Normal Films St Vincent | Yen On the weirdo late-night scene of downtown New York, Annie Clark kneels, leans over a table and takes in a big, fat line. Only it’s not cocaine. It’s the crumbled down remains of a piece of the Berlin Wall. History, pain, and reconciliation – it all makes a beeline for her brain. With her moonlight antics laid bare, 31-year-old Clark continues to be one of the most captivating musicians around.

Johnny Express Animated Short Cartoon This short animation from Kyungmin Woo at South Korea's Alfred Imageworks starts off looking cute as hell. In it, an oblivious employee of the Johnny Express galactic delivery service begrudgingly wakes up after landing on an apparently desolate planetoid. He looks around for a package's recipient, totally unaware that below his feet is a sprawling civilization of tiny purple creatures. And, that's when the massacre of the local population begins. You could read it as commentary on globalization, on the carbon cost that shipping services take on the planet, or on the butterfly effect of both military and cultural imperialism, when a foreign power's seemingly minor steps forever change the native landscape. Or, just squee or whatever.

As the title implies, it was shot over 52 consecutive Tuesdays. The unpredictable nature of the project led to some difficulties on set. How did she prep for the onscreen sexploration?
Here's the Free People Ad That Ballet Dancers Are Freaking Out Over “I’d seen the future of masculinity and it was moisturized,”quipped Mark Simpson, the writer who coined the term ‘metrosexual’ to describe image-conscious male consumers and the sexy targeted advertising that stoked their vain and “unmanly passions.” His prescient essay “Here Come the Mirror Men: Why the Future is Metrosexual” appeared in The Independent in 1994, propelling his career as the herald of late capitalist masculinity. Twenty years later, Simpson’s work remains convincing, but it does not account for an opposing trend, one sown by gay men’s attraction to a seemingly antagonistic subculture. Continue Reading > Today, the metrosexual is dead. Although metrosexuality reached its zenith among straight men, advertisers perfected their strategy in the gay community. If the metrosexual signified the placation of male power, then the skinhead look resuscitates machismo in the fashion realm. Given the skinhead’s real and imagined proclivity for violence, boots, Dr. Art by Vince Patti

10 of the most memorably choreographed music videos Last week saw the video release for Sia's barnstorming new single, Chandelier, featuring haunting choreography masterminded by Sia and Ryan Heffington, and performed by 11-year-old Maddie Ziegler from the reality show, Dance Moms.

Thriller – Michael Jackson Performed at a certain point of drunkenness at every Halloween party ever; Beat It is pretty good, but Thriller, er, beats it. 1234 – Feist Feist is well known for a bit of a move and a shake in her videos – see her dancing on escalators in the promo for My Moon, My Man – but this colourful promo for 1234 is something else. Lotus Flower – Radiohead Who could forget Thom Yorke's jittering, skittering moves in monochrome and bowler hat for the video of Lotus Flower?

Ever Wonder What The Clerk Is Thinking About YOU When You're Shopping At The Makeup Counter? Eva DeVirgilis: I'm sorry you have to touch my face. Look at this breakout. I look disgusting. I'm sorry, but I am not a pretty woman. Ah, no. The doctor says that I have to lose weight. I looked in the mirror and all I see is a tired mom and I see these wrinkles and I feel old and ugly. And this what I hear every single solitary day of my life. Now I have discovered there is a very small group of women who don't apologize. So a woman will make an appointment with me for a variety of different reasons. Which is why I like to think of myself as treading in the deep end of a shallow profession, because I use makeup as my tool to help her believe it. Oh, no, what are you taking about? And I can't believe what I hear, because all I see is a beautiful woman. You're right. Now you would think, because this is my job and I do this everyday. Oh god, I'm sorry I have a very tough face. I have said those exact words in somebody else's makeup chair. All right, it's my birthday!
Un hombre se viste de rico y de pobre para ver quién lo ayudaba, y esto fue lo que pasó Este experimento se realizó en una calle de la ciudad de Praga, República Checa y lo que se pretendía analizar era si la diferencia de clases sociales era un factor para recibir ayuda en caso de emergencia. Un actor se vistió con una ropa humilde y se tiró al suelo fingiendo sentirse mal. Como se puede ver en el vídeo, ninguna persona lo ayudó o se interesó por él, ni siquiera un agente de policía. En otro momento el mismo actor realizó la misma acción pero en esta ocasión iba vestido con un traje. Esto fue lo que ocurrió… # Bonus: Esto es lo que te pasaría si te desmayaras en las calles de París y no vistieras un traje.
