Cool

Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse lives in the Netherlands and is what cool hep swing dancing cats call a 'lifestyler.' That is, she chooses to live in a specific period, down to the music and entertainment (in some cases.) Jo chooses to live in that precious era between the two great European conflicts we call world wars. Check out her cool old school life down to the record player and the bicycle.

These covers are just funny. I can't believe some executive somewhere Ok'd any of these.

The video has been up since July and PSY, the creator of Gangnam Style, has gotten over 600 million Youtube views. Psy and Gangnam style are a sensation that has swept the world and as such it is only fitting that we start seeing just what kind of impact has been made. 

From coffee, to body art, PSY has definitely left his mark on us. Check it.

When I travel I like to find the tastiest food I can't eat at home. Sometimes this can lead to fun adventures and sometimes it just leads to my travel partner's family home.

Should you find yourself in Hawaii here are some excellent local dishes you should try. If you can, make it out to a Luau and try these dishes there. Especially the pork.

Ke$ha was recently seen out in public with no hair dye, no glitter, no makeup, no metallics, and no animal print. It's a pretty good look for her, I think (not that her usual look isn't).

Let's say you just kicked off the school year with the most massive rager since Snoop Dog played at Frank's release party. Well you would have a ton of cans and bottles and if you were awesome and motivated like these cats from Rio de Janeiro, well, you probably would have made these huge recycled bottle fish. Check them out. They are a a testament to the amount of waste we create as humans. And they are pretty spectacular.

If you happen to be in Costa Rica for a week or two and need a place to crash that is environmentally conscious as well as emmaculately designed using natural construction materials, look no further than the Casa Atrevida designed by the Luz de Piedra Arquitectos firm in Costa Rica.

Dead City (Iultin Russia) Iul'tin is a former urban-type settlement in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, part of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia. The population is now 0, but only twenty years ago it was 3,120 (1989 Census).

52 year old, UK designer, Jane Steed, fell in love with this cosy cottage on her first visit to it and decided there and then that it was the perfect home for her small family. But this house has one feature...

People prepare jars of jam, juice, fruit and vegetables for winter. But the family from Stavropol (Russia) make jars of something different. They even got arrested for this stuff. You won't believe, what they were making.

Russian houses inside are mostly grey and dull. People have nothing interesting to see there when they come back home. An artist from Astrakhan Boris Chernichenko decided to change this situation and now the eight storey building where he lives looks so good inside!

Recently we've seen lots and lots of costumes. But we haven't seen german costumes. Here they are...
