There are many normal jobs in the world -- mechanic, teacher and salesman all come to mind. But why have one of those when you can gun for a job few even know exist? A job so obscure it won't be cool for years? Yes, we're talking about hipster jobs.

From rooftop gardener to fountain pen doctor, hipster jobs fill two purposes for the independent-spirited, oft-tattooed individual. One, you make enough to afford that Japanese-style siphon coffee you so desire. And two, no one can accuse you of "selling out" if you're working a job the IRS doesn't even have a classification for, right?

Take the quiz below to find out which real-life hipster job would best match your ironic and utterly unprecedented lifestyle!

Haunting Photos Bring The Great War Back To Life

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I, the 4-year conflict that cost the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians from all parts of the world.

Starting in 1914, The Great War plunged Europe into darkness, turning parts of the continent into a swamp of death, destruction and misery. Soldiers died by the hundreds of thousands in kilometers-long trenches, bombardments leveled entire cities and towns and thousands were forced to flee their homes or battle hunger and poverty if they remained behind.

One hundred years after the beginning of the war, photographer Peter Macdiarmid revisited some of the key locations of the conflict. He overlaid his pictures with shots taken during the war years, bringing the haunting conflict of 1914 to 1918 back to life.

This 'Save The Date' Video Is So Freakishly Boss, It Might Rival Kimye's

What happens when two San Francisco lawyers decide to tie the knot?

This video.

According to the Above the Law blog, this is the "save the date" wedding video for Bambo Obaro and Janice Jentz -- a fourth-year Weil Gotshal associate and a family law practitioner, respectively -- who met at the University of San Francisco Law.

The couple's epic trailer features everything from night shades to an insane engagement ring and dress to a steamy nightclub scene and even a helicopter.

Yes, a helicopter, because why not.

"Here’s what my fiancé had to say about the video: 'What the f**k did I just watch' Expertly stated, babe," writes Staci Zaretsky on Above the Law.

Seriously though, what the f**k did we just watch, and does Kim Kardashian and Kanye know about this yet? We hope they take it as an opportunity to create a one-up response video.

Though Obaro and Jentz have created what might be the most boss wedding video of all time, no official venue or location have been released yet... but oh how we wish we were invited.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this piece misattributed the quote from Staci Zaretsky's Above the Law post to Obaro.

Sometimes, famous works of literature and well-timed tweets are downright indistinguishable.

Then again, other times they're not. See what we mean by watching the clip above in which Conan and "Silicon Valley" star Kumail Nanjiani try to guess whether certain sentences are famous quotes from literature or merely 140-character tweets.

Alec Baldwin and Garrett Jackson, Mitt Romney's former personal aide, got into a sparring match on Twitter on Wednesday after Baldwin tweeted praise for the upcoming documentary "Above All Else," about the Keystone XL oil pipeline in Texas.







Following Jackson's dig, Baldwin went on the offensive in a series of tweets that the actor has since deleted. Jackson posted many of them on his own feed, with particular attention paid to the comments Baldwin made about Jackson being on his knees in his Twitter photo.






















HuffPost Entertainment contacted representatives for Baldwin, who had no comment on the matter. Baldwin didn't make direct comment on the Jackson tweets on his feed, but he did post the following:




Baldwin also took a swipe at ABC News, which reported his battle with Jackson.




Last year, Baldwin apologized to GLAAD after posting a string of tweets, including some with homophobic language, that were directed at a reporter for the Daily Mail.

Hafez Nazeri Is Bringing Rumi's Words To Life (And Fighting For World Peace)

0
0
For nearly 800 years, the mystical Sufi poet Rumi's profound and empowering wisdom has inspired countless seekers, both within the Sufi tradition and beyond, with his timeless message of peace, personal transformation and inner wisdom. Following Rumi's timeless words and his own love of the mystical poet, the Iranian composer, vocalist and instrumentalist Hafez Nazeri is bringing the poet's timeless philosophy to both Eastern and Western audiences through a large-scale musical project inspired by Sufi wisdom.

Released last month by Sony Classical, Nazeri's album Untold is the first installment of the musician's ongoing Rumi Symphony Project, his long-running effort to "cross cultural boundaries through a new, universal blending of Eastern and Western classical music." The ambitious new album features 38 Grammy award-winning musicians, and took nearly 5,000 studio hours in five countries to complete.

"Untold is not just an album, it's all of my ideas in one single recording," Nazeri tells The Huffington Post. "It's the result of nearly 13 years of my life."

The seeds of Nazeri's magnum opus were planted early in life. His own father, the celebrated Persian vocalist Shahram Nazeri (who contributed vocals to Untold), was the first musician to ever set Rumi's poetry to music. Nazeri followed in his father's footsteps from an early age, growing up in a household full of Rumi's poetry and Sufi philosophy and letting those influences inspire his work.

"I've grown up in a house where Rumi played a significant role," says Nazeri. "I come from a Kurdish family, and my father and family had loved Rumi and practiced Sufism for many years. Rumi was a very significant part of my life since I was three years old."

Nazeri was exposed to many different types of music through his father, and grew up teaching classical music to his fathers' students. He was deeply moved from an early age by Iranian music of the 14th and 15th century, and of course, by the words of Rumi.

Rumi's philosophy shows us the path to reach God inside each of ourselves, Nazeri explains, helping us "to find the true nature of our existence and being by awakening our consciousness." Rumi's poetry also focuses on an inner journey to finding love -- as the poet once famously wrote, “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Rumi is the most-quoted and cross-culturally celebrated representative of Sufism -- the mystical dimension of Islam that focuses on inner experience and personal transformation over ritual, tradition and dogma -- which emphasizes the power of music and views creative expression and aesthetic experience as a path to awakening the spirit.

Armed with a love of Rumi's poetry and years of musical training, Nazeri moved from Tehran to New York, and has played sold-out shows across the U.S., including a critically acclaimed performance at Carnegie Hall in 2009. Inspired by his new surroundings, he began to weave more Western themes and composition elements into his work.

Having developed a unique style of harmony and orchestration, Nazeri's work is characterized by a melding traditional Iranian music with the complexity of modern Western classical music into a new and undefined genre of music. "This product is no longer Western nor Eastern -- it is a balance of them both," says Nazeri.

Creating a musical product that balances these opposing inspirations has been his biggest creative challenge, says Nazeri. But his goal with the Rumi Symphony Project and his career as a whole transcends the creative -- after witnessing years of political conflict in his home country, Nazeri hopes that his musical melding of East and West will help to ease tensions between Iran and the West.

"Our country has contributed to the evolution of philosophy, music and literature for many many hundreds of years in a very impactful way," says Nazeri. "But it has also been misinterpreted by the world through a lack of communication.... I hope that one day I will have the honor to represent the reality of my beautiful country and culture through the resonance of my music."

With a growing presence in the U.S., Nazeri is doing just that. The virtuoso joined forces with Deepak Chopra last year, who was inspired by his project and became a supporter. Chopra translated Rumi's poems for Nazeri's recording and wrote an introduction to Untold. Later this year, Chopra will join Nazeri for a Los Angeles concert to celebrate Rumi's universal message of peace, love and unity.

"We are living at a time where there is no map anymore and no boundaries," says Nazeri. "We are all becoming part of the same map through the Internet and social media. We really have to be more understanding of one another and music can have a really big role in doing that."

Dove 'Patches' Ad Tricks Women Into Believing That A Sticker Can Solve Low Self-Esteem

If you could purchase a magical patch that would make you feel better about your body, would you do it?

In a new marketing campaign for Dove, psychologist and body image specialist Ann Kearney-Cooke presented "real women" with the "RB-X" patch, a "revolutionary product developed to enhance the way women perceive their own beauty." The women were asked to keep a video diary for two weeks chronicling any changes they felt. Every woman featured in the final spot agreed that wearing the patch made them feel better about themselves, which in turn affected their behavior. One participant was more open to approaching guys, another dreaded shopping less than before, and another proudly wore clothes that revealed her arms -- something she would not have done before wearing the patch.

At the end of the video, Kearney-Cooke revealed to each woman that the patch was just a placebo -- and that any change in attitude simply came down to the wearers' state of mind.

"I was really expecting there to be something," participant Brihtney says through her tears. "To see that there's nothing, it's just... it's crazy."

After watching the spot, The Huffington Post reached out to Dove's PR team to verify that the women featured are not actresses. "The women in the film are not actresses," a representative told HuffPost via email. "Dove hosted an open audition for an undisclosed documentary to find women to participate in the film. Dr. Ann Kearney-Cooke presented it as an experiment in which the women were invited to wear a beauty patch that was created to help them feel more beautiful."

In one sense, the ad is empowering, proving that women do have the ability to change how they feel about themselves simply through the power of their mind. "I'm beautiful, I'm strong, and I'm independent... I can just be whoever I want to," participant Katelyn said on discovering the patch had no effect. On the other hand, the "experiment" framework of the ad seems slightly manipulative -- and suggests to women that their low self-esteem can be easily-cured with a couple weeks of positive thinking.

Kate Dries at Jezebel critiqued the commercial, arguing that its underlying message isn't about women's empowerment, but Dove's branding:
It's definitely true that positive thinking works miracles. But that's not what this campaign is really about; it's about teaching women that Dove knows better. Dove is smarter. You should buy Dove because they're on your side and they can teach you things.


While the "beauty patch" experiment had good intentions, it's hard to watch the video without feeling a bit skeptical. Next time, we hope that Dove can make women feel good about themselves without manipulating them first.

Venezuelans Post 'Better Naked Than' Photos To Protest Brutality Against Opposition (NSFW)

After a university student was beaten and stripped naked by masked government supporters in Venezuela last week, outraged men and women have taken to social media to show their solidarity. They got naked, but on their own terms.

Using the hashtag #MejorDesnudosQue, translated as "Better Naked Than," many Venezuelans posted nude photos of themselves to express their disgust over the brutal crackdown on the months-long opposition protests in their country.

Beginning in February, Venezuelans took to the streets in frustration at spiraling inflation and high crime rates. Largely peaceful rallies were soon marked by increasing violence, with protesters blaming security forces and vigilantes for the deadly turn of events.

President Nicolás Maduro and opposition politicians agreed on Tuesday to hold talks in an attempt to defuse the crisis, in which at least 39 people have been killed, the Associated Press reported.

According to BBC Mundo, the social media protest was started by Ricardo Cie, an advertising executive in Caracas, after he saw a video of the student being assaulted on Central University of Venezuela (UCV) campus.

After Cie and his friends posted a group image, the hashtags #MejorDesnudosQue and #DesnudosConLaUCV (Naked with the Central University of Venezuela) started trending in Venezuela, the BBC reported.




The first to cry today #BetterToBeNaked than silent about the abuse.

Many Venezuelans then posted their own images, with slogans expressing frustration at the divisions and abuses in their country. Al Jazeera notes that government supporters tried to push back against the Better Naked Than posts, lampooning them as shameful.

Here are some of the Better Naked Than posts, with captions below.




Better naked than humiliated and silenced by the violence in our Venezuela.




Better naked than without hope.




Better naked than dead, without education, without food, without culture, without dreams.




Better naked than to allow the continued restriction of my rights.




Better naked than fighting with my best friend because he is Chavista.




Better naked than with hatred and no future.

Frank Lloyd Wright Died 55 Years Ago, But His Legacy Lives On In These Stunning Buildings

0

Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright once called his Darwin D. Martin house in Buffalo, N.Y. "the most perfect thing of its kind in the world -- a domestic symphony, true, vital, comfortable," but those words could easily apply to any of the numerous homes Wright created during his prolific career.

Wednesday marks the 55th anniversary of the death of the architecture and design legend, who left behind iconic constructions like The Robie House in Chicago and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. 2014 also marks what the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation calls its "Legacy Year:" the 125th anniversary of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Wright's longtime residence of Oak Park, Ill.

In honor of the master, HuffPost Home gathered 27 of Wright's most important, beloved and beautiful designs.

Roslyn Kind Plays New York's 54 Below, 'Broadway Showstoppers' With Carolee Carmello Preps Debut

0

As she gears up for her two-night stint at New York's 54 Below, Roslyn Kind would like to set the record straight. Although her 1969 debut album, “Give Me You,” is often cited as having been recorded two months after her high school graduation, the singer says her life in the performing arts actually began much earlier than that.

“The truth is, I was graduating at 9 a.m. to ‘Pomp and Circumstance,’ at Julia Richman High School [in New York] and by noontime that day, I was at the studio,” Kind recalled. “I couldn’t get out of there fast enough to go start my career. “

The 63-year-old veteran performer and half-sister of Barbra Streisand has had to deal with comparisons to her legendary sibling all her life. Like Streisand’s 2012 Back To Brooklyn Tour, Kind sees her 54 Below show, “It’s Been A While,” as a celebration of her New York origins, as evidenced by the inclusion of one number, "I've Got A Crush On New York Town." But Kind promises that her act, which features new material alongside “theater songs, pop songs and classic ballads” and is her first New York nightclub gig in two decades, will be very much her own.

Kind's sold-out April 6 performance saw her crooning tunes from her auspicious debut, including "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Fool on a Hill," as well as Jerry Herman's "It Only Takes A Moment" and Ann Hampton Callaway's "Perfect," according to Broadway World. She's set for an encore show on April 20.

“My basic reason for being in this business is because it gives me joy to bring others joy,” Kind said. “So my goal is to make my audience happy, especially in today’s time, with all of the negativity. If I can lighten someone’s heart even just for 75 minutes or so….you’re giving a gift.”

"Broadway Showstoppers" featuring Carolee Carmello and more

“I was a business major in college and had no intention of ever getting into show business,” Tony Award-nominated actress Carolee Carmello recalls. “I tried out for a play in my dorm, so that was sort of the beginning of the end for me.”

The role, as it turns out, was Nancy in “Oliver” -- and that character's signature song, “As Long As He Needs Me,” is one of several showstoppers Carmello will perform during the aptly-titled “Broadway Showstoppers!” show. Directed by Stephen DeAngelis, the April 10 performance will also feature New York stage veterans Mandy Gonzalez, Telly Leung, Robert Creighton and Kissy Simmons. According to Carmello, the stars promise an energetic set comprised of “songs that either inspired us to get into the business, or were particularly important to our careers.”

Carmello’s numbers include one of the most beloved songs from “Mamma Mia!,” as well as “Funny Girl,” in which she was slated to star but never got the chance to.

Recalling the tremendous reaction “The Winner Takes It All” received when she had to perform it in a SoHo clothing store during her “Mamma Mia!” run, Carmello said, “It’s always nice to hear interesting, original stuff, but I think that people just gravitate towards the songs they know.”

"Broadway Showstoppers" plays New York's 54 Below on April 10, while Roslyn Kind returns to the club on April 20.

CIA Used Red Hot Chili Peppers Songs To Torture Prisoner

0
0
Last week, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee voted to declassify the CIA's "enhanced interrogation" report, a 6,600-page document explaining procedures used after Sept. 11. One interrogator spoke to Al Jazeera, revealing that a detainee identified as Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn Abu Zubaydah was tortured while listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers on loop.

The source, who wished to stay anonymous, said the interrogations happened from May to July of 2002, and did not reveal which songs were used. The CIA's torture methods detailed in the reports are extensive and include sleep depravation, shackling and dousing naked prisoners in water to keep them awake.

But this isn't the first time a hard rock -- or even a slightly louder -- band has been rumored to be the soundtrack to U.S. torture. Earlier this year, Canadian industrial band Skinny Puppy invoiced the U.S. government for using their music for torture at Guantanamo Bay. At the time, the band's founder cEvin Key told the Phoenix New Times, "We heard through a reliable grapevine that our music was being used in Guanatamo Bay prison camps to musically stun or torture people." The ordeal inspired the band's latest record, "Weapons," but Key spoke out against the government's tactics. "Because we make unsettling music, we can see it being used in a weird way. But it doesn’t sit right with us," he said.

HuffPost Entertainment reached out to Red Hot Chili Peppers' representation, but did not receive immediate response.

These Photos Of '90s New York Will Make You Feel Old

Gregoire Alessandrini was only supposed to spend one year in New York. When the French film student and writer arrived in the early 1990s, however, he fell in love with the city. He would go on to spend eight "amazing" years in New York, working as a correspondent for different French magazines.

He also photographed the city from 1991 to 1998.

"At the time, I didn’t pretend to be a professional photographer, but I guess I had the intuition of being the witness of a vanishing world," Alessandrini told HuffPost. "Here and there, one could see the remains of a golden era, of a certain idea of New York. A mythical time, where one could stumble into Basquiat, Patti Smith or Debbie Harry at the corner deli. A period where everything seemed possible, cheap, simple and wild!"

90s nyc

"The city had obviously tremendously changed since the 70’s and 80’s but you just had to walk around the corner, enter any downtown dive bar to find the signs and remains of this legendary NY. Just like if the city was waking up with a bad hangover from all the past parties and eccentricity. You could just point your camera and here you went… old Keith Haring murals, empty lots, graffiti and RIP murals, crazy people and wild parties, cinematic atmospheres in the desolate Meat Packing District, 42nd Street sleaze still alive, old signs and store fronts, 'old' New York atmosphere in general."

90s

These days, Alessandrini lives in Paris and occasionally visits New York. The city, of course, has changed dramatically since he left, particularly in downtown Manhattan where Alessandrini used to hang out.

"Last September, I was literally shocked to see how much the Lower East Side (the 'bad boys playground' at the time) had changed," he wrote in an email. "In late 2012, I remember being dropped off by a yellow cab on Bowery and looking for Bowery! This sudden transformation of downtown Manhattan had started before the twin towers went down but it seems to have accelerated at an incredible pace."

As Alessandrini points out, his photos were actually taken in the not-so-distant past. They feel, however, like they're from a completely different New York.

The 13 Worst Synonyms For 'Vagina,' Ranked

0
0
Is there such thing as a non-gross, or even kind of sexy term for a woman’s vagina? When it comes to vagina vernacular, it’s an endless struggle.

There’s a whole wide world of vaginal euphemisms out there, ranging from the mildly confusing (“box” -- why?) to the truly horrifying (“meat flaps,” anyone?).

(Before we go any further, let’s stave off the “You mean labia, not vagina!” argument right now. In this article, “vagina” refers to the whole thing. Inside and outside parts. The end.)

Over the past few years, vaginas have had their day -- in artwork, on television and in the news. But the language we use to name said vaginas is still pretty terrible. We think it's time to come up with some new words.

We’ve rounded up some of the most common euphemisms -- most of which we’ve heard women actually use to refer to their own genitals -- and ranked them from least terrible to most.

13. Lady bits. Prissy, but not that bad.

12. Flower. Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork aside, vagina-rose comparisons sound like something out of a 1950s sex ed class. Your vagina isn't a flower -- it's a body part.

11. Vajeen. With a soft “j.” Only acceptable if you’re French.

10. Bajingo. Pleasantly peppy, but also sounds like a board game. Yahtzee!

9. Va-jay-jay. In-between a nonsense word and an anatomically correct term. So close... and yet so far. (Only Bailey from "Grey's" can pull off using this term.)



8. Woo-hoo/ Ya-hoo/ Hoo-ha. While we hope every lady associates her vagina with fun, these are rodeo shouts.

7. Coochie/ cooch. Preferred euphemism of "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta." Sounds like you're talking to a baby.



6. Beaver. This is an animal. A goofy-looking animal with teeth. Not part of a woman's anatomy.

5. Muffin. As in, "Is your muffin buttered?" Come on, people. There's no need to confuse the cupcakes of breakfast with anything else.



4. Axe wound. Way too violent and "Game Of Thrones"-esque. Who wants to associate their sexual organs with a deadly injury?

3. Pussy. Overused in porn, and how anyone was ever comfortable with this word’s sibilance is a lifelong mystery.

2. Snatch. We just... why? Who came up with this? What are you snatching? Why are you snatching?

1. Cooter. #NO.

Until we can come up with something new, let's just stick to the classic:

These Movie Poster Parodies Are Spot-On (And A Kick-Ass Wedding Gift Too)

As far as wedding gift-givers go, this guy is tops.

To celebrate his friends David DiCicco and Rachael Batts' 2013 nuptials, Nashville-based photographer and designer Andres Martinez created movie poster parodies replacing the films' stars with the bride and groom. The couple even hung the posters at their reception, making this a way cooler gift than, say, a state-of-the-art blender or Egyptian cotton sheets.

The remakes of Hollywood blockbuster movie posters from films like "3:10 to Yuma," "Bad Boys II," "Twilight," "Lord of the Rings" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are impressively accurate -- down to the costumes, lighting and poses. Check out some of our favorites below.
