“This gorgeous Hälssen & Lyon calendar is made of brewable tea. Each day is made of fine pressed wafer thin tea leaves.”

This is PERFECT for the Tea-Addict! :p
It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
Next month, Marina AbramoviÄ will star alongside Willem Dafoe in The Life and Death of Marina AbramoviÄ, an experimental stage show based on her life with music written and performed by Antony, which will make its North American debut at Toronto’s Luminato Festival following a sold-out run in Europe.
“Marina Abramović is among a handful of the most celebrated living female artists in the world—and certainly the most successful performance artist, both financially and in terms of critical reception.”
Adam Smith claimed that the idea of fashion applies to situations in which taste is a central concept. That applies to clothing, furniture, music, poetry, architecture, and the field of fashion can, thus, be situated between design and culture. Roland Barthes explained how “clothes are the material basis of fashion, whereas fashion itself is a cultural system of meanings
Marina Abramović, Rhythm 0, 1974
“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”
