How to make people watch Shakespeare: Just put Emma Watson in everything

From the 2020 Pirelli Calendar by Paolo Roversi

Renowned fashion photographer Paolo Roversi took inspiration from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for the 47th edition of the Pirelli Calendar. Historically, The Cal featured provocative images of women, but recently the brand has moved away from scantily-clad models to more artistic themes. Roversi chose Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Yara Shahidi, and Stella Roversi to interpret the role of Juliet for the calendar.

Speaking of his work, the Italian lensman said: "The idea of Juliet came to me because I have been exploring the themes of beauty and love for several years. I have also investigated femininity and tenderness. Juliet is all of this. When I think of a feminine ideal, I think Juliet is one of the few characters who successfully embodies it in herself." Thank God there's not a single Romeo to be found. Anyway, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the 2020 Pirelli Calendar:

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.

Details from lucid dreams

If Audrey Stomme s' paintings came alive and transformed into celebrities, they would be Alicia Vikander or Cara Delevingne — confident, perky, and unabashedly luxe. The Minnesota-based artist has a knack for blending ink and acrylic paint in striking combinations to create abstract human forms with an exciting curiosity surging through them. Her pieces brim with courage and exhibit the inherent freedom of her subconscious. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but it still fascinates me.

This jellyfish can age backwards and regenerate body parts

Moon jellies have amazing superpowers. They have the ability to regenerate lost body parts - just like Deadpool, create clones of themselves - just like Multiple Man and, recent research has revealed, they can age backwards - just like Benjamin Button. The discovery was made by Jinru He, a graduate student in marine biology at China's Xiamen University. According to National Geographic , Jinru collected a baby male moon jellyfish from the ocean and raised it to a full grown adult. When it died, he transferred the corpse into a new tank, and noticed a sea anemone-like polyp on the specimen three months later. Scientists believe that the discovery could give us better insight into cancer cures. If you're interested in jellyfish, check out these stunning images taken by Russian marine biologist Alexander Semenov.
