Before She Was Lady Gaga

I really love looking at old photos of celebrities, from the time when they weren’t famous yet. Here are 15 images of Stefani Germanotta taken in 2005 before she was Lady Gaga at her parent’s house. Photos were taken by Malgorzata Saniewska. At the time both of the girls were working at a restaurant in the West Village. These images give us the opportunity to see the real Gaga, more vulnerable and more “human”. Even then, she obviously already had a knack for striking a pose and it was clear she’ll become a world wide known and popular pop star.

27 Reasons Why Vladimir Putin Definitely Won The Russian Presidential Election

A Closer Look at Rihanna’s 15 Tattoos

Most of the people look at Rihanna as girly girl pop star and somehow having 15 tattoos doesn’t really concur with that image, but I’m guessing this is that part “good girl gone bad”.

Cartoon Character Skeletons

We all love cartoon characters because they look so cute and lovable, mostly because of their unrealistic anatomy and disproportion of body parts. They all have huge heads that are sometimes even larger than the rest of their body, but somehow we all overlook that anomaly, and the only thing we see is adorable little cutie. These funny drawings below done by Michael Paulus show us what our favorite characters actually look like. Only by looking at their skeletons we come to realize how absurd their body structure actually is.

19 Pepsi Flavors You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

The soda war has been raging for years between Cola and Pepsi, and to win both companies were experimenting with new, unusual flavors. We still don’t have an official winner, but we have to admit that in the category of the most bizarre flavors that appeared and were then swiftly withdrawn from the supermarket shelves, Pepsi has undoubtedly come out on top. Most of these ridiculously flavored Pepsi drinks appeared (lo and behold) in Japan, but to be fair, Russia had its share in this monkey business, as well. So, here’s a toast to that crazy bubbly drink!

Sexism in Vintage Ads

I decided to look at these terrible ads not as a proof of how common gender stereotypes were in the past, but as a proof of progress women achieved in improving their position in general in the last 50 years. Unfortunately, we are far from stereotype-free society, because there are still plenty of those who will make jokes about women being bad drivers, brainless beauties or house dwellers. At least we have moved on to recognizing a stereotype when we see one and disapproving of it. We don’t put up with this nonsense anymore and companies don’t invoke it to push their products. I know it’s not much, but it gives hope for a better future.

Male Superheroes Dressed Like Female Superheroes

Did you ever pay attention to female superhero characters and their impractical, stripper-ish costumes in the comics? If you have trouble noticing how sexist their outfits are, or how demeaning the presenting of these characters in general is, just try picturing male characters instead of the females and you’ll see how awful it is. The female costumes are so ridiculously cut, like the most important thing in fighting crime and catching villains is to show as much cleavage, crotch and butt as possible. This makes me so mad!

24 Hipsters on Weird Bikes

Most of the hipsters love bragging about being “green” and highly concerned about the environment, therefor most of them ride bikes. And there are even bunch of websites and forums where they post thousands upon thousands of obnoxious images of the most ridiculous and weird bikes that are literally impossible to ride and that most of them built on their own. Here are some of those images. What do you think about these people and their constructions? I find them rather annoying and pretentious, but they probably think they are incredibly cool.

The 50 Most Ridiculous Outfits From New York Fashion Week 2012

You should be able to tell from the headline that this was a particularly bad year for fashion at the New York Fashion Week. Every year there are few unsuccessful attempts of creating an absolute master piece that will be so unique and completely different from everything that was ever made in the history of fashion, but this year there were even 50 such cases of terrible fashion fails. Many fashion critics and stylist have said that the year of 2012 is a year of “Fashiongeddon” and they are right, because most of the outfits look like costumes from Sci-Fi movies from the 60s. And if these images alone aren’t enough to make you laugh, just imagine the price tags on these clothes!

Most Alternative Dating Sites

Let’s be honest, if you’re hoping to find your significant other through dating sites, chances are you’re a big fat looser. Still, chances are there are other desperate and lonely losers out there that are willing to take you the way you are.

Why not funnel all of your heart’s hopes and dreams into a dating site especially tailored for you and your love for gaming or your obsession with huge jugs?

The Weirdest Vagina Accidents Ever

Honestly, before stumbling upon this article on Frisky, it never even occurred to me that you could have a vagina accident. Well, apparently, there are ladies out there that use their lady parts for some rather peculiar purposes. Prepare yourselves for the most uncomfortable, painful and bizarre stories from the ER about vagina accidents. I have to say that most of these misfortunes happened due to insertion of objects where they shouldn’t be inserted, like, for example putting a potato or a chicken where the Sun doesn’t shine. I don’t know why anyone would do such a thing. Maybe they were trying to cook a dinner in a unique way, but my point is – ladies, please stop doing that! It’s nasty!

Female Fitness – Perfect Spot for Chauvinism

We’re still coming round from sock that was caused by the news which hit us last year, in November, about possibility of pole dancing becoming an Olympic sport. They even changed its name from “pole dancing” to “pole fitness” to distinguish it from erotic dancing in night clubs where semi-naked women strip in front of leering men. The popularity of these fitness clubs skyrocketed over the last decade, and more than 500 pole dancing/fitness studios sprung up across the country. The pole fitness instructors say there are women from age 14 to 72 that test their body strength, stamina and flexibility on pole. They say this “sport” provides a physical challenge that keeps both mind and body engaged.
