Incredible Taiwanese culture - Betel nut girls

The term Betel nut beauty refers to a common sight along roadsides in Taiwan: a young woman selling betel nuts and cigarettes from a brightly lit glass enclosure while wearing revealing clothing. The Mandarin term names the women after Xi Shi, the legendary beauty of imperial China's Spring and Autumn Period. Though betel nuts are chewed in many regions of the Asia-Pacific, the betel nut beauty phenomenon is distinctly Taiwanese.
Inside the post, you will see pictures of these beauties.

Graphic images of rape and torture among Iraq prisoner abuse photos Obama wants blocked, claims U.S. general

A former U.S. general said graphic images of rape and torture are among the photos of Iraqi prisoner abuse that Barack Obama's administration does not want released.

Retired Major General Antonio Taguba, who oversaw the U.S. investigation into the abuses at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison,said he agreed with the President's decision not to release the pictures.

'I am not sure what purpose their release would serve other than a legal one and the consequence would be to imperil our troops, the only protectors of our foreign policy, when we most need them,' he said.

'The mere description of these pictures is horrendous enough, take my word for it.'

One of the horrifying images that an Australian TV network claimed was a detainee being abused in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison in 2003

It was not exactly clear what photos Taguba was referring to.

A U.S. military official in Baghdad, however, said 'the photos referred to are ones that Taguba is not aware of.'

The Obama administration would not comment about Taguba's remarks.

Iraqis have called for an investigation into his claims.

'The Iraqi government must demand the reopening of the Abu Ghraib scandal case again,' Ali Kadom, 45, who works at the Ministry of Transportation, said.

Khalid Bashi, 35, a trade office owner in Baghdad, said Mr Obama should release the photos to put a stop to a possible scandal.

'Sooner or later, more scandals will appear that show crimes against humanity carried out by American troops in Iraq,' Mr Bashi added.

The prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib exploded after photos taken by soldiers appeared in 2004.

According to newspaper reports, the new photos depict much more serious abuses than previously documented. 

One photo allegedly shows an American soldier raping a female prisoner and another was said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.

The photos apparently relate to 400 cases of alleged abuse between 2001 and 2005 at Abu Ghraib and six other prisons.

Food Alphabet

From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the artist Luiza Prado created an alternative and eatable alphabet. Have a nice lunch! 


Hair Alphabet

Cool yet disgusting, a hairy alphabet made by Craig Ward. 


Truck Alphabet

Alphabet Truck is the photographic work of Eric Tabuchi, with a series of 26 photographs representing several thousands of kilometres traversed over the past four years. 


Sky Alphabet

This alphabet was made by Lisa Reinermann from photographs looking up through the gaps in buildings.

 A weird (and painful) alphabet, made with clothespin and skin. It's called alfabet in huid (typeface in skin) made by Thijs Verbeek. 

Hamburger Alphabet

Robert Bolesta invented an entire alphabet made out of raw hamburger. He hand-shaped, packaged, and photographed each one individually, creating this unique alphabet. (Source)


Shoestring Alphabet

A found alphabet made from shoestrings draped into a cursive pattern by Mark Notermann. 


Butterfly Wings' Alphabet

This original and ecological Alphabet was made of butterfly wings' photos. 


Halo Corpse Alphabet

The Halo Corpse Alphabet is a rather macabre project with the goal being to represent every letter of the alphabet by the twisted, curved, stretched, and otherwise dead Spartan and Elite bodies from Halo 3. The Halo community was clearly up for the challenge as they miraculously managed to capture every single letter, number, and even some punctuation in the form of screenshots. 


Matchbook Alphabet

15 Creative Umbrellas

F*ck The Rain Umbrella

This F*ck The Rain Umbrella was made by Art Lebedev and lets mother nature know where to stick it. It's a real product and will set you back about $55. (Source)


Water Gun Umbrella

The Umbrella Water Gun, from Alexy Woolley Design, collects water in the concave top, which travels down into the water gun handle -- so you never run out of ammo as long as it's raining! Really cool! 


Light Saber Umbrella

Take the trendy and illuminating properties of a LED flashlight, mix in a light emitting multi-coloured handle, throw in the terribly useful water repelling function of an umbrella and you've got a hip and wacky way to brighten up a dismal day in the city. The Light Saber Umbrella is $41. 


Senz Umbrella

Also known as "The Storm," the Senz Umbrella has an aerodynamic design and the manufacturer claims it can withstand storms up to wind force 10.


Cloud Umbrella

This inflatable cloud-shaped Umbrella is an unique model. In order to unfold it, you just need to push and pull the air drum built in the handle. It might that you are the only one with white clouds floating over the head. 


Couple Umbrella

This $19,99 double umbrella could double the rain coverage for lovers. Plus, when closed, it seems like a typical umbrella. 


Nubrella

Nubrella is no ordinary umbrella: it can be easily strap on your shoulder so that you do not need to hold it with your hand. It stops rain, wind, snow and extreme cold-- and keeps your head, face and shoulders drier than ever. 


Polite Umbrella

Designed to avoid hitting others, the Polite Umbrella is a shrinkable umbrella that enables users to morph its shape in order to reduce occupied space and to increase user maneuverability. Users can easily adjust their umbrellas anytime by pulling a handle so that they can protect themselves from harsh winds or bumping into others. 


UNbrella

Conventional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only a collapsible umbrella skeleton without any surface, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface. 


Brelli Umbrella

Brelli is the world's first 100% biodegradable umbrella, made with a unique biodegradable plastic canopy and bamboo. And it looks cool too. 


Bumpbrella 

The Bumpbrella is convenient in the sense that it can be inflated easily with the help of a hand pump and deflated at the pull of a handle, so it doesn't take up too much precious space. Even if you can't help bumping into people, you can spare them the poke in the eye. This continues to be true even in the dark, thanks to the three bright LEDs which allows you to see and be seen clearly. (Source)


Huge Japanese Umbrella

This gigantic umbrella was seen in Tokyo, Japan, sadly there isn't more info, but it looks bizarre enough to make it here. 


Flask Umbrella

This Brigg umbrella features a Malacca cane two-piece handle with a fitted screw-in drinking flask. That's all well and good, but this thing costs around $880! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have $880 to spend on a umbrella, you also have enough money to pay for your drinks. 


Umbuster Umbrella

The Umbuster is an Umbrella with an ergonomically positioned knuckle duster handle configuration. Looks pretty comfy. (Source)


Ufo Umbrella

Sure, you could wear a raincoat if you don't feel like carrying an umbrella, but does it really keep you dry? I didn't think so. This combination of Umbrella+Cap does that. Sadly, the Ufo Cao is Korea-only for now, but I'm pretty sure they'll be glad to ship one to you.

10 Strangest Fashion Accessories

Tear jewelry for the eye

In the frenzy to come up with something different, one designer has created a line of jewelry which is intended to be worn on the eyes. The bizarre range features a number of adornments which hang on wire from contact lenses. Users attach a range of accessories, such as crystals and flowers, to the new prescription or dummy lenses and wear them throughout the day.

The jewelry, which measures up to 14mm x 33mm, is attached to the contact using medical wire and hangs below the eye. The crystal accessories glimmer in sunlight and look as if the wearer is crying. (Source)


The Bag TV

Take a quick look at the Bag TV. It is basically a handbag that includes an LCD screen of 7 inches. You can buy either the bag with the TV set or just the bag. This basically means that you can spear some money by purchasing different bag colors and just one TV. As expected, the handbag that first comes with a TV is more expensive than those without it.

There are 7 different colors that can be chosen. They look both casual and professional and you will love the fact that you can play MP3 files, DVDs, music or images. The battery included will give you enough juice for around 2 and a half hours. This Bag TV surely is a very new concept in the fashion world. (Source 1 | Source 2)


Plastic nipples

These plastic protrusions designed to show how happy you are, have gone from a mere fashion fad, to a feisty, pheromone-infusing feature. According to the packaging, this Japanese product is a hit in America. (Source)



Pantyhose for men

If women are worried that their previously exclusive fashion domain is being invaded by men in mascara and man-bras, there's another cause for concern. “Mantyhose” are pantyhose for men, the latest in a string of men's fashion trends straight from the bizarre files. According to its website, “everyone, from truck drivers to cowboys, are wearing them.” (Source)


Sliced Barbie dolls jewellery

A bizarre collection of designer jewellery made from cut-up Barbie dolls has recently become a macabre fashion accessory. The disturbing range is made from sliced parts of the popular toy. Barbie's breasts have even been transformed into an eye-catching necklace and a pair of earrings features a string of Barbie ears. 

The unusual collection, created by New York designer Margaux Lange, has caught the eye of fashion-conscious gift-hunters who have been buying up items such as a pendant made from one of Barbie's eyes costing about £110. There are even accessories made from parts of Barbie's boyfriend, Ken. (Source)



Botox-injected handbags

Mauro Orietti-Carella, Milan designer, makes stylish accessories using quite unconventional technology for the fashion industry. He uses Botox injections, which are quite popular among aging Hollywood divas.

Orietti, who used to be a professional dermatologist in the past, started experimenting with bags a long time ago. He discovered that silicone injections in exotic crocodile, python, ostrich leather substantially increase the quality of the leather such that it becomes much softer, just like cashmere, and the colors become much more saturated and vivid.

Besides the amazing leather quality, Orietti-Carella's accessories stand out with their unique sparkle, since the bags are coated with special layer of 18-carat gold and silver dust mix. The designer's accessories are popular among such celebrities as Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Cindy Crawford.


Ice jewelry

Look at designer Katharina Ludwig's unique ice jewelry, which boasts some beautiful designs that will help keep even the hottest chicks cool on a hot summer day. 

To help keep cool on the hot summer days, fashion lovers can choose from rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces made of ice; though I wouldn't recommend building your outfit around these cool accessories, since depending upon the temperature, you may quickly find yourself in hot water once your outfit centerpieces have melted. 



Scarf gloves

Fashion meets function when this brimmed gray hat doubles as a scarf and triples as gloves in this avante-garde accessory, from New York design genius TELFAR. 



Jewelry flash drive

In the view of Philips & Swarovski, flash drive can be a fashionable thing, not only a storage device. Women gotta love these Jewelry flash drives! They're really gorgeous, you just have to be ready to pay a little more than $200! (Source)



Colored Taser

Need another way to make sure you're safe, while still making sure everything you're wearing is colour coordinated? Now your Taser can double as a fashion accessory, completely decked out in a holster that plays mp3s.

Instead of the usual black colour, the new C2 Taser's are available in fire engine red, blue, silver or pink, for $349 or the premium leopard print model for $379. (Source)
