March 8 is the International Women's Day (IWD), widely celebrated in Eastern Europe and post-Soviet countries like Russia, where it is an official holiday. Surprisingly, the first IWD was observed in 1909 in the United States when women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.
To celebrate the International Women's Day, turn any male celebrities into women. Here's a good example by CAMEye0170. Please keep your entries Safe For Work. Many thanks to berdulano for the themepost.

March 6, 2014 is the 539th birthday of one of the greatest artists of all times, Michelangelo Buonarroti. The second of five brothers, Michelangelo became a living legend of his time after he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the age of 33. Originally he did not want to accept the job as he always considered himself a sculptor, not a painter. However after Vatican used their ties to persuade Michelangelo through his relatives, he finally agreed to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel but only on the condition that he will do all the composition as he wishes without any interference from Vatican. Three decades later Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the massive altar wall fresco - The Last Judgment - at the very same Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo dedicated his whole long life to art, God, and people. He once said to his apprentice: "However rich I may have been, I have always lived like a poor man."
Show how Michelangelo's masterpieces would change if he created them these days. E.g. show how Michelangelo would make a living nowadays by designing advertising for modern products and companies, include modern elements in his art works, etc. Many thanks to Registered for the themepost.

Cuban-American actress Eva Mendes is turning 40 on March 5. She used to act in B-movies for years and sold hot dogs at the Glendale Galleria Mall to make ends meet, until she woke up famous after her role in Training Day (2001). Her roles in 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003), Hitch (2005), Ghost Rider (2007), and Girl in Progress (2012) brought her more worldwide recognition. Mendes was also moderately successful in modelling since 2002, and runs her own home decor line, Vida. She is a smoker and had to battle with her drug addiction in the past. Eva says her role model has always been Cindy Crawford and she always want to look like her. Come to think of it there are striking similarities between Eva and Cindy, they even share the same mole on the left cheek.
We wish Eva a happiest birthday and MANY great roles ahead!
