Scholars (And Their Cute Kids) On Ice

nypl:

All work and no play is no good for anyone. So Thursday morning, a bunch of hardworking Cullman Fellow scholars - including author David Bezmozgis and his ridiculously adorable daughter Mae Young - took a breather and hit the ice at the Bryant Park Skating Rink. There are plenty more pics where this came from on the Cullman Center’s Facebook page, but we figured we’d share one more - Cullman Director Jean Strouse looking just as cool as can be. C’mon Jean! How about a triple axel?!

“Once the Bush and Obama administrations decided that you couldn’t let these firms fail and they didn’t want the mess of nationalizing them, there was really only one way forward — and that way was to gift money onto these banks until they’re back on their feet and can function at the center of the economy again. But that, to any normal person who is outside the system, just looks ridiculously unfair. It looks like socialism for capitalists and capitalism for everybody else. So it’s no wonder people are marching in southern Manhattan.””

life:

Happy Birthday Brigitte Bardot.

At the height of her career, Brigitte Bardot was equalled only by Marilyn Monroe as an international sex symbol and the epitome of beauty. For Americans, she seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the 1956 film And God Created Woman. And for two decades, she dominated any screen she was on. But by 1973, she finished her final two movies and went into retirement, leaving behind two decades of work that defined what sexy is.

Here, photos of the one and only Brigitte Bardot in her Heyday

I attended San Diego State University, and although I actually really enjoyed it, when I was a student there it was not considered cream of the crop. If you got over a 2.0 and had never fucked a dead body, they’d basically let you in. Anyway, I made these a couple years ago mostly because I was…
