Will Smith on Willow’s hair

“We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.”

That’s a good man.

not to be negative, but this bootleg merry-go-round does not look that fun.

A Strange Merry-Go-Round For Shopping Carts

You’ve got to envy the job of French artist Florian Riviere: He goes around all day thinking of how to make the municipal landscape more fun.

Last this site checked in with him, he was rolling out carpets painted to resemble crosswalks, a pedestrian-safety product that you could carry around town on your shoulder. Now he’s turned his playful eye to grocery stores, or rather, an advertising column outside a store in Berlin that slowly revolves.

By hooking up a few shopping carts to the rotating pillar, Riviere created a carousel that kids can ride in. And they seem to enjoy it, too, although the merry-go-round moves at a slug’s pace.

This is the saddest-looking carousel in the world.

Okay, I think I’m dreaming. Picasso + Light drawings = two of my favorite things. So glad I found these. 

SO. COOL. See the photos on LIFE’s website here.
