Fashion You Can Eat! Wearable Foods By Sung Yeonju

Limor — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:19:24 +0000

Food and Fashion are my two favorite things! What’s there not to love? That’s why I think artist Sung Yeonju is a genius for creating the “Wearable Foods” series. In this project she created dresses only from foods such as fruits, vegetables, chicken and bread. The result is very cool and looks great!

The “Wearable Foods” Series by Sung Yeonju is the artist’s first long term project which she started two years ago and still continues to this day. According to Sung Yeonju website: “This series deals with the concept of creating images that interchange the actual reality and the made-up reality on many levels. This body of work is her version of the made-up reality, which destroys the core meaning of clothing, which is the ability to be worn…Yeonju’s spectacular images make you believe and desire her made-up reality”.

So here’s how it looks like… A dress made from Tomatoes, chewing gum and even… Chicken!

Museum Table Lamp is Functional Architecture

Christi — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:44:02 +0000

It does look like an abstract decorative object placed to enhance the appeal of a typical modern apartment. But it is in fact a Museum Table Lamp design, and the New York Times has called it ‘Functional Architecture for our night table’. I think it is a befitting title for this new age lamp.

This New Museum Table Lamp from Thinkofthe is a laser cut design made up of translucent white acrylic with a white fluorescent bulb inside. It is priced at $1200. I think the designer was inspired by the classic city view, with several tall skyscrapers and buildings in blocks through the bedroom window, to have come up with this innovative design for a night lamp. This new lamp will fit very well into the modern looking apartment in any city.

If you are interested in lamp designs then you should take a look at the New Turn On-Off Lamp and the Frosted Scroll Solar Lanterns.

Vintage Pac Man Shower Curtains To Lighten Up Your Bathroom

Dana — Mon, 06 May 2013 12:54:32 +0000

Shower curtains are practical, but they hardly ever depict awesome scenes every Gamer love and cherish. Well, brace yourselves for a new trend, The Pac Man Shower Curtains!

An artist who goes by the name of GreatfulThread on Etsy designed a shower curtain to “bring out the kid in all of us.” And truly, in today’s hectic pace, we need to be reminded of that. To be honest, I never knew I would find anything this interesting in the Bathroom Decor Section of Etsy’s handmade goods…

This genius creation is made from a vintage Pac Man bed sheet, with a coordinating set of towels on request. The Pac Man Bath Set comes lined with a cotton shower curtain liner so that the vintage bed sheet would not be damaged by the bathrooms dampness. It also makes it strong and sturdy. It has holes at the top for shower rings, making it easy to set up in the allocated shower area, and is washer and dryer safe. The Shower Curtain measures 73 inches high and 67 inches wide. The Pac Man shower curtain was added to etsy shop on the 22 August for $100 and only one curtain was listed, so hurry up and order it before someone else does!

A second Pac Man curtain was also spotted over on Hawtymcbloggy, but this set comes complete with a lined shower curtain, a pair of Pac Man hand towels and two terry cloth bath towels. The entire bathroom set was also hand made from vintage Pac Man bed sheets and for $145 USD the entire themed set can be yours. This is truly a bargain, considering the work that went into to, but also: It is Pac Man! The only drawback from owning a bathroom set like this is that you might use your shower time to play Pac Man on the back of curtain, instead of actual showering… That is, we will use our imagination and shower curtains to play Pac Man until such time when shower curtains are made of flexible, water proof LCD screens to make the entire personal hygiene routine so much more pleasurable. Either that, or just go for the cherry.

Pac Man is and always will be the ultimate game, and for other Pac Man related articles, why not read more about Pacman Scarves, the Pacman Mug or the Pacman Tie.

Ice Cream Ball

Amasch Qadri — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:15:21 +0000

Who doesn’t love ice cream!? Everyone does and that is exactly what makes this Ice Cream Ball so special. Remember those summer days when your kids go all crazy as soon as they spot an ice cream van? It might be exciting, but of course nobody wants to spend cash on something they can make at home.

In fact, making ice cream at home is more fun. And, if you want to take the initiative then this Ice Cream Ball is for you. The best part of all is when you can do all of this without any wires or sockets! Wouldn’t that be great fun? It sure would be…

This is one thing that will not only make the whole ice cream making process fun, but it will also make it easier. How does it work? It’s pretty simple – all you need to do is to put in all your ice cream ingredients in this ball with cram ice and play with the ball. Your ice cream will be ready in 20 minutes, and there you go! But of course, you need to take some precautions; you can’t play volleyball with it!

You will get perfect ice cream, but that depends on the ingredients you put in. If you are not good at making ice cream then I would suggest reading some recipes before opting for it. You don’t want to eat salty ice cream or ice cream that plainly doesn’t taste good, do you?

Here are some specifications of this ice cream ball:

- Never kick or drop the ball please

- Never use any metal spoon as it can scratch the container. Use wooden or plastic spoons.

- You get a recipe book, an instruction sheet, one opening tool, and of course, one ball in the package. The package is available for £24.99

How does it exactly work?

The functionality of this ball is based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which says that when two systems come in contact with each other their difference tend to even out. Now, when the cold ice comes in contact with the warmer cream mixture, the ice will start melting. It not only melts, but after some time it starts freezing again. In simple words, the ice melts, blends with the ingredients, and then, finally it freezes back giving you smoother ice cream!

We all know who the Disney princesses are. They are all so beautiful and I’m pretty sure we all remember how they look like. The princesses’ dresses are a large part of who they are. But just how correct are those period fashionable dresses? The talented illustrator Claire Hummel, reinterpreted Disney princess outfits through a more historically accurate lens. Take a look on the more accurate looks of the famous princesses.

In most cases, Disney did justice with the princesses and their wardrobe but in some cases the reality is quite different than the fairytale.

Snow-White

Snow white’s dress is based on early 16th century Germany.

Belle (Beauty and the beast)

Belle’s dress is based on the late 18th century, France.

Jasmine (Aladdin)

Jasmine’s outfit is based on rare drawings of pre-Islamic Middle Eastern fashion.

Cinderella

Cinderella’s dress is based on the Mid 1860′.

Pocahontas

Pocahontas’ look is based on 17th century Powhatan costume.

Aurora (The sleeping Beauty)

Aurora’s dress is based on the year 1485.

Tiana (Princess and the frog)
