Pooping Chihuahua Turns Red. The Good Puppy Table Lamp Now Comes In Ferrari Red.

About 10 months ago I introduced you to the defecating dog lamps by UK artist Whathisname. Now he has created a Ferrari red version of The Good Puppy Table Lamp, a pooping Chihuahua whose turd is actually the on/off switch.

Step on the poo to turn the lamp on or off:

The bow is now magnetic and you can take it off anytime:

Please Kill Me. The Latest Menswear Collection From Sibling of London.

A collaboration between Joe Bates, Sid Bryan and Cozette McCreery, SIBLING is a brand based in London which launched in 2008 born out of a desire to give knitwear for men a good old fashioned shake-up with cartoon ka-pows of color and bams of very English humor. Their latest collection, PLEASE KILL ME, is nothing short of outrageous - intentionally, of course.

While one can't discount the technical skill in the oversized knits, the A/W 2013 Menswear collection is a little Dumb Donald meets Fair Isle meets Mickey Mouse. Furry long shorts, mufflers and mittens on steroids, colored leopard prints and knit hats that belong on Fat Albert's gang are paired with sockless converse shoes.

While I commend them for creating fashions inspired by art, music and culture as opposed to concentrating on commercial wear, these pieces are simply ridonk.

Here are all 16 looks in the collection as they walked down the runway at London Fashion Week:

Rest On Breasts. The Velvet Bikini Cushion.

Every once in awhile I come across something so bizarre, I simply have to blog about it. This is one of those times.

Got a boob man (or woman) in your life? This just might be the perfect gift for them.

The Velvet Bikini Cushion by Olleh ('Hello' backwards as well as a Korean catchphrase) has three dimensional soft fluffy filled breasts clad in a blue, orange or purple leopard printed bikini top. The bikini top is actually removable and yes, the velvet breasts have 3D nipples.

Face up, you can rest your head between two mountainous breasts, sitting upright or reclining:

Lie on it face down and you can feel it up, god forbid.. suck on it or motorboat- your call.

Good for road trips too!

The one really good thing about it? The breasts won't sag over time.
