Instant Mustache!

I already have a mustache (a van dyke, to be accurate) that I've had for around 10 years now, but you never know when a mustache needs to appear completely without warning. First...Popstache:



Clip it on to your soda or water bottle, and with each sip you look a little more sophisticated than before. Make sure you keep it right side up, or else you might end up looking a bit strange; nobody has a handlebar goatee.

You might not be the one in need of mustaching, the solution of which is the mustache ring:



Give a mustache to anybody else, even if they already have a mustache. It's like the Green Lantern's power ring, but designed by Apple for simplicity and interactivity.

For $265 You Can Have A Black Boy Hold Your Mink Closed

OK, so it's a vintage enameled fur clip; does that make it any better? And why does he have dice? I wouldn't trust any gambler to hold my mink -- that might be why they're called "stoles".

You'd Have To Be Drunk To Wear 'Em

This is what I'd call a Holy Grail Kitsch Find: a vintage pair of "happy sloshed pipe cleaner men earrings". Dude, I know what we're making next Girl's Night... Because it probably helps to be tipsy to make 'em too.

Vinyl Kraftwerks

Hopefully you won't be melting any actual Kraftwerk vinyl (it's worth quite a bit more than this), but find yourself a Sing Along With Mitch and make yourself something pretty. I'm sure my daughter, who walks along the edge of Gothness in her fashion, wants to make some of these:



Making strips out of vinyl, bending them into a bracelet, and adding baubles is so very 1980s, ultra-retro. When we were messing around with melting records this summer, cutting them briefly crossed my mind, but apparently it's easier and more useful than I thought. But a paper-cutter? Ingenious! Metafilter has a bunch of other projects, quite a few more things than just bowls.

Keep Your Rings On A Slug

If you have difficulty keeping track of your rings, you can put them on a slug. (They call it a snail, but there's no shell.) I guess the story is that they won't wander off too far. I tried it once, but then my dog rubbed & slid its face along the slug (why do they do that?!) and my rings ended up all over the lawn.

Tinkerbell Pooping A Pearl

This has to be the most hilarious thing I've read today: Is it a cheap-looking gold necklace featuring what looks like Tinkerbell pooping a pearl? Surprisingly, yep, that's Disney.



The article, from The Onion's AV Club is all about identifying the horribly kitschy designs Disney uses in their products, so that there's no mistaking where you bought it from. The sad thing is, the Onion AV Club doesn't understand that pearls ARE actually fairy poop. They should take a science class once in a while.
