Have any of Grandma’s old clothes laying around? Not sure what to do with that shirtwaist dress and petticoat in the year 2023? Then, the 1940s Ball, returning to Boulder this weekend, may be just the occasion to bust it out. The popular Boulder event marks its 15th year running as a full-scale, all-out vintage-themed bash set in World War II-era America. On Saturday, the team behind the 1940s Ball will transform the Boulder Municipal Airport, 3327 Airport Road, into what feels like a seaside naval base during the height of World War II — minus the threat of being hit with a missile mid-party. Attendees to the 1940s Ball dress to the nines in vintage garb. The ball returns to...
So many big action stars of Hollywood, Aalim Hakim points out, be it Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, or Jason Statham, are all bald. “It’s a dynamic style statement. Being bald commands attention,” says the hairstylist to several stars and sportsmen. Aalim, who has also been rocking a bald look for many years now, says it allows for several options when styling facial hair and working on your jawline as your face is naked. And you can make yourself more than visible with statement glasses and the right clothes. He loves the new freedom in fashion which he says is genderless. “It’s a blank canvas for you to throw paint on. Though being bald used to be a very masculine look,...
The Meteora monasteries are unlike anywhere. During my last visit, I was blown away by the incredible beauty I found here. Learn the history, how to visit Meteora, and more in this article. Nature is like an artist working on landscapes; using small brush strokes on a canvas, taking millions of years to paint, and yet the masterpiece is never completed. In the case of the Meteora monasteries, it seems that the painter went a bit more abstract than usual by abandoning the typically mild, harmonious lines and replacing them with powerful vertical strokes. Breaking the usual form and creating something that looks more alien than earthly. The outcome is a place scattered with monumental boulders — many of them column-shaped...
In Lazio, two hours north of Rome, I followed signs to “the town that is dying.” I walked across the footbridge to Civita di Bagnoregio, a striking medieval hill town that sits atop a volcanic pedestal in the middle of a valley, much of the town cleaved away over time from successive earthquakes and landslides. The Etruscans built their settlement on this mesa to get away from malaria down in the riverine valley, but they chose a doomed column of porous, volcanic tufa. Ever since a devastating earthquake in 1695, Civita has been in decline, shrinking from about 3,000 inhabitants to a recent full-time population that has drifted between six and ten, depending on the year and the season. As...
