Ann de Gersem's Chocolate Teapot Hat.

Posted by Alex in Fashion, Pictures on July 3, 2006 at 1:04 am

Ann de Gersem, the person who brought us the privacy skirt, er … "life dress", also made this teapot hat out of chocolate:

A pink chocolate teapot hat? Pistachio green chocolate teacups with fur and pink foil? Dark chocolate whiskey snifter crystal ashtray bling? Ann de Gersem, a Design Academy Eindhoven MFA student graduates today with a collection of chocolate objects she designed in collaboration with the autistic employees of a Belgian chocolate factory. De Gersem, who isn’t autistic, wondered if the way autistics think could serve as a departure from conventional design methodology. Could autistic thinking lead to a new form of authenticity in design?

There’s something weird in this series of photograph called "World" by Dutch photographer Ruud van Empel. Oh yeah, it shows creepy children in the woods and ponds!

Pirate Squirrel Poem.

Posted by Alex in Animal, Everything Else on July 3, 2006 at 1:02 am

PIRATE SKWERL
by skwerly scouts club

O pirate skwerl, o pirate skwerl,
Trying to take the great black pearl.
Musket fire all around,dead skwerls on the ground.
The pirate skwerls will fight for rum, rum, the lovely rum.
Pirate skwerl Prizm, will take a stand against the demon skwerl band.
Shooting left and right,the demon skwerls will stand to fight.
Prizm falls, Prizm dies, never again to see the blue sky.
Now the demon skwerls are using hooks,
Launching themselves to every nook.
Now the pirate skwerls send out their best,
Putting Chipper the Ripper to the test.
Chipper, slaying left and right, the demon skwerls have lost this fight.
Now the pirate skwerls break out the rum, WHOOZA,WHOOZA!

Jo Lawrence playfully placed photos of old Hollywood stars on these household cleaning brushes. (Is that Rita Hayworth in the center?)
