Kelly would have liked this so much.

Xavi Lozano is a Spanish musician who can transform any object into a musical instrument. In this video you’ll see him playing a decidedly ordinary section of fence that he turned into an awesome flute.

Except, today, in Dover, Delaware, they’d blow down the sidewalk before you could grab your hat pins!

These need to come back in style!

pleincrazy:

Welcome to Plein Crazy! Here’s a Tumblr about plein air painting. We’ll take submissions of your photos & tips about plein air painting that YOU CREATE. Only original material, please. It would be great if you could tag your location, too. We like to see painters painting, especially, along with photos of the scene and of course photos of the finished work.

Also, notices of shows, workshops or contests would be very helpful!

If you follow me, you should follow this, too. Because I am the mistress of this new Tumblr. My friend, Gary, suggested that as a Plein Air painter - that I am PLEIN CRAZY, - I thanked him & told him I was going right to Hover to buy the domain. And I did. Now, it is a Tumblr custom domain ( http://pleincrazy.me/ ) that takes submissions of your own plein air photos, paintings and news. Let ‘er rip.

Who is that cheerful man with the adorably double-braided beard and why is he dressed up as a Japanese schoolgirl? Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft has the scoop: This is Hideaki Kobayashi and he’s known (and rightfully so) as “Sailor Suit Old Man.”

Recently, Japanese sites and Twitter users in Tokyo have spotted an old guy dressed in a sailor style school uniform—a truly unusual sight to behold. People were amused. People were baffled. What the hell was going on?!

Japanese site IT Media met Kobayashi and asked him the question on everyone’s mind: Why do you dress like a Japanese schoolgirl?

“That’s a difficult question,” said Kobayashi. “It’s not really something I’ve thought too deeply about. Hrm. I guess it’s because sailor suits look good on me?”

We hope Mr. Kobayashi has some inkling of just how awesome he is. We can’t stop smiling as we look at these photos. Head over to Kotaku to learn more about “Sailor Suit Old Man,” our new hero of Japanese weirdness.

Oh, my! NO! The pink ribbons in his beard are just too much! He is so happy!

cuntessa:

The Armour-Stiner House, also known as the Carmer Octagon House, Irvington, NY — a unique octagon-shaped and domed Victorian style house built in 1859-1860 by financier Paul J. Armour. The octagon style has been referred to as the brain house, and rightfully so. Before he designed houses, architect Orson Fowler practiced phrenology, the study of the skull’s bumps and contours to determine one’s character.

Aka my dream house! I’ve always loved Octagons and I LOVE Victorian houses so much so this is amazing!

I have to plan a trip to see this!
