And to make up for lost time...

What's up with that dude with
the tiny leather shorts on his head?I see him around all the time in my neighborhood. I just assumed he had found or made this ridiculous looking headpiece for his 'fro to stick out of. But no, they are actually child size pleather shorts he is parading around in public with, and somebody has already written an article about it, entitled "Worst Hair in Williamsburg".

And then there's this: The Boyfriend Pillow.
Too bad this doesn't come with a penis.

And as of December of last year, there is now the new "Girlfriend Pillow", which literally consists of a plush female lap. You are welcome in advance for the great gift ideas.

Copycat

Oh, and can someone also please tell me what's up with Opening Ceremony's online store using cats as models? I mean I'm totally into it, I just wanted to know who's hand/paw I needed to shake!

Uni-corn Holders

I mean, the product name says it all. Corn on the cobb? Colorful decapitated unicorn heads? One big beautiful pun? Could there be anything better? YUM!

Faux Toes

How did I not know about these babies before? These Comme des Garcons gold, toe printed oxfords mesh my foot/shoe fetishes in perfect harmony.

They also come in black and white...

Or moccasin style...

I love anything that is so ugly it's cute.
Like bulldogs. And little old ladies. And beautifully crafted shoes with toes doodled on them.

And then there are these...

The first time I saw these in public I thought the person who was attached to them standing in our local coffee shop was out and about in the freezing weather with no shoes on. Because before such encounter, I was only aware that toe socks existed, certainly not toe shoes. I was pretty convinced this grown man was standing in front of me with only a thin layer of cotton covering each of his appendages. So of course I inquired about his public toe sock logic. He then informed me that they were in fact actual practical shoes on his feet. I then proceeded to laugh uncontrollably for ten minutes and carry on about how great they would be for climbing trees. Although, other than channeling our inner limb swinging primates, I really don't understand these five phalanged friends.

Except that they are fucking hilarious to run into.

BUTT WHY

Apparently the latest fad in Japan is wearing a faux assless skirt.
Basically painting (a probably nicer version of) what one's clothing is meant to be hiding. Makes perfect sense, right?
You can get just about whatever style you want too:
Floral, lace, thongs, wedgies, granny-panties, hell, even falling off!
They are even appropriate work attire apparently!
I just can't wait to for this trend to hit the the U.S.
I wonder if car accidents have peaked since this cheeky trend, what with all the double-takes and all...

A special thanks goes out to my father who e-mailed me such a gem of information!

Naughty or Nice?

INAPPROPRIATE? OR THE NEW FESTIVE COUGAR X-MAS SWEATER?

Goodness gracious, who posed this shot? Just look at her face... It totally looks like she's about to get molested by Santa again, but knows she can do nothing about it because, duh, it's SANTA. Yeah, go ahead, get Santa thrown in jail. RUIN CHRISTMAS FOR EVERY LITTLE BOY AND GIRL IN THE WORLD. She knows she has to take one for the team. Womp, womp.
