On Dancing With Madonna in Elevators, Plucking Her ‘Caterpillar’ Eyebrows, and More

After entertaining audience questions at the premiere of her exhausting new film, MDNA, Madge presided over the after-party at Harlow like a champion. While her daughter Lourdes slow-danced with Homeland’s Timotheé Chalamet, her 12-year-old son Rocco got down with her troupe of superhuman shirtless dancers. At 2 a.m., Madonna and her kids headed for the door, but then Rocco realized he’d forgotten something and dashed back inside. “I’ll be in the car,” Madonna said patiently. And the crowd dispersed. 

Read on for Madonna moments with Riccardo Tisci, Debi Mazar, Jenna Lyons, and more.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 revisits the FCC with AT&T native LTE

Yes, we've seen Samsung's Galaxy Mega 6.3 at the FCC before. With its second visit, however, there's something special. The extra-large phone is back as the SGH-i527, and it's carrying AT&T-native LTE that hints at a probable US carrier deal. There aren't any other visible changes in the filing, although we weren't expecting any. The real question is when this behemoth will ship to the States, assuming it ships at all -- for now, any possible AT&T launch remains shrouded in mystery.

Adafruit smart helmet guides bike riders

Bike sharing systems like New York's Citi Bike may be taking off, but it's doubtful that many participants can find every station without checking a map. Thankfully, Adafruit has unveiled a smart helmet project that could help at least a few of those riders get to their destinations while keeping their eyes on the road. The DIY effort feeds locations to an Arduino-based Flora board and its positioning add-ons, which in turn use a string of NeoPixel LEDs on the helmet as turn indicators. Commuters just have to watch for blinking lights to know where to go next. While the system isn't easy to set up when cyclists have to manually enter coordinates, it is flexible: the open-source code lets it adapt to most any bike sharing system or headpiece. As long as you can get over looking like a Christmas tree on wheels while you navigate, you can build a smart helmet of your own using the instructions at the source link.

Watch a Deranged Feminist Makeup Tutorial

Have you ever thought to yourself, These YouTube makeup tutorials don't have nearly enough simmering misandry? If so, you might enjoy this "feminist" makeup tutorial making the rounds online this week. Its blend of cat-eye how-to and not-totally-ironic rage is like a mash-up of the lady blogosphere's polar extremes. It doesn't exactly satirize either end of the spectrum (the makeup advice is good, after all), but it's on to something. I'd binge-watch a Netflix original miniseries about a makeup vlogger who violently snaps on the patriarchy, for example.

video

Since surveillance culture is at the top of the news agenda, this new invention from Japan's National Institute of Informatics couldn't be more timely. It's a pair of goggles that blocks facial recognition algorithms and ensures that no one can snap a pic of your mug without your permission. The wearable uses 11 near-infrared LEDs that shine a bright light. It's invisible to humans, but enough to dazzle any passing cameras. Admittedly, the technology is useless for cameras that aren't sensitive to infrared, which is why the institute is also experimenting with reflective materials that'll work with any imaging sensor -- but that, unfortunately, isn't quite ready for prime time. Curious to see it in action? Head on past the break for the video.

Wishlist: The Hermès Mini Berline

For those with a sportier, easier lifestyle than that of an Hermès Kelly or Birkin devotee, the French house's Mini Berline is perfect for the simple (or, at least, simpler) life, with a padded body that keeps just the essentials. Plus, it comes with a cross-body strap for hands-free commuting. While the price relegates it to our Pinterest board, for now, you can't argue that the color would lift most moods.

Hermès Sac Mini Berline in Swift Calfskin, $6,100 at Hermès.
