonde cake is their serious sister camaraderie. And while they’re scattered in various corners of Canada (Erica actually lives in London), they remain connected through so much more than common hair color. [click to continue…]

THIS INCREDIBLE PHOTO was kindly sent to us by reader Elizabeth Edwardsen as an addition to our recent “We Match” photo gallery. The young lady in the floral jumper to the right is her mother. I love seeing the family resemblance in these siblings’ faces; it’s almost enchanting. Send your matching photos to claimingsisterhood [at] gmail [dot] com.

THE OTHERWORLDY SISTERHOOD of artist Grete Stern.
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.
