Almost everything we see on magazine covers, advertisements, and in different types of media have been altered digitally. Photoshop has not only changed the way we look, but also the way people perceive the human body, particularly our skin. Everything becomes perfect, flawless, and unreal with the magic of photoshop.

Dutch artist Juuke Schoorl took on the challenge of presenting the “flexibility and the malleability” of the human skin in a series of photographs dubbed as REK.

Wondering what REK stands for? It literally means “stretch” in Dutch. Something Schoorl tried to achieve in the skin of her subjects in her series. Using items like nylon string and tape, the artist physically manipulated the skin of her subjects, reshaping the human skin into something the world has not seen before.

The golden question of the day: “What color is this dress?”

Social media has been busy all day debating about the color of what seems like a million-dollar dress. Offices, classrooms, and lounges have been filled with screaming teams of Blue-Blacks and Gold-Whites.

On Thursday, a Tumblr blogger posted a photo of a striped dress, and was then picked up by Buzzfeed. The very simple blog post led millions buzzing and arguing over the color a dress. Some say that the dress is a combination of blue and black, while others claim that they can see gold and white. Several scientific, personal, and metaphysical explanations have risen in the hopes of explaining the mind-boggling mystery behind the color of this dress.

So you think that America does it bigger and better in all things ostentatious? Take a look at these tombstones of former members of the Russian Mafia and you’ll realize that there’s nothing like these in good, old U.S. of A.

These have got to be the most pimpin’ tombstones I’ve ever seen. Leave it to the Russian mafia to be badass even in death.

This man believed that one must live large even from beyond the grave.
