Started listening to Duran Duran again and got really weirded out at some of their lyrics.


As kids, we were all too busy appreciating how good Simon Le Bon looked in his jacket or trying to imitate his dance moves to ever give a f*ck about his lyrics.

New Moon on Monday (1983)

"Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it, maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait 'til you decide"

The Chauffeur (1982)

"The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky
Towards that hollow western Isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze"


The Reflex (1984)

"The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark"

Come Undone (1993)

"Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
"Happy birthday to you" was created for you"

Irene Saputra's Colorful Stitched Pieces

Embroidery is nowhere near forgotten, and in fact, it's experiencing something of a resurgence as artists around the globe are putting their own unique spins on the craft. Indonesia's Irene Saputra is one of them, and more than 45,000 people on Instagram already follow her.  Handmade from colorful threads stitched onto fabric, Irene's embroideries begin as original illustrations. What I really like about her stitched pieces is that some of them are meant to be worn. Look at an array of her handiwork!

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.
