I had to give this more exposure. This is one of the most impressive works of sculptural art ever. I seldom mention Chinese artists in my favorites and inspirations throughout history, but when you see works like this and the talent, skill, dedication, and vision that played such a part in its creation. This should be listed as a work by the masters, and this person’s name — Zheng Chunhui — added to that list of astounding artists. I can’t help but cry as I examine these and imagine what the sculpture must look like in actuality. Amazing… just, amazing. Four years! Modern artists can fathom that level of dedication when you paint it on a computer screen in a few hours.

This photo always cheers me up a bit. It’s a front-page article from 1955 about Christine Jorgensen, one of the first women to have sex-reassignment surgery.
Since the text is a bit small and I couldn’t find a larger copy, here’s what the small blurb says:
A World of a Difference
George W. Jorgensen, Jr., son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgensen’s sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that’s her new name) sent to them recently.
This article is 58 years old, and it’s more respectful of Christine’s pronoun choices and name than some publications are today. It makes me happy to see a newspaper be respectful of a trans person’s choice of name and pronouns like that.

Oh, the...
Oh, the cleverness of me!
Peter is a punk rocker.
Aherm. Yeah, this is what I wore to the Disneybound Day at Disneyland (which was full of fun and great people, by the way). Breakdown time, but…
First and foremost, I want to thank whimsicalmela for taking many of these pictures! She was super sweet and offered while we hung out for the day!
All righty, here it goes. Basically, I had to do a sort of punk-ish Peter Pan. What else would the kid be?
The shoes: Picked ‘em up at the Melrose swapmeet. Heck yeah.
The pants: Those were white once. Dyed ‘em.
The shirt: Bought it from a kid who was making these. I think he was starting his company? Either way, my favorite shirt I own.
The vest: Okay, here’s where hours of my life and ounces of blood went into. I butchered an old denim jacket to start, and from there, it was all scratch. The patches were all hand painted and sewn on. I made the hood from some flannel then got some feathers and colored the tips. Sewed those on one-by-one and had to make sure they all stayed flat so they wouldn’t fold and snap. All the star spots on the back were painstakingly pushed in and bent back so they didn’t pop off. On the front, more hand painted patches and the green star panels (more dyed fabric so it’d match everything else). I made several pins like the ones you get at concerts for bands, but instead relating to things of the Neverland variety. Most are self-explanatory, but there’s a few tougher ones in there I’ll let you ponder on. One side is reserved for native american-ish/Tiger Lily stuff, because she’s awesome. Of course, we couldn’t forget Tink! I took a charm Venia gave me and painted it to put it in a bottle cap. I think that’s it? Yeah, I’m going to say that’s it.
Accessories: I really do love the crocodile. I found myself a ring and made a wrist band out of various pieces of leather and a button I painted to look like an eyeball. The little chevron band is something I made a long time ago, just sort of has all Peter’s colors in it. The rings were part bought, part made. The leather one with the acorn I carved and dyed, and the dagger ring I rigged with a charm I painted. The raven’s claw is kind of a distant reference to a character in Kensington Gardens, but that’s not exactly Disneybound-related so much as just Peter Pan. Lastly, I made a little clip with a bottle full of pixie dust!
P.S. Please don’t hijack/alter/etc the idea. This took a long, long time to construct and is pretty dear to me and all that jazz.
Reblogging because, uh, Tumblr saw it fit to eat the original post. Good fun.
WOW OKAY YOU’RE ONE OF MY TOP COSPLAY IDOLS NOW

These Photos Of Women's Bodies Are Unbelievable
The images below show an incredible variety of women, ranging in weight, height, race and proportion. What they all have in common is that they are professional athletes at their physical peak.
