The narrowest house in the world
The narrowest house in the world has been recently completed. Keret House opened its doors — or door. Designed by Jakub SzczÄ™sny, the Keret House has 14 square metres of floorspace, and has an interior that varies in width from 72cm to 122cm. Visitors have to enter via a staircase that leads to a wooden ladder up through a trapdoor. According to SzczÄ™sny the house wasn’t design to be a proper home but more as an artist studio.

Quote
I am really ambitious, really independent and unconventional; a modern woman. Yet, I find it very romantic to, at the end of the day, feel like I belong to a man.

Tattoos on women [part 3]
in denial de·ni·al /diˈnÄ«É™l/
Refusal or unwillingness to accept something or to accept reality. (adjective)
Yes, I know what I stated in my previous posts concerning the art of ink applied on women. And yes, I am very aware that I keep contradicting myself on the subject matter, which explains the opening statement.
I always say I do not appreciate a tattoo on a beautiful woman and even went as far to say it’s a waste. But more and more I am attracted to these stunning women with, yes tattoos.
This new post is triggered by a chance encounter with Jamura, a talented
writer, who happens to be in the possession of some intriguing body art. It
aroused my curiosity.
Why my sudden interest in tattoos on women? I am starting to realise it
might have to do with added personality. A tattoo can add an extra layer to a person
and really expose an underlying script, a map of where that person has been,
their story if you will. Literarily
showing one's true colours.
On the other hand I envy them for being confident enough in their
choices to make one that will last forever.
Thanks Jamura for letting me post this picture.
