AMATEUR FLESH: MARYLEVELING

Chances are you’ve crossed paths with one at some point and the image stuck with you. Black clothes, bold makeup, tall boots, maybe a corset or some lace… an aesthetic that mixes elegance, mystery, and a dark edge that naturally draws attention. I’m talking about goth girls.

The goth style was born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, closely tied to post-punk and darkwave music. Bands like The Cure, Bauhaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees helped shape a cultural scene that wasn’t just about music, but also about the way people dressed, expressed themselves, and understood aesthetics.
Over time, that style evolved into a full subculture. That’s where many of the traits we associate with a goth girl today come from: the dominance of black clothing, pale makeup with heavily defined eyes, outfits inspired by Victorian, romantic, or dark aesthetics, along with boots, chokers, lace, and corsets.

The goth world is also closely connected to a certain artistic sensibility: a taste for the mysterious, the melancholic, horror literature, dark photography, and gloomy atmospheres.
That’s why, for many people, it’s more than just a fashion trend. It’s a form of aesthetic expression — a way of playing with image, contrast, and that dark aura which, far from feeling depressing, often comes across as surprisingly elegant and attractive.

NAKED YOGA VOL12

There’s something interesting about yoga. At first glance it looks like nothing more than a series of calm poses, people stretching on a mat while breathing slowly. But once you start practicing it regularly, you realize there’s a lot more going on than just simple stretching.

First there’s the body. Yoga works on flexibility, strengthens muscles you didn’t even know you had, and improves your posture. After a while you start noticing that you move better, your back complains less, and balance stops being that abstract concept that only shows up when you try something like paddle surfing.

But the really interesting part comes when breathing enters the picture. In yoga everything revolves around how you breathe. It may sound trivial — after all, you’ve been doing it your entire life without thinking — but once you learn to control your breathing rhythm, your body begins to slow down almost automatically. Your pulse settles, your head clears up, and that constant feeling of stress becomes much easier to handle.

Maybe that’s why so many people end up sticking with it. Not because they suddenly want to become some spiritual guru, but because they discover something very simple: spending a few minutes moving your body calmly and breathing with intention can completely change how the rest of your day feels.

In the end, yoga isn’t magic. It won’t fix your life or make your problems disappear. But it does give you something that’s becoming increasingly valuable these days: a small moment to pause, reconnect with your body, and remember that not everything has to move at full speed all the time.

AN AFTERNOON AT THE MINI GOLF COURSE

A putter, a ball, a short course and getting it into the hole in the fewest strokes possible. That’s mini golf. But then you step onto the course, see spinning windmills, impossible ramps, sneaky tunnels and edges that feel like they were designed just to mess with you… and you realize there’s way more going on here than it looks.

The basics are the same as traditional golf: complete the course in the fewest strokes. The difference is there are no endless greens or fancy drivers. Everything happens on compact courses, usually between 9 and 18 holes, where each one is its own little challenge.
You’ve got a putter, a ball, and a clear goal. But every hole throws something at you: a slope, a calculated rebound, a moving obstacle… or straight-up a trap that forces you to think more than you swing.
And that’s the beauty of it: it’s not about hitting harder, it’s about reading the surface, understanding how the ball will react, and keeping your cool after the third ridiculous bounce that makes zero sense.





Even though we associate it with summer plans, laughs, and casual dates, mini golf actually has some pretty interesting roots. Back in the early 20th century, golf was a pretty elite sport and not exactly accessible to everyone.
In the 1920s and 30s, especially in the U.S., smaller “urban-friendly” versions of golf started popping up. Cheaper to build, easier to access, and way more social. That’s where what we now call mini golf really started to take off.
During the Great Depression, these courses became a massive, low-cost form of entertainment. Thousands of improvised tracks popped up in cities like New York. It was affordable, social, and a perfect way to switch off for a while.
Then came the more creative versions — what many call “crazy golf”: courses packed with ridiculous obstacles, themed decorations, and that almost amusement-park vibe that still defines it today.

Mini golf has something special about it: it looks like a harmless game, but it actually brings out a lot in people.
It’s the classic first date plan. Chill enough to talk, but with just enough competition to reveal how someone really is: whether they get salty, laugh at themselves, celebrate too early… or completely fall apart after missing an easy shot.
Then there’s that friend who says “I’m not competitive”… and by the third hole is already calculating angles like they’re playing for the Masters.
And of course, that universal moment: the perfect shot, the ball bouncing exactly as planned… and stopping millimeters short of the hole. That silence. That look. That “you’ve got to be kidding me.”

The cool thing about mini golf is that it sits right between casual fun and actual skill. You can play with zero experience and have a great time, or you can get obsessed with angles, force, rebounds… and turn it into a mini mental battle.
That’s why it works so well: it’s accessible, fast, visual, and social. No training needed, no athletic shape required… just a bit of brains and a decent sense of humor.
Because at the end of the day, mini golf isn’t really about getting the ball in the hole. It’s about laughing when everything goes wrong… and enjoying those rare moments when everything goes exactly how you pictured it.

HYDRAULIC PRESS

I’m sure you’ve seen some of those videos circulating on social media where a hydraulic press crushes all kinds of objects. It’s a very simple format, yet incredibly hypnotic: place something under the machine and let the tons of pressure do the rest. Figures made of plasticine, bowling balls, tennis balls, metal pieces, or pretty much anything that can offer a little resistance before finally giving in to the force of the press.

Part of the appeal of those videos lies in the curiosity. Watching how different materials react, how they deform, how they hold on for a few seconds before collapsing. There’s something almost addictive about seeing that exact moment when the pressure wins and the object finally gives up. It’s a mix of expectation, tension, and that small visual satisfaction of watching something transform under a force it simply can’t resist.

Well, today I bring you a variation of that same idea. A version that keeps the concept of putting different objects up against a crushing force, but with an approach that’s quite a bit more entertaining than a standard industrial machine. Because sometimes you don’t need steel structures or tons of pressure to get the same effect… sometimes it’s enough to do it with a little more style, a hint of mischief, and a result that’s definitely a lot more fun to watch.
