This week on What Were They Thinking – Wednesday, I am going to have to write about Miley Cyrus and her nude video. However, let this not be an interpretation that I didn’t like what she did. I did like the artistic part of what she did and maybe that’s why I am wondering what she was thinking.

Let’s back track, shall we?

After her performance at the VMAs I was okay with it. I felt it was Madonna 30 years later. She’s making a statement. Big whoop.

Now the video? Is it really necessary?

Isn’t this the definition of over board?

What do you think?

I am always on the lookout for different and unusual design. I like to understand the artist’s thought process, inspiration, vision, etc. When I came across these it was intriguing to say the least – a chair made out of mushrooms – it can’t be. Then I clicked on the link and found it most certainly was a chair made from mushroom. Better even this article shows the process in how they make their pieces out of mushroom. Absolutely Fascinating!

The Lego House

by James May

In August 2009, James May, currently known for co-presenter on Top Gear built a full-sized house out of Legos at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey, UK. Legoland was to move it to their theme park, but plans for this fell through in September 2009 due to costs for deconstruction, shipping and rebuilding being too high. There was a Facebook appeal to save the Lego House, unfortunately it didn’t work out and the house was demolished on September 22, with the plastic bricks planned to be donated to charity.
