Sean and Yvette are two Dublin based photographers whose work you can often find in Le Cool Dublin. Recently they visited Ethiopa to take some photos for Orbis Ireland, a charity working to eliminate preventable blindness and restore sight to rural villagers in the poorest regions of southern Ethiopia by 2015.
The photos are really striking. Check them out here.
My love for the one and only Dolly Parton grows and grows.

God knows I love a flashmob, and this one is no exception. If anything, I love it more, because it was someone’s ACTUAL WEDDING and wasn’t representing any commercial entity. WARNING: You may cry.
They ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED THERE. If, like me, you’re wondering how they happened to have so many good singers as guests at their wedding, I’m assuming it has something to do with their previous employment as outlined below in The Boston Herald:
The choreographed dancing and singing of their 70 guests did catch mall shoppers off guard. Guests, who had rehearsed that morning, started dancing in unison and singing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” as perplexed shoppers walked by. Kleiman played the keyboard before walking down a make-shift aisle. His bride walked down the aisle carrying a simple white bouquet. Kleiman said they weaved his musical past as a pianist, and her past as a dancer into the ceremony.
It’s gorgeous. Go them.

I love Dr. Dre.
I love Fujiya & Miyagi.
I love this.
I don’t know why I find this funny but I really do!
Heather Morris is amazing, and definitely up there with Jane Lynch in terms of favourite Glee characters. She has only gone up in my estimation here.
Creamsicles are DELICIOUS.
My good friend Mary McGill got the first interview with Kenneth Tong post “revelation” that his twitter campaign for managed anorexia was a hoax.
WHAT A DICK.
Have a listen.

Miss America is happening this week in the U.S. Normally I wouldn’t care, but I am massively rooting for Kayla Martell, representing Delaware this year. She has alopecia, and is almost totally bald. After attempting to become Miss Delaware 5 times (with and without a wig), she found success last year. I think she’s a hero.
Thanks to all the hooplah that surrounds Katie Holmes, you are probably aware that a televised version of the lives and times of the Kennedys has been made in the U.S. It was made by The History Channel and was due to be shown on the channel this year.
Not anymore. According to the channel: “this dramatic interpretation is not a fit for the History brand.”
Hmm…considering how much this must have cost (Katie Holmes and couple of Academy Award nominees don’t come cheap, reported budget was $25 million), it must have been a really inaccurate depiction. The miniseries suffered criticism from the get go, with historians denouncing the script before the cast had been announced. This was followed by reported campaigning by JFK’s niece (and Arnie’s wife) Maria Shriver and his daughter Caroline Kennedy for the miniseries not to be shown. The result? Americans won’t get to see it. But Canadians will!
Canadian broadcaster Shaw Media is still planning on screening the production in Spring 2011. It will inevitably turn up online, and I daresay all this drama means that more people will see it than might originally have. I for one can’t wait!
