I created a project in order to change the common view about red haired people. They are quite often discriminated or bullied just because of their natural hair color and unusual features, such as freckles or pale skin.
Redheads, especially kids at school, are having hard times when others are making fun of them or calling them names just because of their hair. That’s why I wanted to show redheads and their beautiful features in a series of portraits called “The Ginger Project”.
I know that “ginger” might be offensive sometimes, but this is the reason I chose this name, so that every red-haired person would be able to say “I am ginger” and be proud of it. The project aims to change these stereotypes and to show how beautiful people are. Also, it encourages everyone to be proud of their uniqueness.

One day after announcing it would partner with equity crowdfunding site Fig, Harmonix took on $15 million in equity investment from 14 undisclosed partners, the Boston Business Journal reports.
The Securities and Exchange Commission form, filed on Sept. 4, notes a date of first sale of Aug. 24, more than a week before the announcement that Harmonix would launch a game on Fig's equity crowdfunding platform.
Polygon reached out to both Fig and Harmonix earlier this week and has yet to receive comment.
In May of last year Harmonix laid off 37 employees, and moved Alex Rigopulos, co-founder and at one time chief executive officer of the company, to his current position as chief creative officer. The partnership between Harmonix and Fig...

The Internet Yami- Ichi * is a free -to -attend flea market where people gather and exchange “Internet -ish” things in real life. Originating in the mysterious orient** the New York edition of the Internet Yami-Ichi will be the first in the United States and appropriately, the largest yet. Over 100 vendors will sell their stuff at Knockdown Center, a 50,000 square foot former door factory-turned arts space in Maspeth, Queens.
Online secret society IDPW organized the first Internet Yami-Ichi in Tokyo in 2012. Since then it has travelled to Berlin, Sapporo , Brussels , and Amsterdam . Past vendor items include glitch -embroidered clothing, Edward Snowden snow globes, and apps rejected by Apple. The Internet Yami-Ichi in New York coincides with the first ever WWyW (World Wide Yami Ichi Weeks), simultaneous markets in Taichung, Taiwan; Linz, Austria, and Seoul, Korea.
Flea markets and the Internet are both fanatical and chaotic mixes of the amazing and the useless. In the Internet Yami-Ichi the wills and desires which brought us online are salvaged into a social exchange celebrating the Internet, in the real world.
The Hunter is the primary character of Bloodborne. He has a bit of a pirate look with a tricorn, a long coat, and tall boots, and he carries a giant cleaver and a blunderbuss. Obviously. Cosplayer Makeshiftwings was so excited about the game she made a replica of the character’s costume for Dragon Con this year. She explains what materials and patterns she used to craft each piece of the costume at Cosplay.com:
The gloves are a lightweight faux leather. I modified a pattern I found online. The vambrace is veg-tan leather, tooled, dyed, and finished with beeswax. Straps attach with snaps. The gold detail is Worbla, primed with filler primer and spray painted gold.
The hat is made from wet-formed veg-tan leather. It’s dyed with Fiebing’s. I used sandpaper to distress the ends. I made a write-up for it here: http://makeshiftwings30.tumblr.com/post/126349960834/bloodborne-hunter-hat
The saw cleaver blade is EVA foam covered in worbla. The marks on the blade are etched in with a dremel. The handle is PVC pipe with wood for the part that holds onto the blade. It’s painted with both spray paint and acrylics. The bandages are muslin, coffee-stained and dry brushed with acrylics. The thin wraps on the handle are some kind of cording I found at Joanns. Then the whole thing got a coat of fake blood.
The hunter pistol is also EVA foam covered in worbla. All the details are worbla as well.
25-year-old Gayle Newland of Willaston, Cheshire is on trial in the UK for five counts of sexual assault against her female friend—according to the alleged victim, Newland pretended to be a Filipino-Latino man named Kye Fortune, developed a relationship with the woman over the internet and on the phone, and later had sex with her on several occasions with a prosthetic penis while the woman was blindfolded.
A homeopathy conference in Germany ended regrettably early when 29 people accidentally took “an LSD-like drug” called Aquarust and had to be rushed to the hospital, according to reports. The homeopaths were rescued after they were seen rolling around in a field near their hotel, gibbering incoherently.
But would he have done the same for a cat? … More »
