Jogging may be good for you, but you look like hell doing it


Buy RUN! by Dean Karnazes

Jogging may be good for you, but people who do it really look like hell while doing so.

Have you ever taken a good look at yourself while you’re exercising?  Web Watch has.  There’s a reason why we don’t work out any place where we can be seen – it’s just not a pretty thing to watch.

That’s why we really shouldn’t be surprised at the POST-RUN PHOTO ESSAY compiled by Sacha Goldberger.

Photographer Ryan Astamendi takes Real-life Disney Princesses photos

Disney's Aladdin Jasmine Deluxe Adult Costume
Disney’s Aladdin – Jasmine Adult Costume

Ryan Astamendi is a professional photographer with an extensive portfolio of work.

One thing that he is becoming known for is his ability to recreate classic Disney Princess animated characters and turn them into real-life models.

Take, for example, the above stock advertising photo for a Jasmine costume from Disney’s Aladdin.  There’s nothing wrong with the photo or the model – it’s doing exactly what the marketing department requested.  If you’re looking for a costume, it’s perfectly adequate… but if you’re looking for the “essence” of the character, you have to look elsewhere.

That’s why what Ryan does is much, much more than just take a photo or two.

Embarassing Parenting: Wave at the Bus

 Fisher Price Little People Lil' Movers School Bus

Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Movers School Bus

Not everybody’s parents are as cool as Dale Price.

Even if his son, Rain, may have been slightly embarassed about his father’s occasional antics today – what Dale has done for the past year is something that will definitely make for some awesome family stories 10 or 20 years from now.

And Dale didn’t really do anything too complicated.

All he did was the same thing any other modern-day parent does – they send their children off to school on the schoolbus every day.  Of course, Rain is also a teenager, with all the typical teenage angst.  So Dale thought he’d try something a little different this past school year.

What’s your Doggelganger? Find out using the human-to-canine pairing software

Adopt a Dog
Adopt a Dog

You know you want one.  Everybody does.

And you know the best way to get a dog is to adopt an unwanted or abandoned puppy from an animal shelter rather than to go to a breeder and pay more money than necessary.  Of course, if purebreds are your thing – then go for it, but if you listen to Bob Barker’s (and now Drew Carey’s) spiel at the end of every episode of THE PRICE IS RIGHT, you know that going to a shelter will give you the warm fuzzies – both literally and figuratively.

Adopting? Try a “pregnancy” photo gallery

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Everywhere you look there are pictures of smug pregnant women.

Women who are thrilled with being pregnant, proud to show off their baby-oven – whether it be with belly casts or pumpkin paint.

And there’s nothing wrong with this.  Many articles have been written about how some women become more beautiful to their spouses when they’re pregnant.  How pregnancy only enhances her looks as she changes from “woman” to “mother”.

But there shouldn’t be a double-standard on this.

What Was There? A photographic journey through history

World Map
World Map

The more things change, the more things change.

Some places are known for blowing the existing up and rebuilding from the ashes, history be damned.  Other places embrace their history, making it difficult for any new development to take place lest it disturb the historical (in)significance of what’s present.

That’s why Web Watch loves websites like WHAT WAS THERE, as it tries to capture the glory of history, without worrying about keeping the march of progress down.
