After creating a fake trivia book as a gift for a friend’s wedding, author Jeff Waldman decided it’d be funny to actually publish some more, including some fantastic illustrations to really sell the book.

Spare a thought for the true fashion victims of NYFW.

No, not the Yeezy models (although we send them our sympathies). We’re talking about the kind, patient souls who volunteer to follow around their blogger friends and snap their street style photos for Instagram.

These are the Instagram husbands. The tag-along friends. The acquaintances who own good cameras and were told they’d be having a fun day out.

This is raspberry cake. It is filled with raspberry mousse, cremeux, confit and sponge cake. It is then covered in a shiny red glaze. So shiny.

Do try not to lick the screen.

This cake is just one of the many incredible creations by Ukrainian pastry chef Dinara Kasko that you can drool over on her Instagram page.

Seriously, this woman doesn’t make a bad looking cake.

And you probably won’t be surprised to learn that, before she got into baking, Dinara worked as an architect-designer and a 3D visualizer, after studying architecture at college.

When Stanford student Brock Turner was found guilty of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in June 2016, people were outraged at the leniency of the six-month sentence.

Last week, he was released after only serving half of his sentence, sparking more angry criticism.

But perhaps the most powerful response to his release was from photographer and college student Yana Mazurkevich – who marked the occasion by publishing a graphic photo series on sexual assault.

Look, we’ve all been there.

You get home, drunk, and you’re struck by what seems like a moment of food-related genius. You make a chocolate spread sandwich and shove some pickles in it. You think it’s delicious. You’re in love with this sandwich. You are so smart.

But then you wake up the next morning, a sober adult, and realise that your creation is nothing more than the sandwich making of a drunk child. You vow to never share its magic with anyone else. You move on.

We all have these moments, but we understand that they are nothing to be proud of, nothing to share with the world.

Why you’re better queuing behind one person with a full trolley than people with baskets

It’s the classic supermarket conundrum. Do you queue behind the person with a trolley filled to the brim, or do you wait behind the line of people in the ’10 items or fewer’ queue?

For some reason, I tend to always opt for the basket queue. It just seems like it would be faster – short, sharp bursts, instead of watching someone while they unload a whole month’s worth of shopping.

But, according to maths, I’m probably picking the slower queue. I’ve always hated maths.

Anyone who wears glasses knows the struggle of slippery specs. If it’s hot, your sunglasses will slip down your greasy nose. If it’s cold, your prescription specs will slide down your dry nose. Is there no relief?

Actually, now there is – in the form of a lip-balm sized tube of wax.

Nerdwax is a little tube of all-natural, organic ingredients designed to create a layer of friction between your skin and glasses.

In fact, creators Don and Lydia Hejny even say that the wax is beneficial to skin thanks to organic ingredients, and will mean that sensitive skin won’t break out from usage.

Want to jazz up your body in a non-permanent way, but getting a little bored of stick on metallic bracelets and headbands?

Enter body marbling. It’s the next big temporary art trend, and soon everyone will be doing it.

Over the last few weeks, festival-goers in the U.S. have been treated to snazzy body marbling stalls, where they can swing by and get their hands, arms, face, or any other body part they fancy gloriously covered in swirling colour.

It’s all temporary, quick to do, and it looks great.

Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how well this couple stuck to their wedding theme. It’s glorious.

When artist Taylor Ann Linko tied the knot with Chris, she knew a classic white dress wasn’t really an option.

She’s an artist. She’s a little messy. Wearing pure, pristine white just isn’t her thing.

And so she decided to get creative.

Taylor started off by buying a traditional wedding dress secondhand, then set to work on adding some colour.

She decided to go with a sunset theme, with vibrant shades of deep red, orange, and purple.

Rainbow bagel, our time together was sweet and delightful. We marvelled at how you were made. We lusted over your swirling colours.

But now, sadly, the time has come for us to accept that in our hearts, we were never rainbow bagel people.

We are goth bagel people, requiring bagels as black as our cold, unyielding hearts.

It’s awful.

Fashion is political.

The clothes we wear say something. They help us spread a message. Fashion has played a role in protests, it always has a part in the election process, and it’s been a battleground for women’s rights.

We all know we should be using protection for all our hookups.

But a lot of the time, people don’t.

This is down to all kinds of reasons. Our misguided belief that we’re all superhumans and are magically immune to STIs and pregnancy, for example. The fact that women continue to be shamed for carrying around condoms, as if a dedication to having safe sex is a poor reflection on our character (it’s not).

Oh, and the fact that the majority of condoms for major brands are designed with male shoppers in mind.
