Kate Harding over at Salon Broadsheet had an interesting take on the show Britain's Missing Top Model. It is a reality show, in which disabled women are vying to become the country's top model. Unfortunately, the online clips did not work for me. So not having seen the show, I like the idea of the modeling industry including many different types of bodies. If it ever comes to the United States, I will definitely watch.

A California man, who is a gay marriage advocate, is collecting signatures and raising money to put a ban on divorce in next election's ballot, according to the Associated Press.

The White House released details of this year's Christmas decorations, which were chosen by First Lady Michelle Obama, according to Salon Wires.
