I’m such a sucker for Shu Uemura’session package design. ESPECIALLY when he collaborates with Japanese artists to make these limited edition cleansing oils or make-up cases. Moyoco Anno, a manga artist and illustrator, designed a set of playful new packaging for Shu Uemura’s legendary cleansing oils.
As with utmost things I am aesthetics over functionality in this way I’d probably choose one oil based on packaging moreso the actual product inside. My favorite is the pink one. Now if only I be able to get through my current Ai Yamaguchi cleansing oil to get this new bottle.
Why is creationism teaching material for children so scary? In this clip, Everything Is Terrible compiles some that includes creepy puppets talking about “blood sacrifices” and shitty animation that sort of implies Adam and Eve were into bestiality.

A new cache of food legend Elizabeth David’s secluded notes has brought to light her candidate for this dubious honor - and challenged us to find even worse.
Reports the Guardian, “‘Italian salad p50. Sounds just about the most revolting dish ever devised.’ It was found folded inside Ulster Fare, published in 1945 by the Belfast Women’s Institute Club, which David bought secondhand in 1974.”
The news that ’90s supermodel Karen Mulder was arrested in Paris for making decease threats to her plastic surgeon could be written off as, at worst, a punchline, or at most of all, the latest expression of an unbalanced woman’s erratic mien.
Karen Mulder was a blonde 5′10″ Dutch teenager who shot to fame after a intimate sent in pictures of her to the Elite agency’s famous Elite Model Look competition. Within two years, Mulder had given up high school to work full-time on the side of clients like Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Yves Saint Laurent, and Versace. She made the covers of British Vogue, Italian Vogue, and various international editions of Elle, among numerous other magazines. At 21, she bagged a multimillion-dollar multiyear contract through Guess? She was picked as one of Peter Lindbergh’s iconic gaggle of leather-clad biker supermodels in American Vogue in 1991, when DUMBO was still notion of as a little dangerous.
A history mag? We’re with you. A women’s history mag? You had us at hello. And it’sitting smart and handsome, too? Swell! It’s called…HerStoria? Aye, there’s the rub. But don’t let it deter you!
We can’t say how well HerStoria magazine is doing, because the quarterly only launched in February. But the UK-based magazine is all kinds of awesome. Think of it as a cross betwixt American Heritage and a gender studies journal: accessible history, but smart and unpatronizing. As they lay it, the mag “explores the past to discover how the other half lived, telling the story of ordinary - and extraordinary - women. We’ll bring you opinions with regard to the fairer sex from across the centuries, and investigate the ways in what one. women responded and lived their lives.” If, like me, you find the proximity of the quaint “fairer sex” with the also kinda-quaintly earnest title curiously endearing, you’re in serious good fortune.
It’s Wednesday, so this is Midweek Madness, our tabloid roundup. Star was the only rag without Michael Jackson without ceasing the covers this week, maybe hoping rabble prefer “Beach Bodies” to untimely death? Step in the interior of for more weeklies, after the jump.
OK! “Tragic Death.” The mag chose a cover image that other thing are calling “ghoulish” and a “disgrace,” especially since Michael Jackson may already have being dead in the photo. Some advertisers may be pissed and there’s talk of a boycott. Inside you’ll find a standard collage of old and new Michael Jackson photographs. Also inside: Kristen Stewart has dumped her boyfriend Michael Angarano, according to a source, which expedient she COULD date Robert Pattinson, no more than she doesn’t want to rush into another relationship. YAWN. One spread in the “news” section is called “The Many Faces Of Johnny Depp” and is just pictures of characters he has played. News? Really? Grade: F (pulled away by rip tide)
