The Weekender

Your Future, the Playboy Mansion and Metal Booze

The Playboy Mansion Can Now Be Yours

See Yourself in 20 Years

Good news: we've seen the future, and you look the way you do now, only better. (We know, we know—who thought it was possible?) Anyway, just to make sure, though, you might want to take a gander at this site, which will take a photo of you and age it 20 years. Your move, Clooney.

Photography always benefits from something tiny, magnetic and rubber.
