MST3K Cafe Press Roundup

Posted in clothing, geek, humor, products with tags , , , , on May 18, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I am a card-carrying Mystery Science Theater 3000 geek (I must be, to have started a club). Here are a few of my favorite MST3K creations on Cafe Press.

For the car:

When you’re on the go…

I love how they got the font correct:

And there were a number of items dedicated to one of my all time favorite characters: ZAP ROWSDOWER

And for the no-nonsense Rowsdower fans, we have the shirt, the sticker and the magnet.

My apologies to those who are unfamiliar with the show. I promise my next post will have more mass appeal (well, for my regular readers anyway).

Brain Bulb

Oh, how I love this energy efficient Brain Bulb from Solovyov Design.

I would very much like to have one of these in my home (and it would be rather fitting for my future office as well).

Celestial Serving Bowls

Posted in geek, home, products, science with tags , , , on April 28, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I’m a sucker for anything geeky or scientific for the home (not sure how well that meshes with my penchant for spooky things…in my mind, it’s seamless). These Celestial Serving Bowls would make a fine addition to the kitchen.

Just a few pre=Easter treats sitting on my desktop at the moment…

Ah, some evil bunny soap for the guest bathroom:

By Felipe Bedoya (I’ve never seen bunnies look this…high…but they appear to be enjoying their little party):

Aww…

So deadly…

Just tiptoe away.

Bunny is dressing up his taxidermy human again.

Clock-bellied…but kind of neat:

While we’re on the topic of bellies, why not fashion this bread bowl and let your guests scoop the creamy innards from a poor eviscerated rabbit?

Um…I guess that’s better than human innards adorned with some kind of rabbit bride ensemble.

I’m not sure if I’ve posted this…but it’s amazing.

I would love to see the creature casting this shadow.

Show offs:

As far as kitschy holiday jewelry goes, this may be the finest thing that plastic can offer:

No amount of novelty could make this a good cake idea. One of the best things about cake is that you never have to peel it or bite into bits of shell.

Speaking of cake, here’s one for all of your sheep-rabbit needs:

Now this I could use as a centerpiece:

Perfect felted Easter eggs! Does anyone know the artist?

Adorable black bunny from Violetpie who also does some sweet Halloween creations.

More to come…

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.

Alien Chopsticks

I rarely find myself eating with chopsticks, but these sets of Alien chopsticks make me want to start.

Target Halloween Clearance

Posted in halloween, home, products with tags , , on November 19, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

What’s that? It’s almost Thanksgiving and there’s no excuse to be thinking about Halloween? Nonsense! There’s always an excuse to think about Halloween.

I just discovered that Target still has some items on clearance for great prices. For example…

Beaded Pumpkin Coaster Set:

Beaded Spider Web Coaster Set

Skeleton Hand…dish/candle holder…thingy:

Bloody Wine Glasses:

And now for some pumpkins with a nice retro flare…

Pumpkin Dinner Plates:

They also come in Cereal Bowls:

Oh Halloween…I miss you…

Halloween Countdown: Odds and Ends Megapost

Posted in absurd, antiques, creatures, decoration, humor, monsters, nature, products, you can't handle the cute with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on October 30, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I’m sure many of you have already seen the zombie pumpkin spawn, but it’s truly amazing:

Perhaps I should start a “romance” tag for all the things I find endearing that would probably thoroughly put off most women (like Zombie Bon Bons):

This D.W. Frydendall Halloween Icon Portrait Show at Hyaena Gallery features one of my all time favorites…Hatbox Ghost (featured here and here)!

Check out my friend K.O.’s wonderful blog The Skeleton Key for Halloween goodies (great photos of her personal excursions and decor!).

Not Halloween related exactly, but monstrous…observe a hamster with a unique hoarding habit by CLICKING HERE.

And speaking of creatures, one of my favorite nature blogs, Real Monstrosities has a Halloween collection of natural spooky critters.

How about a wonderful collection of death (and life) masks?:

For the Hello Kitty fans out there, enjoy this little feline in the guise of your favorite monsters here:

A ridiculously cute spooky Russian doll garland, downloadable here.

Ugh…I guess at least this is preparing her for her teen years and adulthood when the only pre-made costume choices she’ll have will be slutty cop, slutty bumblebee, slutty nurse, slutty witch, slutty fairy…

More later or tomorrow!

Halloween Countdown: Grandinroad

Posted in automata, decoration, halloween, home, products, undead with tags , , , , , on October 28, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Here are a few of my favorite picks from Grandinroad’s Halloween Haven this season.

Skeleton hand wall mounts:

Or witch hands, if you prefer:

This tree is incredible:

I think it’s actually the flowers that are for sale, but I can’t take my eyes off the mummies:

Ah yes, here they are…

Skulls and tapers sold separately, but it’s a nice combo:

They also have life size animatronics and animatronic accessories. I’m actually partial to the crawling hands and dancing broomsticks:
