World’s Oldest Successful Supermodel At Age 82
As a woman, I know firsthand what it's like to feel pressured by society to look a certain way in order to be considered beautiful.

Sin City Welcomes Disney Princesses To Be Badass

Star Wars Posters: They Don’t Get More Minimalistic Than This
When I look at really creative and impressive posters, I always get a little childish thinking that I want to plaster my walls with them all over again.
