To be honest, I was never a big fan of Masters Of the Universe. The characters were pretty stiff, and about as creative as you would imagine from a boardroom of executives inventing a new line of toys with matching TV show.

V Magazine consistently puts out some of the best fashion spreads in the publishing game, of course never afraid to push the proverbial envelope (we particularly enjoyed their covers with Adriana Lima and Ana Beatriz Barros, Miranda Kerr and Natalia Vodianova).

We’ve covered several of Romain Jerome’s outlandish timepiece creations before (like the $17,900 PAC-MAN wristwatch, or the similar Space Invaders version).

Calvin Harris continues to solidify his transition from underground DJ to pop star producer with his latest track, “Sweet Nothing”.
