SKYNFEEL Apparel Made From The Same Material of Skyn Non-Latex Condoms

Skyn has teamed up with Pauline van Dongen to create unique apparel using the same material that Skyn uses to create its revolutionary non-latex condoms. This material feels soft and comfortable, it’s safe and suitable for people with latex allergy. What if the same material is used to create athletic apparel? This experiment results in one-of-a-kind long jump suit for elite athletes, SKYNFEEL Apparel.

Inspired by biomimicry, this apparel sets out to reduce body limitation and give extra airtime for long jump athletes. The suit design features dragonfly wing-inspired flaps on the edge of the body, it uses a thin layer of SKYNFEEL infused with geometric laser cut grid. Since the apparel is designed for long jumper, the flaps would stay flat during the run, it only opens up with the jump, just like when athlete twists their arms and straightens their legs. This aerodynamic design adds an upward lift to help a long jump athlete to stay in the air just a bit longer. This ultra-light garment offers many possibilities to create sportswear that would enhance athlete’s performance.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
