An award winning Australian artist Rosemary Valadon has created a very unique collection of paininting which she's presenting at an exibition until May. These painings feature "femme fatales" in a classic film noir movie poster style, but the faces are of prominent Australian women. The models for her paintings included lawyers, journalists, designers, actresses, a crown prosecutor, and 3 staff members of the Sydney's Justice and Police Museum, where the exhibition is being held.
Are you tired of the same old cliche restaurants, movies, dinners etc. Here are some unique ways to get away with your special someone on a romantic adventure that you'll definitely remember.
This map outlines countries where people feel most and least loved. The redder the region - the more loved they feel, and the bluer - the less loved they feel. Data collected in North and South America, Canada and Australia shows that people there feel very loved, unlike the ones from Russia, and certain parts of Africa. The question posed during research was "Did you experience love for a lot of the day yesterday?". It was collected by Gallup from 136 countries in 2006-07.
Are you married? Do you have a long term love?
Do you believe in growing old together?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
These guys do! They've been together for well over a lifetime.
Winter in Europe is below freezing, winter in Latin America is wet, but winter in America means it's chillybut you can really wear whatever you want!
Go for royal blues with a fur lined vest (faux, of course) this season. Best part? Everything is on asle, now that spring is coming along. And no, that does NOT mean you need to deck out in pastels!
A new fashion item for the ravers and clubbers ofthe 21st century: LED false lashes!
Yes, they're real! This is a surefire way to stand out in whatever style you choose to wear. Just think of the possibilities!
Why? Because the classic talking on the phone with a banana gag is timeless! New blast from the past item!The Banana Phone Handset plugs in and has plenty of cord so you can leave your device in your purse or pocket while talking on the banana. It works with most cell phones such as the iPhone, Blackberry, and even many office phones.
Have you ever hada bacon drink?
At Dennys they make a pretty killer bacon maple milkshake.
But would you go for a bourbon with bacon? Has a good ring to it, doesn't it?
Imagine having a real-life version of the Hansel & Gretel house... well, for it CAN be real!
Inthis case, it's more like a small room/cabin made completely out of cotton candy. As long as it's nowhere near the outdoors (to protect it from ants or bees), it's safe to munch on whenever you feel like you need something for that sweet tooth!
Hungry ravers, pay attention.
Most people wouldn't be caught wearing this, but if you're known at your local warehouse for being a hungry raver, this might be a cool accessory for you.
PIZZA!
Even if you weren't lucky enogh to land tickets for Book of Mormon, you can get a kick out of this hilarious book of "Mormon Missionary Positions."
Get a plot synopsis here: The Book of Mormon is a religious satire musical with a book, lyrics, and music by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Best known for creating the animated comedy South Park, Parker and Stone co-created the music with Lopez, who co-wrote and co-composed Avenue Q. The show lampoons organized religion and traditional musical theatre, reflecting the creators' lifelong fascination with Mormonism and musicals.
The Book of Mormon tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naïve and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share the Book of Mormon, one of their scriptures—which only one of them knows very well—but have trouble connecting with the locals, who are more worried about war, famine, poverty, and AIDS than about religion.
As kids we all played around with shadows, morphing our hands into some recognizeable shape.
These artists use shadows as an entirely new form of ART!
What's your best shadow trick?
In the “Bottom Percussion,” music video, Spanish percussionist Jorge Pérez of patáx shows that music is everywhere, including the thonged bottoms of four women.
There's something awesome about people who use unexpected materials to make art. Marta Klonowska fearlessly makes animal sculptures out of shattered glass. The material surprisingly creates interesting multifaceted surfaces for her installations. However we wonder if she has ever cut her hand in the name of art.
Are you one of those tall and skinny cyclist dudes and just feel so darn self conscious when you're riding? This is the solution! Never worry about your image while on boke again with thie faux muscle suit.
Miniatur Wunderland (German for miniature wonderland) is a model railway in Hamburg, Germany and the largest of its kind in the world, built by the twins Gerrit and Frederik Braun. It's become a rather popular sight for locals and tourists alike!
As of January 2011, the railway consists of 12,000 meters (39,370 ft) of track, divided into seven sections: Harz, the fictitious city of Knuffingen, the Alps and Austria, Hamburg, America, Scandinavia, and Switzerland. Of the 6,400 square metres (68,889 sq ft) of floorspace, the model takes 1,150 m2 (12,378 sq ft).[1]
By 2020, the exhibit is expected to have reached its final construction phase, including at least a total of ten new sections in a model area of over 2,300 m2 (24,757 sq ft).[1] The next section covering an airport opened in May 2011. The exhibit includes 890 trains made up of over 11,000 carriages, 300,000 lights, 215,000 trees, and 200,000 human figurines. The creators will work on models of Italy and France now that the airport section is completed. The airport is named Knuffingen International Airport and is modeled after Hamburg International Airport. Possible future additions include Africa, England, or a futuristic landscape.[1]
