Almost 30,000 people have taken to social media

Almost 30,000 people have taken to social media this month to debate whether Ebola-themed Halloween costumes, be they home-made or store-bought, are a great idea or yet another indication of society's moral decay.

Brands on Sale is advertising the "Ebola containment suit costume, a kit that includes a protective bodysuit, goggles and breathing mask. Johnathon Weeks, the company's vice president, says they sold about two dozen on Wednesday and expect to move well over a thousand by the end of the month.

"This is an Ebola containment healthcare worker costume; it's not the Ebola disease costume; it's not an Ebola victim costume," says Mr Weeks. "It's no different in my eyes than what a firefighter costume would be, or doctors and nurses costume. Those people save lives every day, just like these people are."

Making light of tragedy is a common way people cope with their greatest fears, according to Penn State Altoona Prof Jerry Zolten, who teaches a class in stand-up comedy. It's also an easy way to get a big reaction.

"Some people delight in shocking their friends and are among the first to tell jokes about things that are putting fear in everybody's minds," Zolten says.

He says a joke like this can be a way to deal with stress.

"It's well known that people who are in high-risk jobs - ambulance workers, people who see horrible things all the time - will joke about it amongst themselves right there on the job, as needed."

He cautions, however, that this doesn't always extend to the general public.

Indeed, for many online, donning an Ebola-themed Halloween costume seems like a callous way to approach a serious situation.

Chances are that the appearance of trick-or-treater or Halloween partygoer dressed in a bio-hazard suit will cause more unease than laughter, as similarly-clad healthcare workers scramble to deal with a disease that has left thousands dead in Western Africa.

Ausstellung "Give Love Back": Dieser DJ remixt die Angewandte Kunst

 Ausstellung "Give Love Back": Dieser DJ remixt die Angewandte Kunst
Es gibt sie noch, die hübsch bemalten Porzellantellerchen, zarten Trinkgefäße und das gute alte Silberbesteck. Aus dem Alltag sind sie zwar fast verschwunden, aber in den großen deutschen Museen für Angewandte Kunst werden sie gehortet. Allein das Frankfurter Museum besitzt 65.000 Exponate, und die findet man dort offenbar alles andere als alt und altmodisch. Denn das lichte Haus am Museumsufer, gebaut vom amerikanischen Architekten Richard Meier, macht sich auf, die Frage nach dem, was Angewandte Kunst heute sein kann, neu zu stellen. Und avanciert damit zum ersten deutschen Museum für Lifestyle, für urbane Szenen und gelebte Hypes.

ANZEIGE
Logisch ist es daher, dass die Museumsleute das Spielfeld einem der größten Hype-Experten Deutschlands und Trendsetter vor Ort überlassen. Die Rede ist von DJ Ata, der einem der umtriebigsten Geister der Technowelt. Erfolgreich haben er und seine Freunde das Museum gekapert und es dank ihres großen kreativen Netzwerkes in einen Concept Store mit Music-, Fashion-, Design- und Food-Angebot verwandelt. Titel der Ausstellung: "Give Love Back".

Tanzen, Essen, Kaufen - Klubs, Cafés und Concept Stores

Als Inhaber und Gründer des inzwischen legendären Clubs Robert Johnson in Offenbach sowie verschiedener angesagter Restaurant-Cafés im Bahnhofsviertel wie dem Plank und dem Club Michel, hat Ata maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, dass Frankfurt, ehemals als Banker-City und Mainhattan verschrien, heute auf den Städte-Hype-Listen ganz oben steht. Selbst die "New York Times" nennt Frankfurt als einzige deutsche Stadt an 12. Stelle von 52 Orten, "die man 2014 bereisen sollte". Vor allen Dingen wegen des aktuellen Booms an Restaurants und Klubs.

Wenn Frankfurt heute also als cool gilt, dann ist das also auch Atas Verdienst. Als Athanassios Macias wurde er 1968 in Frankfurt als Sohn spanisch-griechischer Eltern geboren. Er war immer mehr als nur DJ und Klubbetreiber. So gründete er 1991 zusammen mit Jörg Heinze Delirium, den ersten Schallplatten- und Clubwear-Store Deutschlands, und eröffnete 1999 mit dem Bergmann den ersten deutschen Concept Store - alle Objekte, mochten sie noch so banal sein, wurden wie kleine Inkunabeln auf Podesten in Glasvitrinen präsentiert. Und Ata Macias ist ein hervorragender Grafiker. Kein Wunder, dass international bekannte Künstler wie Tobias Rehberger oder Michael Riedel zu seinen Freunden und Weggefährten gehören, ebenso wie Christoph Keller, ehemals Verleger des Revolver-Verlags und inzwischen erfolgreicher Gin-Brenner.

So hat Ata Macias immer wieder alles auf- und zusammengemischt: Design und Kunst, Fashion, Food und Musik und mit ihnen vor allem die Protagonisten, die jetzt gemeinsam die Räumlichkeiten des Museums neu gestalten und zur Partizipation einladen.

Angucken, Aneignen, Mixen und Transformieren

"Die Tätigkeiten des DJs und kreativen Unternehmers Ata Macias verbinden Design und Mode, Klubkultur und Essen; sie sind gekennzeichnet von Strategien der Aneignung, des Mixens und des Transformierens", erklären die beiden Kuratorinnen Eva Linhart und Mahret Kupka das Ausstellungskonzept. Sie sehen ihn als einen Gestalter, der "durch Re-Kombinationen Räume und Objekte entwirft und Lebenswelten gestaltet, und dadurch Projekte und Prozesse initiiert, die das Wesen angewandter Kunst ausmachen."

ANZEIGE
Der Titel der Schau "Give Love Back" ist ein Zitat vom Buchcover "Come On In My Kitchen - The Robert Johnson Book". Es symbolisiert sozusagen das "Ata-Prinzip" in Reinform: Am Prozess und der Entstehung eines Werkes sind Benutzer und Besucher maßgeblich beteiligt.

So entsteht ein bunter Basar: Zu sehen sind T-Shirts, Plakate, Schmuck, Schallplattencover oder auch Möbel aus Atas Cafés und Klubs sowie eigens entworfene neue Editionen und ein Magazin. Außerdem gibt es eine Siebdruckwerkstatt mit dem Werkstattleiter der Städelschule, Christian Zickler, der mit Ata Macias bereits T-Shirts und Plakate produzierte.

Ata Macias re-kombiniert Objekte lieber, anstatt sie zu entsorgen. Also greift er das Thema "Upcycling" in einem Lehrerworkshop auf und agiert darin ganz im Sinne des "Ata-Prinzips": "Give Love Back". Das tut er auch, wenn er in einem weiteren Teil der Ausstellung historische Trinkgläser aus der Sammlung präsentiert. Zusammen mit den Obstbränden von Christoph Keller, die dort verkostet werden, und einigen Publikationen aus dessen Tätigkeit als Verleger und Buchgestalter, werden sie zu einer "Bibliothek des Erlesenen" kombiniert. Und wenn das die neue Idee des Angewandten ist, dann könnten Kunstgewerbe-Museen bald als ziemlich cool gelten.

The 312: Lady emcee Dreezy shines at BET hip-hop award

The 312: Lady emcee Dreezy shines at BET hip-hop awards
Dreezy is a study in extremes. She’s short and tiny, but when she talks, she sounds big. She’s sweet, almost shy, in person, but when she gets on stage or in front of the camera, the swagger is palpable.

Case in point: She’s the only lady in the BET hip-hop awards digital cypher, which released last week and showcases her rapping over beats provided by the legendary DJ Scratch.

These cyphers are one of the most-discussed parts of the hip-hop awards, which air Oct. 14. And given the dearth of females charting in rap, her inclusion in that space is huge. But it’s something to be expected from the same South Side emcee whose lyricism is so swift and substantive that Common asked her to be a featured artist for the song “Hustle Harder” on his latest album, “Nobody’s Smiling.”

Learn How to Make Your Own Spider Dog Halloween Costume

cheap sexy lingerie Wholesale Halloween Costumes Sexy Halloween Costumes OnlineLearn How to Make Your Own Spider Dog Halloween Costume
If your pampered pooch is truly one of the family, making a spider dog costume is an excellent way to include him in the Halloween festivities. Spider dog costumes
also make a fun way to prank your friends, as evidenced by the popular YouTube video from SA Wardega featuring Chica the DogSpider chasing strangers in a furry
homemade spider costume. The video shows Wardega “lifeless” in an elevator with Chico the DogSpider standing over him and a large spider web that appears to have
human limbs stuck in it.
To make your own spider dog costume, you’ll need some black velvet material, a purchased spider decoration, and a dog life vest. Fake fur can also be added to the
legs of the spider for a more realistic touch, if desired. Craft stores such as Hobby Lobby and Michaels Crafts are a good place to look for spider decorations to use
for your homemade dog costume. You will want to pick one that is slightly smaller than your dog, since a decoration that is too big will make it hard for your dog to
move. Cover the dog life vest with the black velvet material. Cut off the legs of the spider decoration. Carefully sew them on to the sides of the vest.
If you have a little extra time, you can make your own spider legs for the costume using black felt and polyester fiberfill. Martha Stewart Crafts has templates for
this project. Stitch the pieces together with a knitting needle and use fabric glue for added reinforcement.
If you’re not crafty at all, you can purchase a spider dog costume for your four-legged friend at Dog.com. For a female dog, there’s also a cute green spider dog
dress costume at Poochie Heaven.
Regardless of whether you make your spider dog costume or purchase it from a store, remember to pay close attention to your pooch throughout the night. If the costume
is heavy or it’s very warm on Halloween, your pet might overheat. If your dog is panting excessively or falling behind when you’re trick-or-treating, it’s time to
remove the costume. You should also check to make sure the costume is not too tight by making sure you can get two or three fingers between your dog and any fabric or
tie that goes around him. A costume that is too tight can make it hard for your dog to breath and create a safety hazard by restricting his movement.
Do you dress your pets up for Halloween? If so, what do you think of the spider dog costume idea?

The New Ice Bucket Challenge: Don't Buy This Lame Costume

The New Ice Bucket Challenge: Don't Buy This Lame Costume
We’re at the point of no return, folks.

While it’s hard to say the “Ice Bucket Challenge” has jumped the shark, based on all the good it has done in raising awareness - and contributions – for ALS, we

have indeed hit a wall. Yes, according to the Today Show, BrandsonSale. has made sure to deliver us the most ludicrous concept that could possibly e out of the

challenge that has dominated your Facebook wall this month.

Yet, here you go. The Ice Bucket Challenge Halloween costume.

It's "totally real," creator Johnathon Weeks, owner of the site, totally told the show. "If you order it, we will ship you one bucket, one tulle tunic with silver ice

cube embellishments, and an ice cube tray.”

    "Our content editor believes this entire charity is a form of 'slacktivism' that hasn't been seen since the 'Kony' video," said Weeks, referring to a 2012 viral

video that just by clicking "like" or "retweet" people could help demand international governments intervene in Africa to stop a guerrilla group accused of using child

soldiers. "He just thinks people are going online... and putting up a video and not donating.

Maybe the content editor lives in a box and hasn’t realized that the movement has helped raise some $31.5 million for ALS. Is there a “look at me” factor? Of course

(see Mitt Romney’s entry). You going to argue with $30 million? Good of the content editor to create something for profit with the whole situation then.

The costumes run $39.99. Only $10 of that will go to the ALS Association. Please don't tell me this lame contraption takes $30 to make. Make your own ice bucket

costume if you so please for $10 and donate the $30 you pocket by not sending it to these clowns.
