6. David LaChapelle's upcoming show at Fred Torres features modern-day representations of Dutch Masters' still life paintings. When looked closely, exploding bunches of flowers reveal spooky (and sometimes gross) objects nestled in their midst like headless dolls, canned sausages and cheetos. Yum. [Animal New York]
7. There's a blog called "Babes of NPR" that shows the hotties behind those soporific, liberal voices. Ben Bergman: call me. [The Observer]
