The First Woman To Go 'Round The World Did It As A Man

discoverynews:

She was the first woman ever to circumnavigate the globe, but she did it dressed as a man. For more than two years she traveled on a French naval vessel with linen bandages wrapped tightly around her upper body to flatten her chest.

omg.

Wow. I found this mesmerizing: she is so young and she knows more and is so much better at makeup than I am. It’s a bit sad, really. Sorry, going to go be lame in the corner now.

Also, MAC brushes are like $60-80 (some are even $100+) in NZ - there is no way I am going to spend that. Ever. That is a dress right there.

tomoatmeal: You don’t have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off.  And while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the baby’s soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.  It might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but let’s see where the dog is going with this.
