“Cities force us to interact with strangers and with the strange. They pry the mind open. And that is why they are the idea that has unleashed so many of our new ideas.”

Circus

Circus by Kenzo Soza on Flickr.
The Sutherland Sisters, the most famous girls with long hair. They were real “stars” and amassed a huge fortune by showing their hair, and cashing in on advertising that was a novelty in the 19th century. They even surpassed the earnings of the Barnum and Bailey circus in which they first became sideshow attractions. They sang, played the piano and offered tips on hair care and beauty to millions, and invented and began selling hair tonic.
