or, if I had a punny speech impediment, “so tweet”…
A little bird vase from Joanna Mendocino. There’s lots of other way cool stuff on her site, but this little birdy wants to come live with me.
maybe someday little birdy… someday when there’s not a rampaging one year old in the house…

yes, it’s pee. And poop. As plush dolls. (yes, insert “plush” vs. “flush” pun here.)
because everyone needs these two things in stuffed form. Unless you happen to have a small child, and then you probably already have enough to go around.
don’t worry… they have t-shirts too! Can you imagine if you dressed your kid in this shirt, and then you went to the zoo and they got lost? And you were all beside yourself and trying to get people to help and you had to explain that your kid was wearing a shirt with CRAP on it?!
egads.

seriously, what could be better than a sock monkey, you ask?
A PUNK sock monkey!
“Not recommended for small children, because of their button eyes and safety pins.”
bwahahahahahaha!
hey! ho! let’s go!

I’m basically a hermit. We throw parties maybe, MAYBE once a year. If that. Seriously.
But this voodoo man toothpick holder makes me want to invite like 20 people over just so I can make hors d’oeuvres (didn’t even look up the spelling — thank you!) and have a rockin’ good excuse to buy this.
Awww, just buy it because you need a toothpick holder you say? Nah, I already have a Magic Bunny!

I am mesmerized by this tray by French Bull. Not only does it feel like I’m 7 again and am staring into the tv test pattern because I’ve stayed up too late on a Friday night, but it’s made of melamine. MELAMINE! Oh, how I love you melamine.
Only $18 and you’ll be melamine, all MINE!

I should love this monster plate set at Sparkability. They combine monsters and melamine… two of my very favorite things.
But I don’t love them. The monsters are too alien. Don’t get me wrong — I love aliens too — but I like my monsters and aliens seperate but equal, thanks. And I’m hating the style. I like simple, but these look like someone opened Illustrator for the first time, and made this with a tutorial.
I want melamine monster plates… I’m mentally drooling at the thought of it. I just don’t want these.
grrrrrr…

A thousand words? Well, sometimes it’s just two words. This picture came to me as part of a banner ad for Kartell lighting. I do like a lot of their lamps, but this didn’t seem to be expounding gloriously upon their exquisite lighting for the modern home and office. Nor did it do anything towards selling me that Phillipe Starck chair (yeah, him… can we talk over-rated designers sometime?).
All it said to me was “ass print.”
But you know the hilarious thing about all this? When I clicked on the link, it took me to a page of Kartell lighting. Yeah, not funny, BUT… the featured product on that page was Kartell plastic cleaner!
bwahahahahahhahaha!

Behold this — well, I don’t know what the hell it is. The ebay listing says “OOAK gothic mermaid fairy polymer reborn blonde doll.” What it really should say is, “One f-in Freaky Doll that Some Crazy Person Made.” How do we know she’s crazy? (yeah, how could it not be a she?) Because she thinks someone is going to pay her actual money, like we use in real life, to own it. Seriously?
Can you imagine having this in your house? Do you have children or pets? Do you like when they run screaming from a room or wake up terrorized by the unholy visions in their sleep? I could barely bring myself to post it on here… I might have to take it down after a day or two. We’ll see how things go.
The second-most alarming part of this (aside from the pictures) is that the seller has a reserve set at $100. A hundred freakin’ dollars! See? SEE? She is insane. The MOST alarming part is that there are two bids. Two bids?! Wot?!
Those bids had better be from her mom. But I’m telling my kids here and now — if they ever dream up something as freaky as this, they are on. their. own.

is this: I love, LOVE metal rulers. I have many. I do not love jewelry. I think I want to wear a piece, then about five minutes later, it annoys the hell out of me. This is my dilemma: a bracelet made from a metal ruler.
On the one hand, I want to wear it, thus telling the world, “Behold the beauty of this instrument of measure!” On the other hand, it’s still jewelry (as indestructible as it may be). What’s really weird, is that there is MORE jewelry there that I love. Earrings made of tiny levels or Phillips head screws, gear post earrings that look like tiny asterisks.
Plus, I’m quite sure this is exactly how Liz Taylor got started with her collection… and look at her now.

are “monster” and “haiku.” Which is exactly the reason I so want this book.
“Caught Creatures is the world’s finest Monster Haiku book,” begins the product description. The author says, “Though I wanted to make it for a kid, Caught Creatures isn’t strictly a kid’s book. It’s full of references to old americana; video games, chopper bikes, old guitars, and vintage lighting. Most kids won’t get it as much as their parents will… it’s a wink and a nod to Gen X.”
’nuff said… sold.
