Sexiest Men Of The '50s, '60s, '70s

<div style="text-align: justify;">During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, a new generation of people began to question and challenge the traditionally accepted cultural norms. The relatively conservative ideals that were formed around international war and population growth were beginning to evolve. World just move on from World War 2 and people around the world feel the need to express themselves freely. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During this time also the foundation for rock and roll music was formed, racial segregation was an issue, and the strict laws around sexual expression were being challenged. For this reason, the people that emerged as sex symbols during this era were extremely influential and important to popular culture.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below is men sex symbol from that era. People of new generation might find these bunch of people as old folks but back in the days, these guys are considered as god to most of people. If you not believe me, just ask your mom or grandma. The odd is, your mom and grandma surely know 90% of these guys.</div><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFF9LjoQUC1PaXCMyYo8jxrnT2rDh2L9JBylQCNvEfNRUzxrdwgEfFNWoJTeS6__TWzbK6wwNpD5Tdve9iidQG0Vp_Po19ke54SZGbC4oKQzv8A2ZOnzoaNLCTClUbZHD629pw6uzYBHg/s1600/Print+-+Sexiest+Men+of+the+%252750s%252C+%252760s%252C+%252770s+-+Photo+Gallery+-+LIFE.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFF9LjoQUC1PaXCMyYo8jxrnT2rDh2L9JBylQCNvEfNRUzxrdwgEfFNWoJTeS6__TWzbK6wwNpD5Tdve9iidQG0Vp_Po19ke54SZGbC4oKQzv8A2ZOnzoaNLCTClUbZHD629pw6uzYBHg/s640/Print+-+Sexiest+Men+of+the+%252750s%252C+%252760s%252C+%252770s+-+Photo+Gallery+-+LIFE.bmp" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Marlon Brando - "He was such a sensitive instrument.

Photo Fusion Then And Now

<div style="text-align: justify;">We've all taken trips down memory lane, but rarely does that involve an actual lane and memories of other people like the University of Florida's UF, Then & Now project.

Modern Celebrities Vintage Pin-Up

A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamour models, fashion models, or actresses.<br><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The term pin-up may also refer to drawings, paintings, and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos (see the list of pinup artists). The term was first attested to in English in 1941, however, the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The pin-up images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced and became an instant hit.</div><br>A gallery of modern female celebrities photographed as vintage 50′s pin-up models.

Inside Ed Gein Serial Killer's House

<div style="text-align: justify;">Edward Theodore Ed Gein (August 27, 1906 - July 26, 1984) was an American murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. After police found body parts in his house in 1957, Gein confessed to killing two women, tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and a Plainfield hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Initially found unfit to stand trial, following confinement in a mental health facility he was tried in 1968 for the murder of Worden and sentenced to life imprisonment, which he spent in a mental hospital. The body of Bernice Worden was found in Gein's shed, her head and the head of Mary Hogan were found inside his house. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Robert H. Gollmar, the judge in the Gein case, wrote: "<i>Due to prohibitive costs, Gein was tried for only one murder that of Mrs. Worden.</i>" With fewer than three murders attributed to him, Gein does not meet the traditional definition of a serial killer. His case influenced the creation of several fictional serial killers, including Norman Bates from Psycho, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jame Gumb from The Silence of the Lambs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On July 26, 1984, Gein died of respiratory and heart failure due to cancer at the age of 77 in Stovall Hall at the Mendota Mental Health Institute.

Retro-Modern Superhero Posters

<div style="text-align: justify;">These amazing retro-modern superhero posters, which we spotted over at My Modern Met, manage to give us those warm nostalgia feelings and a vision of the future all at once. Created by French artist and graphic designer Grégoire Guillemin as part of his exercises in style series, they remind us of an imaginary golden age of real-life superheroes that we desperately wish existed, like the ones portrayed in stories like Watchmen and The Incredibles.

Retro Celebrities Mug Shot

<div style="text-align: justify;">A mug shot, mugshot or booking photograph, is a photographic portrait taken after one is arrested. The purpose of the mug shot is to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of the arrested individual to allow for identification by victims and investigators. Most mug shots are two-part, with one side-view photo, and one front-view. They may be compiled into a mug book in order to determine the identity of a criminal. In high-profile cases mug shots may also be published by the media.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of all mug shot below, the one featuring Bill Gates is the one that catch my attention. What really happen actually is that on April 29th, 1975, at the age of 19, Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft) was arrested by the Albuquerque Police department (arrest record #52090). The charges were speeding and driving without a license. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bill Gates was caught speeding in his Porsche 911.

1901 - Construction Of RMS Titanic

<div style="text-align: justify;">RMS Titanic was a passenger liner that struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, and sank on 15 April 1912, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The largest passenger steamship in the world at the time, the Olympic-class RMS Titanic was owned by the White Star Line and constructed at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, UK. After setting sail for New York City on 10 April 1912 with 2,223 people on board, she hit the iceberg four days into the crossing, at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 am the following morning. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Titanic was designed by experienced engineers, using some of the most advanced technologies and extensive safety features of the time. The sinking of a passenger liner on her maiden voyage, the high loss of life and media frenzy over Titanic's famous victims, the legends about the sinking, the resulting changes in maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck have all contributed to the enduring interest in Titanic.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Titanic was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, UK, and designed to compete with the rival Cunard Line's Lusitania and Mauretania. Titanic, along with her Olympic-class sisters, Olympic and the soon-to-be-built Britannic (originally named Gigantic), were intended to be the largest, most luxurious ships ever to sail. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The designers were Lord Pirrie, a director of both Harland and Wolff and White Star, naval architect Thomas Andrews, Harland and Wolff's construction manager and head of their design department, and the Right Honourable Alexander Carlisle, the shipyard's chief draughtsman and general manager. Carlisle's responsibilities included the decorations, equipment and all general arrangements, including the implementation of an efficient lifeboat davit design. </div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuy1PAKF457vSXke371VSZD9pR-m4wCa9IJh46piklXMAsJqGUj-8oIZINOciKSB8TICVYwDByv84EJmMFgy9olFQVNzx78lBOlkdvB7z0Tlm38vOpJCZQnESFFB46GQrEsaXwzDwAvdK0/s1600/proxy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuy1PAKF457vSXke371VSZD9pR-m4wCa9IJh46piklXMAsJqGUj-8oIZINOciKSB8TICVYwDByv84EJmMFgy9olFQVNzx78lBOlkdvB7z0Tlm38vOpJCZQnESFFB46GQrEsaXwzDwAvdK0/s1600/proxy.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia-diORem2NfGoEoyOl_pAqFekTpBdvv3xAvJEEtWmZZCmih6k8dfNnLcbmie3yroT8h8Fd97nFYAJVeAX57nihGOFb24CzJN0f8S7w2exwvEu7nVHn6c5k_xci6_5aG0sqG2NEmCGYNSp/s1600/proxy+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia-diORem2NfGoEoyOl_pAqFekTpBdvv3xAvJEEtWmZZCmih6k8dfNnLcbmie3yroT8h8Fd97nFYAJVeAX57nihGOFb24CzJN0f8S7w2exwvEu7nVHn6c5k_xci6_5aG0sqG2NEmCGYNSp/s1600/proxy+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/1901-construction-of-rms-titanic.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

1954 - Construction Of Disneyland

<div style="text-align: justify;">Disneyland Park is a theme park located in Anaheim, California, owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division of the Walt Disney Company. Known as Disneyland when it opened on July 18, 1955, and still almost universally referred to by that name, it is the only theme park to be designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help determine an appropriate site for his project, Walt bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on July 17, 1955.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Disneyland has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with close to 600 million guests since it opened. In 2010, 15.98 million people visited the park, making it the second most visited park in the world that calendar year</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaRQxlLvfrG_Y7H2JOhPkIklpCym5Ovd3eXLwsQXh5Op6BS4Jrr8OqlANWzJgkt53x22V1KSmZnfi6-BUm48HMQNtj-_0dB06yhbBfgA3thfg0EOwvnhhH3sAqbdqIDQN2oclqazXf0nzT/s1600/proxy+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaRQxlLvfrG_Y7H2JOhPkIklpCym5Ovd3eXLwsQXh5Op6BS4Jrr8OqlANWzJgkt53x22V1KSmZnfi6-BUm48HMQNtj-_0dB06yhbBfgA3thfg0EOwvnhhH3sAqbdqIDQN2oclqazXf0nzT/s1600/proxy+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPapan2EvL30kK10iooj6ogz2iSgEw7pBgdxRa98bKe4wp0_WFzd4tAVGIsf9IXT2L8d-P2AAz560o_1a5YhbdiS_unUxlCEtj9OCTdufasH_wHNZXyQYmMfP7CZKf70jD0ihBezJPQ4a/s1600/proxy+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPapan2EvL30kK10iooj6ogz2iSgEw7pBgdxRa98bKe4wp0_WFzd4tAVGIsf9IXT2L8d-P2AAz560o_1a5YhbdiS_unUxlCEtj9OCTdufasH_wHNZXyQYmMfP7CZKf70jD0ihBezJPQ4a/s1600/proxy+%25282%2529.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/1954-construction-of-disneyland.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

History Of Coca Cola Bottles

<div style="text-align: justify;">The history of Coca Cola seems to be quite jumbled by myths and facts, and in order to retell the whole story the right way, I guess we would have to go right to the source, the Coca Cola Company itself. However, to explain the shape of the beverage, there is only one picture needed. It's one of those images that says a million words instead of printing them in text. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The shape of the bottle means everything. It's all about beauty and desire. I don't think any other beverage has the same beauty when it comes to its packaging.

Evolution Of Cheerleaders

<div style="text-align: justify;">The evolution of cheerleading from the early days of a male-dominated cheering section, 1950s innocent pom-poms and modest sweaters to eye-sizzling barely-there, skin-revealing outfits.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cheerleading can be traced back to the late 19th century United States, when crowds started chanting encouragement to home teams. Credit for organizing the first cheers comes courtesy of University of Minnesota student Johnny Campbell, who encouraged students to chant: <i>Rah, rah, rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-so-ta!</i> during the 1898 season. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cheerleading was an all-male domain for decades and it wasn't until the 1920s that women started to join the ranks. Today more than 90 per cent of cheerleading participants are female, though men still join squads at the college level.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pom-poms have been the cheerleaders accessory of choice since the 1930s is actually derived from the French word pompe, tuft of ribbons.
