High heels, even scarily tall high heels, are considered a regular part of everyday wear for women. In fact, many women feel they have to wear them to look professional. Even if they’re standing on their feet all day. And for what? A slightly better calf shape under a knee length pencil skirt? Why is it so hard to relegate high heels to special occasions, and view flats as the only appropriate everyday wear?

I left Seattle exactly 8 months ago. Scared and exited to leave everything I knew behind for who knows what. Coincidence must have smiled when a handsome green eyed man sat beside me in the plane. I started a conversation to keep from crying, and I am still glad I did. I always would have loved Brazil, but he helped make it my home. I am happy here, and I hope to feel the same in another 8 months, or 8 years.
We met in the sky, our first date was in graveyard, and our second was in a hospital. We have always been a little crazy, so long as we are crazy in love.
I had never had a coconut on the beach until I moved to Rio. It is literally impossible to be unhappy drinking out of a coconut sitting in the sand.

Exactly 8 months ago I moved from Seattle to Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Well almost. I am living in Rio’s smaller way less cool neighboring city Niteroi. But I am only a ferry or bus ride away from a real city. From cold wet summers and even colder wetter winters to sunshine all year, except for the occasional downpour that makes me google ark building.
All in all a good move.

Unfriendly Policy of the Day: Richard Metzger @ Dangerous Minds recently received a rather puzzling e-mail from Facebook, informing him that a photo his site posted on Facebook had been removed for violating “Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” which prohibits “shares that contain nudity, or any kind of graphic or sexually suggestive content.”
The photo in question? Two men kissing (above).
It gets worse: The photo was associated with a post on his site concerning a London-based “kiss-in” organized to protest the mistreatment of two gay patrons of The John Snow pub — a protest which originated on Facebook. The John Snow protest page has since been removed as well.
Facebook, by the way, does not respond to violation reports with an automatic removal. According to the Facebook Help Center, an administrator “looks into each report thoroughly in order to decide the appropriate course of action,” only removing the offending content if a violation has occurred. So make of that what you will.
