			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://imakemycase.case-mate.com/">Case-Mate </a></strong>has just rolled out a new series of Iphone cases called &#8220;I Make My Case&#8221; that literally lets you make your own iphone case using existing artists artwork.  If that sounds confusing let me break it down a bit for you.  So Case-Mate has just teamed up with some incredible artists such as Ray Frenden, Thomas Hooper, Anthony Yankovic and around 7 more artists to roll out some pretty cool customizable iphone case designs.</p>
<p>So here is how it works.  The site shows you examples of each artists style and work on an iphone case, this gives you a sense of what kind of style you are going to be able to achieve through customization.  So once you pick your favorite artist, mine was Ray Frenden, you will start with a completely blank iphone case.  You are then presented with a slew of different backgrounds to choose.  Once you choose your background for you case the fun really starts.  </p>
<p>You are then presented with a ton of different &#8220;elements&#8221; which are basically pieces created by that artist.  From there you pick your favorite elements and start pasting them on your case.  You can change both the size and rotation of your image which allows for limitless possibilities. </p>
<p>Last but not least if you are looking for even more customization you can use the &#8220;Tools&#8221; option which allows you to change colors, and add mirror and kaleidescope effects.  If you go through all those options and are still not satisfied with your case you can choose from 3 different premade designs by your favorite artist.</p>
<p>The cases will set you back $34.99 which is basically in the ballpark of what you would pay for a high quality plain iphone case.  The printing process actually embeds the ink into the case so that the design will not scratch or abrade with daily use.  </p>
<p>Overall I must say I am extremely impressed with concept and the price point of the case.  The only drawback I had was the ease of use of designing your case.  It was a bit more difficult than what I had hoped for and at times became a bit frustrating.  Once you place an &#8220;element&#8221; you really cant tweak it any further, which can definitely lead to aggravation.  The guys over at Case-Mate should really take a page out of <strong><a href="http://www.theblackaxe.com">The Black Axe&#8217;s </a></strong><strong><a href="http://www.getgrossedout.com">GetGrossedOut.com</a></strong> site.  Those guys really nailed the customization and design process with that site.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all send out mail whether it’s bills, birthday cards or anything else you can fit neatly into an envelope. Remember when your mom would have you lick the envelopes for her so she could close them? Remember<br />
how horrible that tasted?!?</p>
<p>Well, Justin and Dave the owners of the company J&#038;D’s have got you covered! Their slogan is “Everything should taste like bacon.” When they say everything, they truly mean it…even your envelopes should<br />
taste like tasty bacon! The product is called <strong>MMMVELOPES</strong>, and here is what they guys have to say about MMMVELOPES on their webpage:<strong> <a href="http://www.jdfoods.net">http://www.jdfoods.net</a></strong></p>
<p>“Technology has given us a lot lately. The car. TV. X-rays. The refrigerator. The Internet. Heck, we even cured polio. But what have our envelopes tasted like for the last 4,000 years? Armpit, that’s what. Really, people? If we can’t overcome this kind of minor technical challenge, it’s only a matter of time until some<br />
super-advanced race of aliens with lasers, spaceships and a delicious federal mail system comes down and colonizes the world. And nobody wants that (except for the aliens, of course). So, after thousands of<br />
years and kajillions of horrible tasting envelopes licked, we’re happy to report that J&#038;D’s <strong>Bacon-Flavored Mmmvelopes™</strong> are here to save the day. No longer will envelopes taste like the underside of your car. You can enjoy the taste of delicious bacon instead. That’s right, bacon. It’s not real bacon, mind you, so you won’t have to start storing your envelopes in the refrigerator. But it really does taste like bacon. Which is what you really wanted in the first place, isn’t it? And it only took us 4,000 years to get there. Eat that, alien<br />
invaders.”</p>
<p>I love the concept behind this product, as I am a fan of bacon myself! Who doesn’t love bacon? The envelopes have a bacon pattern on them and even come in packaging resembling that of a real package of bacon. At only $6.99 for a set of 25 envelopes, this is a great price for such an innovative product! My only advice is that they could also branch out and have envelopes without the bacon pattern on them so that there is a little bit more variety and choice.</p>
<p>Not only does J&#038;D’s make MMMVELOPES, but they also make a wide array of other bacon flavored products. They have everything from Bacon Salt, BaconPOP (bacon flavored popcorn!) as well as bacon flavored lip<br />
balm and Baconnaise. And not to worry, everything is Vegetarian/Vegan, MSG free and certified Kosher!</p>
<p>Check out all of the bacon flavored goodness that J&#038;D’s has to offer at:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across a product online the other day that I have never seen before and was quite in awe of it. Alan Kaufman is the inventor and founder of the <strong><a href="http://www.nubrella.com">Nubrella</a>.</strong></p>
<p>What is the Nubrella you may ask? The Nubrella is a domed umbrella that looks like a space-age helmet, but it has a few extra perks to it when compared to your traditional umbrella! One thing that is great is that it can’t be inverted; hence no wind gusts will attack you unexpectedly and ruin your umbrella. It also offers more coverage and protection from the elements; no pointy ends to poke people’s eyes out with and you can use it hand-free because there are shoulder straps to hold it securely in place. You will never again have to worry about trying to talk on your cell phone or hold your cup of coffee, now you can do both and more!</p>
<p>Here are the specs on the Nubrella:</p>
<p>-New aerodynamic oval design &#8211; Tested up to 50mph<br />
-State of the art clear Thermoplastic Polyurethane<br />
-Lightweight and strong aluminum alloy ribs<br />
-Extremely durable rip-stop waterproof nylon<br />
-Easy “pop” spring loaded opening and closing mechanism<br />
-Weighs just 2.6 lbs<br />
-Lightweight over the shoulder carrying case</p>
<p>-Adjustable shoulder straps</p>
<p>The Nubrella has been featured in various media outlets like MSNBC, ABC News and The Golf Channel; with press like this it is no wonder that all orders are currently on backorder! You can still put an order in though and they will contact you when the Nubrella is back in stock. The price for one of these spacey umbrellas is 49.99, which is a little steep for my tastes, especially for an umbrella. The concept is great, I just don’t know if I could go out in public wearing one of these!</p>
<p> Check out the Nubrella at:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“<strong>the</strong>. is the official marketplace for amusing and eclectic wares designed by <strong>the.</strong> team. Mihoko Ouchi and Sherwood Forlee make up the. team. They have short attention spans, which account for their inability to get past the definite article of a company name.”</p>
<p><strong>the.</strong> is a really interesting company. I recently came across some of their products online and was quite intrigued by them. My favorite product that they produce is their set of <a href="http://www.thinkofthe.com/products/lunch_bag.php"><strong>Anti-Theft Lunch Bags</strong></a>, never again will your lunch be swiped by a classmate or sneaky co-worker! Basically what you get are 25 plastic sandwich baggies (think Ziplocs) that have moldy green splotches all over them to make your food look…well…green and moldy! The price isn’t too terrible at 10 bucks for a set of 25 sandwich baggies.</p>
<p>I think I might have to pick up some of these myself! If you are interested in the. and their collection of products including their Anti-Theft Lunch Bags you can find them at: <strong><a href="http://www.thinkofthe.com">www.thinkofthe.com</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s just get this out of the way! I LOVE bacon, yes, yes, I know it&#8217;s terrible for you and I am sure the vegan crowd aren&#8217;t too pumped to hear about this, but what can I say!  So when the <strong><a href="http://www.tshirtbordello.com/p421/Bacon-Wallet/product_info.html">Bacon Wallet</a></strong> from <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=104218&#038;u=375505&#038;m=15156&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">T Shirt Bordello</a></strong> was pointed out to me by the guys over at <a href="http://www.zombie-head.com/"><strong><a href="http://www.zombie-head.com/">Zombie Head </a></strong>I knew I had to post about it.</p>
<p>So here are the specs:</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.tshirtbordello.com/p421/Bacon-Wallet/product_info.html">Bacon Wallet</a></strong> is fortunately not made out of bacon, but rather faux-leather and measures in at a roomy 4-1/4&#8243; x 3-3/4&#8243; giving you plenty of room for cash, cards and whatever else you may need to carry around.</p>
<p>The wallet retails for only $11.99 which is a steal in my book!  Perfect stocking stuffer for that bacon lover on your list!</p>
<p>Check out everything T Shirt Bordello has to offer <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=104218&#038;u=375505&#038;m=15156&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">HERE</a></strong></p>

<strong>Paper toys</strong> are a fun alternative to toys that you purchase in the store. The beauty of <strong>paper toys</strong> is that they’re basically free as long as you have access to a printer. I was big on printing and assembling them about two years ago and have since stopped, but I think that this toy has sparked my interest again! If you have seen the viral “Cool Cat” or “Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat” videos and have fallen in love with the musical feline, you might find this interactive toy to be a perfect addition to your desk space. </p>
<p>Created by <strong><a href="http://tubbypaws.blogspot.com/">Tubbypaws</a></strong>, this <strong>Keyboard Cat papercraft</strong> is fully functional. After assembling it, you can turn the crank and have its paws move up and down like it’s playing the keyboard! This paper toy has blown me away, and I will surely try to assemble it in the near future. Check out this <a href="http://tubbypaws.blogspot.com/2009/08/meow-again-its-time-for-papercraft.html">tubbypaws blog post</a> if you would like to download and assemble this toy yourself, and watch the video tutorial for step-by-step directions. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If that headline didn&#8217;t catch your attention I donut know what will!  Well a couple weeks back I was cruising a long some <a href="http://etsy.com">Etsy</a> shops and came across a store called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VulvaLoveLovely">VulvaLoveLovelys</a> &#8211; Feminist shop of handmade Vulva Love, and I was stopped dead in my tracks by what I saw, an entire store devoted to the womens female anatomy!  After getting over the initial surprise and shock factor and reading what the company was all about I came away extremely impressed by the shop and idea behind the shop.</p>
<p>To make a long story short, the owner of the shop was a self proclaimed &#8220;outcast&#8221; growing up and throughout high school, she felt as I am sure many young women do, that sex would somehow make her more popular and accepted among her peers.  Unfortunately she was wrong and overtime became ashamed of herself and her vagina.  It even became so bad for her that any thought of her vagina would result in a sick feeling in her stomach, feeling dirty, ashamed and useless.  This was until a friend of hers took her to see the show The Vagina Monologues.  It was this experience that helped her feel more confident and proud of who she was.  Looking for away to turn her past into something positive she started <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VulvaLoveLovely">VulvaLoveLovelys</a>.  The shop allowed her to express and celebrate herself and the female anatomy.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s absolutely incredible for someone to take something so negative in their life and turn it into something completely positive, especially when we are talking about something as taboo as a vagina.   Some of the shops items range from pendants, pillows, key chains and even vulva lip balm.  With over 327 satisfied customers the shop seems to be gaining popularity and a strong following.  While these products aren&#8217;t for the timid or meek; actually most of these products look about as real as possible; I can definitely see a home for them with many women.</p>
<p>You can check out the full line of products at: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VulvaLoveLovely">VulvaLoveLovelys</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think of soap, what first comes to mind? Perhaps bubbles, a nice smell and a clean feeling, or even bunnies and lambs or little flowers like the decorative soaps that your grandmother keeps in her bathroom. Spellbound Soapworks is not the maker of your grandmother’s decorative soaps! (But they do take custom orders and can make the cutesy stuff if requested.) This company specializes in bath and body products that are not for the faint of heart!  </p>
<p>A few items that caught my eye were some of the awesome glycerin novelty soaps that they produce. You can get everything from horror staples like a mini Jason mask, or Leatherface, and even Michael Meyers. (And did you know that the original Michael Meyers mask was created from a William Shatner mask from a Star Trek costume? I think that adds to the creepiness factor…) </p>
<p>Also check out the gross anatomy soaps of the human eyeball and the human heart; you can’t go wrong on Halloween with body parts! You can also suffice your craving for movie monsters by picking up a Creature of the Black Lagoon, Hellboy or even Nosferatu soap! Saving the best for last though I will have to say that Spellbound Soapworks’ version of ”soap on a rope” is quite awesome. Instead of just your traditional rope with said soap attached, they have put a new twist on an old classic, adding a noose for the rope! It’s simple, but clever!</p>
<p>Not only are the soaps very reasonably priced, from about 4 dollars to 7 dollars a soap, most of them can be custom scented as well! They also carry a wide array of bath and body products that range from 2 dollars to 10, from lip balms and glosses to body lotions and scrubs!</p>
<p>Spellbound Soapworks is located out of Indianapolis Indiana and is run by owner Maura and her sister Chris. Every bar of soap that comes out of Spellbound Soapworks is handmade, starting from the hand sculpted molds to the pouring and scenting of the soap, and some are even hand painted! They also attend conventions to show off their spooky soaps so check them out sometime if you are in the area! Just last weekend they attended the Flashback Week-End Convention in Rosemont, IL and they will also be at the Horror Hound Week-End in Cincinnati, OH from November 20th-22nd!</p>
<p>Check out all of the products at <a href="http://www.spellboundsoapworks.com/">www.spellboundsoapworks.com</a></p>
