Copenhannah: How To: Look Like A Dane:

So you want to look like a Dane? I don’t blame you. Danes are hot, so I’m going to tell you how to look just like them. I’ve taken The Meaning of Style for the last four months taught by a stylish Dane who I quote “feels uncomfortable” if he wears the same pair of shoes more than once in a month….

Amazing story— a war hero at just 14 years...

Amazing story— a war hero at just 14 years old!

fuckyeahhistorycrushes:

From Cracked.com:

In 1942, when he was just 12 years old, Arkady Kamanin begged his dad, a commander and decorated war hero in the USSR Air Force, to let him enlist, so Arkady’s father let him join up as a mechanic.

After mastering the ins and outs of Soviet planes, Arkady got promoted to flight mechanic and navigating officer. That’s the guy who’s just supposed to sit in the back seat of the plane and fix anything that goes haywire, but while on a mission in 1944, Arkady’s pilot was hit by a bullet. Arkady mustered up courage and, with some guidance from the crew on the ground, he landed the plane perfectly. This understandably impressed Arkady’s dad, who then allowed his son to go into flight training. Two months later, Arkady became the youngest fighter pilot in World War II.

Once, while returning from a patrol flight, Arkady spotted the smoking wreck of a Soviet U-2 plane, landed his own craft while enduring heavy German fire and rescued the pilot, along with the sensitive information he was carrying. He was awarded the Order of the Red Star, the Soviet version of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

By war’s end, Arkady had racked up an impressive list of commendations. He received “two combat Orders of the Red Star, the Order of the Red Banner, the Medal for the Victory Over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945, the Medal for the Capture of Budapest and the Medal for the Capture of Vienna.” All by age 14.

She went by the stage name of Asmahan. She was a really popular singer/actress in Egypt and is thought to have been a spy during world war two. Mostly badass. Totally stunning.

“My advice would be you’ve gotta make things. You’ve gotta build things. You can’t say, I’ve got a clip from my college newspaper. There’s gotta be a travelogue that you did with your pals from Bonnaroo. There’s gotta be an audio file that you made. I used to hire people all the time when I worked at weeklies, young people, and if they were coming now I would just say, well, show me what you’ve made with your own two dirty little hands. I don’t really care what you say, I want to see what you’ve done. It’s a time when you can make stuff so much more easily. Now, getting that stuff to rise above the clutter, and getting it seen is a battle, getting paid for it on top of it, yeah, that’s another battle.”
