Protest via 4th Amendment Underwear

Now there's a way to protest those intrusive TSA AIRPORT X-ray Body scanners without saying a word.

Before I begin, I'm not going to hide my stance on TSA body scanners! I have concerns that frequent exposure to TSA-operated scanner devices may carry health risks, such as exposure to radiation that may increase the risk of cancers and other health issues. Scanners have not been in operation long enough for an effective study to be performed.- 

My second qualm is the invasive body scans, which certainly don't leave much to the imagination- raising further concerns relating to individual's right to privacy - one that has been increasingly threatened since terrorism became a more immediate problem in recent years. I realise striking the right balance between security and privacy, is a complex affair, though for me personally the balance has been tipped towards security. ~ Though I don't resent those who feel at ease travelling via TSA scanner devices.

4th AMENDMENT METALLIC INK-PRINTED UNDERGARMENTS

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, meant to prevent unwarranted search and seizure, is readable on TSA body scanners.

The concept behind 4th Amendment Wear is simple: to get a few people to think a little more about their constitutional rights. The creators behind these 4th Amendment undergarments said- 

"It all started when we removed our shoes to go through an X-ray scanner. What a great canvas the top of a pair of socks are - a place to make a statement about the hassles we have to go through to be safe. So printing the 4th amendment on them seemed like a nice way to make a statement - without being a pain in the ass to the already harrowed TSA employees. In fact, many of us approve of and willingly undergo the airport security protocols. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't question whether it's the very best solution."

SCAN OR NO SCAN?

Heroic Hats & PALM TREE HAIR

Swell Palm tree hair and funkdafied hats... Jan Taminiau is a romanticist at heart, cultivating individualism, reverence to the natural world, physical and emotional passion through his garments. This line percolates delicate feminine concept for those ladies who arent afraid to be bold and utterly charming. Taminiau comes from a family of antique dealers, decorators and designers. This could form the basis for his love of fabric and technology, and continuation of being inspired by the romantic and nostalgic aspects of life.

I would feel like a ♛ contempo cinderella ♛ in one of these gowns, the romanticist in me is seeping out.

Photo Drama: True Grit : The Fighter : 127 Hours

Since I often watch several movies a week, I decided, why not share some movie drama, on this blog. I screen-shot the latest movies I've watched over the past week. I'd thoroughly recommend to watch all three, if you can! Out of the three I was most surprised with "True Grit" in a positive way.  I found 127 Hours to be a fantastic triumph of the human spirit, and I didn't expect "The Fighter" to be as amusing as it was......Next on the list is Black Swan.  Did you keep your eyes open for 127 Hours!

Month One Commences

If I were a good blogger- I'd have made my first post of the year on the 3rd January just like I said I would, but due to some serious unfortunate napping.. my tardiness is seeping through to 2011!    Should I still greet you with a Happeee New Year!!?   It's only right if I do!  Let’s rock 2011 shall we? and coincidentally this 500th post! Here’s to a year filled with: friends, fun, love, laughter, adventure, possibilities, and lots and lots of funkdafied art' music' movies' events' and avant-garde shenanigans !

This au courant year, I've been itching to refresh the look of my blog, I was tempted to take on a whole new blogging platform and design and code the blog personally, but I had to honestly take into consideration time-constraints. I didn't want to end up commencing this project half-heartedly, hence alternatively I updated my blog header and icons with some restiff. My additional novelty is the music pad at the bottom, added on a whim, it will pop up when I feel the desire to share some songs, this is as a result of my conscious effort to personalise my blog, so you know a tad more about this Guilty Hyena. 0_0

I'm truly glad I had a buzzing Christmas with the family, especially sharing the festive season for the first time with my lovable grandmother.  

 Cheers to a whole new year of brouhaha and all sorts of wunderbar! x
