Swedish Modeling Agencies Soliciting Teenagers At Eating Disorder Clinic

Swedish Modeling Agencies Soliciting Teenagers At Eating Disorder Clinic

When you hear of successful models being discovered, it’s generally a tale of that young woman walking down the street or through a mall, perhaps even winning a prestigious contest that enabled her to begin a journal toward fame and fortune.

Gallery: Lykke Li Gets Dark For Interview Magazine

Lykke Li might play fun, upbeat music with a hint of sadness, but she went darker than usual for her latest photo shoot with Interview Magazine. With heavy eye makeup, frantic scribbles and some rather sinister hats, Interview turned the Swedish pop star into a vessel for their beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy. It’s almost hard to believe this is the same lady who wrote “Dance, Dance, Dance.” Needless to say, I’m into it. More »

Once it’s fully developed, the material, Metaflex, could manipulate light waves to make things invisible. And by things, I mean clothing. Like a cloak.
