Multi-scissor haircut

Mon, 12 May 2008 15:04:11 -0500

Danny Bargil is a hair stylist who is attempting to break his previous Guinness World Record of a nine-scissor haircut by now performing a 10-scissor cut. Link to video.

I wonder what the guidelines are to achieve the record. If my hands were able to hold 10 pairs of scissors at one time, I could probably break the record. Granted, the haircut would look horrible, but I could manage to snip off a few hairs... and ears.

Bamboo Pathway in Kyoto

I found this image when I was using google to research bamboo for a logo project. Everything for me stopped when I saw this. Actual location is in Kyoto, Japan (where my grandmother is actually from)--- a pathway (for miles I think) of these massive bamboo trees. I have to go back to Kyoto and walk through this.

Just stare into it and imagine being there. It's my desktop image at work and I look at it when my mind needs a mini vacation.

Thought I'd share something positive today.

Fish Spa, fish feed on your dead skin cells

I was just getting used to the idea of bathing in wine and sake, but bathing in a pool of flesh eating fish? Yeah, not my idea of relaxation.

At such a spa, many Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas.

When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won't hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin.
