Swallow's Nest (Lastochkino Gnizdo), the the Sea Castle

Swallow's Nest is a mock-medieval castle near Yalta, in Crimea, Ukraine. It was built between 1911–1912 near Gaspra, on top of 40-meter (130 ft) high Aurora Cliff, to a Neo-Gothic design by the Russian architect Leonid Sherwood. The castle overlooks Ai–Todor cape of the Black Sea, accessible from the Atlantic Ocean, and is located near the remnants of the Roman castrum of Charax. Swallow's Nest is one of the most spectacular visitor attractions in Crimea.

The building is compact in size (20 m long by 10 m wide; 65 ft by 33 ft). Its original design envisioned a foyer, guest room, stairway to the tower, and two bedrooms on two different levels within the tower. The interior of the guest room is decorated with wooden panels; the walls of the rest of the rooms are stuccoed and painted. An observation deck rings the building, providing a view of the sea, and Yalta's distant shoreline.

In 1927, Swallow's Nest survived a serious earthquake rated at 6 to 7 on the Richter scale.[7] The building was not damaged, except for some small decorative items that were thrown into the sea along with a small portion of the cliff. However, the cliff itself developed a huge crack. For a long time Swallow's Nest was closed to the public due to the damage suffered in that quake. The building remained closed for almost forty years.

Smallest Waist In The World - Cathie Jung

Cathie Jung on "This Morning" Show.
Cathie is a beautiful woman born in 1937 who lives in Old Mystic, Conneticut, U.S.A. She is the mother of three children and married to Bob, an orthopedic surgeon. Cathie Jung has a tiny waist of 15 inches and she holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest waist of any currently living person. Several times Cathie and Bob flew to Tokyo in Japan for guest appearances on Japanese TV.

Of course Cathie is wearing her corset, as she has for virtually every hour of the day and night since 1983. The only time that she is not wearing the corset is probably the hour it takes her to shower and dry herself thoroughly.
Cathie is devoted to corset training, or what she also calls waist training.

Tightlacing (also called corset training and waist training) is the practice of wearing a tightly-laced corset to achieve extreme modifications to the figure and posture and experience the sensations of a very tight corset. Those who practice tightlacing are called tightlacers. Some tightlacers call the corsets they wear training corsets.

Cathie has suffered no ill effects from wearing a corset virtually 24 hours a day since 1983. In fact, it has bolstered her spinal support. Bob Jung says: "As for the ribs, you would be surprised by how much the chest is not impacted. Only the two lower ribs, but those are the so-called floating ribs, two on each side. Everything in the midriff is flexible. The bowels and the stomach are hollow.
One concern is dry skin and keeping the corset clean. The bidet is for Cathie a real blessing in the wintertime, when you don't need to shower every day. Showering all the time dries out the skin.

Cathie never has had surgery to help attain her waist. But it is not just about the waist size. It is the illusion that matters. The difference between the hips and the waist, the chest and the waist. It is all about accentuating the natural and beautiful curves of the female figure.
