Yes Please, Womb Chair

I would love a white womb chair. Unfortunately there is no space for one in our four hundred square feet of home.

Skiing Stair Slopes

I used to do this all the time when I was a kid. Check out more of Tim MacPherson's work here.

Ugg A Wugg Ugg A Wugg Ugg A Wugg

I was obsessed with this version of Peter Pan as a kid. I loved that a girl could be a boy and that a grown up could be a kid, it is such a perfect embodiment of the perpetually young lost boys. Mary Martin has such great chemistry with the kids and she is such a joyful Peter. I hated Wendy though. When my friends and I pretended to be the characters I was always Peter, or Tigerlily.

The video taped version I watched over and over was awful quality, but I loved it anyway. Check out this awesome choreography below. I know that at least part of my lasting fascination with theatre and dance can be traced back to my studying of this production as a six year old. I should probably admit that the refusal to grow up thing really took root as well.

One day

One day I will live some where that a hammock can hang outside all year long, with a pool that will always be the perfect temperature for morning swims and beautiful leafy greenery everywhere.

Banksy

For me there is nothing better art that plays with absurdity and humour in a way that makes us look at the realities of culture.

Take a look at more of Banksy's work here.

Old Favourites

Scuffy the Tugboat was my brother's favourite Golden Book when we were growing up. There were many requests for Scuffy at bedtime.

Theodore Mouse Goes to Sea was my Mom's favourite. She loved how Theodore Mousey would brush his teeth and comb his whiskers. I liked how he improvised a boat from his bed, and how his best buddy Beatrice had an eyepatch. Also: Pirate Cats!

My very favourite books were Robert Munsch, we were lucky enough to see him read at the Children's Festival in Vancouver. I remember how he brought the book Pigs to life and that he asked me my baby doll's name. (It was Luke, in case you were wondering too).
