Years have passed since Zarkon's invasion of Arus.
A team of Space Explorers approaches the planet. Young but determined, these explorers have been sent by the Galaxy Alliance on a special mission: to search for the secret of Voltron. The team of explorers consists of five brave young (brick)men:
Keith,
Pidge,
Hunk,
Lance, and
Sven. Together, with
71 hours of building, they form
Lego Voltron. From
work in progress to
cockpit details and
shoulder pin mechanisms, the photographed details are there to enjoy.
The builder includes credits to the
Teknomeka plans for the frame of the structure (
history of the plans,
models, and
another model) (

Nona Hendryx (wiki) founding member of
Labelle went on to a solo career that included working with The Talking Heads, Material, and Laurie Anderson. Her album
Nona (produced by Laswell) featured the club hit
Transformation which still sounds 20 years ahead of its time even though it was recorded in 1983.
Here she is rocking the house live at the Apollo with
Why Should I Cry and making your spirit soar with
Winds of Change

The Before and After Museum Based upon the number of makeover and home redecorating shows on television these days, it's pretty safe to assume that we humans have a serious fascination for the art of the transformation. Case in point? Consider the marketing wallop Subway's weight loss poster boy,
Jared, packed--he's still making those commercials.
Sharpeworld's compiled a list of before and after links from the bizarre
Jocelyne "Cat Woman" Wildenstein to not-so-famous-but-still-amusing
shaved dog on couch. What do you find most compelling about the before and after: the starting point, the final results or the process of transforming?

"Just do it. I don't care how." 'In a significant transformation...U.S. Special Operations Command...and its satellite units around the world, can now plan and execute their own hunt-and-destroy missions.'
An "Open Order" is a very, very dangerous thing. A real life License to Kill, issued to thousands of men.

Well what did you expect? After years of forcing taxpayers to pay for
stuff they hate, the National Endowment for the Arts "has been transformed from a lightning rod and punching bag into a benign institution, averse to controversy and with a significantly different mission than it had a decade ago."
