Melbourne is building a skyscraper inspired by Beyoncé

Beyonce's curvaceous frame makes men (and women) drool. Now, it has even inspired architects to build this massive skyscraper.


Australian firm Elenberg Fraser has secured a planning approval to construct Melbourne's Premier Tower, which was partly inspired by the 33-year-old singer's 2014 Ghost video. The 68-story building, which will house 660 apartments and a 160-room hotel, will be erected at 134 Spencer St., just across the road from Southern Cross, one of Melbourne's major train and bus terminals. 


No word on estimated completion date, but after this one I hope the guys over at Elenberg will build a Tove Lo tower, because that really needs to happen.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out  Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.
