The last post in the Through Her Eyes series at Layers of Meaning was quite special. We were each asked to give a picture of one or both of our parents when they were younger and to tell a story. I couldn’t find any good quality pictures of my parents under 20, since most of the photos had been left in Cuba.

Be sure to visit and see the rest of the stories!

This makes me smile. I love that this teacher rewarded the humor and creativity. After all, isn’t that how the real world works?

I’m loving these stills from the upcoming Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton, which is scheduled for release in 2010. It makes me want to throw a wonderland party. {Sigh, I always want to throw a party, don’t I?}

{Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter}

{Anne Hathaway as the White Queen}

{Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen}

{Matt Lucas as Tweedledee & Tweedledum}

The cast is quite interesting {not too shabby!} It looks like it promises to be a beautiful and twisted film, which is precisely what Alice in Wonderland should be.

{p.s.} Don’t you just love Hathaway’s red lip with all that whiteness?
