Around the Web: Kate Von D, Alice in Wonderland + Santigold

Kate Von D--sans tattoos! [via Latina]

To some French feminists’ chagrin, the French tradition of topless sunbathing is no longer considered part of a more relaxed, less prudish culture. If you’re planning a getaway to the Cote d’Azur, keep the bikini top on—if you don’t, you might even get a fine. [via Jezebel]

While we’re on the subject of “the girls”, one especially well-endowed woman conducts an unscientific, yet socially important experiment to answer the question: does amount of cleavage displayed correlate with ability to get your way? [via Nerve]

Check out the latest from Tim Burton with this preview of Alice and Wonderland, predictably weird and wondrous. [via The Frisky]

For lovers of the TV’s stylish and scandal-filled "Mad Men" comes a second season DVD commentary with the lowdown on the making of the show and the evolution of its most interesting characters, Peggy and Don Draper. [via Salon]

Get a free playlist of hip summer songs, including Santigold’s addictive dance tune “LES Artistes”. [via Nylon]

For lovers of travel and fashion come adorable passport t-shirts, at the recession-friendly price of $30. [via Fashion Bomb Daily]

For those with strong stomachs and stronger senses of irony comes Deadgirl, a deliberately shocking and over the top indie movie about, well, what it sounds like. [via Salon]
