15 Upside-Down Innovations

Sometimes we just need a different outlook on things. This collection of fun trends show why upside down is sometimes the appropriate viewpoint.

Inverted Christmas trees and tropical plants not only are a conversation starter, but they leave you with more floor space--how practical.

Architecture on its head? Believe it or not, there are tourist attractions designed around just that theme. Victor & Rolf even have a spectacular boutique that gives you the feeling you are on your head.

Then there's the photography...oh, the photography.  Just for fun, there are dogs on their backs, smiling gleefully thanks to gravity pulling down their jowls to expose their teeth and silly face tricks.

Ah, and the beach--upside-down bikinis and a guy surfing on his head. Could you ask for more?
