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.

French supermarket promotes 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce food waste

When was the last time you bought a weird-shaped fruit or veggie? A disfigured eggplant, a gnarled carrot, a hideous orange, or a deformed apple? You probably have a hard time remembering because growers usually throw out any misshapen produce, since grocery stores only want flawless (or almost flawless) crops. If there are lumps, bruises, or other deformities, retailers are likely to reject them. To raise awareness against food waste, Marcel Paris introduced a brilliant ad campaign called the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables . The agency created these posters for Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket chain, to inform people that though these foods might by ugly, they are as good as any others.
