I've worked in retail for many years and have run into the creepiest men! So much that nothing really surprises me anymore. Ladies run the other way if you see one of these dudes!
In a bay on the northern shores of the Black Sea, the Soviet army maintained an elaborate submarine base throughout much of the Cold War. Now a museum, this abandoned submarine base in the town of Balaklava, Ukraine is often explored by locals and tourists alike. During the war, Soviet submarines were constructed elsewhere, transported to this base by rail, then deployed into the Black Sea and beyond for covert underwater operations. The tunnels of the submarine base reached far and deep into the mountain above, providing enough room for many submarines and their crew up through the end of the Cold War.
This 1963 fashion series by Melvin Sokolsky for Harper's Bazaar magazine is one for the books. To create the iconic "Bubble" images, model Simone d'Aillencourt had to climb into a plexiglass ball that was actually suspended in the air by a cable and crane.
“The bubble in the series is made of Plastivew and is composed of two hemispheres with a 1/8-inch crack to allow for breathing room. Then the bubble was hung from a very thin, but strong cable. (It could have also held up a Cadillac!) This was probably one of the easiest shoots I’ve ever done in my life because there were no hair or makeup interruptions. No one could touch her in the bubble—so it was just her and I creating the images.” — Melvin Sokolosky
Berlin-based designer Sarah Illenberger has started an awesme new project called Strange Fruits (sort of like the song from the 30s). She turns ordinary fruits into fun works of art that can be bought as large prints online.
These would make wonderful kitchen art!
Burning Man is a week-long annual event held in the Black Rock Desert in the United States. The event begins on the last Monday in August, and ends on the first Monday in September, which coincides with the American Labor Day holiday. The 2012 Burning Man Festival took place between August 27 and September 3. It takes its name from the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening. The event is described by many participants as an experiment in community, art, radical self-expression, and radicalself-reliance.[1][2][3][4] Burning Man is organized by Black Rock City, LLC. In 2010, 51,515 people attended Burning Man.[5] 2011 attendance was capped at 50,000 participants and the event sold out[6] on July 24. In April 2011, Larry Harvey announced that the organization had begun the process of transitioning management of the festival over to a new non-profit called the "Burning Man Project".
Even though you may believe everything Google tells you, these images are not real. Yes, Google glitches sometimes. Funny thing is, many people still do believe that these glitches are actual photographs taken of actual places. Just imagine! The communists most love showing these to their civilians with captions, "See? Our roads aren't nearly as bad as theirs!"
Screw democracy, right? ;)
