The far-out sci-fi costume parties of the Bauhaus school in the 1920s. Bauhaus school costume party, 1920s As we get ready to tell yet another year to kiss our collective asses on its way out the door, that also means it’s almost time for that annual liver-killing bacchanal known as New Year’s Eve.

Hilariously Ferocious Underwater Dogs. Photographer Seth Casteel (website seems to be going up and down, so here’s Facebook as well) captured these wonderful photographs of dogs underwater, doing what dogs do best: playing, fetching, and swimming.
