I'm not really sure there's words for this
Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber is obviously old news by now, so a British comedy troupe has taken it to the next level in the form of a Biebershop Quartet. According to the official credits, these lovely ladies include Camille Uca, Beattie Edmonson, Hayley Stockwell and Charlotte Boundy.

Lol of the day!
"We do not tolerate people that talk or text in the theater. In fact, before every film, we have several warnings on screen to prevent such happenings. Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater. This video is an actual voicemail from a woman that was kicked out of one of our Austin theaters. Thanks, anonymous woman, for being awesome."
Cute story of the day
From the guy that traded a red paperclip for a house....Store Buyout
On May 20th a “group of artists from a diverse range of backgrounds” walked into West Village bodega Hercules’ Fancy Grocery — a local landmark at risk of shuttering — and bought every last item in stock.
With the help of the Lower East Side’s Fusion Arts Museum, they then repurposed the products they purchased “into a collection of conceptual art that questions our perceptions of value and celebrates the Art of Convenience.”
You can repurchase some of these repurposed products, complete with an “arty” markup, via the Store Buyout Project website.

The Social Tattoo (what is wrong with this girl?)
UPDATE:
Apparently, the the video of Dutch girl getting a 152-Facebook-friends sleeve on her arm we've seen the other day, was fake and gay.
After the video went viral, the tattoo artist couldn't take it anymore and felt he had to come clean, admitting the whole thing was a hoax.
'It is a try out tattoo, a transfer, that washes off in a couple of days,' Moelker, who has a tattoo shop in Rotterdam, told the paper. It took a couple of hours to apply the transfer not the 30 hours the video claimed to produce the real tattoo.

Ordinary people doing extraordinary things
The 15-year-old from Ulverston has been battling the disease for nearly four years, but her recent scan suggests her cancer has spread beyond the point of hope. “Now I know that the cancer is gaining on me,” she writes in her blog profile, “and it doesn’t look like I’m going to win this one.”
Though she may not be long for this world, there are still many things Alice hopes to accomplish while she’s around. On her mother’s advice, Alice created Alice’s Bucket List — “a blog to document this precious time with my family and friends, doing the things I want to do.”
Among the things Alice would like to do: Swim with sharks; meet Take That; go to Kenya; and make everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor.
“Some are possible,” she says. “Some will remain a dream.”
Titanic II sinks on maiden voyage
A boat called Titanic II lived up to her name – and sank on her maiden voyage.
Just like the doomed luxury liner 99 years ago, the 16ft cabin cruiser sprang a leak and rapidly started taking on water.
Horrified owner Mark Wilkinson was left clinging to the side as his pride and joy disappeared beneath the waves – without an iceberg in sight.

Bemused holidaymakers looked on while Mark, from Birmingham, was flung a life belt and finally dragged out of the drink by the local harbour master.

Belfast-born artist Colin Davidson collaborated with the Lyric Theatre on his recent collection of portraits. They're pretty amazing.
You will hear this, and fall in love.
The Tallest Man On Earth is Kristian Matsson (born April 30th, 1983 in Dalarna, Sweden). He plays guitar, banjo and piano and has released two full length albums, the first entitled Shallow Grave and the second entitled The Wild Hunt. He has also released a self-titled 5-track EP on the Swedish label gravitation, as well as a second 5-track EP entitled Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird, recently released on Dead Oceans.
Quite the busy man isn't he! And what? You're surprised he's done ALL that, and still managed to stay under your radar? Well that's why I'm here! :)
There is an instinctive rustic quality to the folk songs of The Tallest Man On Earth, think Bob Dylan, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver.
