Hair Tutorial: braided 'do I know I said I would post this hair tutorial yesterday, but obviously I'm a no good liar because today is not yesterday, it's today. This hairstyle is basically the same thing as milkmaid braids, only modified to up the volume and lessen the big part in the back. Pigtails or regular milkmaid braids make me look like I'm balding, as I have a wicked scar in the back of my head. I would recommend doing this in a mirror and checking the back to make sure it's all neat and tidy as you go, because I did not and it's a little (or a lot) messy in the back. I redid it before heading out and it looked much better, so make sure you use a mirror! What you need: dry shampoo or volumizing product (like the Sachajuan volume powder I often use) bobby pins brush If your hair needs added texture, you can use a dry shampoo. Pin the newly teased section (make sure the top layer is smooth, to cover the mess) with a couple (or more, if you need them) of bobby pins.

How to pick a co-founder Naval · November 12th, 2009 Update: Also see our 40-minute interview on this topic. Picking a co-founder is your most important decision. It’s more important than your product, market, and investors. The ideal founding team is two individuals, with a history of working together, of similar age and financial standing, with mutual respect. One is good at building products and the other is good at selling them. The power of two Two is the right number — avoid the three-body problem. One founder companies can work, against the odds (hello, Mark Zuckerberg). Two founders works because unanimity is possible, there are no founder politics, interests can easily align, and founder stakes are high post-financing. Someone you have history with You wouldn’t marry someone you’d just met. One builds, one sells The best builders can prototype and perhaps even build the entire product, end-to-end. The seller doesn’t have to be a “salesman” or “business guy”. Aligned motives required Don’t settle FAQs
BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning - Photographer I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.. Now its time for KOREA, TAIWAN AND TOKYO.

South Africa - Taxi Hit Squad | All The Wrong Places If you are shaking your booty in South Africa, specifically Johannesburg, you are most likely listening to House music. And in South Africa, Kwaito is their street-styles, unique local flavor of music, with heavy House and African rhythms and local dialects. From when it first hit the streets in the early 90s, Kwaito was so intensely popular in South Africa (the world’s House music market) they organized an entire awards ceremony just for it. And because the new Kwaito artists couldn’t get any airplay on the local radio stations, they decided to take their music to the people by using the hundreds of township taxis to promote their music. Taxi stands or Kombis, are the main source of public transportation in South African townships, since many residents can’t afford to own cars. Kwaito was the music that defined this new generation, but its popularity has waned in recent years and House music--what originally sparked the whole Kwaito scene–has now taken over again.
Faces of the World A Treasure Trove of Cosplay from the Swinging 1970s [NSFW] SExpand Did a quick search on the moth woman...Yeah. She's Valeria from an old early 70s stage play called Warp. It had costume designs by Neal Adams, and I believe it was created by Stuart Gordon and Bury St. Edmond (been a lot of years since I first heard of it). Also, I remember Wendy Pini had also played Red Sonja at conventions, alongside artist Frank Thorne (playing an old wizard), who drew the comic. 30 Habits that Will Change your Life Developing good habits is the basic of personal development and growth.

Lackadaisy Expressions Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
