Things We Saw Today: Effie is a Beautiful Flower

We saw this fabulous trio walking in the first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire this morning but they deserved another look. Collider has one more shot of President Snow and Plutarch. 

• Our thoughts and sympathies go out to those who were affected by the explosion in Boston earlier today during the marathon. ThinkProgress has more but if you’re looking to help you can call 1-800-RED CROSS. If you’re in the area, consider visiting the Boston Red Cross Blood Donation Center  at 274 Tremont Street. And if you need to talk to someone about the tragedy, do not hesitate to call the Disaster Distress helpline at 1-800-985-5990.

Just the other day we brought you Aaron Diaz’s designs of Zelda if she were the lead character of the Legend of Zelda games. Here’s a new illustration added by popular demand.

• Speaking of things we’ve talked about before, TechLife’s Rae Johnston, has written a more in-depth account on her blog of her “fake geek girl” BioShock tweet from the other day.
• Hollaback Philly Debuts Rad New Anti-Street Harassment PSAs (via The Frisky)
• And interesting meditation in the NY Times on how people pay attention to the “strong female” part of “strong female characters” and not the “strong character” part.

Speaking of strong female characters…Chaos and Confections created this awesome Arya Stark bento box. (via That’s Nerdalicious)
