Lady Liberty

Happy Fourth of July! We hope you all got the day off to BBQ with friends and family, attend the neighborhood block party, and light off some fireworks late into the night. While you’re paying tribute enjoying America’s traditional pastimes, tattoos are a great way to show your love for America with some more red, white, and blue to complement that patriotic ensemble.

No we don’t mean to run around wearing the American flag (there is still a United States Flag Code), because lucky for you, Tinsley Transfers has this Lady Liberty temporary tattoo.  This tattoos along with many others saluting our troops is temporary, but it’ll last you through the weekend of endless beach and poolside fun. We all know that although these will wash away, American pride is endless. Who’s ready for the upcoming 2012 London Olympics!

What are you wearing this Fourth of July?

Reinventing the Wheel

Google’s newly created driverless car is a hot topic today. Although not all the kinks have been worked out and some states are unsure of how to adopt their laws, we cannot wait to see the possibilities Google can bring.

This computer-controlled Prius with a spinning laser atop is the next big thing. It could save us from maneuvering difficulties that lead to accidents and traffic. It would stop impaired driving due to texting and/or intoxication. The best part about the car is that it would allow those disabled and without the ability to drive to have a guaranteed safe mode of transportation. We better keep our eyes out for this car, or do we have to?

What do you think will happen next?

Running Around the May Pole

May Day lands on the first day of May!  May Day probably is best known for the colorful dance around the May pole.  The “holiday” is related to the Celtic festival of Beltane and the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night.  Traditionally, May Day is an occasion for rowdy celebrations.

In some parts of the U.S., May Baskets are made. These are small baskets usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someone’s doorstep. The giver rings the bell and runs away. The person receiving the basket tries to catch the fleeing giver. Be prepared to pucker up, because if they catch the person, a kiss is exchanged.

How do you celebrate May Day?

TV and Music Legend Dick Clark Passes at 82

Dick Clark passed away this morning at age 82 in Santa Monica due to a “massive heart attack.”  He has been a public figure to multiple generations and will be greatly missed.

Dick Clark: (L) American Bandstand (R) New Year's Rockin' Eve

The American Bandstand host helped mainstream America accept rock ‘n’ roll, which launched Clark’s career as producer and host of many other hit shows.

His good looks, even through his 70′s, earned him the nickname the “eternal teenager.”  Following a stroke in 2004, he was forced to abbreviate his hosting duties on “New Years’ Rockin’ Eve,” a show he created in 1972.  Ryan Seacrest has since stepped in to help co-host, and although he’s done a great job filling in, New Years Eve 2013 won’t be the same without Clark!

From the pioneering series American Bandstand to his annual “Dick Clark’s New Years’ Rockin’ Eve,” this New Yorker has become a legend in the entertainment industry.

His signature sign-off was always “For now, Dick Clark… so long,” followed by a salute.  P3R is definitely saluting him back today- May he rest in peace.

One Day Without Shoes

Are you wondering why people are walking around town barefoot today? To raise awareness about the importance of shoes in our lives, TOMS started the campaign ‘One Day Without Shoes.’  The socially conscious company lives by the statement, “With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for one.”

Their mind-set behind this movement is that curiosity turns into conversation, which turns into action, then change.

Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk.  Shoes can help protect against injury, and in combination with basic hygiene and sanitation, help prevent disease and soil-transmitted infections.  Check out the video below to see the ‘One Day Without Shoes’ movement in action!
