5-year-old designs her own dress for pre-school graduation, totally steals the show.

Pre-school graduations are typically a pretty casual affair, but this little girl decided to dress to the nines for hers. She was so serious about looking fabulous, in fact, that she decided to design her own dress.

Twitter user Ash León posted some photos of the little girl, who is her cousin, earlier this week. "My 5 year old cousin insisted on designing her own dress for her pre-k graduation," León wrote. "I'm so proud of her levels of EXTRA." The tweet quickly went viral, racking up almost 5,000 retweets and over 14,000 likes.

As you can see from the photos, León's little cousin truly went all out. Her bright pink dress consisted of tulle, feathers, and sequins. There's no question she's got a serious eye for design. I mean, just look at that mermaid silhouette!

Yes, girl! We were already amazed by all the creative teens making their own prom dresses, so imagine how impressed we are by this tiny child. If she's already designing dresses like this at age 5, just imagine what she's going to do in the future. She'll probably have a line at Target by the time she hits middle school. Let's hope she decides to start making grown-up clothes soon.


Kevin Spacey and Gordon Ramsay had a swearing contest, and it was f**king glorious.

Famed reality TV chef Gordon Ramsay is never one to mince words, which is probably why his new variety show is called The F Word. Kevin Spacey is an actor known for playing some pretty foul-mouthed characters. So perhaps it's not surprising that when the pair got together to shoot a promo for the series, it quickly devolved from an interview-while-cooking into a swearing contest. Spacey seemed most eager to drop his F-bombs, but Ramsay protested that his were better. At that point, Spacey had to show him how it's done.

Congratulations to Kevin Spacey, the only human to ever out-swear Gordon Ramsay. Maybe he could be the new sous chef in Hell's Kitchen?

These body waxing videos are so strangely satisfying, you'll be addicted before you know it.

We all enjoy watching Dr. Pimple Popper go up against giant cysts and monster lipomas, but if you want to branch out to another genre of satisfyingly weird internet videos, you've got to check out Liz Lugo's Instagram account. A licensed esthetician working in Temecula, California, Lugo discovered about a year ago that videos of her body-waxing techniques went viral and increased her business—so now she posts waxing clips all the time. And they are truly hypnotic.

Smooooooth upper legs!!! To book your appointment click on the link in my bio #browsby_liz

Dang, that is nothing like I imagined the waxing experience, but I guess I was just remembering that scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. And people seem to love watching Lugo work. "I most often hear that it's really therapeutic," she told CNBC. "I'm very methodical in how I lay my strips. It helps them sleep at night. It relaxes them." Truly, her application is masterful.

But the best part—aside from not feeling the pain of having your body hair ripped out by the roots—is that these videos are a bit safer for work than the nasty stuff Dr. Pimple Popper tends to post. Sure, it'll still be weird to explain to your boss, but at least he won't throw up on your desk.

LED eyelashes are here to bring the dance party to your face.

We thought we'd seen it all when it came to beauty trends - feather brows, yellow blush, glitter tears - but this one has really taken us by surprise. Apparently, LED eyelashes are now a thing that you can put on your face.

According to Mashable, these beauties are called F.Lashes. They're interactive, illuminated false eyelashes that appear to change their display animations depending on how you move.

Here is F.Lashes co-creator Tien Pham, who is a designer for tech company Arduino, showing the lashes off on Friday:

According to Pham, the lashes are powered by a teeny-tiny watch battery that lasts about four hours, Mashable reports. They come in pink, red, blue, light blue, white, yellow, and green, and can be applied using regular eyelash glue.

They are controlled by a small Arduino controller that attaches to the back of your head using hair clips. As Pham explains in the video, the LED eyelashes can be put into "dance mode" or "sparkle mode."

According to Pham, the F.Lashes aren't too annoying to wear. "The [F.Lashes] light is NOT blinding," he wrote on his Facebook page. "In fact, I often can't tell I have them turned on. I have to cup my hand over my eye to see the light. You might see a bit of light when you're in a dark room, but it's not much."

Does anyone else think they look like something Katniss Everdeen would wear to a Hunger Games opening ceremony?

While F.Lashes aren't being sold to the masses quite yet, they were shown at the Maker Faire 2017 Editor's Choice, and will be available to the public sometime in July via a Kickstarter campaign.

So what do you think? Will you be wearing LED lights on your eyeballs anytime soon?

Japanese woman's amazing pigeon shoes are sure to turn heads in the park this summer.

Kyoto Ohata, a shoe designer from Japan, was recently spotted out and about in an unusual pair of high heels that look a lot more like birds than footwear.

According to Bored Panda, Ohata had more than fashion in mind when she made the pigeon shoes: she often walks through an area crowded with real pigeons and didn't want to scare them away, hence the clever urban camouflage. Birds of a feather flock together, and everybody's happy.

And if you want to steal Ohata's look, well, she's made it incredibly easy. All you'll need is a regular pair of high heels, plus some felt, lightweight foam, and wire.

For the rest of the step-by-step instructions, head over to Bored Panda. You'll be strutting your stuff in no time.

A great way to avoid Memorial Day weekend traffic is to avoid leaving the house on Memorial Day weekend.

Paul Ryan got snubbed by a bunch of 8th graders at his D.C. photo-op. The children are our future.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, after repeatedly kowtowing to an unhinged President Trump and championing a healthcare bill that would cause millions to lose their insurance, is so politically toxic that even 8th graders won't pose with him.

The kids were on a Washington, D.C. field trip from South Orange Middle School (my alma mater, no big deal) in South Orange, New Jersey, and on Friday they had the opportunity to pose for a photo with Ryan during their tour of the Capitol. About half the class, or some 100 students, refused—and stood in a parking lot across the way. Which helps to explain this awkward result.

Got that #FridayFeeling 👊

A post shared by Speaker Paul Ryan (@speakerryan) on

According to local news source The Village Green, the SOMS students had pointedly political reasons for the snub. "I think that taking the picture represents that you agree with the same political views and I don’t agree with his political views so I chose not to be in it," said Wendy Weeks, while Louisa Maynard-Parisi explained: "I didn’t want to be in [the picture] because he believes in most of what Trump believes in."

Meanwhile, the comments on the actual Instagram post are a hoot, with at least one student claiming that the kids who stayed for the photo were just there to make fun of Ryan, whom they think of as a "walking talking meme."

Truly, the children are our future.


Boy comes flying out of a brand-new water slide just 90 minutes after it officially opens.

If you're in Northern California and considering your water park options for the summer, you may want to think twice about The Wave, which just opened in the city of Dublin for Memorial Day weekend. Although the park cost a whopping $43 million, it's not clear that their rides are entirely safe.

Dramatic video, in fact, shows a 10-year-old boy being thrown from a water slide called the Emerald Plunge just an hour and half after the ride had officially opened. He comes out toward the end and skids along the concrete. The East Bay Times reports that he was "just shaken up," with a scratch on his shoulder—but both that slide and the one next to it were shut down for reevaluation.

Scary stuff, but thank goodness he's OK. And if he's anything like I was as a 10-year-old, he was probably disappointed he couldn't ride that slide again.

Here are the other pop stars Ariana Grande has invited to join her Manchester benefit concert.

After the terrifying Manchester Arena bombing that killed 22 and wounded 116 following her concert at the venue, pop star Ariana Grande offered to pay funeral costs for the victims and pledged to return for a benefit show.

A post shared by Ariana Grande (@arianagrande) on

Now, according to a report in Hollywood Life, Grande is in the process of stacking that show's lineup with an amazing array of performers. The concert is scheduled to take place on June 4, and someone close to Grande said she has already reached out to Jennifer Hudson, Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Selena Gomez, and Chris Brown—though since it's such short notice, schedule conflicts may pose a problem. Miley Cyrus was apparently on the list but couldn't make it due to her own current tour.

The 23-year-old Grande will also apparently ask for a moment of silence for the bombing victims and deliver a speech written by herself. "The speech will pay tribute to the dead and to their families and friends, as well as taking a stand against terrorism and vowing not to ever give in, and to stay strong," this inside source claimed.

Security will also be extremely tight, of course. "Each person will have to go through a rigorous metal detector test, and all bags will be sent through an X-ray machine, just like they have at the airports. In addition there will be a heavy police and security presence, both around the arena and inside," the source said.

All in all, it promises to be a safe, star-studded, and above all fitting tribute to fans and families who have been through an unimaginable ordeal. Now we just have to wait and see if that gasbag Piers Morgan manages to criticize it anyway.

Every once in a while, we encounter a sign that makes us do a double take. Maybe it offers a strange piece of advice, or a curious directive. Maybe it forbids something we can't imagine a human being actually trying. But in every case, we have to wonder: How did it become necessary to put this up?

Imgur user chocolateistheanswer has compiled a wonderful collection of such signs, and they are each a sight to behold. Join us in puzzling over their origins—or, if you know how they came to be posted, please tell us, because the mystery is driving us mad.

In conclusion, people are always punching, pooping, and summoning ghosts in places they shouldn't. For shame.

Men freaked out about the women-only screening of 'Wonder Woman.' So the theater is adding way more.

When the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema announced plans to hold a women-only screening of Wonder Woman, with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood, you knew men were going to freak out. And they sure did.

It's almost like sexist trolls are incredibly easy to provoke? But the theater itself, to its great credit, couldn't give a toss about these whiny dudes.

Wow! Controversy really sells tickets. In fact, the guys complaining about the screening seem to have given Alamo enough press to keep adding women-only showings of the one superhero film to ever feature a female lead.

Morgan Hendrix, Alamo Drafthouse's creative manager, told the Washington Postthat "providing an experience where women truly reign supreme has incurred the wrath of trolls only serves to deepen our belief that we’re doing something right," and as a result, "we will be expanding this program across the country and inviting women everywhere to join us as we celebrate this iconic superheroine in our theaters." So, male nerds, do you still think tweeting your outrage about this was a good idea? Apparently so, because you're still going.

Keep it up, men. You're just gonna give Alamo more great ideas.

Having Monday off is a great opportunity to hate Tuesday.

High school seniors prank their principal by turning him into a meme and making sure he sees it.

It's spring and you know what that means: senior prank season!!! This is good news for us, and bad news for people who've generously devoted their life's work to educating America's youth.

When the principal of Willis High School in Texas, Travis Utrecht, told students they wouldn't be able to walk (in graduation) if they did a senior prank, the class of 2017 got to work planning their senior prank.Never change, teens!

All millennials have one powerful tool against authority at their command 24/7: memes. So these seniors chose one of the Internet's most popular memes at the moment, "Mocking Spongebob," to roast their principal. But posting a meme on Twitter wasn't guaranteed to get the principal, administration and student body's full attention.

So they made the memes by hand and hung them in the school cafeteria. BOSS MOVE, TEENS.

One of the students shared photos of the prank on Twitter. And as a reward for their creativity and courage, the students' work has gone hugely viral:

Hard to miss this:

Sorry, not sorry, Principal Utrecht.

Principal just got Sponge-burned!


With over 65,000 retweets since last Thursday, these students might've already won senior spring. They've definitely made at least one school alum proud:

And it turns out, Principal Utrecht knows how to take a joke and might even be cool AF. Because according to one student, he asked that the memes not be taken down:

And according to someone else on Twitter, no one will be punished over the prank.

Also, we are beginning to suspect an ulterior motive behind this prank. Because it sounds like Principal Utrecht is something of a fox.

It's true what they say. You only roast the ones you love.

I'm spending Memorial Day weekend deleting any photos you post of me in a bathing suit.


Police officers pose for bizarre bedroom selfie with drunk guy they just took home.

Two cops in Tasmania, Australia, went way above and far beyond the call of duty this past weekend when they took a drunk guy home, tucked him into bed, AND took a selfie with him, on his phone. Only in Tasmania, right guys??

Just imagine waking up after a night of heavy drinking, and scrolling through your phone to figure out WTF you did last night and finding THIS:

At least everyone in this photo appears to be having fun.

That's what happened to a man from Tasmania/our new BFF, who we know only as "Reece."

Reece, who is clearly unphased by selfies with cops, shared the selfie on Facebook and a screenshot of his post was shared on Reddit early this morning, where it went viral:

Some people might say these police crossed a line. But not Reece. Nope. He applauded the cops for their "banger selfies," calling them "bloody legends" and also "good cunts" which is apparently a compliment in Australian.

According to Reddit commenters, this Reece is somewhat of a "legend" himself. Why are we not surprised?

Some commenters are jealous of him getting such star treatment from the cops. But it turns out, this is pretty typical for Tasmania.

The selfie even found its way to the Tasmanian Police Department, who shared it along with an explanation for why their employees took the selfie: it was to "help the guy remember how he got home." Good one, Tasmanian Police Department.

Tasmania Police encourages party-goers to plan ahead so they can enjoy their night.

Senior Sgt Craig Fox, of Northern District, said that people should pre-arrange a designated driver, use public transport or organise a taxi if they were intending to have a big night.

“Make a plan about how you will get home before you have a drink. Then there’s no risk to you, your family, friends or others on the road,” Snr Sgt Fox said.

“Consideration should also be given to arranging alternative accommodation for the night, at either a friend’s house or hotel/motel to ensure your safety. People should stick together and look out for one another when going out, or when heading home.”

Snr Sgt Fox said that police did not normally drive people home who were suffering from the effects of alcohol.

“However police are always looking for a place of safety for anyone who is affected by alcohol.

“On this occasion, police were contacted by a taxi company for assistance in getting the man home. When police arrived, they found out his address, took the man home and waited for a friend to arrive to look after him,” he said.

“Because he was a bit worse for wear, our officers took the opportunity to record the moment with a selfie in the likely event he could not remember how he got home.”

They also included a link with more information on "how to have a safe night out." #1 on this list should be "move to Tasmania." We'll see you there 😎😎😎

Ivanka Trump gets dragged on Twitter for her website's 'tasteless' Memorial Day tweet.

0

Memorial Day is when many Americans take the day off work in order to honor and remember those who died while serving the country (and sure, maybe we eat too much and get drunk while remembering them). Even President Donald Trump, who knows maybefour things in total, knows this.

First daughter Ivanka Trump, however, may have missed the memo.

Because earlier today, her website/brand Ivanka Trump HQ posted this tweet in "honor" of Memorial Day. A lot of people didn't find it very honorable.

Never has there been a more tasteless tweet about a more tasteful combination (because champagne popsicles sound great). Because as many have pointed out on Twitter, while champagne and popsicles may be a perfect combo, champagne popsicles and Memorial Day are not.

Sure, Ivanka Trump herself probably didn't tweet this (she's probably too busy helping her husband avoid prison). But either way, a national holiday devoted to commemorating fallen soldiers is probably not the day for your brand to be tweeting about champagne popsicles, when your father is the President of the United States.

(We are still very excited for champagne popsicles though.)

Twitter is trolling the hell out of Ivanka Trump HQ for the tweet which people are calling "insensitive" and the "definition of tone-deaf":

Vets aren't into it:

As this person pointed out, the whole website has re-branded Memorial Day as the "the kick off to summer."

But the best responses are coming from relatives of veterans who are trolling the first daughter by sharing photos of family members who served in the military:

Ivanka Trump HQ's tweet has only 300 likes and more than 2,000 replies, which we all know is a sign you should DELETE DELETE DELETE.

C'mon Ivanka. Even your dad miraculously managed to get it together for Memorial Day.

Baby in viral video 'walking' minutes after being born will make you feel inadequate.

Most of us spend the first few minutes of life peeing and/or screaming bloody murder. And can you blame us, after that unexpected and jarring entrance into this big, loud, weird world???

But for an unknown baby in a video that went hugely viral this weekend, getting born was simply NBD. She just tumbled out and was like "LIFE! LET'S DO THIS!"

Video that appears to show a baby in Brazil "walking" in a delivery room "just minutes after" she was born has been viewed 81 million times since it was shared on Thursday by a woman named Arlete Arantes.

You can watch it here, but prepare to feel lazy for having taken fewer steps today than this baby took in the first MINUTES of her life:

Isto é incrível nenê sai caminhando após acabar de nascer.

Posted by Arlete Arantes on Thursday, May 25, 2017

This baby seems like she might be the world's next superhero, so watch out, evil villains everywhere!

In the video, a woman dressed in surgical scrubs can be heard shouting in Portuguese: "Oh my gosh, the girl is walking. Good gracious!" the Sun reports. And the midwife can be heard saying that she had been trying to give the baby a bath but she had "other ideas."

According to the Sun, the insignia on the midwife's robes match a hospital in Rio Grande do Sul, south Brazil. Other than that, we can't confirm where or when the baby was born, so we don't know who she is or where she is now, but probably out scaling buildings and fighting crimes somewhere.

No pressure on this baby. BUT, now that we have a toddler as a world leader, a walking, crime-fighting baby could be just the one to save us all.

Jessica Chastain calls out Cannes for "disturbing" portrayal of women.

0

Jessica Chastain publicly called out the Cannes Film Festival this weekend for their dismal portrayal of women while serving as a member of the prestigious film festival's 2017 jury. As a juror, Chastain watched 20 movies in 10 days and summarized her feelings about the work she saw in an impassioned speech she gave during a press conference on Sunday.

Selma director and writer Ava DuVernay tweeted a clip of Chastain's speech from May 28th, which promptly went viral and currently has been retweeted over 20,000 times.

"This is the first time I’ve watched 20 films in 10 days, and I love movies. And the one thing I really took away from this experience is how the world views women from the female characters that were represented," said Chastain. "It was quite disturbing to me, to be honest."

Chastain abstained from calling out any of the films in question by name, and did add that there were "some exceptions." For example, she made these comments after Sofia Coppola won the coveted Best Director award for her film The Beguiled, making her the second woman in the film festival's 71-year history to do so. According to The Guardian, Yuliya Solntseva was the last woman to win the award back in 1961 for her film The Story of the Flaming Years. Although Coppola's win indicates significant progress, it is also a stark reminder of how far women still have to go.

Chastain concluded her impromptu speech by saying, "I hope when we include female storytellers they will be more like the women I know in my day-to-day life. They are proactive, have their own point of view and don’t just react to men around them."

Twitter lauded Jessica Chastain's ability to tell it like it is, even while serving on the jury for such a prestigious festival.

This is not the first time Jessica Chastain has spoken out about the injustices women face in the film industry. In April, she told Variety that she is now refusing to accept roles where she gets paid "a quarter of what the male co-star is being paid" after making a fraction of what her co-star Matt Damon made in The Martian. She has also been vocal about the imbalance between male and female film critics, telling The Guardianthat 90% of critics are men.

Earlier this month, Chastain made headlines after chastising actor Johnny Depp for his unprofessional behavior. When someone from the BBC told Chastain that Depp used an earpiece to avoid learning lines, she gifted the world with this epic eye roll:

According to The Guardian, fellow actor and jury member Will Smith also pointed out the sore lack of diversity in the Cannes Film Festival at the same press conference, adding "a couple black folks won’t hurt there either! We’ll talk about that in another time." It is evident that mostly white men still have the strongest hold on Cannes, and Jezebelnotes that no woman of color has ever won the best directing award or the Palme d’Or, the festival's highest prize, since its inception in 1946.

White House communications director Mike Dubke is leaving the administration, he said Tuesday, amid speculation about a possible Trump staff shakeup. A final day has not been set. Dubke said he had "a good conversation with the President" after submitting his resignation. He declined to discuss the turmoil inside the West Wing, only saying he was resigning "for personal reasons." Here's what Twitter had to say about it.
