Playing Pretend Hollywwod Edition: Marilyn Monroe If you’re an actor, playing pretend is pretty much your everyday routine, so in order to stand out, you really have to do it big time.Marilyn Monroe arguably is the sex symbol that overshadowed all others last century, so she really needn’t go into that kind of game, but she did it anyway.

Asya Schween - My Own Self Larry Berman and Chris Maher, writers for Shutterbug magazine, first discovered the work of Asya Schween right here on our Nikon Talk forum.

Tattooing in North Africa, The Middle East and Balkans by Lars Krutak Tattooing in North Africa, The Middle East and Balkans Article © 2010 Lars Krutak Among the Kabyle, women, as mothers and guardians of the family, were obliged to perform “all the tasks concerned with protecting things that grow and shoot [up], that are green and tender. It [was] a women’s duty to watch over the growth of the young [children] and young animals.” But they were also seen as a social danger being susceptible to the machinations of evil spirits (jnoun) who could steal the life of their children as easily as that of their husbands.
