Networking. I don’t know about you, but personally, every time I hear that word, I have to stop myself from cringing too hard. Or from overthinking every single social interaction I’ve ever had in a remotely professional context. Does anyone actually enjoy networking? It’s like the spinach of career advice – good ...
With so much of tattooing culture often being considered too "taboo" to talk about even now in the 21st Century, stepping into your first appointment can lead to a lot of anxiety. Questions can pop up about just about everything having to do with the subject. Overall, tattoos can feel intimidating. For those who are ponde...
Without sound, the movie magic we all know and love would hardly be magical at all. The classics that we call our favorites probably wouldn’t pack nearly as much of a punch without all of the sound that accompanies them.

bro and sis singers Marc and Sharon
Costanzo took an old disco hit (Andrea
True’s “More, More, More”) and made it their own, shooting
the accompanying music video in Daytona Beach, Florida, which is
known worldwide for it’s party atmosphere.
Fun and
not-at-all-offensive fact: The band is named after a Japanese
exchange student named Ieru Ren, who played bass for the Costanzo
siblings’ high school garage band, whom they nicknamed “Len” to
play up the stereotypical mispronunciation of ‘R’s in Japanese.
Cute! … right?
Anywhoozle,
check out “Steal My Sunshine” below, and just smile:
Also of note,
Len did a cover of Kim Wilde's 1981 hit "Kids In
America" for the 2000 Digimon movie!
