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"

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.

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.

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:
