Desktop Goodies

Although I’m largely opposed to the idea of food in pill form (since eating is one of the finest pleasures in life), this is a pretty fine looking meal tray:

Love the movie…love this piece by Teetering Bulb.

Yeah, this is how most of my days start too…

Oh model in your lovely spine dress, I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave…

Great photograph by Helen Warner:

ACTION JEANS! My ACTION SWEATPANTS actually have some of the same properties. Gotta be prepared if a fight breaks out while I’m scouring the Internet for art and reading science books in my room.

With the sheer proliferation of puns in this text, it must be self-aware, right?

On a related note, I’ve posted about vintage parade floats before, but here’s a new favorite:

Skullball Machine!

Speaking of skulls…

I’m not sure what it says about me that I put this image in my “Valentine” folder:

Paint just gets EVERYWHERE…

And while we’re on the subject of art, leave it to Regretsy to design this handy measurement tool for the less desirable side of some artistic personalities:

I’m not a camper, but I want this tent! Makes me want to venture out into the wilderness (which may or may not mean my own backyard).

And I’ll finish off with the desktop dose of confusion; trading cards seen on Agence Eureka.

Mmmm…steak in a can. That’s the good stuff.

Desktop Goodies 1/23

Posted in absurd, advertising, art, comics, creatures, dolls, fashion, humor, introvert, meat, robots, science, sculpture, vintage, you can't handle the cute with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 23, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

This has come up in about 5 of the blogs I typically follow…so Cyborg Gorbachev is really asking to be posted.

If I were a few inches tall, this would be my preferred mode of transportation.

Amazing doll concept by Ali Gulec:

These life-like Beavis and Butt-Head statues having been making the Internet rounds as well. Wonderful job crafting a photorealistic and rather horrifying vision of these two, Kevin Kirkpatrick. See a few more shots here.

Why I love being an introvert:

On a related note, I think this would make great club wear for introverts. It really sends the right message if one is not in the mood for human interaction: Come one step closer and I will BITE you!

Finally, the trendy luxury toward which I harbor an extreme distaste finds a home in serial killer apparel. THIS, I like.

I’m with you, Neil!

Fatal Attraction had NOTHING on this:

Bear with me for a moment of extreme adorableness…

And speaking of cats, take a look at what I always pretty much assumed would be my own future (everybody knows it’s not official until facebook says so…this is the real deal):

Ohhhh-kay, so I’ll admit that I only envision myself in a relationship with one or two cats. I’m about quality, not quantity.

Now we come to the portion of this blog post where I try to avoid making a pun about something being “fishy” here…

Usually at least one of my Desktop Goodies will launch me into utter confusion. Today’s baffling example (caption, anyone?):

…and by “Projection Equipment” they mean her brassiere:

Ladies, I’ll leave you with this romantic gift idea: raw meat.

Joseph Aaron Segal (Pretty Snake)

Posted in clothing, craft, fashion with tags , , on December 10, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I saw one of Joseph Aaron Segal’s cat sweaters ages ago and always wondered where it came from.

This is one attention grabbing sweater. They come in many colors and styles.

And check out the T-shirt:

If you want something a little more subtle you could go with a single kitty cardigan.

Or a tote bag…

A rather unique offering: woodcut witch leggings:

Bergdof Goodman: Carnival of the Animals

Posted in christmas, fashion, installations with tags , , on November 27, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I decided to do a little google image odyssey for holiday window displays in NYC, since some of them tend to be very elaborate and fantastical. I came across the Carnival of the Animals series at Bergdof Goodman.

Each window features a specific material that depicts animals you’ll find from icebergs to the tropics—but rarely on Fifth Avenue.

Now, even for those like myself who have pretty much NO interest in highbrow fashion, the outstanding artistry in these window displays trumps many of the gallery installations I’ve seen.

I do hope to walk by in person before they disappear on January 15th so I may immerse myself in each tableau up close.

See some extra closeups and a few snippets of info here.

Take Back Halloween!

Posted in fashion, halloween with tags , on November 1, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

It’s not Halloween anymore, but I must call attention to this site I saw on The Art of Darkness.

Take Back Halloween is a self-proclaimed “costume guide for women with imagination.” I adore costumes that rally against the idea that women MUST use Halloween as an excuse to flaunt their sexuality.

Not sure what else to be because stores ONLY stock inane sexy costumes? Try a scientist! A mythical woman! A goddess!

Persephone:

Work those brains, girls!

Alexander Wang Starbucks Shirt

Posted in absurd, clothing, fashion with tags , , on September 23, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Oh come on. Really. I wasn’t even aware that Starbucks had “limited edition” shirt designs. But now you can spend a whopping $85 to sport a giant coffee stain and know that this generous expense will solely benefit the chain itself (there are only about five Starbucks per block these days, so clearly the company needs a boost).

Even the model looks embarrassed and miserable.

Coloron Pro Instant Eyeshadow

Posted in fashion, halloween, makeup, products with tags , , , on September 3, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I probably should have picked up some eyeshadow skills over the years (or at least had them seep into me by osmosis at the goth/industrial/punk/metal shows I went to when I was younger). But I rarely use the stuff and I’m clueless about it.

Coloron Pro Instant Eyeshadow takes the work out of it with these stick on eyeshadow ovals.

They come in regular colors, but I think the patterns are more worth the cost. I’d love to try one of these for a Halloween party or special event.

Something about this idea reminded me of Homer Simpson’s makeup gun (Coloron has a sure advantage in precision).

Gold and Diamond Embedded Contact Lenses

Posted in absurd, fashion, jewelry, medicine with tags , , , on August 19, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Oh humans…how you entertain me with your adornments. I do recall rumors about Acuvue’s diamond contact lens a while back:

Though I never heard any follow up information. Now we have La SER Eye Jewelry. Decadent? Perhaps. But creator Dr. Chandrashekhar Chawan not only donates treatments to those in need with every pair of contacts purchased, but never denies treatment to those unable to afford eye care.

A tad extreme for everyday wear (and I was once a goth), but perfect to craft a glittering undead or lavish android look.

For the happy couple…

Alexander McQueen: Alien Shoes

Posted in fashion, sci-fi with tags , on August 1, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I rarely have the slightest interest in or awareness of what’s going on in the world of high fashion, but I make brief and rare exceptions to enjoy the anatomical and sci-fi inspired designs of Alexander McQueen.

For example, these Giger-esque Alien shoes:

I know, these are SO last season. They come in a variety of colors (I don’t understand why blue and white would be among them). In my opinion nothing beats the classic “metal” pictured above, save for maybe a glossy black version, more true to Alien form.

I would also like to accessorize with the previously mentioned Alien Pez Dispenser.
