I am sure you would willingly switch places with them any moment.

10 Places to Visit

stela — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:29:04 +0000

These are 10 places which you should visit. Heaven is a place on earth. If you are to judge by photos I am sure the first thought would be “Does this really exists?”. You will fell in love with photos, but the very sight will take your breath.

1. Wisteria Tunnel

Wisteria Tunnel is located at the Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Kitakyushu, Japan. Flowering trees hang overhead and the different colored rows speckle the garden.

2. Cinque Terre, Italy

The Cinque Terre is part of the coast in the Liguria region of Italy. The terraces built on the rugged landscape are a popular tourist attraction.

3. Hotel La Montaña Mágica

Magic Mountain hotel is exactly what you think it is. It’s a hotel shaped like a mountain that spews water from the top. It’s located in Huilo Huilo, a private Natural Reserve in the Los Rios region of Chile.

4. The Crooked Forest

The Crooked Forest is located right outside of Nowe Czarnowo, West Pomerania, Poland. The grove contains approximately 400 pine trees with bent trunks. They were planted sometime in 1939, but why or who made them crooked is unknown.

5. Tunnel Of Love

Giant trees surround this old train tunnel located in Kleven, Ukraine. The magical-looking place is nicknamed “The Tunnel Of Love” by locals because it is a popular spot for couples to visit.

6. Blue Lagoon Hot Springs

The Blue Lagoon hot springs in Iceland are man-made bodies of water, but the springs are heated naturally with the volcanic activity on the island. The springs are especially beautiful in the snowy winter, and the water still quite toasty.

7. Ice Canyon

The ice canyons in Greenland were carved by meltwater and are as deep as 150 feet.

8. Ball Pyramid

Ball Pyramid is the world’s tallest sea stack. It is the remains of a shield volcano formed about 7 million years ago. It is 562 meters high and is located southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean.

9. The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. It’s located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It’s so large, you can see it from outer space. The reef is a very popular destination for scuba divers and other tourists.

10. Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest national park in Southeast Europe and the largest park in Croatia. The park is filled with luscious green scenery, beautiful lagoons, and amazing waterfalls.

Disney Princesses Got Violated

stela — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:55:24 +0000

Disney Princesses violated in the series of Thomas Czarnecki photos. I find the series disturbing. I think if his focus was indeed to portray disturbing violence towards women in a negative light, there are much better ways to make the focus less ambiguous. Since there is no other present in the frame and the women are clearly dead or imprisoned, I am led to believe the artist is just portraying this for the sake of it, and not from some anti-rape ideal.

Most disturbing of the lot to me: Alice, seemingly tied up and killed in a basement, and Pochahontas. Pochahontas took it to a TOTALLY different (now including racism, open violence against women, misogyny) level of offense for me. The fact that she was the only woman in a photo with an Other, while simultaneously being treated as an animal, is extremely disturbing (and speaks to me of a deep racism issue here too, not to mention a severe misunderstanding of Native American culture and history.)

These just seem like glorified rape culture fueled snuff shots of young girls.

Alice – Just a Trap

Cinderella – Too Fast

The Little Mermaid – On the other Shore

Jasmine – One Last Wish

The Little Red Riding Hood – Happy End

Snow White – My Sweet Prince

The Beauty and the Beast – Not So Romantic

Pocahontas – One More Trophy

Sleeping Beauty – Naughty Girl

USA Vs. UK Driving Guide

stela — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:23:07 +0000

Driving can be very interesting, specially when you are comparing the roads. Inevitable is the police, countryside, drive-trues, roadside attractions and what all the drives fear the most traffic jams. Here is some USA Vs. UK driving comparator and you judge which roads would you prefer to drive.
1. For all those who are into fast ride, I think that they will prefer USA slow lorries. This one will never catch you. I would not take my chances with the UK Cops.

2. If you are up to enjoy the pleasant site while driving, UK is the absolute winner here.

When talking about drive-trues, here we have no winner, I don’t know would you prefer drunk people driving a coach or people giving you a finger!?

NASCAR is very popular, but I would not like one of those on my road. UK is an absolute winner here.

Expensive cars, UK seems to have the most expensive one.

Traffic jams, UK or USA I think it’s a draw.

I prefer Sean Connery to some redneck with a gun. UK you are playing dirty, here.

Well, here I would give my vote to USA it is much funnier.

Road trips can be interesting… this is up to you, some like driving, and for those USA is paradise and some like to take a short drive and they would say go UK….

Problems That Only Busty Girls Have

As much as many girls think that busty girls have been blessed, be sure that this is not such a pleasant thing. Caring a weight like that can cause many problems. When picking up bras, busty girls have many problems. I don’t know why but, somehow there are only ugly models for big sizes. And than, what is with all clothes, none is fitting for the girls with curves. If you have breasts, you should be naked all the time? Not easy living for the girls with big boobs.

2. The Counter Dilemma

3. Airplane Turbulence

4. The Motorboating Proposition

5. The Built-in Bra Issue

6. The Shoulder Strap Attack

7. The Dishwashing Dilemma
