Bella Lingerie, not just for Women…

Bella Lingerie saw their first male customer today…shopping for themselves. Krista took care of the gentleman in the most professional way and treated him just like any customer. She even offered a personal fitting, which he declined. He had some pretty specific needs in mind, which I guess anyone shopping for a man-bra would have.… Continue reading Bella Lingerie, not just for Women…

The Marathon Monks of Mount Hiei

The crazy Marathon Monks defy physiological science. Among their grueling regimen of double marathons a day, flip-flop runs around mountains, and sitting in front a blazing fire for days on end, they also manage to stay alive for a seven-and-a-half day water and food fast while sitting perfectly still and erect…and awake.

It was getting cold out tonight, so we took the noise inside the Main Street Market where… Continue reading How to Kill a Kiln

Lilly Capehart – Lizard Whisperer

Lilly and family have put together quite the entrpreneurial activity. Lilly “hypnotizes” Green anoles by stroking their underside a few times in her hand. The lizard is pretty much inactive for 10 minutes or so while she dresses them in doll clothing, poses them in miniature scenes, or simply sticks them together like primates from… Continue reading Lilly Capehart – Lizard Whisperer

Awwww

How is it that awful and awesome can be taken so drastically differently today? Like twins separated at birth to lead very different lives, and yet they shared a womb together. Interesting…and stuff.
