Pinterest: Not just for dessert and craft projects! Pt 1

I love Pinterest. Like...LOVE. It's a bit addictive. Ok... MASSIVELY addictive. But one of the things I like the most is finding people with awesome history boards.

Is my inner nerd showing?

Bandi't Roost in 1888, the most dangerous place in NYC at the time
The Hatfields (of Hatfileds and McCoy infamy) in 1897

Moscow air raid, 26 June 1941

Olympic Nail Art

The Olympic athletes are sporting some awesome nail art for their home countries. I'm totally jealous as I'm far too lazy to attempt some of these intricate designs. Although I could probably get the red, white or blue thing going.

The Guardian Newspaper has a Pinterest board dedicated to Olympic athletes patriotic nail art, plus some additional patriotic/Olympic nail art. (Link:  Olympic Nail Art)

Inspirationail has a Pinterest board dedicated to the 2012 Olympic Games-Nails as well (Link: Olympic Nails)

The post is ridiculously picture heavy. And mostly American athletes because that's where I'm from but there are other countries in the links, promise! I kinda went overboard with the pics and the links to even MORE pictures. Sorry!
