This lady was devastated by the loss of her father to cancer so she went on a trek through Europe carrying a cardboard cutout of him everywhere she went in a bid to take him to all the countries he hoped to visit. In 2012, Jinna Yang’s father passed away from stomach cancer and Yang, lamented that in exchange for providing for her and her family, her father had shortchanged himself out of doing the things that he wanted to do, like play PGA golf. To handle her sorrow, Yang worked harder than ever in her corporate job in New York City. When the stress caused by her father’s passing and her grueling job responsibilities grew to be too much, Yang dropped everything and did something drastic.

She bought a one-way ticket to Iceland, and took a cardboard cutout of her late father “to honor his memory and come to peace with herself,” as she traveled across Europe.

Hitler Chic Stash

Often studied in history, Adolf Hitler was one of the world’s prominent leaders stretching from Germany and all over most of the Middle East. In times past he was recognized as a world power, but more recognized as a cruel and ruthless person. With Nazi concentration camps, and the genocide of a whole culture, his legacy was left unparalleled for many. His face on the other hand is a rising fashion in Bangkok. His much recognized mustache only spawning two inches in size has taken over this large city. His gestures as a world leader – “literally” the standing and arm straight out stance with hand in the air is also a trend for many people in the Bangkok area as well. With both of these weird actions, the stash has even went to the point of going on Ronald McDonald. Yes, I said Ronald McDonald is a child icon here in the United States. With this weird fashion, we can see that Hitler might not be alive, but he could be making a comeback…..even from the grave. Weird, Yes Indeed!!

The scariest hollywood movies of all times

What makes a movie so scary? What makes us shiver after watching it, not lettings us close our eyes and sleep peacefully? Which element scares us the most? Is the blood? or the chainsaw in the arms of a serial killer? On the other hand, is it just the feeling that evil exists around us, waiting around the corner for its next victim?

#1The Silence of the Lambs

A film which is actually of the thriller genre, but scares the hell out of us while watching it. The film is made after Thomas Harris’ novel of the same title, introducing us a story of Hannibal Lecter, the outstanding psychiatrist with a very special side job – a cannibal and a serial killer. The young detective Starling, starred by Jodie Foster is seeking for help from Doctor Lecter, impersonated by the brilliant Anthony Hopkins, whose insight might help her in solving the case involving a serial killer “Buffalo Bill”. The atmosphere of this film just gets under you

#3Suspiria

The outstanding horror directed by the famous Italian Dario Argento. It introduces a story of a ballet dancer who enrolls into the prestigious dance academy in Germany; however, the school is actually managed by a coven of witches. What makes this film even scarier is the music background; the soundtrack was originally made for Argento’s film by the Italian prog-rock band Goblin. Pretty spooky.

#4Psycho

The famous Alfred Hitchcock’s horror-thriller; one is never safe again under the shower, behind the curtain. The brilliant Anthony Perkins is a twisted motel manager and a psycho-killer and his victim is played by Janet Leigh; the murder of her character, Marion Crane, is the famous “shower scene” and one of the most legendary scenes in cinematography. This film is Hitchcock’s scariest story; even in the present times of modern film effects, Psycho never seems to fail in its exciting spookiness.

#5Rosemary’s Baby

One of Roman Polanski’s jewels. The film is actually based on a novel written by Ira Levin, a psychological horror story. The plot introduces a pregnant Mia Farrow having paranoid ideas about her husband offering their future child to their twisted neighbors so that they can use the baby in conducting their occult rituals. In return, he gets to succeed in his future acting career. Polanski brilliantly directed the film – it is horrifying, dark, full of suspicion, and paranoia and very disturbing. There is an escalating atmosphere of paranoia and fear, a true horror story.

#6Seven

Another horror-crime film dealing with a terrifying serial killer whose mission is to remind the world of the seven deadly sins. Two detectives, played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, entangle themselves into the sick world of this sick-minded psychopath, desperately seeking for an answer. It is a truly poisonous film with an intense music background. David Fincher at his best, a neo-noir work of art.

#7The Shining

The famous adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, directed by the amazing Stanley Kubrick. The exceptional performance of Jack Nicholson is what makes this film even scarier to watch; the twisted writer and the recovering alcoholic loses his mind in an isolated hotel which leads him to killing his wife and son, descending into complete madness, driven by a supernatural force. One should not miss the documentary “Room 237” dealing with the filming of this horror story.

#8Lost Highway

Another neo-noir made by the master of horror, David Lynch. The story is actually a psychological thriller, introducing a man, driven by unexplainable evil forces, going completely mad, ending up killing his wife. Suddenly, the film changes its course and introduces new characters, but yet so similar to the previous ones. The story is featured by a brilliant soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti and the super-talented Trent Reznor, with David Bowie also appearing with “I’m Deranged”. A true nightmare.

The World most unusual models

1 Eighty-five year old model that still models in lingerie

The society is obsessed with youth and beauty, and in most cases models like Daphne Selfe wouldn’t even be considered to be in any magazine, but she is a good example that age, grace and beauty can go together. This grandmother is in the 60th year of an extraordinary modeling career thanks to her graceful posture, striking cheekbones and her long, lustrous – and unashamedly grey – hair. At the age of 85, she is Britain’s oldest catwalk model, gracing runways for Dolce & Gabbana, Tata-Naka and Michiko Koshino.

2 The Cross-Eyed Model Who Is Challenging Fashion Beauty Standards

Moffy is not like every other female supermodel. Yes, she is young, beautiful, talented and has the right body measurements, but there’s also something that sets her apart from all the other professional models. Moffy is cross-eyed. Most girls are denied a career in the modeling industry because of their physical “flaws,” but in young Moffy’s case, her strabismus, a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned with each other, was exactly what helped her succeed in the fashion world. Before her now-famous photo shoot for POP Magazine, Moffy had never been photographed for a fashion mag, but her pure, unconventional beauty seduced everyone, even the people at Storm, the model agency that discovered Kate Moss–they recently signed Moffy.

3 Former Marine Without a leg Enjoys a Second Career as a Fitness Model

Alex Minsky is another unusual name who lost his leg in a war. This war veteran’s tattooed, finely chiseled body often gets a second look, for how good he looks in his skivvies.

The former Marine-turned-model works out twice a day – a grueling maintenance schedule – but nothing compared to what he had experienced before reaching this point in his life. Four years before, he lost part of his right leg, and nearly his life, to a roadside explosive in Afghanistan.
Minsky, a Purple Heart recipient, learned to walk with the help of a prosthetic limb. One day, while training at the gym, he was approached by a guy who asked him if he had ever worked as a model. That guy was photographer Tom Cullis. A year after his first photo shoot, Minsky is still heating up the Internet with photos of his tattooed and ripped body.

4 Tallest female model

Amazon Eve is the world’s tallest model. She is also known as Erika Ervin, totally dwarfs the majority of men and women she encounters as she stands at a towering 2 meters. Erika first appeared on the Zoo Weekly magazine front cover. She has also worked as a political lobbyist, paralegal, personal trainer. Additionally, she makes money by challenging men to wrestle her for a $400 fee.

As a child Eve was always tall. By the age of 14 and already at 1.75 meters tall and she towered over her classmates and teachers. Over the next five years, Eve suffered terrible growing pains as she shot up 20 cm, and by 19 stood at her current height of 2 meters. She eventually took up acting classes to boost her confidence. She dreamed of being a Hollywood star, but the main parts she was called for were for roles as aliens or monsters. In 2013, Eve landed a role as Shelley Godfrey in the hit T.V series Hemlock Grove.

5 The plus size models with the world’s largest hips

Mikel Ruffinelli resides Los Angeles, USA, and holds the record for world’s biggest hips, measuring more than 2.5 meters around around.
