O Black History Month está quase chegando ao fim. Entretanto, há alguns minutos atrás recebi um presente via Facebook de meu amigo Charles Townsend: um link para fotos históricas do fotógrafo Charles "Teenie" Harris (1908-1988). O acervo conta com mais de 80.000 imagens e pertence ao Carnegie Museum of Art localizado em Pittsburgh, PA. Até 7 de abril desse ano ocorrerá por lá a exibição Teenie Harris, Photographer: An American StoryO fotográfo ganhou o apelido "teenie" devido ao formato de suas fotos. Teenie é derivativo de teeny que em português significa informal. "Teenie" Harris fazia suas fotos apenas num take, tentando absorver ao máximo a informalidade e desconstração do/as fotografado/as.  Confira abaixo algumas imagens.  Não vou colocar legenda nas fotos com o nome das celebridades por preguiça e para a brincadeira de descobrir quem é ficar mais divertida.

The benefit of having beautifully manicured nails at all
times is a helpful incentive to stop the nail biting habit.

rid of the nail biting habit permanently. Request loved ones and workmates to let you recognize when your arms are in your mouth.

When covering the area, it should be enough to use a
regular bandage. As a word of caution you should
also never try to manually remove the warts yourself, as that can lead to
the virus spreading. There are a wide range of self tanners to choose from at
department stores, but why not treat yourself to a spray tan at your nearest
tanning salon.

Apparently, the duct tape, or any other tape, suffocates the wart as
it cuts off oxygen and alloww the body's immune system to kill the wart. Once your mole is dry, cut a piece of duct tape three times the size of the mole. Others think tanning and sunning themselves will dry up their skin and pimples to eliminate their acne.
