Yesterday, as part of the Blogspotting feature at Women Like Sports, Apryl DeLancey linked to my post from earlier this month that showed Aneta Florczyk performing a strength event called the Farmer's Walk. I'm returning the favor because I think the video embedded in Apryl's post is hilarious. Be sure to check it out.

I leave you this Friday with another impressive display of female strength:

The movie doesn't have a script yet, but it seems everyone has someone in mind for the Wonder Woman role, usually for the wrong reasons. In Beyoncé's case, that would be, well, Beyoncé. As for Megan Fox, she fits the costume so amply, to the mind of one fanboy anyway, that a fake poster was created to convince fans that she had already been picked for the part.

A quote from Beyoncé captures the spirit nicely:

I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions. But I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy.

Is this really the best way to go about picking our heroines?

Now that the long political season is over, and the flock—or the gang, depending on how you choose to view it—has its new leaders, we can instead focus on what happens when someone goes about doing good in the world without waiting for direction or worrying about what others are doing or not doing. What follows is a promotional spot for HALO (Helping Art Liberate Orphans), the foundation started by former taekwondo champion and Rigged star Rebecca Neuenswander:



I hope you didn't give all your money away to politicians and can join me in making a donation to HALO.
