In concept, staging an art fair on a snazzy, $40 million dollar yacht that only Google’s Larry Page or Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud can afford seems like a grand idea. After all, who doesn’t want to rub shoulders with the rich and snooty while checking out artworks in…

Get ready to feel ashamed of your flabby arms, Twitterverse. Michelle Obama launched her own Twitter account this morning, promising to help tweeters across the globe “connect” with FLOTUS herself (and President Obama’s campaign, of course).This wasn’t the first tweet by the First Lady — in October, she sent out…

Andy Warhol once claimed, in the then-future, everyone would have 15 minutes of fame. Fast-forward to the post-internet, reality TV-fueled Twitterverse of the modern era and you’ll find he was basically right.
