Crazy hairstyles 2

For humans, a haircut, hairstyle or hairdo normally describes cutting or styling head hair, rather than other body hair such as facial, underarm hair, or pubic. Unlike other animals, human beings of many cultures cut their hair, rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair styles are often used to signal cultural, social, and ethnic identity. Hair styles in both men and women also vary with current fashion trends.

Some time ago I've posted in my blog something about Crazy & Hair.There I've put some pictures with some crazy haircuts.Now let's see more ...

Could this be named a hiarcut ?

Naughty tooth brush

The word naughty at one time was an all-purpose word similar to bad. During the 16th century one could use naughty to mean "unhealthy, unpleasant, bad (with respect to weather), vicious (of an animal), inferior, or bad in quality" (one could say "very naughtie figes" or "naughty corrupt water"). All of these senses have disappeared, however, and naughty is now used mainly in contexts involving mischief or indecency. This recalls its early days in Middle English (with the form noughti), when the word was restricted to the senses "evil, hostile, ineffectual, and needy." Middle English noughti, first recorded in the last quarter of the 14th century, was derived from nought, which primarily meant "nothing" but was also used as a noun meaning "evil" and as an adjective meaning such things as "immoral, weak, useless." Thus naughty, in a sense, has risen from nothing, but its fortunes used to be better than they are at present.

Let's be creative : Take 2 "naughty" tooth brush and let's see some action.

Mona Lisa around the world

Mona Lisa, or La Gioconda, is a 16th century oil painting on poplar wood by Leonardo da Vinci and is one of the most famous paintings in Western art history; few other works of art are as romanticized, celebrated, or reproduced. It is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

The painting shows a woman looking out at the viewer with what is described as an "enigmatic smile".

Now let's imagine that Mona Lisa goes around the world, and in every country she get a new look. :)

Beautiful Mammatus Clouds

Mammatus (also known as mamma or mammatocumulus) is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud, often a cumulus or cumulonimbus. Their color is normally a bluish gray, the same as that of the host cloud, but direct illumination from the setting sun and other clouds may cause a gold or reddish cast. Mammatus can persist anywhere from minutes to hours, diffusing and disappearing over time.

Mammatus only occur where cumulonimbus are present; however, they can drift up to 25 miles away from a thunderstorm. The atmosphere must also meet certain conditions, which include a moist and unstable middle to upper atmosphere over a very dry, lower layer of the atmosphere. An updraft then must occur, which shapes the mammatus into the pouch-like shape.

Most mammatus clouds are formed in the eastern United States during warm months, and rarely on the west coast of the U.S., but can also occur in mountain regions with dry conditions.

Mammatus has often been linked with the occurrence of tornadoes, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. Though tornadic storms often produce mammatus under their downwind anvil, many weak storms and even stratiform clouds also produce mammatus. Contrary to common misconceptions, mammatus are not precursors to tornadoes, but are a possible byproduct.

Super Fat Cat

The photo taken on Feb. 16, 2006 shows a super fat cat at Xu Jirong's home in Qingdao, a coastal city in east China's Shandong Province. Xu said his nine-year-old pet weighs 15 kilograms and that its "waist" measures around 77 centimeters, longer than a girl's. The cat likes meat but does not eat fish. It eats one steamed bread and half a bowl of chicken heart and some pork every day.

Maybe she is fat, but is so cute.

What is Guerrilla Marketing ?

The Guerrilla Marketing concept was created by Jay Conrad Levinson. It has become a phrase that has taken on the meaning of mean non-traditional, low-cost, highly effective marketing effort.It is up to the guerrilla marketer to be creative and devise unconventional methods of promotion.

Guerilla marketing can be as different from traditional marketing as guerilla warfare is from traditional warfare. Rather than marching their marketing dollars forth like infantry divisions, guerilla marketers snipe away with their marketing resources for maximum impact.
