Yay! It's time to eat fried food and not wash your face, because having acne is officially considered fashionable! At Milan Men's Fashion Week, Malaysian designer Moto Guo showed off his quirky fashion line while his models showed off their blotchy and pimply skin, thanks to makeup artist Roberta Betti. Yeah, these models have perfect bodies and perfect faces, so the acne is fake and done with makeup, but that just means you can brag that you are the real deal, baby!

Moto Guo's whimsical collection was described as "nerdy grooming" and "surreal" by WWD, and the reception to the clothing was rather lukewarm. However, the decision to adorn the runway models in faux-zits definitely got the internet talking.
It's important to have someone special to capture your big day, and a child prodigy is pretty darn special. Regina Wyllie is a Scotland-based wedding photographer who is already in high demand. Her dad Kevin Wyllie, also a photographer, has been taking Regina on shoots since she was three years old.
Like father, like daughter.
As legend has it, Regina once dropped her toy camera and grabbed her dad's Canon G9, little by little learning the art and having way more fun with the real deal.
Regina's first real gig was in April, and her career is on the rise.

Her career is taking off as word spreads of the newest game in town. She even met Rod Stewart, whose music is definitely waaayyyy too inappropriate for her.
Although it's unclear exactly what "MILF Money" is, all the hot celebrity moms in Fergie's new video seem to come by it by having all the town's young men wrapped around their little fingers. (It also might be "Moms I'd Like To Follow" according to Instagram, but that doesn't really jibe with all the sexiness in the video.) One thing is for sure: it involves a lot of milk.
Featuring Ciara, Chrissy Teigen, Kim Kardashian West, Devon Naoki, Tara Lynn, Angela Lindvail, Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Gemma Ward, Amber Valletta, and Alessandra Ambrosio, the filming of this music video basically doubles as a full-employment act for Hollywood's priciest babysitters. Check out the Instagrams below the video of each of the stars who cameoed.
As weird Gaga can be sometimes, this is pretty normal for kids who grow up in the Big Apple like she did. Now she lives in Los Angeles, however, where people have bigger apartments than New Yorkers but spend half their day inside their cars. (Gaga has had a learner's permit for quite some time.)
Why is your voice so much more pleasant and rich in your head than it is on a recording? That seems to be a question many people have the first time they hear their own voice played back for them. It would be one thing if everyone's voices sounded different, but voices that aren't your own sound the same in person and on tape. It turns out there's a reason for that, and as AsapTHOUGHT explains, it's all in your head. Well, your skull, anyway.
Basically, when you hear any voice (or sound) that's not your own, it arrives through the air. Pressure waves caused by the sound tickle little hairs that are attached to little hammer-like bones in your inner ear, and this makes them twitch and send a signal to your nerves. Thus, a physical signal (sound waves) is turned into an electrochemical signal for your brain to interpret.
"Tiny bones"
But when you speak, that sound originates from inside your own body. "Duh," you say, but that has an effect. Low frequencies (lower-pitched noises) travel better through solids than they do through the air. Your body is solid. Those deeper notes in your voice vibrate through your bones directly into your ear canal, shaking those same inner ear hammers. It's like cranking up the bass in your car: that sound was already part of the original voice, but you're highlighting the lower end of the spectrum when your skull acts as an amplifier.
This part sounded GREAT in his head.
The video goes on to explain how women's voices change depending on the time of the month, and how both men and women speak differently to try and be sexy. If you think listening to your voice is irritating now, just try listening to a tape of you attempting to sound sexy.
The Impossible Paper Illusion is a staple of the surprisingly vast canon of paper tricks. With scissors and paper as the only supplies, three strategically placed slits can make a trippy magic flap. The surprisingly lucid HowToLifeHacks420 posted a tutorial of the gimmick, and even though they still call the illusion "impossible," now you can see how it's done. (Although, you might have to watch it a few times to get it.)
With the flip, the flap can't fit into the vacant spots.
Illusion or no illusion?

Have you tried to do it yet? How stupid did you look/sound?
It's pretty hard to pull off, so don't worry if you can't do it. Plus, there's not a huge demand for polyphonic overtone singers right now, unless you live in a Nepalese monastery. Better focus your time and energy on learning an actual useful skill, like Excel.
Bars: maybe you've been to one, maybe you're at one right now (go talk to someone), but how do they work? Why are some drinks cool and other drinks carry some sort of social stigma? Are your jokes lame? How long should you fantasize about settling down with the woman across the bar before realizing that she's seen you and you're creeping her out? All this and more is answered by the hilarious Casually Explained:
It's been a big, dare we say explosive year for Dr. Sandra "Pimple Popper" Lee, and she's giving back to all the pimple-addicted Americans (and Canadians, we see you celebrating Canada Day over there) who turned her from an ordinary successful dermatologist into a successful YouTube dermatologist. What are "red, white and blue" pops, you ask? Well, the "Red" pop is a cyst that was excised from a left cheek (there was a bit of blood), the "White" was a more-or-less bloodless cyst removal (so you could only see the white dead skin cells within), and the "Blue" was a real rarity—a complete cyst removal where the dark-colored sac remained intact. Are you sure you're ready for this? Who am I kidding, you're the one who clicked on this:
Humans can get goosebumps for a lot of reasons, primarily because of cold but also from reactions to music, movies, sounds or fear. The cold reaction makes the most sense; your hair follicles stand on end, which (if you had more hair than modern humans do) increases the distance between your skin and the cold air. But what about the other reasons? Is it like ASMR? BrainCraft's Vanessa Hill examines some movie clips and songs that have been used in scientific studies for their proven ability to stimulate vicarious goosepimples in humans. If her samples don't give you goosebumps, you can check out full-length versions of the shivery clips below.
Here are all the film and music clips from the video that scientists believe are extra-good at causing goosebumps.
