If you watched the Superbowl Half-Time Show, you might have noticed Gazelle singing with J-Lo.
Well, of course not Gazelle herself, just a very enthusiastic Cosplayer whose name was Shakira. And she got great voice as well!
Joking aside, Shakira’s outfit during the show was strikingly similar to Gazelle’s in the latter’s concert. And we are not the only one who noticed. @PatrickSKling did (he got almost 350'000 likes, and 56'000 retweets!), and even the good fellas at TheHuffPost also noticed!
Let me introduce you to one of my favorite bicycles*, Gazelle Toer Populair. Love everything about this bike!
What’s your favorite bicycle like?
Photos taken one sunny afternoon in Freshwater, Sydney. *Although I have favorites, I think “the best bicycle” is one that efficiently takes you from A to B and doesn’t get stolen ;)
Pen Box (Qalamdan) Depicting Shah Isma'il in a Battle against the Uzbeks Object Name: Pen box Date: early 19th century Geography: Iran Culture: Islamic Medium: Papier-maché; painted and lacquered
Painted in a harmonious palette of pastels with touches of gold on a cream-colored background, this pen box is an unusual and sensitively drawn example of Persian lacquer from the dawn of the nineteenth century, possibly by the master court painter Mirza Baba (active 1780s–1810) or an artist in his circle. The top depicts one of the battles between the first Safavid ruler, Shah Isma'il I (r. 1501–24), and the Ottoman Turks in the second decade of the sixteenth century, possibly the Battle of Chaldiran of 1514. In the foreground, the two armies are shown in fierce battle against a row of cannons, at the time the ultimate symbol of the modern military. In the scenes on the two sides, which continue onto the rounded ends, men on horseback, accompanied by dogs, hunt bears and gazelles in a delicately painted Europeanizing landscape with buildings. The details of the landscape and architecture and the rendering of the figures and animals evince the continuation of the late Safavid Perso-European style into the early nineteenth century.
Chris Young, probably during Boxing Day Cross, at Kenilworth Common … he finished 2nd in 1982, so maybe the picture was taken that year ? More infos are welcome (source)
