The MAKING OF AFROZA KHAN

Today we had the pleasure of working with Afroza Khan who recently graduated from Nova University and is looking to pursue a career in fashion merchandising. During her recent visit to Vintage Diversity; Afroza was able to express to store owner Melanie Garbo her desire to create a look from different eras and capture them in film. As a result Ms. Garbo contacted me and the rest is now history. We wish Afroza the best of luck in all of her future endeavours. be sure to check Afoza' at currentlylovingit.blogspot.com and our friends at www.Vintage Diversity.com  and thanks for providing all the looks showcased on this shoot.

Japan's Trash Problem and Idiots in Government

Here's more proof that the fools we have running the government are just totally clueless and waste our tax money on ridiculous nonsense all the time. Japan has a huge trash problem. I wrote about that here. But this most recent idiocy takes the cake.


From Japan Probe:
A news report embeds itself with a police task force in Shizuoka prefecture that goes after people who illegally dump trash.
When they find an illegal dumping site, they send a stakeout team to watch the spot so that anyone who tries to dump again in the same place will be caught in the act. Because the dumping takes place in wooded mountainous areas, the cops wear camouflage and sneak around like commandos.
Sometimes, the illegal dumpers are a clever bunch. When dumping appliances and other junk in the woods, they cover it with dirt so it looks like it is just a harmless soil-dumping area. Other times, they aren’t so clever, such as the employees of a failed recycle shop who are arrested for starting a big bonfire and burning old appliances.
The police stakeout shown in the video drags on for 88 days until they finally arrest one man who is dumping a small load of trash. The man admits his guilt and is generally cooperative. Although he can face up to 5 years in jail and a 10,000,000 yen fine, the Japanese legal system will probably give him a suspended prison sentence if this is his first arrest. One man has been stopped, but there are many other illegal dumpers who have not been caught, including some who used the same spot. Even if this man is given a hefty fine, it might not equal the cost of paying a team of police officers to hold an 88-day stakeout.
The video is in Japanese but you can understand the madness..

If this doesn't prove that the government's answer to all our problem's is to spend and spend more money and to expand itself, no matter what, then I don't know what does.
