7 Insane Weight-Loss Methods From The Past

<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/insane-ways-women-tried-lose-weight-vintage_n_4848140.html?utm_hp_ref=style&ir=Style">7 Insane Weight-Loss Methods From The Past</a>: Ever since female beauty -- and worth -- became <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/05/perfect-body-change-beauty-ideals_n_4733378.html">equated with thinness</a>, women have tried some truly unbelievable ways to lose weight. <br /><br /><br /><br />In recent months, Jessica Alba <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/23/jessica-alba-body-image_n_3976228.html">wore a corset</a> for three months straight after childbirth to regain her shape, and a Beverly Hills surgeon claimed that patients are paying him $2,000 to sew postage-stamp sized <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/08/tongue-patch-diet-hard-to-swallow_n_3404989.html">squares of mesh onto their tongues</a> in order to force them onto a liquid-only diet. <br /><br /><br /><br />Unfortunately, as horrifying and bizarre as these stories sound now, they're hardly isolated incidents. And while we'd like to think that women's relationships with food -- or at least the marketing surrounding some parts of the diet industry -- have gotten slightly more sane in the last few years, back in the day, people tried some seriously wacky things to augment their bodies. <br /><br /><br /><br />Here are seven unbelievable ways women tried to lose weight in the past, guaranteed to make you want nothing but a healthy relationship with your figure: <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>1. The "Spot Reducer"</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="spot reducer" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1641693/thumbs/r-SPOT-REDUCER-large570.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />According to an ad placed in the Oct. 1, 1950 issue of <a href="http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19501001&id=fqgkAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6w0EAAAAIBAJ&pg=3671,2566340">The Milwaukee Sentinel</a>, "thousands" have lost weight by using the gadget, "handsomely made of lightweight aluminium and rubber," to "break down fatty tissues." <br /><br /><br /><br />We suspect the "Spot Reducer" doubled as a rather scary vibrator.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>2. Wonder Sauna Hot Pants</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="wonder sauna hot pants" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644362/thumbs/o-WONDER-SAUNA-HOT-PANTS-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />The premise behind these terrifying garments is that they force you to sweat, thus ridding you of water weight and reducing unwanted inches around your hips and thighs. A similar product was advertised in the 1972 <a href="http://christmascatalogs.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/stretch-lounger-and-sauna-pants.html">Spiegel Christmas Catalog</a> -- because nothing says "I love you" like pants made of heavy-gauge vinyl. These may have actually helped users drop some water weight, but only temporarily. (And <em>no</em> weight loss is worth wearing such a heinous outfit.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>3. "Slenderizing Salons"</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="pat ogden" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1552690/thumbs/o-PAT-OGDEN-570.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />No, these are not instruments of torture. In the 1940s, women voluntarily went to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/09/vintage-photos-workout_n_4567456.html">"slenderizing salons"</a> to have their "problem areas" massaged by a variety of Edward Scissorhands-esque machines that claimed to stimulate muscles and break down fat. We remain deeply skeptical. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>4. Anklets</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="anklets" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644442/original.jpg" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />According to this vintage ad, "cankles" have long been an issue. But never fear, these "medicated" anklets and other compression garments (the neckpiece is particularly scary) were invented to "dissolve" your excess fat. Pretty sure that's not how fat works...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>5. Vibrating Belts.</strong> <br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="vibrating belt" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644470/thumbs/o-VIBRATING-BELT-570.jpg?4" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Products like the Nadco Exercise Belt promised to "vibrate" your hips and thighs to slimness. Interested parties can still purchase one of these contraptions on eBay. (We recommend <em>not</em> doing so.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>6. "Fat-reducing" soaps.</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="obesity soap" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1641566/thumbs/o-OBESITY-SOAP-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Products like this La-Mar "reducing" soap advertised in the 1920s claimed to magically wash away "superfluous" body fat. Sounds perfectly legitimate. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>7. Thin Music</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="thin music" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644487/thumbs/o-THIN-MUSIC-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />There is no information as to how this record, produced by Wallace Reducing Records, is supposed to work. An accompanying exercise regime? Hypnosis? Brainwashing messages? We'll probably never know. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>What other scary weight-loss tactics from the past should we know about?

This 4-Year-Old Makes Paper Dresses With Her Mom -- And They Keep Getting More Amazing

<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/4-year-old-paper-dresses-fashion-by-mayhem_n_4855545.html?utm_hp_ref=style&ir=Style">This 4-Year-Old Makes Paper Dresses With Her Mom -- And They Keep Getting More Amazing</a>: <em>By Ilana Wiles, <a href="http://www.mommyshorts.com/2014/02/mini-fashion-designer-creates-dresses-out-of-paper-and-tape.html">Mommy Shorts</a></em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644188/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />I started following <a href="http://instagram.com/2sisters_angie">@2sisters_angie</a> a little over a year ago. Back then she was posting the typical stuff you see from moms on Instagram -- pics of her daughter at the park, pics of her daughter eating breakfast and lots of photos of her daughter playing dress-up.<br /><br /><br /><br />You know, the same stuff I post.<br /><br /><br /><br />Then, about nine months ago, Angie's feed started to change. It became clear Angie's daughter (she calls her "Mayhem") was more interested in fashion than the average 4-year-old. Mayhem shunned her store-bought princess dresses and started wrapping herself with scarves and sheets creating her own styles.<br /><br /><br /><br />Then one day Angie got tired of finding her clothes in Mayhem's toy box and suggested they make a dress out of paper. Mayhem loved the idea and they haven't stopped creating paper dresses since.<br /><br /><br /><br />I've been continually amazed every time Angie's pictures pop up in my feed. The dresses started like this:<br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644190/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?5" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />And over the last few months, I've watched them evolve to this:<br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644192/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Having a 4-year-old daughter of my own, whose biggest fashion moment was putting a red bow around the waist of her green Super Soccer Stars t-shirt and calling herself "Peter Pan," I had a few questions for Angie. Namely...<br /><br /><br /><br />How much is done by you and how much is done by your daughter?<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>The ideas are pretty much a 50/50 split, but Mayhem constructs a lot more than most people would probably believe. That's one of the best things about this project, I see her learning new skills every single day. At this point, she knows exactly how many sheets of construction paper she needs to make herself a top and a bottom. She can lay the entire thing out and tape it together all by herself. Definitely, the more complex designs have more of my time invested, but she's literally always beside me learning something new if she's not tearing or taping or gluing while I am.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644195/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Do you have an example of a dress she constructed on her own?<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>She made the dress below entirely by herself. I wasn't even home and she couldn't wait to show it to me and have me photograph it.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644210/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Are all the dresses made of paper?<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>Most of the time. We use a lot of construction paper, but we also use tissue paper, wrapping paper, and gift bags. We have also used silk scarves, tulle, and aluminum foil. Basically, if we can find it laying around the house and it's pliable, it's fair game. Clear packing tape and glue are our adhesives of choice. </em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644213/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644215/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644220/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?4" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Where does she find her inspiration? Is she watching runway shows and award shows?<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>We pull inspiration from wherever we go. The shark dress, for example, came as a direct result of her first visit to an aquarium. </em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644225/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?5" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>She also gets a lot of ideas from shows that she watches or books we read, like Minnie Mouse, My Little Pony and Elsa from "Frozen."</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644228/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644241/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644245/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?4" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>Sometimes I'll Google images the day after award shows, so she can see the dresses worn on the red carpet and pick which ones she wants to make.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644249/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644255/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644257/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644260/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>We also leave a tab open on our iPad with a search for "project runway dresses" so that we can quickly reference those as well. She's never actually seen an episode of Project Runway, but I did show her a clip one time explaining that there is a show all about making dresses and I thought she might hyperventilate.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644266/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644271/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644274/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Have you always been crafty? Were you a fashion designer in any sense before this started?<br /><br /><em><br /><br />No and no. I actually don't consider myself to be the least bit crafty. Don't ask me to build something out of popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners ... you'll be incredibly disappointed! Cutting and taping paper is about all we do. And the most ironic part of this whole project is that I am literally the least fashionable person you will ever meet. In reality, I know nothing about fashion and cannot sew a straight line to save my life. A friend suggested I could start sewing these creations from scraps of fabric and I laughed at her. I'll take paper and tape any day over getting anywhere near a sewing machine! </em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644276/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Do you think this is going to be a lifelong interest for Mayhem?<br /><br /><br /><br /><em>After we made our first paper dress, Mayhem requested another the very next day. Then another the day after that. And no one is more surprised than I am, that she still wants to make them nearly 9 months later. I have no idea if it will continue, but as long as she wants to make them, we'll keep doing it.</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="1643876" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1644280/thumbs/o-1643876-570.jpg?6" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Follow @2sisters_angie and #fashionbymayhem on Instagram.

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'Legally Blonde'

<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/legally-blonde-trivia_n_4847361.html?utm_hp_ref=style&ir=Style">10 Things You Didn't Know About 'Legally Blonde'</a>: Get out your pink feather pens and heart-shaped notebooks, people! It's time for some mind-boggling, little-known facts about everyone's secret favorite movie, "Legally Blonde."<br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="legallyblondeaccessorize" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/legallyblondeaccessorize.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br />1. <strong>As stated in her contract, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/trivia">Witherspoon got to keep all of the outfits</a> she wore in the film. Can you say best deal ever? We'll take those "last season Prada shoes," if you don't want them, Reese. </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="legallyblondeoutfits" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/legallyblondeoutfits.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br />2. <strong>You know those opening credits where Elle is brushing her amazingly perfect hair? Welp, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/trivia">that's not Witherspoon</a>. She was in England wrapping up filming "The Importance of Being Earnest." Kind of disappointed.</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="legallyblondehair" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/legallyblondehair.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br />3. <strong>In Amanda Brown's "Legally Blonde" novel, on which the film is based, Elle Woods attends Stanford University. <a href="http://alumni.stanford.edu/get/page/magazine/article/?article_id=31765">Stanford, however, didn't approve of the script</a>. The producers' second choice, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/trivia">University of Chicago, also refused</a> because of the scene where Elle's professor makes sexual advances toward her. Finally, Elle was accepted at Harvard. Not bad. </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="46685ce0-344a-0131-f32c-5600c2006058" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/46685ce0-344a-0131-f32c-5600c2006058.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br />4. <strong> Reese Witherspoon prepped for her role by kicking it with <a href="http://movies.about.com/library/weekly/aa062801a.htm">real sorority girls at USC</a>.</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="sororityellewoods" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/sororityellewoods.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br />5. <strong>Elle's <a href="http://nextsteptestprep.com/tests/lsat-tutors/lsat-scoring/">LSAT score of 179</a> puts her in the top 0.1 percent.</strong> <br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="whatlikeitshardreesewitherspoon" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/whatlikeitshardreesewitherspoon.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>6. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/trivia">Tori Spelling was considered</a> for the role of Elle Woods, but we all know who it went to.</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="mereesewitherspoon1" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/mereesewitherspoon1.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>7. Chloe Sevigny turned down the role of Vivian, which went to Selma Blair. Sevigny later said in an interview that she <a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/94214/chloe_sevigny_i_love_being_a_gay_icon/">"didn't realize the film's potential at the time."</a> </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="viviennelegallyblonde1" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/viviennelegallyblonde1.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>8. Test audiences really wanted to know what happened to Elle after her successful court case. This meant that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250494/trivia">Witherspoon and Luke Wilson had to sport wigs</a> for the added graduation scene, as Witherspoon had cut her locks short for "The Importance of Being Earnest" and Wilson had shaved his head for "The Royal Tenenbaums." </strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="we-did-itellewoods" src="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/we-did-itellewoods.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>9.

9 Times The Women Of 'Scandal' Proved They Know What's Up

<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/26/scandal-women-abc-mellie-olivia-pope_n_4816793.html?utm_hp_ref=style&ir=Style">9 Times The Women Of 'Scandal' Proved They Know What's Up</a>: Shonda Rhimes knows how to bring some pretty badass ladies to life on the small screen -- and the women of <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/scandal">"Scandal"</a> are no exception. With the return of the soapy political-fixer drama on Feb. 27, it's worth remembering just why so many of us are hopelessly caught up in the web of Olivia Pope & Associates, despite the fact that almost every character on the show just might be a <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2013/10/07/2741781/scandal-fitz-the-worst/">sort of terrible person</a>. (Two words: red wine.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Here are nine ways the ladies of "Scandal" get it right:</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />1. They know when to put their foot down with a romantic partner.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/4XaV2bedvFSBG/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2. They realize that sometimes there's no greater pleasure than contemplating your day with a glass of red wine.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/HWnrn0IgUHmz6/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...Or a beer and a "cheers."<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/wzACDSl14zCh2/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3. They don't let powerful men push them around.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/PEI25LcpIh1Xq/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />4. They know when to put aside their differences with other women and work together.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/YCHyWLiDBvZLO/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5. They aren't satisfied just sitting on the sidelines. These women take action.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/lhGHDp8cjizZe/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />6. And when it comes to their work, they exude some serious confidence. (No impostor syndrome, here!)<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/1QBwJutTxj0d2/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />7. They realize that sometimes it's necessary to push back a little to get what you want.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/gKjiglkDcLCLu/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />8. They set boundaries in their relationships, romantic and otherwise, when necessary.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/BxDOZfnEVUUcE/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />9. And they know how to weather a heartbreak with grace.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/tcJkL0gwi5zLq/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So, cheers to you, Shonda Rhimes.<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/xjtqzwlRwXWq4/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Because, really, who can resist women who make entrances like this?<br /><br /><div><img src="https://d16jfyletng9p5.cloudfront.net/media/udMmMRa4xjIT6/giphy.gif" style="height: auto; max-width: 940px;" width="570px" /></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: both;"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><a href="http://thefireboys.blogspot.com/">FASHION WEEK</a> - USA Fashion and Music News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://google-news-blogger.blogspot.com/">GOOGLE NEWS</a> - Google News Blogger</b></li><li><b><a href="http://palcomp3.com/nelioguerson/">PALCO MP3</a> - Download Music Legally Direct From Artist</b></li><li><b><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Nelio+Guerson+and+Carlos+Guerson">LAST FM</a> - Download Music Legally Direct From Artist</b></li><li><b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105152587910220373689/">WOMEN COMMUNITY</a> - Women Communty Photography Videos Beauty</b></li><li><b><a href="http://music-video-photo-blog.blogspot.com/">DISNEY CHANNEL</a> - Photos and Music News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://justin-bieber-images-google-news.blogspot.com/">BABY JUSTIN BIEBER</a> - Google Images Google News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://lady-gaga-images-google-news.blogspot.com/">LADY GAGA</a>  - Google Images Google News</b></li><li><b><a href="http://nature-universe-photography.blogspot.com/">UNIVERSE PICTURES</a> - Google Images Nature Pictures</b></li><li><b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105477357727783490766">VICTORIA´S SECRET COMMUNITY</a> - Victoria´s Secret Fashion Show Photos</b></li></ul></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div></div></div>
