These past few months have been rough. First, I lost Mr. Marmar to PKD in October and now Miss Darcheen (half sibling to Mr. Marmar) has also passed away on January 11, 2013. She was a special soul. Ten years ago we learned that she suffered a spinal cord injury …

Artist Natalie Luder has designed beautiful, delicious scarf named “Fou Lard“. Basically it’s a BACON SCARF!! For $170, you can drape yourself in thinly sliced faux bacon all day, every day. This is some DELICATESSEN  sort of situation. That is one messed up movie that ranks high on my effed-up- foreign-film  list. Very …

Check out these cool photos by Austrian photographer Bela Borsordi. He has done campaigns for Puma, Selfridges, Target and Galeries Lafayette to name a few. I love the cardboard cutouts in the first few photos. Very cartoon-y. I love love to have big hair like in the second photo…. Borsordi has …

The Horror! Artist Angel Roy’s “Zombie Burlesque” series sure does look creepy. It’s burlesque ladies stripped down to their bones- literally. Beautiful , yet grotesque? I dunno, but I think Skeletor may have found his match. Check out this link for the before and afters and where to purchase a deck of …

Yesterday, I posted about the fabulous site called This is Why I’m Broke. Here are some more gems I found: Bang! Lamp– OMG! I would shoot the lamp all day. Old people have the Clapper, I would have this! So cool!! Princess Leia headphone Covers– You may already know I love Princess Leia …

Check out Korean designer Chloe Kim, a student at Central Saint Martins. This  collection was her senior show and I must say it is gorgeous! All the tulle, the pastels, all the ragged edges- it’s like a punk-rock ethereal fairy. I couldn’t find much on her online, but here’s a …

Designer Yui Tai of the London College of Fashion definitely was munching on marshmallows when designing this collection. I kinda like all the inflated, puffy silhouettes, especially the jacket in the last photos. It looks like you could be floating on a cloud wearing that or make you look like you wrapped …

As you may know, I friggin’ love BOWS! Lace, satin, velvet, vinyl, leather- if it’s in the shape of a bow, I love it. Anywho, Antwerp designer Niels Peeraer‘s spring 2013 collection is sprinkled with nude-colored leather bows on structured handbags, headpieces, necklaces and  rings- really beautiful stuff. You just have …

Artist Megan Bogonovich created these wacky porcelain figurines that are sure to make you do a double take. A kitty totem pole? YES, PLEASE! A Unicorn couple? YES, PLEASE! A fugly lady with a dozen legs? ERRRR, um…. Anywho, I love how these old lady trinkets have a cool, strange twist to them. …
