London phone booth transformed into salad shop

Dr. Who's telephone booth (TARDIS) may function as a futuristic time machine, but these days call boxes are pretty much obsolete. Instead of letting one of them slowly decay, a London entrepreneur refurbished it into a pop-up salad bar. Called Spier's Salads, the shop launched earlier this month and is located in Bloomsbury Square, a park in central London.

From the outside, Ben Spier's tiny eatery looks like your typical phone booth. Inside, however, it's equipped with a fully-functioning fridge and offers a selection of fresh salads, costing between $5 to $8.50. Ben says his dishes are all organic and packed with protein, vitamins and minerals.

Spier's Salads is open every Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30am to 2:30pm. This week, Ben's doing a roasted chicken salad with sumac, pomegranate molasses, chilli and sesame seeds. There's also a cauliflower couscous, messicani pasta, rhubarb, radish and green beans in an almond pesto and a whole lot more.

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:

This is from the 1995 CMA Awards. I'm not a huge fan of country music and I wasn't a huge fan of that show…but I couldn't resist Shania Twain singing Any Man of Mine.
