Pubes? For Dinner? [NSFW]

Mmm... Yummy! Look, designer Ana Mir has created a dinner plate with pubes baked into it. This used to be on sale at the MOMA Store, but seems to have mysteriously disappeared. Weird! Well, what else does Mir have on the menu? Let's take a look:

Oh, yum, chocolate nipples. Thank you Ana Mir! What else do you have?

Edible toe candy? You shouldn't have. But Ana, forget about dinner. I'm renewing my vows, and my wife needs a dress. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Ana Mir! Check out the rest of her designs here.

Eye Patches: Not Just for Pirates

I've always thought I would look mad sexy with an eye patch, but those plastic ones I got at Party City just didn't live up to my expectations. Fortunately, designer eye patches do exist.

Unfortunately, they're all hideous.

Fortunately, sites such as Etsy sell much prettier ones:

Bad Timing for Sparklingly Conspicuous Consumption?

Steph Auteri — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:00:00 GMT

In a time when people are trading in their Hummer for Priuses, and their Neiman Marcus for T.J. Maxx, it seems appalling that high-end labels such as Louis Vuitton are bringing on even more bling. Case in point: LV's two new diamond cuts, resembling the LV brand itself.

These diamonds — the pointed flower and the rounded flower — have between 61 and 77 facets and have been set into various pieces of jewelry, including a necklace, which contains 108 carats and retails for $4 million.

Dude. If I had $4 million, I would pay off all of my student loan and credit card debt. sell off this damn condo, and buy a house. With lots of bookcases.

::sigh::
