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

What a nifty little poster concept: Weapons of Mass Creation. Available in music, cooking and art supplies.

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…
Skeleton Hand…dish/candle holder…thingy:

And now for some pumpkins with a nice retro flare…
They also come in Cereal Bowls:

Oh Halloween…I miss you…

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!

Here are a few of my favorite picks from Grandinroad’s Halloween Haven this season.
Or witch hands, if you prefer:

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

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:

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!”

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.See more here.

Dang it. These Celestial Buddies are just so cute.
They range from $19-30 (a little pricey if you ask me), but oh…the cuteness…

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?

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).
