Have some links to articles etc that I've collected to pass on:

• The ‘perfect body’ is a lie by Lindy West


• Time to Uncover, Alicia Keys talks about going without make up


• Project Naked, women talking about their bodies, full of really interesting essays


• For the Record, Jennifer Aniston on media scrutiny of women and their bodies


• Why stuntwomen are in more danger than men, never thought of it but makes (horrible) sense!


• The fight to celebrate great women on Britain's streets, an interesting look at female statues and sculptures


• Revealed: Cambodia's vast medieval cities hidden beneath the jungle - another example of how we really know only a fraction of even our own past

And now for some more visual stories, two adorable and gorgeous comics for you.

First this charming, f/f tale of mermaids and tattoos by charmingly antiquated. See the full thing on artist's Tumblr post but here's a first panel as a taster.




And second, Scaredy Cat, a wonderful story of a little kitten's Halloween adventure by Heather Franzen. Again, the full thing can be seen on the artist's site but have the first panel to get you hooked.

Given I've got a thing for mermaids and for tattoos, it's right up my street/down my alley :-)
