These Labyrinth Cosplay Photos Are Simply Amazing

No one had to kidnap a baby and threaten to turn it into a goblin just to get these two star-crossed lovers to fall in love. OK, yeah, maybe the plot of The Labyrinth isn't exactly romantic, but there's no denying that there is some real chemistry between this Jareth and Sarah. 

This lovely picture series was made to help promote Labyrinth Productions push their wonderful wedding services. Ad or not, it's a great cosplay series that truly capures the magic of this fantastic film.

Everything Needs to Be Put in Cone Form -Especially Pies

Taco Bell introuced nachos you can eat on the go, but for those who prefer sweets, the apple pie cone is a much better solution. Thanks to Dude Foods, you can enjoy your delicious baked dessert the same way you can enjoy your tasty sweet and sour chicken cone.

Sure, you might say, McDonald's apple pies are always easy to eat on the go, but let's be honest there's nothing cooler than food shaped like a cone and homemade apple pie will always taste infinately better than one from a fast food joint.

This Coffee Table is Puzzling and We Love It

It looks like a giant single-colored Rubik's Cube, but it's actually a coffee table. Not only that, but it's actually way more exciting than it looks. That's because the Puzzle Table is more than meets the eye.

The table can be taken apart into five pieces -four smaller ones and a larger center one. It can also be reassembled into different shapes to make it more of a sculpture and less of a table -of course, you'll have to practice the puzzle to get it back into its original cube shape.

If you like cool furniture, Homes and Hues has more great stuff you might enjoy like the Rocking Seat, this playfully happy furniture and the Podpad.


The Invisible Flower Vase

It looks like a vase and you can still keep your flowers watered, but you don't have to deal with storing a glass vase when you don't have flowers out. The Crown Vase, designed by Lambert Rainville, uses nothing more than a small plastic ring and the actual stems of flowers to hold up the bouquet, making the flowers really stand out as the center of attention.

If you want to make your vase match your bouquet or even your dinner plates, just switch out the color of plate you use to hold the water underneath.

If you like great decor ideas like this one, you really ought to visit Homes and Hues regularly.

The Crazy Cat Lady's Hotel

(Video Link)

Looks like this cat hotel needs to be booked in advance, but with amenities like "great climbing curtain" and "floating light circle," it's certainly earned the five diamond rating. Just wait until you hit their first-class restaurant that serves the finest fish and cream. And the night club, it's all the rage, but there is a bit of a nip problem there. 

Of course, I just want to stay there to meet the guests. They're very fuzzy and adorable and always polite.

Root Beer Pancakes Sound Fantastic

Root beer and pancakes might sound like an odd coupling, but when you think with the buttery, vanilla flavors of most pancakes, makes sense to throw in the sweet and savory flavors of root beer. Plus, like all batters, adding in something carbonated is bound to help the texture, making your pancakes lighter and fluffier than you've ever imagined. 

So how do you make root beer pancakes? Just head over to Fantastical Sharing and check out their simple recipe and you too can make delicious, fluffy root beer pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.

The Perfect Furniture for a Halloween Party

Last week on Homes and Hues, we showed you the happiest furniture on earth and this week it's time for something a little darker thanks to Vladi Rapaport's Skull Chair. This delightful illusion is made from fiber-reinforced polyester and even comes with a matching brain ottoman.

While some might think this design is only suitable for Halloween, those of us who love celebrating All Hallows Eve every day of the year, it really is a great centerpiece for any room. And, as the artist explains, it's a great way to reflect on mortality and remember how important it is to make the most out of our limited time on this planet.

Say Hello to the Worms of Your Nightmares

This isn't a photoshop. It's a picture of the giant gippsland, a worm that reaches up to nine feet in length don't worry, they don't usally grow longer than three feet long. Yeah, it's pretty much just alive for the sake of giving you nightmares.

The worm takes up to five years to mature and can actually live for a full decade. If you're screaming just looking at these photos, there is one thing that might make you feel a little better, the giant gippsland rarely comes to the surface during its entire life -though that does mean that if you visit Australia they're going to be hanging out, writhing under your feet. Well, you will probably actually hear the audible gurgles their bodies make as they slither underground.

Think of them next time you have a hard time sleeping, just think of these monster worms and then you'll be motivated to get up out of bed and go do something since you won't be sleeping any time soon anyway.
