More Than a Muse


As I'm sure you know by now, Diane Keaton died a few days ago. I could go on about the usual stuff—what a fantastic actress she was, how charming she was on screen, and all those iconic movies she was in. Her work in films like Annie Hall and Something's Gotta Give cemented her place as a powerhouse in both comedy and drama, and Woody Allen has plenty to say about her.

In a long, personal essay, the 89-year-old filmmaker, actor, and writer pays tribute to Keaton, describing her as "unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again," and adding that "her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered".

In his piece, Allen shares some sweet, personal stories about his time with Keaton outside of movies. He talks about one Thanksgiving, for example, where he ended up playing poker with her family. When talking about their romantic relationship, he kept it pretty vague, just saying, "We had a few great personal years together and finally we both moved on." He joked that only "God and Freud" could possibly explain why they broke up.

Thank you, Diane for showing us that being imperfect is the most captivating thing of all. Rest in peace to a true original.

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.

French supermarket promotes 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce food waste

When was the last time you bought a weird-shaped fruit or veggie? A disfigured eggplant, a gnarled carrot, a hideous orange, or a deformed apple? You probably have a hard time remembering because growers usually throw out any misshapen produce, since grocery stores only want flawless (or almost flawless) crops. If there are lumps, bruises, or other deformities, retailers are likely to reject them. To raise awareness against food waste, Marcel Paris introduced a brilliant ad campaign called the Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables . The agency created these posters for Intermarche, France's third largest supermarket chain, to inform people that though these foods might by ugly, they are as good as any others.
