The Secret Life of Legos

Finding this Lego set totally made my day. Whether it is Star Wars Stormtroopers doing the unexpected or re-creations of classic photography, every image seems inspired to make you smile.
So many more on Bakalov's Flickr stream.

Ohhh I totally had Star Wars Legos. Darth Vader, C3PO, R2D2...I carried them in my back pack in high school. They kept physics class interesting.

The knitting Storm Trooper is just the cutest thing ever.

The little lego storm trooper is so cute. I have recently gotten back into lego, since my nephew is now old enough to play with it, without putting it in his mouth! There is a whole miniature world at your fingertips, it really is a beautiful creative medium.

Sorry to hear you didn't fancy the Coco Chanel movie. If im not mistaken it looked good to me because i figured it was a low budget movie jus for TV audience haha. Im looking forward to the next one too!

Nice legos set.
PS: Faye Dunaway was against Duff as well, saying "Can't they find a real actress?" Duff shot back saying "I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."
