Ray Barker’s home is a converted broom closet which measures 11’ X 5.5’. It was originally bought by a secretary for £37,000 in 1987. However, location is everything, and since it is located opposite Harrods in Knightsbridge, the miniature home has been valued at £200,000. Four years ago, Mr. Barker bought the small apartment for £120,000. He says that he can do the cleaning while lying in his sofa bed. In fact, he says that he can wash up, answer the door, make a cup of coffee, and use the restroom all at the same time. The space’s two rooms measures 60.5 ft.2 and has a toilet, a shower which doubles up as a wardrobe, and six-inch deep cupboards. The space is just fine for sleeping, has a space to hang his jacket and keep his shampoo.
 Dominique Gisin of Switzerland crashed heavily in the women's downhill at Vancouver Olympic Games. These are the photos of her fall and of some other dangerous moments.  Sulawesi is one of the four larger Sunda Islands of Indonesia and is situated between Borneo and the Maluku Islands. Huge deposits of gold have been found 250km of the capital in the Bombali District in 2008 and since then, it’s the gold rush and hundreds of people go there hoping to get rich! Children quit school and work instead for 10-20 dollars a day, which I think is not too bad over there.. Here are some sad black and white photos showing a bit how things happen over there…  The postal service depicted in these photos may very well be the smallest ever. With everything in miniature, I wonder if they collect for their services with miniature money?  Few facts about gold: a total of 161,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, as of 2009 (with half of that extracted in just the past 50 year). India is the world’s largest consumer and importer of gold as Indians buy about 25% of the world’s gold, purchasing approximately 800 tonnes of gold every year and importing around 400 tonnes of gold. The most famous precious metal has never been so expensive than today but it won’t prevent people to buy it.. Now let’s see diverse pictures about gold, from mining to buying, enjoying, discovering and selling gold…  Now he is the brightest representative of the “hip-hop” culture of the Dominican Republic. He's a real gangsta and very dangerous   Some men look better as a woman or at least they think so. But despite all odds, transvestites are quite in demand, they are constantly invited to various night clubs, casinos and all sorts of shows. Inside the post you will see ten most ‘feminine’ transvestites and some facts from their biographies.  What is shorter than mini shorts? Well, the answer is after the jump! :)  Honestly, at first I thought that they already started to produce miniature PSPs and that it would be impossible to play on such a little game console, but it is not like it looks like. View the rest of the post.  Today we will talk about miniskirts, or rather will look at how they have evolved over time, from the moment of their appearance until today. Actually it is very interesting to see because fashion has a tendency to return ;)  It took Stan Munro (38) 6 years to build this toothpick city. He used 6 million toothpicks and 170 litres of glue. He can spend until 6 months to create a building and each of his creations is built to 1:164 scale. He works at the Museum of Science and Technology in Syracuse, New York (USA). Look after the jump the amazing works of one of the most patient men in the world.  Brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun were fond of model railroads since their childhood and turned their hobby into a lucrative children's museum Miniatur Wunderland, which is annually visited by a huge number of tourists. Before the upcoming elections on Sept. 27, German political parties imagined the way the elections are going to happen and represented it in miniature in the toy town of brothers Braun.  Another good series of photo manipulation. This time, the idea was to make people, things or places look gigantic or miniature in comparison to the other elements in a photo, the whole process with exaggeration of course. Some are really original and well found! Just take a look…  El Caminito del Rey which means the King's little pathway is a walkway now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey. The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet and 3 inches) in width, and is over 300 meters (984 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. So, how do you like to go there!  What do you think it is? Maybe it is just some kind of jewelry? In fact, this is a real mini portable stove. And it is not just a decoration, which can be worn around your neck. After the break, look how it works.  The idea is simple, but the photos (if you have some imagination) are cool. The concept consists of a photo of a couple in any situation you want but with the groom looking like a giant next to the bride or the bride looking like a fairy next to the groom, your choice  Though, the bride here looks like a man’s toy, which can be seen as offensive for women… So, what d’ya think? Cool or creepy?  A small village in the region Ilaka in Madagascar is the home for a sapphire site and it is the source of half the production of sapphires in the world. Illegal miners work here in conjunction with large-scale productions. All sapphire businesses here operate almost without any control, in an atmosphere of "Wild West" with its lawlessness and crime. According to official studies, 19 thousands of children out of 21 who live there are working in sapphire mines.  Friday was the Sysadmin Day or System Administrator Appreciation Day (SAAD) – I know I’m late but, happy SAAD to all the system administrators ) A short note for those who don’t know it: “the Sysadmin Day was created by system administrator Ted Kekatos. He was inspired to create the special day by a Hewlett-Packard magazine advertisement in which a system administrator is presented with flowers and fruit-baskets by grateful co-workers as thanks for installing new printers. The holiday exists to show appreciation for the work of sysadmins and other IT workers. It is celebrated on the last Friday in July. The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000. The next holiday is Friday, July 30, 2010.” So, to celebrate this day, a compilation of funny pics related to this topic is awaiting you inside the post.  Very rare and unusual mini clocks. See a great compilation inside the post.  This model of miniature Ferrari F40 is 8 times smaller than the real super car. And the interesting thing is that this exact hand-built replica is ignited with the smallest key in the world. Look at the complex process of assembling and the final result inside the post. Really cool!   Today is the Hello Kitty Day on the site ;) We decided to make a post with these pictures. The minibus is very nice and interesting to see. In case if you missed the post on Hello Kitti, don’t forget to take a look. There is a big selection of photos.  Nikolai Aldunin is called the master of miniatures. He put horseshoes on a flea as well as saddle and stirrups, he also put 7 camels in the eye of a needle and a replica of a Russian samovar that is smaller than a grain of sugar, he made a tank on a sliced apple seed - it is almost impossible to believe. Nevertheless, it is real and everything is crafted out of gold. Like many other artists who make miniature sculptures, Nikolai crafts between the beats of the heart that allows him to reduce the shaking of hands. This is very interesting to see.  Stop for a while and discover the World of IZI!
