Not content with waiting for it to pass by on the conveyor belt and ingest it, women in Japan are now wearing sushi all the time.
Sushi nail art is a thing in Japan… just sit in front of your nail lady and request the makicure.

If you’re looking for the perfect cereal couture, you should be holding on to one of these clutch handbags that are made to look like vintage cereal boxes.
Brought to us by English designer Anya Hindmarch, the cereal box clutches are part of her new Imperial collection. They’re to be featured at Hindmarch’s new Mini-Mart, which hopes to bring “luxury to the not-so-luxurious world of mini-mart products.”
The “luxury” part comes in the form of the packaging graphics printed on python skin, and accented with suede lining and gold closures. They’re GRRREAT!!

If you like to play with your food, and you’re all about the label, we have just the photo series for you.
FabFood, by Linus Morales, helps give a few food items a major upgrade, by simply applying the logo of high-end fashion brands.

Candy Crush — the game that you probably just looked away from to read this article — is getting creative with advertising.
Apparently, extreme nails are a popular form of advertising in Japan — so Candy Crush recruited a known human billboard named Harutamu, and gave her a candy-laden set of nails.
Although, it doesn’t appear that Candy Crush needs any more advertising than what shows up unwarranted in your Facebook feed. Either way, you can go back to playing now, and thanks for listening.
