Wichita, Kansas' 2nd Park Plan Cover, 1970s, Wichita.gov Like most things I write about here, urban beatification is not a new concept. The industrial revolution beckoned in an era of urban growth, and with it came the human desire to beautify the landscape around them. Charles Henry Caffin wrote an article entitled “Municipal Art” for Early Urban Beautification Plan for Chicago

The tiny village of Ilakaka, Madagascar had barely 40 residents before 1998. Then, a large deposit of sapphires was discovered along a nearby riverbed, and caught the eye of some Thai businessmen in the gem trade. Word got out, and Ilakaka swelled to tens of thousands of residents - the center of a sapphire boom, today the source of nearly 50% of all the sapphires in the world. Illegal miners mixed with large-scale operations, all operating under little or no regulation, in a wild-west atmosphere of potential fortunes, lawlesness, violence and hardship. In the years since, the easily-mined sapphire fields have been picked clean, and the remaining miners often work in deep holes, climbing far underground.

After all the ridiculous news recently about Polish people living in The Netherlands, I’m happy to share some cool stuff from our Eastern friends with you guys. These pants from Dream Nation are quite simply, awesome! And really comfy too. Dream Nation (also on facebook ) is based in Warsaw and their designs have lots of colourful patterns printed on bamboo fiber and organic cotton. Why organic cotton?
J'appréhendais. Je repoussais. Je reculais autant que possible ce moment douloureux : aller à la Sécu pour régulariser ma situation, en suspens depuis quatre longs mois déjà. Je me suis finalement résolue à m'y trainer aujourd'hui. Arrivée à la CPAM, stupeur totale . Une seule personne en attente avant moi, une autre aimable personne qui m'indique où ficher ma carte vitale, une attente d'à peine 7 minutes, un conseiller qui écoute patiemment ma situation et me dit que j'ai tout bien fait, des photocopies qui sont faites sur place par les employés de l'Assurance Maladie, des vieux bourgeois un peu bougons qui vous sourient sur le banc d'attente en sortant...
Sweet Sixteen - Ma Vie dans le XVIe

After subjecting Frederic Leighton to undignified speculation yesterday, his work is now ushered into the homoerotic environs of the Recurrent Pose Archive . These engravings are from a Leighton-themed edition of The Art Annual which is undated but which refers to The Sluggard as being a work in progress so that would date it to 1894 or 95. Despite throwing barbs at Leighton, I bought the bound copy of four issues mainly for the feature on the artist’s work and his extraordinary home. The three other artists represented—Millais in his horribly dull post- PRB phase, Alma-Tadema and Meissonier—can’t compete with Leighton’s academic flamboyance. Cymon And Iphigenia (1884) can be seen in all its splendour at the Google Art Project , not the only painting of Leighton’s where the depiction of drapery seems to be the principal concern. The figure caught in the Flandrin pose is robed and tucked away in the background.
Aujourd'hui, alors que je n'y pensais même plus, une de mes tentatives de drague complètement naze vient d'être révélée au monde entier. Il y a plus de dix ans j'avais sorti le grand jeu à... Lire la suite

Thierry Malandain fait fort : faire jouer la troupe du Malandain Ballet Biarritz dans la cour d’honneur des Invalides, et lui faire jouer Roméo et Juliette, la plus belle histoire d’amour de tout le temps. Affrontement entre Capulets et Montaigu, amour passionné et impossible… On reconnaît une histoire immortelle a la faculté que nous avons de l’aimer toujours, autant reprise qu’elle soit. Roméo et Juliette emerveille les foules, peu importe sa forme. Thierry Malandain le sait, mais sait aussi à quoi s’en tenir. Après s’être fait les pieds auprès de Tchaïkovski ou de Prokofiev, il préfère aujourd’hui s’attarder sur la version de Berlioz, souvent favorite. by macaronsettalonshauts in Art Tags: blogs beauté , cutbyfred.com , lesecretsdescoquettes , sara sabaté , tutoriel beauté , tutoriel coiffure , tutoriel maquillage , tutos beauté , tutos coiffure , tutos coiffures , tutos maquillage
Take a long, hard look at the picture above and the pictures below, and you’d swear that they were the works of a talented photographer; take an even closer look, you still wouldn’t doubt this cocksure belief. However, the picture above and the ones collected below were not captured by photographers, nor even by cameras: they were, in fact, captured on a canvas by a common-or-garden paintbrush and some dollops of oil paint. These are the works of Pedro Campos, a Spanish artist who specialises in photorealism, an art movement that attempts to depict everyday objects, the natural world and real-life human beings in the most hyper-realistic way possible, giving the viewer the impression that what they are looking at is nothing more than a typical photograph.
