Capucha Shares Her "Popotamus" Story - Je T'aime

Remember the little French girl, Capucha, who took the Internet by storm when she ranted about eating too much candy? She's back with a magical story. It includes monkeys lost in trees, a witch, crocodiles, a tiger, and a "tremendously very bad mammoth." Is it just me, or does she sound particularly adorable because she's speaking in French?

I think it's time we update our Cuuuuuttteee and Funny Kids list!

The Wii Fit: More Fun in French

There's nothing that Capucine does that is not mind-bendingly adorable. Here, the French video phenom tackles the Wii Fit, and even though she doesn't do too well (which she acknowledges), I am still jealous over the fact that my video game exercising never looked this cute.

Inspired: Chanel's Dimensional Blooms

I just stumbled across images from the Chanel Spring/Summer Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week, which was utterly dreamlike, like a giant pop-up book of bursting, white, paper blooms. An arrangement of 7,000 paper roses, daises, petals, and leaves wound their way around the Pavillon Cambon Capucines, which took a total of 4,800 hours to assemble. While I'd simply die and go to heaven to live in a space like this, it's too time-consuming a project for me. Seeing as Karl and I are on the outs right now, I don't think he'll make it happen for me, either. So, I decided to see if I could track down some smaller doses of dimensional blooms for my home. To see my Chanel-inspired finds, read more.

Heavy Metal Monk

As if we needed proof that Metallica rules, here's more proof. This Capucin monk from Italy was so taken with the heavy metal heavy hitters when he saw them 15 years ago, he started his own heavy metal band. He's not doing heavy metal because he's trying to convert folks to Christianity, but rather because he thinks it teaches people to live life to the fullest. I love the alternate universe of cloistered monks. Some of them make amazing beer, and now, heavy metal music, too. Rock on, heavy metal monk!
