Paint Your Cat... Unbelieveable!

Have you ever had the thought 'Gee, I bet that pussy would look so very cool in neon blue?' No?  Well, neither have we.  But this site shows us the error of our ways!

Paint your cat is full of, well, painted pussys!  Yep.  We can't imagine either of our boys letting us do this to them, but the world is full of less prissy type kitties, I guess.  Some are quite pretty all dolled up like french hookers.  The site is actually Hyd-Masti, which is filled with bunches of odd & fun little things to look at.  We just like the painted cats best. 

The page is really homage the book called (you can guess this, right?) WHY PAINT CATS by Burton Silver and Heather Busch.  Some of the pics look seriously photo-shopped but we are assured they are actually real painted cats.  The book is available via Amazon, if you'd like to see more than what is offered here.

Wish they would have included 'how-to' pics as well.... cause our kitties might like a change of 'do now & then, once they gave it a try!  But I guess we'll never know now... ::le sigh::

Barbie Diversification - Loanne Hizo Ostlie

Remember Barbie, the blond, blue-eyed, impossibly proportioned fashion icon?  Yeah, she's still out there and going strong.  We loved her as kids but often wondered why there wasn't more of a selection of barbies.  I mean, you grow up meeting lots of different people, with different skin tones, different languages, different hair, different clothes.

Loanee Hizo Ostile obviously had these same thoughts, at some point.  She is an incredibly talented artist and has a website here.  Taking generic barbies, she adds new hair, repaints the faces and/or bodies and dresses her creations in stunning clothing or costumes.  She then sells her creations on ebay and through other sources.

When you go to her website, click on the gallery link at the top of the page to view many of her past creations, including Harry Potter versions, the UPS guy, your local policeman, little babies and even families!  We couldn't find one that wasn't amazing!  They aren't cheap but hey are one-of-a-kind and would make a really special gift!  Go check them out!

Uncooked Greeting Cards

We don't really care for 'normal' type greeting cards (and we like e-cards even less!).  That's why we bring you the glorious site of Uncooked Greeting Cards.  Need a special card for that new guy that has your heart all a'flutter?  Uncooked has it.... and it won't be a frilly, sloppy, gushy sorta card either.  Have an Auntie that annoys the snot out of you - but you positively *must* send a holiday greeting or else your mother will harp on your ass for the next thousand years?  Uncooked has a great selection that will be quite suitable!  Take a gander and you will see!

Plush Sushi at Think Geek

Because sushi is just so associated with a diverse Thanksgiving, here ya go.  Think Geek is offering these cute sushi plushies for $9.99 each.  Tuna, Salmon Roe, Shrimp, Wasabi & Ginger.  I don't know if children will be so thrilled with these things but lots of corporate types will love them, I just know it. 


Think Geek offers a whole assortment of techo, geeky, wonderous stuff.  Gadgets, collectibles, toys for your cube - you can find it here.  They also have infectiously creepy microbe plushies too.  I couldn't find a 'swine flu' one, but I'm sure they're in production somewhere!

Sticker Frames from Land of Nod

Land of Nod is currently offering these awesome sticker frames for $24.95.  It's a set of 8 and we think they're just nifty.  Frame juniors art (or your own) right on the wall without nail holes that annoy the landlord (or dad), they're reusable and they won't damage tile. 

Land of Nod also offers other stickers too, awsome guitars and trees and brightly colored animals and flowers, along with lots of other nice stuffs like furniture and bedding for the younger crowd.  And they give you knock-knock joke on every product page too, which is added fun!  But we love these fabulous sticker frames!  And Christmas is coming.... *hint*
