| Obsessed Cristiano Ronaldo Fan Spends Thousands to Look Like His Idol Posted: 10 Aug 2015 05:06 AM PDT Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has millions of fans all around the world, but none as dedicated as 17-year-old Shanta. The Danish teenager has spent thousands of dollars in a bid to emulate his idol. For starters, Shanta goes by the last name 'Ronaldo'. He copies the ex-Manchester United player's fashion sense, wearing clothes as similar to Ronaldo’s as possible, buying all his football shirts and getting the same haircuts. He has also made five trips to Madrid this year alone, just to meet Real Madrid’s star. |
| This 87-Year-Old Woman Loves Painting Houses and She’s Incredibly Good at It Posted: 10 Aug 2015 02:47 AM PDT They say age is just a number, and Agnes Kasparkova, a grandmother from the Slovakian village of Louka, in South Moravia, is a perfect example.

Agnes Kasparkova retired from her work in agriculture 30 years ago, and has been painting houses ever since. Despite her frail hands, she manages to brighten up every building she works on with intricate ultramarine designs. "I'm just doing what I like," she says, humbly. "I try to help decorate the world a bit." |
| Bubble Fingernails – The Crazy Fashion Trend Taking Over the Internet Posted: 10 Aug 2015 01:31 AM PDT Some fashion trends are so odd that they leave you wondering how they ever caught on. Take this latest ‘bubble nails’ craze – bulbous acrylic fingernails painted in a variety of colors and patterns. The technique has apparently been around since 2009, but has only gained popularity recently, after a series of photos went viral on Instagram. Due to the growing demand, beauticians are having to teach themselves the art, through trial and error. They start by placing a ball or multiple balls of acrylic at the center of the nail, and builds it out by adding layers. Then, they paint it as per the customer's choice. |
