The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Curvaceous indeed!
I note that the almost-completed Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada has been awarded the title of Best Tall Building in the Americas for 2012. It's certainly a departure from your average skyscraper!
Due to its curves, it's been dubbed the 'Marilyn Monroe' building.
There are many more (and much larger) photographs of these unique buildings at the link. Very interesting from a design standpoint.
