Most Tattooed Man

He’s also in the Guinness Book of Records as the most tattooed man on the planet. He only has one tattoo (his own words) but it covers his entire body (including the inside of his mouth and ears) and it has multiple layers. He had thoughts about the most tattooed men and women ever since he was a child but he didn’t think about becoming one of them until he got his first tattoo, a small juggling club on his hip.

Lucky Diamond Rich was born in New Zealand but currently performs as a chainsaw juggling, sword swallowing entertainer in Australia. he has spent more than 1000 hours getting his body tattooed around the world, but he was not satisfied, so he opted for a black ink covering his entire body. He is now getting white designs on top of the black and colored designs on top of the white. I guess he really a work in progress, just like he says.

The three-dimensional crystalline structures in the wing cases of pachyrrynchine weevils are arranged hexagonally, in a similar way to how crystals are arranged in opals.

Weevils (such as this Pachyrrynchus beetle) have a different method. The scale patches are made of photonic crystals, as seen in the next image...

This electron micrograph of the tiger beetle shows a reflector band (arrow) - where thin layers of tissue with different refractive indices have been laid on top of each other. The spacing of the layers causes different colours to be produced by constructive interference.

Beetles are sometimes called "living jewels" in reference to the diverse array of iridescent colours they display. The optical effects are produced by photonic crystals and sophisticated reflectance mechanisms, as these images show.

BIG IS BEAUTIFUL

Balloon skirts that circle back to a gathered hemline, blouses with puffy leg-of-mutton sleeves, and draping bolero jackets with three-quarter-length sleeves cut and sewn with copious frills are among the items now in favor as big-looking clothes take the spotlight. The 2006 fall and winter fashion collections signaled that slender and feminine were out and "neo volume style" was in. Marc Jacobs of Louis Vuitton, for example, unveiled a dress with a large pocket at the waist, much like a kangaroo pouch, and a rounded silhouette coat. And Chloé, a popular brand whose handbags are in very high demand, came out with a cocoon silhouette coat and short bolero jacket with numerous folds and three-quarter-length sleeves.

The Volume Look Revisited

The "volume" look made its debut in the 1960s and made a major comeback in the 1980s, when fan-shaped mini skirts and other shapely items were unveiled by Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, and other foreign designers. In Japan, balloon skirts, blouses with puffy sleeves, and other oversized clothing caught on in the latter half of the 1980s after young Olive magazine readers began wearing them and the "cute and coquettish" look took hold.

Today, two more decades down the line, volume fashion is again back in vogue, while the preference dating back to the 1990s for casual and compact styles, with excess kept to a minimum, seems to have passed its peak.

This time, however, variety is the name of the game, with voluminous tops often being mixed with leaner bottoms and vice versa, rather than full head-to-toe volume. By wearing a balloon skirt with a high-necked collar knit or short jacket, or a puffy sleeved blouse or cocoon silhouette top with skinny jeans, leggings, or other tight-fitting pants, a clean, sharp look is achieved
