This new documentary about The Go-Go's proves they "still got the beat."

I remember watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High when I was 12, and there were two things from that movie that I will never forget: Phobe Cates' jaw-dropping scene and The Go-Go's signature song We Got the Beat, which was used in the opening sequence.

Beauty and the Beat, the group's first studio album, was one of the most successful debut albums of all time. It stayed on top of the Billboard charts for six straight weeks, earned them a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, and made music history as the first album by an all-female band to hit No. 1.

Their story is being told in a new documentary feature simply called The Go-Go's, directed by Alison Ellwood and premiering on Showtime next month. Ahead of the film's release, the band will drop their first new recording in 19 years, Club Zero, out July 31st.

Check out the trailer below.

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.

This glass dildo is powered by clockwork and delivers sleek and uncomplicated pleasure that takes you to climax in style.
