“Mr. Hitchcock taught me everything about cinema. It was thanks to him that I understood that murder scenes should be shot like love scenes and love scenes like murder scenes.”
“And the cursed pumpkin rose up from the earth, carried to the sky by the spirits of All Hallows’ Eve.” Or in other words, Andy put a superconductor in a pumpkin and levitated it on a magnetic track.
I know, Halloween is done. But Ri Science did some pretty amazing things with pumpkins that I thought you needed to see. If the levitation wasn’t enough, here’s some more:
In the top pumpkin, the reaction between iron oxide (rust) and aluminium powder, set off by a strip of magnesium to provide enough heat, produces iron and aluminium oxide.
The reaction is incredibly exothermic, occurring at about 2000 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the iron melts and is spewed out in a rain of fire, and flows out as a river of molten metal into the poor head below. This is more than enough to set off the gun cotton in the second pumpkin, which bursts into a healthy fireball.
Early steps in the fashion design process for production after a collection of influences had been found.
The first image shows design explorations within the same shape languages as the references, as well as open ideas for diversity. Not thinking too much about how it could be applied to the human figure.
Second image is an accumilation of first design ideas on a model with a focus on outer shapes /silhouette of the piece while sticking to the parameters.
Next step will be to narrow down the aspects that work well and are aesthetically pleasing to the recipient. I searched for more haute couture and will likely draw more inspiration from designers like Gareth Pugh, Haider Ackermann, Alessandra Marchi, Irina Chervenkova, Arzu Kaprol and Fendi.
These aren’t great pics, reblogging bc my friends and I were in NOLA last weekend (12/5/15) and there was tons of film equipment crowding the little French Quarter for this, they were shooting on Chartres St., near Jackson Square 😀 That fleur-de-lis on the car door is ubiquitous in that city. They even have it on the trash cans.
This compilation of Leslie Knope compliments is a little bit of a hot mess…much like our beloved Ann herself. I’ve never done this kind of text-collage thing before so it was quite a challenge!
I want to tell you a story, children… The story of Will and Fahr, meeting on Tumblr autumn 2012. The story of two people Roleplaying for hours on end, so they could be together, if only in a fantasy world. How they fell in love while being both in complete denial, one engaged to a boring guy they hardly felt anything for because they suppressed their true identity for years without telling anyone, surrounded by cynical people with no perspective. The other one struggling with their coming out and feelings too big to handle alone, searching for love at first sight for so many years, disappointed by most of their former encounters. They met, for the first time, already deeply in love, but committed otherwise, too afraid to even admit it. The story how they skated around each other for a year, so scared that they bro-zoned each other on several occasions. Breaking up with who they were seeing, jumping on the chance that the other MIGHT like them back. They didn’t even talk about it. They didn’t dare to. They just hoped. Saved up to see each other, one more time. Fahr promised herself, if this time he would get her hints, just one little hint, it would MEAN something and she would tell him how she felt. She was setting all her hopes on it. If only he would love her back. She was so scared the second time he came over, but she had to set it all on one card. And she did. And he did. He loved her back. He truly did. Her Thor, her Bae, he boyfriend.
Cliches aside, I am really happy that Will and I ended up together after being friends for so long. Love can happen, even online, even on Tumblr, even very late in life, when you don’t really wait for it anymore. So, if you are still solo, don’t give up. Your perfect partner just waits somewhere, desperate to meet you!
