In culture news on May 13th, love is in the air between Spock and Kirk, the SFBG and global theater, and a typo-prone Chron blogger and body shaping underwear.

ANIMALS

Aw, falcon chicks! On the top of the AT&T building? Hmm. CBS5

STYLE

Chron blogger writes about body shapers, but I can’t really pay attention thanks to all of the typos. Example: “andm frankly … the T-shirt and cami-based shapewear was a bit out of reach layoff-leary journalists.” layoff-leary, indeed. Chron

THEATER

Bay Area citizens are all about thinking local, but sometimes it’s good to go global, especially when it comes to the theater. SFBG

What did we miss? Let us know.
