These exceptionally well-preserved leather women's shoes may have been originally purple or red. They were extensively embellished with gold leaf, embroidery, linen and silk thread. From Akhmim in Egypt, ca. 300-500 AD. flickr.com/photos/kotomi-jew…

In honour of today's incredible #WomensMarch2018 I'd like to throw it all back to our 1800's Māori Women's Dress Reformers who most deffo wore it better than the dudes. Mana Wāhine!
So, let me get this straight. This morning's sailboat race was cancelled due to wind and the ski resort is closed due to snow.

When Victoria implemented bike-sharing, this is probably not what they had in mind. A friendly neighbourhood owl has been spotted all over downtown—photo taken this past Wednesday by Jessica Galpin. #ShareYourOwl @weathernetwork

Not to be confused with our modern day Christmas Cake, the Twelfth Cake was rich, crumbly and packed with lot of dried fruits and spices then decorated sumptuously with icing and topped with two crowns for the King & Queen of Misrule.

This giant red hermit crab is wearing a man-made glass shell. By providing this crab with a transparent home, the people at @GulfSpecimen1 are able to educate the public about the rest of the the crab’s body without having to crack its shell open (which often kills the crab).

Part 2. The lost Sculptures of the most famous actress in the world. Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) not only created exceptional portrait busts & marble statues, she also explored the gothic & surreal. See her Self Portrait as a Chimera (1887) & Algae (1900). Thanks @Smnspier
