He continued: “You might die… and you probably won t have good food and all these things. It’s an arduous and dangerous journey where you may not come back alive, but it’s a glorious adventure. Sounds appealing. Mars is the place. That’s the ad, that’s the ad for Mars.”
With applications to take part in a journey to the Red Planet open to the public, Musk said: “I mean, honestly, a bunch of people probably will die in the beginning,” he said. “It‘s tough sledding over there, you know? … We don‘t want to make anyone go, so… Volunteers only.”
Each person was then tested two weeks after the concert. Although six participants reportedly tested positive for the virus, four of them were “infected elsewhere”. Speaking at a press conference, Dr Josep Maria Llibre said: “There is no sign that any transmission took place during the event, which was the aim of this study.”
Another live music event was held in Barcelona in December, when Primavera Sound invited over 1,000 people to attend a gig without social distancing. The concert was declared a success in January when no infection rate was found. Germany also held three experimental coronavirus concerts in August last year, all of which yielded positive results.
When it comes to the Tabi boot, there is no in-between: you’re either a die-hard, head-over-heels fan, or you contemptuously turn away the moment you spot a pair of the distinctive cloven-hoofed style. From the moment Martin Margiela sent them trotting down the runway for SS89, opinions have been as sharply divided down the middle as the toes that slip inside them. But all jokes aside – the resale price of the iconic boots has been skyrocketing across the course of the last few years, and hunting for an affordable pair has become an art form in itself.
For everyone who lacks the time and dedication to seek them out, gave up on getting lucky, or is otherwise too afraid to check their account balance, there is another answer out there. Non-wearable but equally (and brilliantly) odd is the Tabi-shaped ceramic vase. First unleashed on the world at the end of summer 2020, the unlikely objet d’art is the brainchild of Idea Generale and now comes in a vast number of colourways and

Last night, at the 93rd Academy Awards, Daniel Kaluuya won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Black Panthers leader Fred Hampton in
Judas and the Black Messiah. The actor went on to make an impassioned acceptance speech, during which he thanked his parents for having sex and creating him.
As his speech was coming to a close, Kaluuya expressed his gratitude for life. “You got to celebrate life, man,” he told the crowd. “We’re breathing, we’re walking, it’s incredible. Like, it’s incredible, my mum met my dad… they had sex. It’s amazing. You understand, I’m here. I’m so happy to be alive, so I’m going to celebrate that tonight.”
One of the few attendees really bringing it to the red carpet was Zendaya, which we’ve basically come to expect by now. Dripping in sunshine yellow Valentino Haute Couture (unsurprising, given she’s currently the face of the house), the
Euphoria star was truly, and as per usual, a sight for sore eyes as she made her way into the venue. Joining her in looking extremely fab was Angela Bassett, who arrived in an all-red ensemble. Fresh out of the Alberta Ferretti atelier, the whole thing was finished with some socially-distancing appropriate puff sleeves.
Also slipping into a bit of Valentino HC was Carey Mulligan, who seemingly drew inspiration from the gongs themselves in a gold bandeau and huge, sweeping skirt. Finishing off the look was a bunch of Cartier jewellery, including a ring that supposedly took 350 hours to make. But then, if you can’t wear a ring that took 350 hours to make to the Oscars, when can you?
