Kids, and many adults, love plush and stuffed toys. That’s why there are so many options available: classic teddy bears, bunnies, hearts, cute animals, plush food, cthulhus, microbes, pee and poo, and even sushi for puppies. The Brazilian designer brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana also explore the huge universe of plus toys re-creating them in [...]

Mr Potato Head and his fellow Louis, the octopus
That’s my favourite cephalopod fellow of last week: Louis, the Giant Pacific Octopus. Louis, as any octopus, gets bored, and since the he isn’t on his natural habitat, the guys from the Blue Reef Aquarium found a way to keep him stimulated and busy. The 18 months old octopus won Mr. Potato Head from Christmas, [...]

The Stamp Collector’s Guide to the Galaxy
Stamps for sending a letter to outer space: The Stamp Collector’s Guide to the Galaxy. Ufology and philately share at least one thing: a passion for collecting, whether it be news clippings on unexplained cases or first day covers.

The Grim Reaper Cat
I grew up picturing death as the Grim Reaper, the skeletal figure carrying a large scythe. Even though I studied in catholic schools, I’ve never believed their philosophy that death is an angel of God and there is a better place after the death. Death is the end. I like the idea of reincarnation but [...]

Kentucky Ventriloquism Museum Photos
Sometimes I’m not sure why I blog some things. This is a good example: Terror Tour 2007, an appropriate name, is a set on Flickr with photos of Kentuck Ventriloquism Museum. That’s the kind of place I won’t visit in any occasion, never, ever. The set contains creepy images of ventriloquist dolls and dummies, but [...]

I totally agree with her and emphatasy that I didn’t won any of those plush Cthulhus yet. But her article isn’t about Cthullus, is about Cool Toys for Grownups: [...]

The Dayalets
The Dayalets are vitamin mascots, what I translate for scary human portraits made with food, cigars, objects and snacks. One more time the term “playing with food” fits like a glove, and this time moms have all the rights to say “don’t play with food”, if the result will be like that. If the images [...]

Hand-Painted Toilet Seats
There are some things that I don’t know in which category put them, like the Hand-Painted Toilet Seats by Tuesday Cohen is one of those. Weird or art? Tuesday Cohen began drawing and painting as a child, using oil on wood her style matured and she had her first show when she was 18 years [...]

The Top 10 Creepiest Fast Food Mascots
I’m not a fan of fast food. My weakness, and it’s not really a real one, are French fries, that is what makes me go to Mac Donald’s four times per year. It’s just a question of taste (or the absent of it) for me, nothing related with scary mascots, as The Top 10 Creepiest [...]
