Gladiator sandals

I was at CVS in Hollywood the other day and I saw this girl wearing these really sweet Roman-looking sandals that went right below her knee and now I really want a pair. I did some Internet research and found that they are the cool new thing that all the celebs are wearing which is kind of embarrassing but maybe that will make them easier to find. Something about these shoes are so ugly but so cute, I hope I can find a cheap pair.

Pangea Day

"Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that and to help people see themselves in others through the power of film."

After watching several short films, here are a couple that caught my attention. "Laughter Club" by Neil Davenport is a short film that takes place in India which documents as the title says - laughter clubs. Basically these clubs gather to yes - laugh. While I feel it's a little absurd, it's really makes you feel happy knowing so many people get together just to laugh and make each other feel good. Not sure if I could fake a laugh and do it just because but nonetheless, they seem to find it enjoyable.

"Sweet Dreams" by Kisten Lepore was my absolute favorite. It's a creative piece about sugary treats (a cupcake) that learns how to be more healthy. Here is a clip of it:
