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.

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:

Halloween Countdown: Party City Roundup

Posted in decoration, halloween, home, products, undead with tags , , , , on October 14, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

And now, some favorites from this year’s stock.

I like their whole “Be Very Afraid” line of decorations and tableware.

A few simple, classy black items might go well with…well, pretty much anything.

A special twist on drink umbrellas:

Check out this…wait for it…HANDelabra:

I must admit I swooned over these mini icing knives for cake/cupcake decorating like I was looking at a newborn baby. “Ooooh…so cute!”

Halloween Countdown: Monster Supplies

Posted in destinations, food, halloween, home, humor, products with tags , , , , , on October 7, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Most commercial Halloween products tend to lean toward the colorful, campy side. I love seeing *classy* products like the following.

From the Ministry of Stories:
Welcome to East London’s premier purveyor of everyday and bespoke goods for the living, dead and undead. We stock a pharmacopoeia of different types of fear, a complete range of edible human preserves and everyday household essentials like Fang Floss and Zombie Mints. So we invite clients old and new to come and discover why we’ve been the store of choice for discerning monsters for over two hundred years, and will be the same forevermore.

Dang it. These Celestial Buddies are just so cute.

Sun:

Mars:

They range from $19-30 (a little pricey if you ask me), but oh…the cuteness…

$300 Toothpaste Squeezer

Posted in absurd, products with tags , on September 17, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

I’ve actually referenced my personal toothpaste squeezing habits in reference to art AND products.

If you’re searching for the most expensive solution to the habit of squeezing the toothpaste from the middle of the tube like I do, look no further!

I feel like there must be a way to make an inexpensive version of this with a few items from Home Depot. Ideas?
