This is a custom Link action figure made out of a Wreck It Ralph toy by Etsy seller KodykoalaToys (of Yoshi mecha fame). It’s Link in a walking mecha named Epona with a treasure chest full of Link’s tools and quest items on its back. There’s 55 of Link’s quest items included on the toy. That’s a lot of stuff. I’m starting to worry Link might be a hoarder. You think if I told Princess Zelda about his condition she’d finally lose interest in him so I could slip in there and…you know. “Know what?” Become BFF’s and throw slumber parties…

The perfect at-home facial: Radiance Renewal Mask by Ren

REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask 1.7 fl oz (50 ml) I have never been a huge fan of facials because honestly I’ve always been afraid I’d end up looking like Samantha did in that episode of Sex and the City, but I have always been a fan of at-home masks and exfoliation.

How a Carousel Ride Became Part of America’s Civil Rights History

Stan and Donna Hunter knew they had a special carousel on their hands. They just didn’t know how special. “It is by divine intervention that this carousel has been saved for all these years and is now in the midst of the National Mall,” said Donna Hunter, who has owned and operated the Washington, D.C., tourist attraction with her husband Stan for 25 years. “We knew we had something special,” said her husband, Stan. “It brings tears.” On Aug. 28, 1963 — the very same day the March on Washington was making history — the carousel was playing its own cameo role in the civil rights movement at an amusement park…

Holzer was the first woman artist to represent the United States at the…

From Sept. 13 to Dec. 31, 2006, the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) presented an exhibition near and dear to my heart, The Big Three in Printmaking: Dürer, Rembrandt and Picasso. With 90 prints in a variety of media (including etchings, woodcuts, engravings and lithograph), the exhibition focused on three Western artists who were so solid in their ability to draw they pushed the boundaries of human achievement in printmaking during their lifetimes as well.
