The 25 Most Inspiring Bombshells Of All Time
From the o.b. (that's original bombshell, to you) Brigitte Bardot to her modern day counterparts, we've rounded up the crème de la crème of bodacious broads, so be sure to click through and let us know who you like best.

Much like her counterpart Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield was blonde and bodacious—who can forget that amazing photo of Mansfield and Loren?—albeit not quite as famous. A self-proclaimed pin-up, Mansfield was known for her legendary 40-21-35 silhouette and multi-faceted talents: she was a singer (Jimi Hendrix played on her 1965 single "As The Clouds Drift By"), actress (film and theater), and even had a revue in Vegas. Just think of her as one of the first multi-tasking bombshells.

Between her ultra-hourglass figure, violet eyes, and voracious appetite for fine jewels, there's nothing about Elizabeth Taylor that's not bombshell-y. We especially like the fact that the legendarily passionate actress was beautiful and quite brainy too—a fabulous combination, to be sure.

The Italian star is generally considered one of the world's most gorgeous and talented actresses—and we'd have to agree. She once said "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti," referring to her feminine figure, an argument for carbs if we've ever heard one.

Known for sultry songs like "C'est Si Bon" and "Santa Baby," not to mention the fact that she played Catwoman on the late '60s TV show Batman, Eartha Kitt is a cult favorite and a beautiful bombshell of the highest order.

The French actress, model, and singer—if you don't already own her duet with Serge Gainsbourg "Bonnie and Clyde," download it immediately—just might be the original blonde bombshell. While her kiss-me lips and traffic-stopping curves were certainly noteworthy, the star of the 1956 cult film And God Created Woman knew a thing or two about fashion too. Just ask Kate Moss, who's cribbed from Bardot's style sheet for years.

If you've ever seen Fellini's La Dolce Vita, you know why Anita Ekberg's on this list. The voluptuous Swedish actress stole the film when she plays around in the Trevi Fountain wearing a décolletage-and-back-revealing black gown. A public fountain's never seemed so sexy—nor will it again, we'd imagine.

Before Lindsay Lohan, Christina Hendricks, and Jessica Rabbit, there was another captivating, curvaceous redhead: Ann-Margret. The Stockholm-born singer-turned-actress had a sexy sound that matched her voluptuous good looks and was courted by Elvis—a man known for being a bit of a bombshell expert—at the start of her massive career. In addition to being a babe, Ann-Margret is probably the only "sex kitten" who has five Golden Globes, an Emmy, and was nominated for two Oscars.

Prior to her '70s shag haircut, the workout video empire, and even that Mickey Avalon song, Jane Fonda was first known for her coquettish allure. The babe of Barbarella was all flirty lashes and bouffant-y locks—not to mention an out-of-this-world body.

Though she had fewer than five lines in the 1966's One Million Years B.C., Welch was such a looker, they used an image of her in a deerskin bikini on the movie poster—an image that's now legendary. The Chicago-born, La Jolla-raised beauty was definitely one of the era's most popular sex symbols, and it's not hard to see why.

In the '80s and '90s, no one was bigger than Cindy. The Illinois-raised girl put the super in "supermodel," rocketing to fame with her healthy, hourglass figure, world-renown beauty mark, and fondness for jaw-dropping Versace dresses. (And remember when she was married to Richard Gere? Yeah, that.) Need more proof of her foxiness? Two ideas: check out George Michael's "Freedom '90" video or her iconic Pepsi commercial from 1992. Both are legendary.

Of all her supermodel peers—Crawford, Campbell, Evangelista, Turlington—Schiffer might be the most famous. Her career is certainly still relevant; the German model remains a fashion world favorite, and continues to get major contracts (L'Oreal cosmetics) and editorials (last year Vogue photographed her and she appeared in the Karl Lagerfeld-shot Chanel Little Black Jacket). We'll always have a soft spot for the blonde beauty, especially those '90s Guess ads. Remember her bangs and lace bustier? They were seriously major.

Sultry doesn't even begin to cover it when it comes to Italian actress Monica Bellucci. A longtime, major star in Europe, Bellucci first caught America's attention in 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and cemented the fascination via her global campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana (she's the designers' longtime muse).

Mexican actress Selma Hayek may be tiny, but she clearly has a surplus of charisma and talent to boot. Her curvaceous figure, enormous eyes, spitfire spirit were totally charming in back in 1995, when we first saw her in Robert Rodriguez's Desperado, and she's only gotten better with time.

Google "Angelina Jolie lips" and you'll get a staggering 21 million plus results: pretty impressive especially if you consider that the actress' kisser is just one of her many formidable assets. Though Jolie's a UN Goodwill Ambassador and mother of six, thanks to her early days on the Hollywood scene—when she was all about skintight leather pants and playing gun-toting beauties—she'll always be a badass bombshell in our books.
Photo:Jim Spellman/WireImage
As the daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and former model, muse, and Playmate Bebe Buell, the fact that Liv Tyler is stunning is shocking to no one. And while she doesn't flaunt her statuesque frame as overtly as some of her fellow bombshells, she's still got curves galore, gorgeous milky skin, and a mouth made for magazine covers.
Photo:Ian Gavan/Getty Images
If you haven't seen Green's debut performance in Bernardo Bertolucci's 2003 film The Dreamers, you might not know why she's on this list of iconic bombshells. But anyone who is that flawless and fearless—and the French actress is unquestionably both—deserves to be celebrated. There's something about Green that's slightly dangerous and indubitably intriguing, no wonder why she was a brilliant Bond girl.
She looks like a pocket-sized pinup model and talks with an old Hollywood throaty purr that makes her sound wise beyond her years. Even better: Johansson's got enough edge—including a couple of tattoos and a former septum piercing—to intrigue anyone.
Photo:Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images
Any woman who can turn a striptease into an art performance and single-handedly bring burlesque back into conversation is definitely a bombshell. Oh and did we mention the fact that Von Teese also always has the perfect red lip, polished retro curls, and an impossibly tiny waist? She's vampy, in the best possible way.
There's something seriously retro and completely divine about Eva Mendes' beauty. With her chestnut mane, the dainty mole on her left cheek, and figure that looks like it was made for bandage frocks, she continues to captivate film audiences and the fashion world (her Calvin Klein Underwear ads from Fall 2009 were seriously steamy) alike.
Photo:Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images
After years of impossibly waif-y models, Lara Stone helped curves become chic again in a big way. The charmingly gap-toothed Dutch model made a huge splash in 2009 and has been the face of Calvin Klein in various capacities (including cosmetics, fragrance, as well as the ready-to-wear campaigns) for a number of years. While she's just taken some time off to have a baby, we have a feeling her comeback is going to be spectacular.
Photo:Kevin Mazur/WireImage
The woman who gave us the word "bootylicious" certainly needed to be included on this list. We challenge anyone to watch the singer's 2003 "Crazy In Love" video and not be awed by both Bey's formidable talent and the way she works a pair of jean shorts. She's been teaching the world how to strut, bounce, and pop as a solo artist for the past decade, but somehow we have a feeling the girl's just getting started.
Photo:Jim Spellman/WireImage
If "California bombshell" was an actual entry in the dictionary, we have a hunch Blake Lively's picture would be next to it. With her wildly enviable, honey blonde hair, sun-kissed skin, and endless legs, Lively is basically a living Barbie and a babe on every level. The fact that she can crack an egg with one hand and whips up pastry like a pro when she's not making movies? We. Are. Smitten.
Photo:Ben Gabbe/WireImage
Blonde of hair and bold of brow, Heard is one of the few actresses of her generation who actually looks like the sort of "w-o-m-a-n" Peggy Lee once sang about. Another reason why this modern day dame deserves a spot on this list? She's a Guess girl, much like the equally dishy Claudia Schiffer, Carla Bruni, and Carre Otis.
Photo:Ben Pruchnie/Getty Images
They say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so when your dad is rock legend Mick Jagger and your mom is former model Jerry Hall, there's a good chance that you're going to be a knockout. It's certainly the case for blonde British bombshell Georgia May Jagger. The youngest of the Jagger and Hall clan, 21-year-old Georgia has already embraced her inner goddess, and is vamping it up for brands like Rimmel, Hudson Jeans, and H&M on a regular basis.
Photo:Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images
This cover girl is, without question, the curviest girl in fashion and a true modern day bombshell. Not that we'd expect anything less that the stunner who performed "Cat Daddy" to such devastating effect for Terry Richardson. With Vogue and ELLE covers under her belt—not to mention a couple of Sports Illustrated covers too—it makes sense that she's being courted by Hollywood. Upton's shooting Nick Cassavetes' new movie with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann right now—and we have a hunch she's going to steal the show…

Most of the road rash is healing nicely, but a huge football-sized bruise manifested itself on my left thigh on Thursday. I'd call it a Mystery Bruise, but its origin is no mystery. Again, I'll spare you the photos of that mess. I'm still a bit sore, especially on my deeper scrapes, but they will go away soon... I hope.
A good friend of mine donated a helmet to the cause. It's a typical recreation helmet, but every bit as comfy as the Bell Solar I had before. Anything with a CPSC sticker is fine in my book! It has a detachable visor. I'm usually not a fan of those, but it holds my Take-A-Look mirror better than the helmet tab I was using before, so it may stick around.
I actually got back on the bike on Friday with a round-trip commute. I got about 20 miles in over the weekend, and had a nice ride to work this morning as well.
As far as the bike goes, everything looks to be in good shape. I found a few deer hairs in the steerer crown and fender when I removed the fork to examine it closely. The carbon fork appears to be un-damaged. I'm not sure I trust it, though. When carbon fails, it fails spectacularly!
So, I'm on the prowl for a caliper-compatible steel or aluminum road touring fork with front-rack eyelets. It would pretty much complete my bike as a do-all tourer/commuter. It looks like Surly's Long Haul Trucker fork would work. I wonder if those Cantilever bosses are removable...

A few rides later, feeling alright.

I don't know about the canti bosses. I think they're fixed on there. Of course, "removable" is relative ...
I wonder how the LHT fork would affect the geometry/handling of your bike. Also, you might need a long-pull brake to use calipers with the LHT fork, there's quite a bit of clearance between the fork and the tire. An advantage would be the ability to run wider, tires, if you want.
Another option would be to get a fork that doesn't have canti bosses and use p-clamps or something similar to attach a rack. Not as slick, admittedly, but it would open up your fork options quite a bit.
Keep in mind that I am horrible at working on bikes, so I'm really just guessing here ...

Sorry, by "Caliper" I mean "My current crown-mounted Shimano 105 road caliper"
I have no interest in switching to cantilever, V-brake or disc brakes on my bike. I'd like it if I could just drop a new fork on it and call it good. The Surly fork does seem to have some rake to it, but I'd need to do the measurements to see if it actually puts the axle in a noticeably different spot.

It's here where you need a friendly LBS with a deep parts bin (or the parts in question in stock and willing to break 'em out for testing).

Good news! Both the LHT and the Trek 1200 have a 45mm rake. I just need to see if the Axle-to-crown measurement is the same. Of course, then I need to save up a bunch of money for buying said fork.

It looks like everything is getting back to normal. I'm glad for you.
- June 28, 2010 6:34 PM
- Dave Lloyd said...
You might try the Pacer fork instead of the LHT fork. It's more likely to be close to the brake reach you currently have. Alternately, check out the Rivendell carbonomas fork. $115 if you send 'em your current fork.
The Soma fork also looks pretty nice:
Tange also sells road forks as does Dimension (probably made in the same factory as the Surly forks).

I know we're all Seahawks fans and I'm sure we would all say we'd stay a Seahawk as a backup but Baldwin doesn't have "fan loyalty" like that to Seattle and his agent definitely doesn't. He needs to, and will look out for his own best interest, which means going to a team to be a starter.
Tate is entering his contract year. If he has a big year, he will want to get paid, and with the salary cap there isn't a prudent way to keep 3 high priced WRs so someone (Rice or Tate) would have to go. It would be easier to withstand the blow of losing one of them next year if we have Baldwin on a cheap RFA tender to step back into the starting lineup.

QUIP: A woman told me that her mother-in-law always cleaned out her kitchen drawers by giving her utensils she thought she'd never use again but, her mother-in-law would "gift" them with a caveat, "Now, hang onto it, because if I ever do need I'll have to borrow it back!"
Needless to say, this woman had a drawer full of things she knew nothing of, like the gadget pictured above in the center, which she sent me to identify.
TIP: I like your mother-in-laws way of thinking and recommend using it, but only with people you know will keep your stuff and will lend it back if need be!
It's a great way to de-clutter your own home and to relieve yourself of the responsibility of remembering where the heck you put something! The down side is as receiver of such items, you may not know what they are used for. Such is the case for this red-handled slicer, because one needs to look carefully at the blades to see which kind of cutter it is.
If the blades are smooth, it's designed to cut cheese and eggs. However, if the blades are serrated that one is designed to cut the skin of a tomato and other tough-skinned vegetables.
Slicers such as this were quite popular at one time and as such, are still pretty easy to find and at or below the $10 mark on the internet and lower - $1 to $2 - at garage sales or Goodwill.
If you do a bit of thin slicing of tomatoes and other things, it's a great time saver and most importantly, easy to clean, which is likely why it was so popular in its day!

Black Sesame Steamed Buns / Paus (黑之麻包)
Oh well, back to my purpose here..hehe! My post today is Steamed Buns/ Paus . My mum gave me a box of red beans paste last weekend which was made by her. I always like her red beans paste, not so sweet and oily but just nice for my buns.
Then I've adapted a new found recipe of steamed buns. Its super soft and fluffy. Trust me, its really good!
Instead of plain ones, I've added some black sesame into the dough. Oh I love the aroma of the black sesame, and it matches the paste so well..:) But my hubby's reaction was like...."Eeee, they look so dirty"!!!...LOL Anyway he still eat without complain..haha!
Okay, recipe ......adapted from the book Don Yong~ Celebrity Chef Cookbooks
150g Pao flour (low gluten flour)
150g plain flour
15g double baking powder
8g black sesame powder
9g instant yeast
80g sugar
150g cold water
30g shortening
350g red bean paste (might not need that much)
~ Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixer with a dough hook at low speed until well blended.
~ Add in water slowly until dough forms. Mix at low speed for about 2 minutes.
~ Add in shortening and mix on medium speed for about 6 minutes until dough is half developed.
~ Transfer dough onto a flour-dusted work surface and round up. Cover and leave to proof for 45 minutes. (texture after 45 mins was like the picture shown above)
~ Roll out dough and fold into half and roll again, repeat this 6-8 times until the dough is smooth.
~ Leave dough for 15 mins and divide into 30g or 40g pieces. (depends individual)
~ Round up and leave dough pieces for another 10 mins.
~ Roll out each piece of dough and wrap in fillings.
~ Sealed tight and place on a baking paper.
~ Arrange the buns in a steamer at least 2cm apart and prove for 30 minutes.
~ Steam on high heat for 12-15 mins.
Well, this recipe is easy and takes a short time to prepare compared to the last one I did. I like all the recipes I tried, and I'll continue looking for more steaming buns recipe.
Have a peep at the texture below....nice!

Delicious buns! gloriaReplyDelete
Hi there, I love steamed buns a lot & yours look really nice & fluffy. Slurp....ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Gloria & Kristy,ReplyDelete
Thank you! Hope you ladies will try it out too..:)
Instead of 8g black sesame seed powder, what can I replace it with?
Hi delphine,ReplyDelete
If you don't like the black sesame powder, you can just ignore it and add less water, lets say 145g cold water instead. But just remember to add the water slowly while kneading into a dough. You may have to adjust the amount of water due to the dryness of the flour.
If you find this is too troublesome, maybe you can have alook at my other plain pau recipe.....
Happy Baking!!

ssmith500 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 221 designs submitted by 77 freelance designers.
I'm looking for a simple clean logo for Autumn Creek Portaits.
Autumn Creek Portraits
I'm open to different ideas, but my current thought is a logo with script letters with some sort of leaf collection. Maybe a group of three leaves with fall color (shades of red & orange). I don't have a current ideas, but a logo with a creek theme could also work or a combination of creek, leaves and/or trees... but not too busy.
- Item 1... A logo that will look very sharp printed on white packaging boxes or white gift bags. The script letters with the redish-orangish leave patterns should pop.
- Item 2... Multi layer photoshop file.
- Item 1... busy logo.

One of my Mother's Day gifts was this book, The Great American House by Gil Schafer. I've been eying it for months... but since it is not available on the ipad, I hadn't gotten around to getting it for myself.
There are a million reasons why I love this book and the style that Mr. Schafer presents - but mostly, I love that the book is all about embracing modern living and making it work with true American style. He designs home with large mudrooms and open kitchens that feel like they were built 100 years ago.
As we're planning our addition, it is something I've been struggling with as we interview contractors and architects... I don't want our house too look or feel like a brand new house. I want it to have the charm and character of an old house that has a history.
A couple of months ago I posted my sketches of our vision. I got great feedback from all of you and have made adjustments accordingly. The biggest addition to the addition as been that of a large mudroom and dry storage, and a studio for me.
THIS is exactly how I want our kitchen table and hearth area to be... french doors and all. In fact, I love everything - the beamed ceiling, and the paneled fireplace with a stone inset.
I love the stone floor and the dutch door of this mud room.
I wish we had room for a barn : )
Again, these are just my own preliminary sketches and ideas... I'd love your input!

Ogilvy on AdvertisingDavid Ogilvy
Although this book is decades old, it still offers significant insights into the world of promotional advertising. It will give the reader a foundation from which modern advertising may be easier to understand and employ.
Positioning: The Battle for Your MindAl Ries & Jack Trout
Brand building, product marketing, and even retail marketing may all boil down to how your business is positioned. This classic book deals with the challenges of marketing "to a skeptical, over-communicated public."
Likeable Social MediaDave Kerpen
This book seeks to deliver on the promise that a recommendation from someone a shopper knows and trusts (like a social friend) can do more to promote a product or a retailer than thousands spent on advertising.
Neuromarketing: Understanding the Buy Buttons in your Customer's BrainPatrick Renvoise & Christophe Morin
Renvoisé and Morin deal with the science of making a sale. They go into deep analysis of how the human brain responds to advertising and marketing, and gives merchants a better understanding of how to influence customers.
Your Customer Creation EquationBrian Massey
This book is a guide to improving your site's conversion rates. It is one thing to get site visitors, it is quite different to get those visitors to make a purchase.
Conversion: The Last Great Retail MetricMark Ryski
Site analytics can tell an ecommerce marketer a lot about how visitors are interacting with a site, with products, or with offers, but it is the sales metric — the conversion metric — that matters most.
Influence: The Psychology of PersuasionRobert B. Cialdini
This book describes the psychology of selling. Why is it that people say yes? Cialdini uses data from several years of study to give you the answer.
Power StoriesValerie Khoo
This book explains why storytelling is the ultimate tool for business success, and reveals the 8 stories that every online business owner should tell.
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without ThinkingMalcolm Gladwell
Although Blink is not specifically a business or success book, it describes why some things just seem right. It encourages the reader to begin to trust his own instincts. The book can have a profound impact on how an entrepreneur thinks and acts.
Purple CowSeth Godin
It's important to stand out. In Purple Cow, Godin describes how being a remarkable business — which admittedly doesn't sound easy — is the key to standing out in today's marketplace.
Extreme Productivity: Boost Your Results, Reduce Your HoursRobert Pozen
This guy is the king of productivity. Entrepreneurs often face the challenge of building a small business while still working a job. Pozen once held two jobs — lecturer at Harvard Business School and president of Fidelity Management — while writing professional. Here he asks the reader to set career goals, objectives, and targets, prioritizing each.
Wait: The Art & Science of DelayFrank Partnov
Is your business moving at a pace similar to the messages streaming through a Twitter account or does it move more like a glacier? Partnoy describes the decision making process in the context of the pace of your business.
The Design of Everyday ThingsDonald A. Norman
First, businesses discovered quality as a key competitive edge, next came service. Now, Donald A. Norman reveals how smart design is the new competitive frontier. This book is a powerful primer on how--and why--some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
Don't Make Me ThinkSteve Krug
This is a common sense approach to web usability and is an essential read for anyone who designs, writes, programs, owns or manages online stores.

I will add to this list "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. It is the single book that has inspired me to do what I love without wavering. A guide post in life.
January 29 2013, 09:23AM
Many thanks for the kind shout-out Mark! I'm glad you enjoyed Return On Influence.
January 29 2013, 09:23AM
Chris: YES – such a good book. I read that a couple years ago and have been meaning to give it a re-read.
January 29 2013, 09:52AM
Solid list, especially the Ariely, Trout, Ries, and Cialdini inclusions. All are great authors for marketers. I would add another great marketing book, "Different" by Harvard marketing professor, Youngme Moon. In it she presents a new paradox for differentiation by using case studies of some of the most successful companies in the world.

January 30 2013, 04:22AM
Great list. I can highly recommend 'influence'. It's one of those books that reveals strategies you've seen in play many times and gives you a toolkit to implement them yourself.
Don't make me think is also top notch. A classic must read for usability.

Hi Mark -
Thanks for including me on this list! It's a great selection.
The books that most inspired in my early days are Ogilvy on Advertising, Positioning, and Purple Cow. They set the big picture that all the rest is built on.

We've all read this book at iCollection Shop called Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose by Tony Hsieh. Its fantastic and has some amazing ideas about how to increase sales and really go that extra mile with your customers.
July 26 2013, 11:29PM
Seems like you have quite a few neuromarketing books on this list. May I recommend a new on that just came out this year – Sales Seduction.
It's brilliantly written and best of all it makes it very easy for a layperson to take the insights and apply them to any message, product/service or customer.
I think the author may be based in Australia… but the book seems to be available at Amazon, iTunes, B&N etc so it's pretty easy to get a copy.

So if this blog post is about sales – WHY ARE THERE NO SALES BOOK LISTED?
If you are selling a product to businesses (not B2C Sales) then at an absolute minimum you should read:
- SPIN by Neil Rackham – the best selling sales book ever written. The best parts of the book are pages 67-98.
– Customer Centric Selling by Mike Bosworth + his work on how to respond to an RFP: http://flylib.com/books/en/2.327.1.51/1/
– Smart Calling by Art Sobczak – full of great tips on how to sell over the phone
- Selling to Big Companies by Jill Konrath
Read these books and you'll be 10X the sales person you were before you read these book.
Happy Selling!
January 14 2014, 02:51AM
Nice lists of books. I read the "Likeable Social Media" and it helps me in job. Thanks for Sharing.
May 30 2014, 03:32AM
No, I liked "purple cow" it is a nice book, but it was not as practical as I though it would be. In my opinion if you have anything to do with sales "a legacy in advertising" by Hopkins would be your best option.
July 30 2014, 07:06AM
You guys have gone ahead of me, I've got to do some work. Thanks Mark

When logged into SSH network, the entire login session including the transmission of the password is encrypted; almost impossible for any outsider to collect passwords. Compared to the Telnet remote shell protocols which send the transmission, e.g. the password in a plain text, SSH was basically designed to replace Telnet and other insecure remote shell with encryption to provide anonymity and security through unsecured network. In short, it provides a much safer environment for browsing.
Another advantage of using Secure Shell tunnel is to use it to bypass the firewall; therefore, accessing blocked websites from the ISPs. It is also useful to access several websites which blocked any foreign access or from certain countries. While using the Secure Shell tunnel, the client's IP will be changed to the host's IP; giving the client's IP access to the regional-blocked websites. Connecting to a host closer to your location is recommended to increase your internet connection's speed.

Texas and California are known as hotspots for wind energy. And rightly so—Texas leads the nation with over 12 gigawatts of installed wind capacity; California follows with half that. But trailing California by just half a gigawatt is Iowa, home of the gusty Buffalo Ridge in the northwest corner of the state. Iowa Public Radio reporter Durrie Bouscaren reports on wind development in Iowa and on the Rock Island Clean Line, a project that would deliver Iowa's wind energy to Chicago and points east.

Emulators are software that allow to emulate a MIPS processor and eventually other devices, such as timers, serial ports, hard drives.
emulates ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, and SuperH processors and machines. The MIPS emulation is fairly complete as it can run NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Ultrix, and Sprite. It emulates several different MIPS ISA I-IV and MIPS32/64 processors. ARC, DECstation, Cobalt, Malta, HPCmips, SGI, and Algorithmic machines are among the currently emulated MIPS machines; however, the best supported of these machines is probably the DECstation 5000/200. The author releases updates every month or so. The GXemul homepage is at http://gavare.se/gxemul .
models hardware similar to that of machines sold by Silicon Graphics, Inc. and Digital Equipment Corporation. The key component of such machines is the CPU, and SimOS currently provides models of the MIPS R4000 and R10000 and Digital Alpha processor families. In addition to the CPU, SimOS simulates caches, multiprocessor memory busses, disk drives, ethernet, consoles, and other devices commonly found on these machines. By simulating the hardware typically found on commercial computer platforms, porting existing operating systems to the SimOS environment is easy. IRIX 5.3, 6.4 and Digital UNIX have been ported; an Alpha port of Linux is being worked on. The project, which is hosted at http://simos.stanford.edu, seems to have been active in the 1998-2001 timeframe. Nothing new has been added since then and the overall status of the project is uncertain.
There is a SimBCM BCM1250 simulator based on SimOs. Currently it support two cpus, timer, DUART, genbus, memory controller, dma, ether card and it also support gdb remote debug. It can run CFE and linux 2.6 kernel. The NICAT L4 Pistachio can be run in SimBCM.
Sulima is an instruction set architecture (ISA) simulator, originally designed as a research and teaching tool for internal use by the Distributed Systems Group at the University of New South Wales. The documentation is sparse but refers to the use of gcc-2.95 which indicates a very old project. The Sulima homepage may be found at http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/software/sulima/.
is MIPS Technologies' proprietary MIPS simulator. It actually is more like a family of several MIPS simulators which differ in performance and accuracy allowing the user to choose the right tool for the purpose. Linux supports MIPSsim as a special target platform.
MipsSim is a MIPS emulator for the Topsy educational operating system. It's a fairly simple emulator, written in Java, that emulates a R3000 processor. This project seems to be quite old and inactive (the emulator needs some modifications to compile with recent JDK). The MipsSim homepage http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~gfa/MipsSim.html is now dead; it fortunately has been archived at the internet archive.
SPIM (which is just MIPS spelled in reverse) is an emulator that supports a MIPS32 instruction set (no MIPS64 bit support) with some minor restrictions in available instructions. It works by interpreting MIPS assembler source code and thereby avoids binary "complications". It seems most suitable for learning the basics of MIPS assembly language. SPIM is available from A MIPS32 Simulator by James Larus site in source code and binary executables format for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X . The latest version is 7.2.1, dated August 2005.
is an R3000 emulator. VMIPS comes with a few standard devices: SPIM-compatible console device, Standard clock device, Halt device and DECstation 5000/200-compatible devices. VMIPS isn't updated that often (the last update was in January of 2005) but the author does maintain it and has a mailing list (not too active) for news. VMIPS is written in C++ and is extensible since the object-oriented way in which it is written makes it easy to understand and modify. The VMIPS documentation is well-written. Developing new devices for VMIPS is straightforward. The VMIPS homepage is located at http://www.dgate.org/vmips/.
Virtutech Simics
Virtutech Simics Developer is a commercial product (free for academic use) designed to emulate systems such as Alpha, AMD64, ARM, EM64T, IA-64, MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC-V8 and V9, and x86 CPUs. For MIPS architectute Simics emulates Mips Malta with 4K or 5K CPU.
was developed by Institute of Computing Technology (ICT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is derived of VMIPS. Like VMIPS it simulates a R3000-based system. SandUPSim's homepage can is located at http://www.ncic.ac.cn/~hpcog/homepage/SandUPSim.
MPS is an R3000 emulator. English documentation is available only as a PostScript file. MPS is available at http://www.cs.unibo.it/mps/
Yet Another MIPS Simulator, plus some hardware emulation to run NetBSD. YAMS is available at http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~buenos/yams.html.
MAME is a Multi Arcade Machine Emulator, a program that emulates the hardware (and low-level firmware) of a massive variety of arcade machines. MESS is a Multi Emulator Super System, an emulator for the hardware of many different games consules (e.g. Sega, NES, SNES, etc.)
The official site of the MAME development team : http://www.mamedev.com/ . There is a port to the X/Unix: XMAME.
Among others MAME emultates a MIPS R3000, MIPS-III /IV and Sony PSX CPUs. Emulated systems includes Atari/Midway Phoenix/Seattle /Flagstaff consoles (which based on the R4700/R5000 and Galileo GT-64010), Sony consoles and SGI Indy and Indigo.
MISSE, the MIPS Instruction Set Simulator Environment is available from http://www.abo.fi/~jkniivil/misse.
Cisco 7200 Simulator
is an emulator of a Cisco 7200, 3600 and 3700 routers. The software emulates a R4600 CPU and some of the peripherals of the Cisco routers (Galileo GT64010, DEC Tulip 21140, DEC 21050, ...). This emulator is actively maintained. There is a good deal of emphasis on emulating network devices, as you might expect with a Cisco emulator. The Cisco 7200 Simulator homepage is located at http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator.
VirtualMIPS is an emulator of MIPS Soc.
Current Status:
- ADM5120(support without switch emulation)
- JZ4740 Soc
Other Soc support is in progress.

I know, I know in the craft blogging world all Valentines Day projects should have been posted long before now but in the world of Small Fry & Co I seriously am just getting to a few last minute Valentines Day projects and since my goal is to keep things real on this blog I wouldn't want you to be led to believe I have everything done for each holiday at least 1 month in advance. So here is my last minute V-day project but it is not a 30 minute craft so I wouldn't put it off til the night before. I used the ideas from this tutorial I found on how to make monogram letters out of a cereal box.
I fully intended to show you how I created the letters ( I even left one blank from last nights crafting to this morning so I could photograph all the steps) but then I got talking on the phone and crafting (cause I multipurpose like that) and totally forgot to take any pictures. So the only thing I had left was the heart. I drew all my own shapes (but you could make your own templates on the computer). Mine are only 1 inch wide also, but the width could be anything you want. And since I intended to cover mine (using wrapping paper) my pieces are all held together with duct tape. So go to the link and check out the basic idea and then come back so I can show you what I did to cover the pieces.
Start with your shape, or letter-held together by LOTS of duct tape.
Spray one side with spray glue and stick to the back side of your paper. For the heart I used scrapbook paper but for the letters I used wrapping paper. Cut the paper about a 1/2 inch bigger than the shape or letter.
Next if the piece has any curves you will want to make little snips all the way around on the paper.
I put a piece of double sided tape along the shape next to the edge and then folded in all the little pieces. You are going to cover the sides in the end so it doesn't really matter how they look in this step.
Repeat the process on the other side. Now to finish the edge put a strip of paper the same width as the shape, spray it with spray glue and then press all the way around the shape.
Make sure to press down firmly and smooth out any wrinkles.
I sprayed mine again with spray glue and then glittered the heart on both sides.
Here is the finished set. They are not perfect but they turned out cute and they were cheap. I don't think I would attempt to spell "Christmas" this way but for a single letter or a short word, I think this method has some nice possibilities. I think I "love" this idea actually.

Difference between revisions of "El Escorial"
Revision as of 22:13, 2 April 2015
San Lorenzo de El Escorial (also San Lorenzo del Escorial) is a town about 45 km from Madrid in Spain.
Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama, the city's main attraction is the world famous Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (El Escorial for short), a World Heritage Site that was the political centre of the Spanish empire under King Philip II. It is often visited as a day-trip from Madrid, however it's also a good place to spend 2 or 3 nights so you can visit the surrounding countryside and the Valley of the Fallen (Valle de los Caidos).
Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Originally commissioned as mausoleum for his father Charles V, when building completed in 1584 the grounds included a basilica-church, monastery, royal household and library. The pantheon contains the remains of Phillip II and those of his parents, Charles V and the Empress Isabel of Portugal. [1]
Some highlights not to miss in El Escorial:
Valle de los Caidos (Valley of the Fallen)
This is the world's largest free-standing Christian cross. Franco′s tomb and memorial to Catholics (both in Franco's side and opposite) killed in the Civil War. Construction was ordered by Franco and erected on rocks through the labor of many Republican prisoners of war.
It is located quite far from the monastery.
Get in
Most visitors arrive from Madrid and most of them just for a day trip. Access from Madrid is easy due to the large number of local trains every day. Trains can be caught at either the Atocha or Chamartin stations in Madrid. If you take the train, once you arrive in the town of El Escorial you will most likely want to take the local bus upon exiting the train station to get to the monastery (otherwise it is a long, uphill walk). Buses from Madrid leave from the Moncloa station and will drop you directly in front of the monastery. To catch a bus back to Madrid, simply take a short walk to the bus station on Calle Juan de Toledo and wait for the next leaving to Madrid.
Stay safe
Get out

Last week, my husband sent me a link to a press release. (He loves sending me press releases that he thinks will incense me.) This one was a doozy: "One Egg Yolk Worse than a KFC Double Down When it Comes to Cholesterol," the headline read. Um. Wow.
Intrigued (and, I'll admit, a little incensed), I looked up the study—which actually turned out to be a review article—published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology. I also looked up what I could find in the scientific literature about the risks associated with eating too many eggs. The general idea is that egg yolks contain upwards of 200mg of cholesterol, and dietary cholesterol is thought to increase blood cholesterol levels and therefore heart disease risk. But dietary cholesterol only contributes a tiny amount to your blood cholesterol—about 70 percent of your cholesterol is actually made by your liver. And I won't go into this right now, but earlier this year in Slate, I discussed some of the reasons we should question the link between blood cholesterol levels and heart disease risk.
Here's what I found: according to a handful of epidemiological studies, eggs aren't so bad (and may even be good) for the heart. A study based on the famous Framingham Heart Study, which investigated the effects of host and environmental factors on the development of coronary heart disease, concluded that there is "no relationship between egg intake and coronary heart disease incidence." A 1999 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association drew on data from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and reported "no evidence of an overall significant association between egg consumption and risk of CHD or stroke in either men or women," though the study did find that diabetic subjects had an increased risk of developing heart disease if they ate more than one egg per day. A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition analyzed data from 21,327 subjects who participated in the Physicians' Health Study and concluded that egg consumption was not associated with heart attack or stroke. And finally, an analysis from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) III found that people who reported eating more than 4 eggs per week had significantly lower mean serum cholesterol levels that than those who reported eating less than 1 egg per week.
The epidemiological data seem pretty convincing to me, so I wondered how the authors of the review paper were going to address the findings. Interestingly, I found, they chose not to delve immediately into the science—instead, they began by attacking two studies published earlier this year that reported that eating eggs had health benefits, pointing out that the studies were funded by egg marketing agencies. There's nothing wrong with questioning conflicts of interest in research, of course, but something about the vigor with which they made the point felt funny to me. I glanced to the end of the paper to see whether the authors had any conflicts of interests themselves. Here's what I found:
None of the authors receives funding from purveyors of margarine or eggs. Dr Spence and Dr Davignon have received honoraria and speaker's fees from several pharmaceutical companies manufacturing lipid-lowering drugs, and Dr. Davignon has received support from Pfizer Canada for an annual atherosclerosis symposium; his research has been funded in part by Pfizer Canada, AstraZeneca Canada and Merck Frosst Canada Ltd.
Okay, so it seems that Dr. Spence and Dr. Davignon have their own potential biases to contend with. Maybe they're motivated by more than just concern for the health of their fellow Canadians? But back to the science: what do the authors say? "Concern about dietary cholesterol has been developing over the past 40 years," they write. "This concern is based on the careful and independent conclusions of Ancel Keys and Mike Hegsted, who formulated our two most commonly used equations relating dietary saturated and polyunsaturated fat and cholesterol to serum cholesterol." Now, I can't say that I myself have closely looked at Keys' and Hegsted's work, but I know that science writer Gary Taubes has. His famous 2001 piece in Science, for instance, suggests that these "careful conclusions" aren't actually based on sound data. I'm not going to go into all that here, but suffice it to say, I don't think an equation that two scientists came up with 40 years ago trumps recent epidemiological data.
Thankfully, towards the end of the article, the authors do address the epidemiological findings. They mention the findings from the Physician's Health Study suggesting that diabetics may for some reason be adversely affected by high egg consumption. Fine. But what about the risks posed to people without diabetes? "Failure to show harm from eggs in healthy people is likely an issue of statistical power," they write. "In healthy people, a larger study with longer follow-up would be required."
In other words, maybe all those studies just aren't big enough to find evidence that eggs are harmful. Really, guys? The Health Professionals Follow-up Study included 37,851 people. The Nurses' Health Study had 80,082. NHANES had 27,378. Surely if eggs were deadly, these studies would have found a signal amongst the noise. And as for your implication that people might be better off starting the morning with a KFC Double Down than a single egg yolk, well, that I can't even dignify with a response.

Sarah Palin's "Gay Friend" Supports 'Duck Dynasty' Star & Palin Admits She Never Read GQ Comments
It came as no surprise when Sarah Palin jumped to the defense of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson--beyond her Facebook post, you could also see her delivering an impassioned defense on any (FOX) news outlet that would have her.
What was more comical than usual though was the admission that Palin actually never even read Robertson's comments to GQ--and you can bet, she hasn't taken the time to watch this clip of his vitriolic anti-gay sermon.
When pressed by Fox News host Greta Van Susteren whether the language Robertson used when talking about his opposition to homosexuality was graphic and offensive, Palin admitted she didn't know what Robertson had said.
"I haven't read the article. I don't know exactly how he said it," Palin said Monday on Fox News's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."
And yet she, of course, feels the need to talk about it.
It gets even better. Palin's also now claiming to have "a gay friend" who's totally Team Phil and who's planning to boycott A&E for their punishment of the series star.
Palin tells FOX News:
"In fact, a friend of mine who happens to be gay, she emailed me to say she is outraged at A&E for the hypocrisy here, for the things that they air on their program that she finds offensive, yet A&E doesn't fire a star or somebody involved in their programming based on what they said but they would when it comes to Phil on Duck Dynasty and this friend, she said that she would boycott A&E and that network, and uh, um, she's not the only one."
Let's not forget that she could've been one heartbeat away from the presidency, folks.
Thoughts on Palin's comments, Instincters?

Prior to the release of the census images, the genealogy community was awash in webinars, seminars, blog posts, newspaper articles, and television spots that described the process undertaken to:
- digitize the census from the original microfilm rolls (all I can say from my prior experience with microfilm is thank you so very much),
- provide those images to the companies that would upload it on day one,
- acquire the 3.9 scanned image pages and upload them to host company servers,
- put together photographs, historical timelines, location summaries, migration patterns, and search functions all in interactive on-site displays for the public,
- draft programs to encourage volunteers to sign up to index the census, and
- in another truly amazing example of generosity and brilliance by Professors Steve Morse and Joel Weintraub (and their unsung band of volunteers) come up the one-step tools to locate enumeration districts to find people in the census both before and after the indexes have been completed.
It seems that on April 2 everyone and their brother went online through the National Archives and its partners (the 1940 US Census Community Project sponsored by Archives, FamilySearch and FindMyPast, together with several Society sponsors including the NGS, FGS and APG) or to the unaffiliated sites, Ancestry and MyHeritage, in order to find their families on the 1940 Census. The various sites were understandably overloaded with many of us "chomping at the bit" to explore the census images. From the outset I decided to check out a census image or two just "to be part of history," and then index whatever was in the que until the census images became available. I saw some images from Delaware and that gave me my 1940 Census fix. To tell you the truth, it never occurred to me that census indexing would be up and running that first day. I spent an hour indexing World War I Draft Registration Cards from New Jersey and then, to my surprise, in the evening I indexed my first batch of Delaware images.
I had signed up for DearMyrtle's 1940 U.S. Census Images and Indexing Updates hosted by RootsMagic. I attended four of the five evenings ~ what a great experience that was! DearMyrtle had all of the players on her webinar each night. If you did not attend you can play catch-up by checking out the link to the webinars. We received lots of tips and tricks, best practices, and hints for using the census tools and incorporating the census results with our genealogy database programs. We also got to hear from those who found family members and shared their stories.
In my opinion it was all good and it was a great week for genealogy! However, I was absolutely amazed at some of comments that were posted on the various websites the first few days. Specifically:
- where is the index for these images?
- why can't I find my family in the census?
- why do the pages load so slowly?
- why wasn't my state uploaded until [fill in the date]?
- when will my state be indexed?
- how I am supposed to find the address for my family in 1940?
- why does the one-step program require so much information?
- where are the citations to the census?, and the ever popular
- why didn't those companies plan better [together with helpful tips on how they would have done it faster]?
What do all of those comments have in common? Well, I think they all sound ungrateful and entitled! I was embarrassed and disappointed in the genealogical community and the general public for jumping on the blamestorming bandwagon. My response to all those comments is ~ let's all adopt an attitude of gratitude.
Do you realize what an amazing accomplishment it was to digitize, release, upload, and make available the 1940 U.S. Census on the day of its official release? Do you realize that you can view these census images for free in the comfort of your own home (if you have Internet access) or from the comfort of you local library or community center? Do you realize that because the National Archives partnered with Archives, FamilySearch and FindMyPast, the U.S. Census Community Project will host the census images and, when it is completed, provide an every name index all for free to you and me?
So, how are you going to express your attitude of gratitude? I suggest you join with me and index the 1940 U.S. Census. I am a volunteer with the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project and you can be one too! Just follow the link, sign up,watch the tutorial, download the program, and start indexing! You can see the list of participating societies (since most of my family was in Washington in 1940 I signed up and designated the Seattle Genealogical Society). Most societies have blogs and through the Community Project there are contests each week for indexers. It is easy, fun and a nice way to give back or "pay it forward" to all of those who indexed the earlier censuses that so many of us have relied upon. Why not give it a go?
April is National Volunteer Month and I think this is a great opportunity for those of us in the genealogy community to join this volunteer effort. As of this morning there are 21 states available for indexing. I have been indexing through the Community Project for 10 days and index for about an hour early each morning. I have indexed a total of 1200 names on population schedules from Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, and Virginia. So far I have a 98% agreement rate! Why not join the rest of us and the every name index will be finished in record time!

Darien Williams, a student at The Reddix Center, is a recipient of the 2013 "Yes I Can!" award from the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).
Williams has overcome many obstacles during his life and shown his peers the meaning of dedication. As with many individuals with autism, his focus and interest is in one primary area, that being his love and gift for music. He was born blind, but did not let this stop him from learning how to play multiple instruments -- the piano, organ and accordian to name a few. And he has the rare gift of "perfect pitch" without needing the benefit of any formal musical training.
He has performed in more than 20 public and community service recitals each year since moving to San Antonio in 2008. And he has won first place in each of the five festivals he has entered with typically developing peers.
The "Yes I Can!" Awards were developed to annually recognize the accomplishments of 21 students with disabilities who have achieved remarkable things. Awards are given in seven categories: academics, arts, athletics, school and community activities, self-advocacy, technology, and transition. Darien is receiving this international award in the arts category.
He was recognized by the NISD Board of Trustees at their May 28 meeting. Pictured is Williams with Superintendent Brian T. Woods and Board President Karen Freeman.

FT. MYERS, Fla. (May 23, 2014) – A title defense was not in the cards for the ETSU baseball team.
Stetson broke a tie game by scoring two seventh-inning runs and tacked on an insurance run in the ninth as the Hatters defeated ETSU, 5-2, in an Atlantic Sun Championship elimination game on Friday afternoon at FGCU's Swanson Stadium.
The Bucs registered 11 hits for the game, but couldn't execute in key situations as ETSU went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left eight runners stranded for the game.
Sophomore Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) generated the Buccaneer offense as he scored both of their runs and finished 3-for-5 with a double and a leadoff home run in the first, while Jordan Sanford (Powell, Tenn.) went 3-for-4. Sanford ended his junior season reaching base safely in 20 straight games, while Taylor ended the campaign with a nine-game hit streak.
Senior right-hander Logan Rice (Erwin, Tenn.) – who retired the first 18 hitters he faced in the conference tournament – took the loss (3-2) after being charged with the two seventh-inning runs (one earned) on three hits in four innings of work. Stetson starter Mitchell Jordan earned the win (3-8) as he allowed two runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings and Tyler Warmoth picked up his 10th save of the year by tossing two scoreless innings to close out the game.
ETSU, the 2013 A-Sun champions, ended the year at 27-30, while Stetson improved to 26-33 and moved on to face Kennesaw State on Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
The teams combined to score four runs in the first three innings, resulting in the 2-2 score.
Stetson plated its first two runs in the first and second innings as Mike Fernland – who led off the game with a single to center – scored the first run on an RBI groundout by all-conference selection Patrick Mazeika.
Taylor quickly tied the game at one when he led off the bottom of the first with a home run to right for his third round tripper of the year, but the Hatters used small ball to regain a 2-1 lead in the second. Kyle Zech led off the inning with a single and moved into scoring position by stealing second. From there, the Hatter outfielder advanced to third following a sac-bunt by Kyle Pitts and came home on a sac-fly RBI from K'Shawn Smith.
ETSU fought back an inning later to tie the game at two as Taylor led off with a double and scored on wild pitch from Jordan.
However, that would be the final run of the season for the Blue and Gold as Stetson's pitching staff held ETSU scoreless for the final six innings and the Hatters took the lead for good with their seventh-inning spurt.
Stetson began the seventh with a leadoff single by Garrett Russini, which ended Rice's run of retiring 18 straight hitters for the tournament. The Hatters eventually scored the game-winning run when Pitts singled and Russini charged home after Tyler Roach (Knoxville, Tenn.) had trouble fielding the ball in right field. Pitts later scored on a two-out RBI single by Fernland, giving the Hatters a two-run lead, 4-2.
ETSU's pitchers retired 12 of 13 Stetson hitters from the third through six innings; however, the Bucs squandered scoring chances in the fourth and seventh innings.
In the fourth, the Blue and Gold had the go-ahead run on second with only one out, but Jordan worked out of the jam, while ETSU had the tying run on first with two outs in the seventh and couldn't scratch across the runs.
The Hatters picked up their insurance run in the ninth when Russini led off with a double and trotted home on Pitts' sac-fly to right, giving Stetson the three-run cushion.
As a team, Stetson recorded 10 hits, while Fernland, Russini, and Taylor Cockrell all finished with multi-hit games. Cockrell posted three singles, Fernland went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, and Russini finished 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.
Senior right-hander Will Chesney (Knoxville, Tenn.) pitched the final two innings to make his 33rd appearance of the year, tying him for the second-most appearances in ETSU single-season history.

The Adidas Yeezy Boost is the first Kanye West sneaker from adidas. The shoes are officially called the Adidas 750 Boost and was released in limited numbers on February 14th for $350. A second release will take place on February 21st on adidas.com. The worldwide release took place on February 28th and restocks are expected over the next few months.
The Adidas Yeezy Boost Sale has fulfilled expectations. adidas created the Confirmed app to avoid release hysteria and still, people are already camping out in Europe a full work week ahead of when the shoe is scheduled to hit overseas on February 28th. The chukka-like aesthetic has made headlines for the wrong reasons recently with a faulty zipper unit breaking prematurely, but the three stripes seem to have fixed the issue. Kanye recently revealed that a black pair of the adidas Yeezy Boost is planned, and here we see a mixture of both worlds as the grey suede upper sees a variation of a black outsole. The upper of the Yeezy 3 remains unchanged expect for minute details like a premium gold zipper, black velcro accents on the strap and upper shroud, and of course the shoe's bottom. Check out more of this early Yeezy sample after the break and let us know if you're a fan of the alternate black sole by penning your thoughts in the comments.

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
Well lets see, I have been doing this since 1998 at Fanime where I first got the idea to cosplay from our High School anime club, and it just kind of blossomed from there, now 15 years later and still doing this
Its great to meet such awesome people across the states and even out of the country and I love getting my picture taken *_*!
In addition to cosplaying, my interests include video games, graphic design, cars, and artwork. I hope to one day become a published artist since Im fairly known for my original characters.
I am always looking for story ideas or friends to cosplay my designs so feel free to ask me any questions you might have!
