Desktop Goodies 7/14

Alpha, much? (Reminds me of Max Power: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w3zdkmw2E4)

This book is just a blank page with a single word: DON’T.

Love this little man’s style…

Child “guidance,” toward the ever important world of trans fats.

Holy exploding cloaca! Who would brand their product this way?

“With victim.”

Yes, yes and yes.

Totally agreed.

Is it me, or do you feel a draft?

This story has all of my favorite things!

Answer to the age-old problem.

Put a bird in it.

Excellent grammar lesson.

Hope you are all feeling beautiful today.

Periodic Cookies

July 10th, 2013

Periodic Cookies makes two glorious sugar cookie designs that caught my eye. Atomic particles and lab goodies!

I think I’d rather decorate a Christmas tree with these than eat them. But they would be the perfect snack to bring to a party of geeks (thinking of you, Matt & Steph!).

Phrenology Diagrams: Vaught’s Practical Character Reader (1902)

July 9th, 2013

I made a Phrenology Megapost with all kinds of goodies a few years ago, but I’m back to bring you Vaught’s Practical Character Reader.

Preface:
The purpose of this book is to acquaint all with the elements of human nature and enable them to read these elements in all men, women and children in all countries. At least fifty thousand careful examinations have been made to prove the truthfulness of the nature and location of these elements. More than a million observations have been made to confirm the examinations. Therefore, it is given the world to be depended upon. Taken in its entirety it is absolutely reliable. Its facts can be completely demonstrated by all who will take the unprejudiced pains to do so. It is ready for use. It is practical. Use it.

Hm, I have thus far failed to “indelibly fix this shape” into my memories. Take note ladies, when looking for a husband, never consider a suitor whose head does not have this odd, malformed profile.

Far too many great images to choose from…

Phrenology Bike Helmet

June 23rd, 2013

This is my favorite bike helmet of all time (too bad I’m not a bike kinda gal due to illness).

The artist can even paint using a color pallet of your choice and a phrenology chart custom to your personality.

Mystery Organ Installation

June 10th, 2013

The Internet is a glorious tool, but some sites (I’m talking to you again, Tumblr and Pinterest) spread amazing images like the proverbial wildfire…without credit.

A Google image search on this still failed to turn up a creator, but I think it’s rather wonderful.

Does anyone know who made this?

Stephanie Henderson

June 5th, 2013

I love Stephanie Henderson’s remarkably vibrant take on classic Vanitas still life paintings.

Vivid rich colors draw the eye in, as oddities in decor make these paintings distinctly modern and mildly surreal.

Desktop Goodies 6/4

June 4th, 2013

Brains: it’s what’s for dinner.

And speaking of, who thought a grinning peanut grinding his own brain out onto a platter was…a great idea for a product? I envision a young Hannibal Lecter having a lovely time with this. Don’t get me wrong. I’d like one.

For the one time every few years that I need to physically remove a staple:

What actually happens when you have a toothache. Next time you are bothered, understand that it is just the worms, demons and ghosts acting up beneath your enamel.

Mid-century America presents NARCISSISM: THE DRESS.

I don’t. But I’ve heard the stories.

Ohhhhhh…so that’s how you get a man. You glue him down! I’ve been doing it wrong.

A real book; I kid you not:

When a man is asked what is perfectly irresistible I highly doubt “wool mantilla” is the first item that comes to mind (click picture to enlarge).

The quote that made my week (thanks, Casey):

God, is that you?

No wait, is that you, God?

Not like this.

I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”

The single best, or maybe worst, job in the world.

Now, this is some food I could eat. Does anyone have a copy of this?

Keep in mind they use the word “enjoy” in the broadest possible sense.

This fellow is very open minded…

And let that be a reminder to stay open-minded about the amorous preferences of others.
Mother Eagle Embroidery

May 1st, 2013

You won’t find me embroidering daisies and picnic baskets onto my linens. Mother Eagle is really more my style.

How gorgeous is this miniature silk ribcage on a handmade lace cotton panel?

All kinds of anatomical (and other) fine treats to be found in her collection of work…

She places some of her tiny pieces in jewelry as well.

Have a look…
