Obama's dog to be made into a fur coat for Madonna by Prada? Oh My!
US President Barack Obama's choice of a Portuguese water dog has triggered a surge of interest in the pedigree in Britain. Britain's Kennel Club said it had seen a 125 percent increase in enquiries about the hypoallergenic breed. "We frequently see the popularity of certain breeds soar once people have seen them being bought by their favourite celebrities," said club spokeswoman Caroline Kisko. "But dogs are not a fad or a new accessory that can be disposed of at will -- they are a lifetime commitment. Sadly, there are already reports of Portugese water dogs being abandoned and captured by pounds. What is there to do for these dogs? Miuccia Prada’s new fall collection may provide an answer. Boss designer Ms. Prada's fall collection includes fur tippets tied loosely at the neck. ''We feel there's a major opportunity in fur -- fur handbags, fur berets, fur-trimmed shoes and boots, and fur neck pieces,'' said Sandra Wilson, the accessories fashion director at Neiman Marcus. ''It's part of a luxury statement in all fashion categories.'' And with the unstoppable Obama brand soaring all over the world, what is more chic this season than a fur piece made of Portugese water dog fur? First in line for the new line of Prada Portugese water dog fur coats is of course Madonna who topped PETA’s “Worst Dressed Celebrities of 2009" list. "When you see Madonna in fur, you realize nobody has copied her style since 1984," they say. "We realize she's on the prowl for a young cub, but someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn't make you a cougar." Despite PETA’s very angry stance on the subject, the style will be among the most prominent for fall.

'Unreal or not,' says dolly 'I want Electroliquid Aggregation!...and a black box too'
This is the slide from the black box that most reflects the component below from my unreal design. Jacques-Yves Cousteau's lab epitomises his idea of 'protect what you love' and design-wise, it looks very similar to the artist's dwelling in her building fully occupied by conventional (or with schizophrenic, unconventional) monsters. Her concept drawings for her dwelling show a wall of jagged pillars thrusting out as if to defend herself from the other occupants of her building. And in the end her final design shows a structure that curls in on itself as if to protect its occupant from the outside world.
At the same time there is a large opening facing the sun at sunrise (from her perspective) from her notion of camera obscura. My design has glass walls to open what is protected to the outside world so that the world can share in its beauty.

Electroliquid Aggregation
1st quote: Nobel wrote that "all science is built on observations of similarities and differences."
2nd quote: "One protects what one likes.", Cousteau repeated, "and one likes what enchanted us."
Electroliquid Aggregation: One protects all sciences which enchanted us building on the observation of similarities and differences.
