Engy al-Shazly has made history in Egypt, becoming the first ballerina to perform wearing a hijab.

Al-Shazly has been criticized by those who think that she's insulting her religion; but that hasn't stopped her. She's only been dancing for three years, but her goal is to perform in famous opera halls around the world. Eventually, al-Shazly hopes to open her own ballet school.

$Mona Lisa Selfie: World Attractions Pop Off On Instagram Ever taken a selfie with Mona? Youre not alone. This short film shows just a fraction of the photos taken with the Mona Lisa each year. It took three months for the filmmaker to compile peoples Instagram posts into a cohesive short film. Mona Lisa sees 6 million visitors each year. But Mona isnt the only attraction tourists are gramming. The Eiffel Tower is the worlds most Instagrammed attraction, showing up in over 4 million posts. Others include Big Ben at 2.4 million, the Empire State Building at 1.5 million, and the Notre Dame Cathedral at 1.3 million. No wonder Mona Lisa looks so bemused — shes wondering why shes not on the most Instagrammed list!
