Ragtime’s Christiane Noll and Bobby Steggert - (USA)
Ragtime is my all-time favorite musical.

Monkey: Journey to the West, an opera - (USA)
26 November 2008 It’s a convoluted cultural path that took me to the O2 last night. Pay attention. In 16th century China, Wu Cheng’en wrote one of the great works of Chinese literature, called Journey to the West. It’s the mythological story of a Buddhist monk on a quest to India to obtain some sacred texts, the strange creatures that accompany him, and the demons and trials they overcome along the way. One of those strange companion creatures is the Monkey King, born from a stone egg, who lea

KDU Food Festival 2009 - (USA)
Food festivals are usually in an open area, I thought, because all the heat and smoke from cooking will get into the fabric and hair tosses then become barbecue-flavoured wind. BUT!!!!! KDU decided to hold everything in in their canteen. We must all salute to everyone who were cooking in the heat and promoting in layers of costumes today man! All that they have to endure... :P I don't have much entertaining photos to tell how everything went because I did not want to risk having my camera lens

“The key to the webcomics business model is not that the artist should be ’separate’ from the businessperson. In fact, the fundamental key is that the artist maintains a very direct control of the ownership, the responsibility, the ideation, the decision-making, and the implementation of their business… even in the delegation of tasks to companies they contract to work for them .” - Dave Kellett Above the Fold [Top Story] Life i

Thursday’s Top Ten Super-Heroines - (USA)
They are the most kick-ass women of comics, heroes all, arranged just for you in one handy dandy list. To simplify things I’ve left off the women of X-Men because of the size of the mini-universe (they really deserve their own list) as well as those anti-heroes and sometimes villain characters such as Catwoman, Emma Frost, the Black Cat, and the Hutnress. I’ve also ignored the more fantasy-style characters who don’t quite fit into the super-heroine category such as Red Sonja, Jungle Girl, Sheena
