Back in May, "Nathan A." posted an informative Yelp review of Tamarind of London, an Indian restaurant located in Newport Beach, California. "This meal was delectable, exotic, and incinerated everything in my intestines," he wrote. "My morning was an unforgettable thrill ride."
A new video series features various professional actors dramatically reading insightful Yelp reviews like Nathan's.
Seriously? As if that's even a real location. Alright, fine then. As long as we're accepting the presence of pretend countries, I'm relocating to the People's Democratic Republic of Snuggaroon.
This may look like a standard bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, but think again.
The Indiana State Fair has a new entry in the informal weird food competition that occurs every summer across the country: spaghetti and meatballs ice cream. The meatless concoction — made with gelato noodles, strawberry tomato sauce, shredded white chocolate cheese and chocolate meatballs — took best in show to become the state fair's signature food...
I'd definitely give this a try. It has to taste better than deep-fried Oreos or Kool-Aid pickles.
The release date has yet to be announced, but this looks interesting...
"Drew: The Man Behind The Poster" is a feature-length documentary film highlighting the career of poster artist Drew Struzan, whose most popular works include the Indiana Jones, Back to the Future and Star Wars movie posters.
Telling the tale through exclusive interviews with George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Michael J. Fox, Frank Darabont, Guillermo del Toro, Steven Spielberg and many other filmmakers, artists and critics, the journey spans Drew’s early career in commercial and album cover art through his recent retirement as one of the most recognizable and influential movie poster artists of all time.
Remarkably, most of Drew's illustrations are created by hand, rather than digitally.
Need a reason to indulge? Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is celebrating its 75th anniversary this week. This short video was created to commemorate the occasion, showing "the original glazed doughnuts being made all the way from dough to box."
The starkness of a hand-drawn line—with its potential for lyrical beauty—is essential to Gustav Klimt's art. Through line, Klimt sought to convey the essence of the human form, and the nature of human existence.
As an artist, he wanted to explore universal emotions like suffering, hope and love; and it was through the daily practice of life-drawing that he cultivated his ideas.
The ingredients include: 23 carats of edible gold sheets, Doves organic flour from the United Kingdom, Rachel's organic butter, Premium Amedei Porcelena cocoa from Italy and gold Ugandan high-quality vanilla beans. Mix 'em all up and you'll get the most expensive cupcake in the world, "The Golden Phoenix."
The gaudy sweet creation was made by Bloomsbury's Cupcakes in Dubai and costs just $1,000 USD. Here's a look at how it was made:
To create the masterpiece, steel wire was twisted into the shape of the dress and covered with a sheet of vinyl. Then 50,000 gummy bears were painstakingly glued on by hand in a colorful pattern reminiscent of a Chevron rainbow.
Taking three weeks to complete, the final dress was fitted exactly to MAJOR model Jessica Pitti's measurements. And weighing in at approximately 220 pounds, required the strength of three adults to move.
The Project Twins describe their series, "A-Z of Unusual Words," in the following way: "Bold graphics and visual wit are used to interpret and represent a collection of strange, unusual and lost words."
Here are a few of their whimsical word illustrations.
Acersecomic: A person whose hair has never been cut.
Recumbentibus: A knockout punch, either verbal or physical.
Tarantism: A disorder characterised by an uncontrollable urge to dance.
