Josh Meisters Battle of the Beards-Photography

Josh Meister hat letztes Jahr ein paar tolle Portraits der Teilnehmer am Battle of the Beards in Atlanta geschossen: “Beard growers from all over Georgia swarmed on the Highland Inn ballroom to have their beard judged by celebrity guest Kevin Gillespie. It was a sold out event with the line stretching around the block.”
Battle of the Beards, ein paar mehr gibt’s auf seiner Website (via Petapixel)
Bearded Photoshop-Ladies

Kellie von Freaking News hat mir grade deren neuesten Photoshop-Contest um bärtige Damen geschickt. Ich liebe die “Princeness” von Alicia Keyes und Lily Allens Hut!
The normal amount of body hair for women varies. Most of the time, a woman only has fine hair, or peach fuzz, above the lips and on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. Coarse, dark hairs in these areas, is the condition called hirsutism, normally caused by increased levels of male hormones. Latest studies at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) showed that the following factors can stagnate the levels of female hormones and increase the levels of male hormones for women: lack of sleep, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption. I may be wrong but does the above research imply that all the the chicks who like to party should eventually have beards on their faces?
Frank Zappa with Moustache made from his Hair made from his Moustache

Letzte Woche hatte ich über das Tumblelog Moustair gebloggt, Ihr wisst schon: „Guys with Moustaches made from their Hair made from their Moustaches“. Freaking News hat sich die Idee geklaut und die User dort haben über hundert Barthaargesichter geshopt. Der Zappa mit Schnurrizöpfen ist unbezahlbar und der Recursive Dumbledore auch.
Moustair! (Thanx Kellie!)

Pink Mustaches for Girls and the english Spies, who wanted to make Hitler a Woman
Toll! Pinke Schnurrbärte für Mädchen! (via Daniel) Dabei fällt mir die Story ein, die ich heute morgen beim Telegraph gelesen hatte: Spione wollten Hitler Estrogene ins Essen geben, um ihn weiblicher zu machen. Und das steht nicht in der Weekly World News sondern im konservativen britschen Blatt Telegraph.
Now it has come to light that British spies looked at an even more audacious way of derailing the man behind the German war machine – by giving him female sex hormones. Agents planned to smuggle doses of oestrogen into his food to make him less aggressive and more like his docile younger sister Paula, who worked as a secretary. Spies working for the British were close enough to Hitler to have access to his food, said Professor Brian Ford, who discovered the plot.
Sk8′n’Love: Arte Tracks über Hippie-Skater
(Youtube Direkt, via KFMW)
Arte Tracks über die New School of Hippies: Skater und Biker, psychedelic Art und Schnurris. Die komplette Sendung gibt’s noch auf Arte+7.
Die Treppen und Skate-Park-Gettos haben sie nun satt! Die Skater von Los Angeles lassen den Free Spirit der späten 1960er Jahre wieder aufleben. Richie Jackson, Patrick Melcher und Gareth Stehr heißen die hippigen, bikenden und bärtigen Mitglieder der Gang. Sie sind Profi-Skater, halten sich aber fern vom Skate-Business und setzen mehr auf Kunst und Schurrbart-Meisterschaften.
Den auch in hier vorkommenden Richie Jackson hatte ich vor einer ganzen Weile schonmal und weil der so wunderbar durch ist, hier nochmal das Video von damals:
Snip aus einem Interview:
I believe in psychedelicism. Not just psychedelic music, but everything. A psychedelic experience is characterized as the unveiling of perceptions previously unknown — the brain unfettered from its usual constraints. To me, it’s all there is, and certainly all that’s worth doing. I find no worth in that which doesn’t surprise. Anomalies, irregularities, deviation from the common rule — that is all I will ever care for.
