Brad Pitt opens up…
British GQ cover star Brad Pitt is usually mum about his personal life, which is why his latest interview with the magazine is so intriguing. Case in point: “I wouldn’t say marriage is just a title. There’s more to it than that,” he says. [ Popsugar ]
Not that kind of book tour…
In her ever-quirky way, Lena Dunham decided against a traditional book tour for the promotion of her tome, Not That Kind of Girl. The actress instead took to the Internet to hold an open call for “warm-up acts” to accompany her throughout the 11-city trek. Dunham said she “wanted it to have an arts festival feel, which is why we now have all these remarkable, special weirdos who I found on the Internet.” [ The New York Times ]
Barbie Lagerfeld sells out…
Karl Lagerfeld’s Barbie has sold out, proving once again that the designer has unparalleled power in the fashion industry. Net-a-Porter sold all 999 units of the limited-edition toy, which launched this morning, for $200 apiece. Don’t fret if you didn’t wake up early enough to secure your purchase, though—the designer dolls can be found for resale on eBay. Unfortunately, they’re selling for at least four times the original price. [ Fashionista ]
But first, let me take a selfie…
From the unveiling of the Apple Watch to Opening Ceremony’s smart accessory, we’ve heard a lot about wearable technology recently. But this might just be the most unique invention yet: Finalists in Intel’s Make It Wearable competition have created a Wearable Selfie Drone, which is a bracelet that hovers from your wrist, reorients itself, and takes photos of you. Just remember who brought you drone street style first. [ TechCrunch ]
Stop looking at me…
A new study has discovered the reason why some people find it difficult to maintain eye contact. After conducting a series of tests, physiologists have concluded that an “adult’s bodily awareness becomes more acute when they are subjected to another’s gaze,” hence making us feel more self-conscious or uncomfortable. Another good reason to always look your best. [ New York ]
