...something nearly carnal about all this full-fat food issuing from the kitchens of these gorgeous, tiny women. On a 2004 episode of Everyday Italian, De Laurentiis made two rich stuffed pastas as well as cheese sticks "to sop up all the sauce ... Who doesn't love stuffed shells?" she asked in her sensual TV voice. "Gooey, aromatic cheese wrapped in a luxurious, firm pasta shell." Are we still talking about food here...
...chalk drawings on sidewalks of bodies since removed. One can easily imagine him driving around the dark streets of New York City of old, waiting for his self-installed police radio to propel him into action. But it wasn't just crime that captured his attention: the despair and shell shock of the Depression in America and the absurd opulence of the country's postwar era both inspired him. In one image, a young couple dances in a "voodoo trance" (ca. 1956); in another, a burlesque showgirl whose glorious body drips with glitter sips water backstage. Weegee's pursuit...

According to Van Heerden, the team's report, set for release May 31, will show that 87% of the water that flooded...
...Judy Watson was another. And around to the left of cloud will be the artist's 11-m-long glass ceiling, inspired by her painting two halves with bailer shell, 2002, in the NGA collection. Floating in a glassy sea of Prussian and ultramarine blue, the sand-blasted image is deceptively beautiful: the Aboriginal bailer shell was drawn from a collection at the British Museum where a friend of Watson's was working last decade, and her work is about the sometimes painful process of cultural retrieval. Watson, 46, who traces her lineage to the Waanyi country of northwest Queensland...
