Posted: 13 Mar 2012 02:20 PM PDT The Slovak town of Dunajska Streda has its own local superhero, Zoltan Kohari. Zoltan is a 26-year-old guy living in a derelict house without heat, water and electricity. He wanted to make a difference in his hometown so he equipped himself with an all-leather Batman suit and some homemade gadgets and started patrolling the streets. Although he doesn't fight criminals, he waters people's plants, trims various lawns, helps to clean up the local area by picking up trash and he also calls the police whenever he sees anything suspicious in the neighborhood. Local dwellers like Zoltan and sometimes give him food in return for his efforts. Photo credit: Radovan Stoklasa / Reuters |
Posted: 13 Mar 2012 02:08 PM PDT Dr. Charles H. McCaghy, a professor of sociology at Bowling Green State University, specializes in the study of deviance and his interest in the topic has led to a collection of materials documenting the history of stripping. These portraits of exotic dancers of the 19th century probably appeared scandalous at one time, but they are SFW. What is fascinating is that, outside of wearing corsets, these professional exotic dancers display the size and shape of average women who would never be offered a professional position in entertainment today.

Kaarina Kaikkonen Hangs Laundry to Create Art Posted: 12 Mar 2012 09:58 PM PDT Finnish artist Kaarina Kaikkonen gives new meaning to hanging your laundry out to dry, with her site-specific installations which use recycled secondhand clothing. According to the Liverpool Daily Post, the artist initially worked with men's jackets, shirts, and ties, finding inspiration from memories of her late father. In recent years, Kaikkonen has turned her attention onto the memory of her late mother, utilizing women's clothing and shoes. Via: environmentalart |
