The Designer Who Put Tina Turner in Those Hemlines

Image
[ad_1] The cardinal rule of dressing Tina Turner, the designer and costumer Bob Mackie said Wednesday night, was “you couldn’t cover anything up.” Her legs were simply “too beautiful.” Mr. Mackie, 84 and working on costumes for Pink’s upcoming tour, met Ms. Turner in the 1970s when she was a guest on the “Sonny & Cher Show.” He was a college dropout who early in his career worked for the famed costume designer Edith Head. From there, Mr. Mackie went out on his own, designing costumes for stars such as Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and then Cher. He and Ms. Turner got to know each other toward the end of her marriage to Ike Turner, the man whose abuse she suffered for around 20 years, before she walked away with nothing but a white, bloodstained Yves Saint Laurent pantsuit, two Jaguars and her last name. (Even that, Mr. Turner attempted to take away from her in court.) She had been spending time in Europe (where she later moved) and, because there wasn’t much of a budget, Mr. Mac

[ad_1] BUCHAREST: Social media personality Andrew Tate was moved to house arrest late on Friday after a Romanian court overturned prosecutors' request to keep him in police custody until late April. Tate, his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects have been under police detention since December 29 as prosecutors investigate them for suspected human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women.

He said the brothers were forbidden from contacting witnesses and from leaving the house without approval from authorities. "We do not yet have the court's motivation, we do not know whether there are other interdictions." "We're going home," Tristan told reporters in Romanian outside the prison. His brother did not comment. More than twenty supporters were waiting

The Urban Farming Revolution: Reshaping Access to Local Produce - News18

Image
[ad_1] Urban Farming & Local Produce are two trends that are bringing nature close to us Urban farming transforms vacant lots, rooftops, and small spaces into vibrant, green oases, contributing to healthier cities and a more sustainable food system In the hustle and bustle of city life, we often find ourselves yearning for a slice of nature, a breath of fresh air, and most importantly, some crisp, farm-fresh goodies to savour. Urban Farming & Local Produce are two trends that are bringing nature close to us. Urban farming, a growing trend, involves cultivating crops and raising livestock within city limits. It promotes sustainability, reduces food miles, and increases access to fresh, locally grown produce. This practice not only supports self-sufficiency but also strengthens the community by fostering a connection between residents and their food sources. Urban farming transforms vacant lots, rooftops, and small spaces into vibrant, green oases, contributing to healthier

Amir Khan doubles down on pro-Palestine stance | The Express Tribune

Image
[ad_1] Renowned former boxer Amir Khan has made yet another passionate and heartfelt call for action, using his platform to draw attention to the ongoing crisis in Palestine. In a series of powerful statements, Khan expressed his frustration and disappointment with those who have remained silent in the face of the tragic events in the region. "Nearly 2000 Palestinians murdered in a few days, over 500 children, over 300 women. Your [prayers] for everyone's statements had an equal effect [as that of] all lives matter, and the prayers were surely only for those you consider human. It's not enough to make a lukewarm, tragically neutral statement," began Khan. He further said, "Separate the colonizer from the colonized, point to the imbalance. Politicize these deaths - every death is inherently political, do not misrepresent anyone's corpse with your fear or desire for brand alignment. Those of you who use Arab and Muslim vernacular for decoration and aest

Back in April, Hensley took to social media to sound the alarm, tagging city officials in a tweet.  "After three dangerous floods last year, we are noticing flooding already on Rhode Island Ave with minimal rainfall so far. Can this stormwater drain please get inspected? There is no reason why this should already be backing up and causing significant concern if we get heavier storms," he tweeted.

Scientists explain alien comet 'Oumuamua's strange acceleration

[ad_1] This artist's illustration shows the wayward interstellar visitor 'Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah) racing toward the outskirts of our solar system. — Reuters WASHINGTON: The quirky comet 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar object found visiting our solar system, has been the subject of fascination since being spotted in 2017, including its curious acceleration as it hurtled away from the sun. Hypotheses were floated in light of its unexpected behaviour, including fleeting speculation that it might actually have been an alien spacecraft. A new study has offered a more sober explanation — that 'Oumuamua's speed-up was due to the release of hydrogen gas as the comet warmed up in the sunlight. 'Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-uh-MOO-uh) lacks the tail of gas and dust characteristic of many comets. It was previously described as being cigar-shaped but now is thought to resemble a rocky pancake. Smaller than originally estimated, it is now pegged
