2012-01-20T00:14:00.007Z

I just love things like this!In 1835 Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duck pond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered the Shell Grotto; 70ft of winding underground passages leading to an oblong chamber, its walls decorated with strange symbols mosaiced in millions of shells.

Kawaii! Little Mirai-chan has become quite famous throughout the online photography land thanks to her photographer mother, Kotori Kawashima. But I don't care if you've seen her before, and she's so adorable that I doubt you'll care either :DAnd thanks to Hiki for posting the magazine cover Mirai-chan graced in December. A double dose of cuteness to get you through the week.

Happy March, guys! Did you see the Oscars? They didn't show them here in New Zealand! Gasp. But they did show Live From The Red Carpet, so I got to pass judgement on everyone's fashion choices and sound off to my patient boyfriend about who's had surgery, and who really shouldn't be wearing that colour tsk tsk... But the highlight by far was Cate Blanchett who ROCKED this Givenchy dress. Hot damn

Bus Window #5, Lithuania 2001BI just love this simple, melancholy series from Andrew Miksys. Entitled Buses, the images are of just that, a project shot in his native Lithuania.Andrew's series Bingo, exploring punters of American bingo halls, is also great, and I found this portrait, Spartak, Lithuania 2006, in Andrew's diptych Baxt. Perfect.

She's also a trained ballet dancer and wants "to sound like I'm from 2050, but still feel really classic, like the music is an old friend." Sounds like my kind of girl. Here's her single White Nights:Oh Land- White Nights (
