Naked Airport: A Cultural History of the World's Most Revolutionary StructureAlthough airports are now best known for interminable waits at check in counters, liquid restrictions for carry on luggage, and humiliating shoe removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen.

Although airports are now best known for interminable waits at check-in counters, liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage, and humiliating shoe-removal rituals at security, they were once the backdrops for jet-setters who strutted, martinis in hand, through curvilinear terminals designed by Eero Saarinen. In the critically acclaimed Naked Airport, Alastair Gordon traces the cultural history of this defining institution from its origins in the muddy fields of flying machines to its frontline position in the struggle against international terrorism.From global politics to action movies to the daily commute, Gordon shows how the airport has changed our sense of time, distance, and style, and ultimately the way cities are built and business is done. He introduces the people who shaped and were shaped by this place of sudden transition: pilots like Charles Lindbergh, architects like Le Corbusier, and political figures like Fiorello LaGuardia and Adolf Hitler. Naked Airport is a profoundly original history of a long-neglected yet central component of modern life. "This charming history documents why airports have always been such intriguing places. Gordon wittily deconstructs air terminal architecture. . . . Here is a book with more than enough quirky details to last a long layover."--People " A] splendid cultural history."--Atlantic Monthly
"Gordon, an architecture and design critic, tells his story well, bringing to life some of the main characters and highlighting some of the important issues concerning urbanism and airports."--Michael Roth, San Francisco Chronicle "Gordon provides a truly compelling account of how airports had over the course of three-quarters of a century become the locus of not only modern dreams but postmodern nightmares as well. Don't leave home without it."--Terence Riley, director of the Miami Art Museum

Individually wrapped blades for hygiene
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
Very hygienic that it comes in individual packaging! Every blade comes with a cover and a small sandpaper to keep the blades sharp! Perfect to keep reusing on their own.

Great for Peach Fuzz, But Not as Sharp as I Expected
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
I really liked that each dermaplaning blade is individually packaged, which helps keep them clean and sanitary until you’re ready to use them. As a hairstylist/barber who works with sharp tools every day, I did not feel like these blades were particularly sharp. That may actually be a positive for someone who is new to dermaplaning and wants something a little less aggressive.
I used them on dry skin, but you can also use a facial oil for more glide. They did a nice job removing peach fuzz and left my skin feeling smooth afterward. Just be sure not to use them over active acne or irritated areas.
While they worked well on facial hair, I didn’t notice much additional exfoliation from my first use. I’ll continue using them every couple of weeks and see how they perform over time. Overall, a decent option, especially for removing peach fuzz.

Insightful Guide to Healthier Communication!
Format: Paperback
Debra has done it again! This was a rich book that blended biblical truth and practical tools for real, everyday relationships. She writes with warmth and clarity and addresses hard situations without shaming or oversimplifying them. Each chapter ends with questions and exercises that helped me reflect on my own patterns as a spouse, parent, friend, and counselor-in-training. I can see this as being valuable both personally and professionally. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow in emotional awareness, communication, and ultimately love their people well!
