Stay dry and be an egg with the Egg Poncho. Not only will the poncho help you stay dry on rainy days, it will also keep you sunny side up until the actual sun decides to come out again. Bacon galoshes not included, but should be.

The cake rubs the lotion all over… The Slice of The Lambs Cake is brought to us by Annabel de Vetten of Conjurer’s Kitchen, and made to look like the skin dress created by Buffalo Bill from The Silence of The Lambs.
Even if Buffalo Bill and Hannibal Lecter gave you nightmares for weeks after you saw the movie, the craftsmanship and pure awesomeness of this cake cannot be denied. Now put the lotion in the basket!!!
Remember the hours days at a time you’d spend playing Tetris? Now, when not actually playing, the falling blocks and colors can be enjoyed every morning with the Tetris Heat Changing Mug.
Just add a hot beverage and watch those addictive little square blocks appear. Then you can spend the rest of the morning wondering what the appeal of this game ever was.

Sausage In Art is a clever and very meaty project by photographer Karsten Wegener, designer Silke Baltruschat and food stylist Raik Holst. The series, which recreates famous works of art, does it using the medium of deli meats.
Whether it’s Koon’s “Balloon Dog” rendered in hot dog, or Hirst’s dot series replaced with rows of pork-based cold cuts — the series will give you a new appreciation of modern art. Just pass the mustard.
