Move Over Hallmark

Looking for some unusual greeting cards that are so very un-Hallmark? The good folks at Supermarket have some ideas for you:

This little gem is by designer Portnerness from Los Angeles...though that pee puddle looks a bit like worms or noodles and non-liquidy to me.

Now THAT is a baby shower card that I can agree with. I like Porterness' sense of humor.

This card by Cracked Designs speaks for itself...yum!

And for those of you who think sending stuff in the mail is SO 1995 (kinda like paying for your groceries with a check...hello people, use a CHECK CARD..it's the same thing!!) ....sorry, I digress.....you definitely need to check out Someecards.com. They have the best e-greetings around - snarky, ironic, deadpan...you get the drift. Have a great long holiday weekend everyone!!

Jell-o, Part 2

As you might know, Jell-o is quite versatile as I mentioned in an earlier post.
And I found out about a Jell-o mold competition that was recently held in Brooklyn. Check out the grand prize winners' gelatin jewels and gum paste settings...very well executed bling!


Watch out McDonald's...this hamburger & fries looks more appetizing to me than a Happy Meal.


Caviar on a budget! And apparently it tasted like it, too.

.

Have a nice weekend ya'll!

Ghetto Fab Nail Art

I'm not surprised that there is a TON of wacky nail art out there - making your run of the mill French manicure look super duper boring...but wow:

Carmen Miranda would kill for this one! And frankly, I kinda want these for myself.

This gives me the munchies.

I love googly eyes - but this is the first time I've seen them on a manicure!!

This crazy unicorn orgy is probably just for show, but I admire and respect all of the painstaking work to achieve those tiny little creatures...

Hair Art

I was researching vintage hairstyles for my upcoming wedding reception...and found these lovely dos. I truly think these styles are works of art...

No need to worry about your ears gettin' chilly with this built in earmuff do....

Feeling short? Become a good 6 inches taller with this freakish side sweeping style....

Ah..the classic flip, with a dookie shaped hair accessory and two pounds of hair products. I'm having a really hard time deciding which style I want! :p

It's Nice to Meat You

My friend Michael alerted me to the fact that you can get business cards made of meat from Meatcards.com...say what!?:



Yup..using lasers, they will print up whatever yo' heart desires on jerky... And if you're ever stranded and need sustainance, you'll be ready. This is certainly one way to make a memorable first impression, no?

Touch Me, It's Velvet

At one of my favorite bars in San Francisco, Casanova, the walls are covered with lots of velvet paintings of semi-nude ladies with unnaturally prominent nipples. I suspect many of these were procured on Ebay, as I found some pretty awesome ones for sale...


What the hell is up with this buxom brunette's beehive/pig-tail combo?! It's like her stylist couldn't decide if she should look like a 2nd grader or Lisa-Marie Presley. Her left boob appears a full cup size larger than her right and is errantly travelling toward her armpit....



Now this sexy chica has measurements of something like 40-22-46 with the looks of that unusually bubbly back end. You could stack books on that shelf of an ass!

For those of you who would prefer to gaze at some hunky man meat, this Bruce Lee portrait is for you! Just imagine what he could do with those long, hard nunchuks...



Looking for something more, um, cheerful to up on your walls? Then this pair of happy smiley baby eating clowns are for you! Perfect for your child's bedroom, no?



Oh ok, clowns are not your thing, I understand- I'm sure you'd rather have a portrait of a "A Modern American Media Martyr & American Tabloid Hero" ...yes, that's Joe the Plumber, DUH...what other Modern American Media Martyr were you thinking of?!?
