Our Glorified Selves
When I was a child, I asked my mom about heaven. She was raised as a Christian Scientist -- I think they believe if the Lord wants you to live, He'll heal you -- and she married a doctor. She told me she'd been taught that in heaven we'd be our "glorified" selves.
I assume our "best" selves would mainly concern what we do rather than how we look. But looking good never hurts; and why wait for heaven?
Here's a pic of our puppy. IN our earthly reality, she has a wound over her left eye from playing with other dogs; not sure if her hair will ever grow back; but she is a chunk of heaven here today; and Photoshop brings us the appearance to match.
(Thanks, Julie, for the raincoat -- as I understand, whippet-types might really appreciate it!)

Martian Museum of Terrestrial Art
At Barbican Art Gallery, London. "Anthropologists from outer space set out on a mission to understand life on Earth. . . . [T]hey begin their mission by examining the curious phenomenon that human beings call ‘contemporary art’." Judging from The Guardian's slideshow, a great show, including 100 artists and accompanied by "Films from Another Planet," naturally including some Cremaster. Through May 18, 2008.

The Lovely Sayana
from the original Star Trek series, apparently adorned with batter-fried onion "blossoms."
See more of the galactic gals Kirk closely encountered here.
