| Remember the Facekini? Chinese Inventor Launches 4th Generation of Bizarre Anti-Tanning Mask Posted: 28 May 2015 06:59 AM PDT The curious case of the bizarre facekini strikes again! In case you don't remember, it's a nylon mask that covers the entire head, leaving holes only for the eyes, nostrils and mouth. The Chinese invention is meant to be used as beachwear, protecting wearers (mostly women) from sunburns and jellyfish stings. It first made an appearance in 2006, and the present "fourth-generation" avatar has managed to enter new levels of weirdness! |
| Never too Old for Art – Portugal’s Granny Graffiti Gang Posted: 28 May 2015 04:24 AM PDT Lata 65 is a highly unusual urban art workshop in Lisbon, Portugal, that teaches elderly women the basics of street art. Although graffiti is generally perceived as a part of youth culture, the workshop has introduced the quirky art form to over 100 senior citizens around the city. It gives groups of elderly women the chance to team up with prominent street artists and literally paint the town red. They bring color and charm to otherwise neglected and run-down neighborhoods, by making their own stencils and creating their own street tags. |
| Mother Still Breastfeeds Six-Year-Old Daughter, Plans to Do So Until She Is Ten Posted: 28 May 2015 02:39 AM PDT Six-year-old Amina Al Musa is a seemingly normal child: She goes to school and loves playing hide-and-seek. But her after-school snack is so unconventional that it has attracted media attention across the world. Amina happens to be breastfed by her mother every single day, and the little girl seems to love it! Extended breastfeeding is highly unusual in today's world, which is why Amina's case is making headlines. At age 52, her mother – belly dancing expert and human rights activist Maha Al Musa – is one of the oldest women in the world to be breastfeeding. Although she's garnering a lot of interest and some criticism, Maha says that she's only responding to her daughter's natural desire. |
