When it comes to phone accessories, I usually get sucked in by all things super kawaii. But I couldn't resist going a little bit evil when I came across these devil skins for my Blackberry. Not only are they some serious silicone eye candy, they're also cheap as shit at $3.99. (They also have winged angel skins for those of you who prefer to walk the righteous path. Although, you might want to get one of each depending on your mood.) And don't worry i-friends. They have them for your i-phones too ;)

While I concede that a middle-aged man cross dressing as a little girl is stranger than fiction, artist Grayson Perry's tapestry work is even more unbelievable than his Holly Hobby dresses. The Walthamstow Tapestry, his latest larger-than-life masterpiece, is described by Grayson as "a sensitive depiction of the journey through life." And what a life that must be, given the tapestry's river of blood, which links a graphic childbirth scene with eventual death. In all actuality, this piece is Grayson's response to modern consumerism (which explains why there are brand names like "Lancome" and "Topshop" peppered throughout the imagery.) It's truly such an amazing piece of artwork, one could easily get lost in its glorious detail. So, grab a rope people. I'm going in!

Most of you will agree that "The Graduate" gave us more than Dustin Hoffman's coming-of-age tryst with with a much older married woman. It also set the stage for what can best described as "cougar hair" (something Stacy London has successfully been sporting for years on TLC's "What Not to Wear.") Light gray or bleached out chunks of hair framing the face to combine a sultry "come hither" look with "don't bother carding me for beer and cigarettes" attitude. Kate Moss has recently jumped on the cougar hair bandwagon -- albeit, rather unsuccessfully -- and several exaggerated interpretations of the look have been spotted on Paris Fashion week runways.

So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, in all your old-enough-to-be-his-mother glory. (Hey, does this mean I can finally stop covering my grays? Or is this just another trend that's going to fizzle out before my next color appointment?)

Just as I was ready to write off all toilet brushes as icky, this Clean as a Whistle Bathroom Brush appears out of nowhere. Amazing how perching a bird on what is essentially a poop scraper can turn a chore into a moment of zen. Now I'm just waiting for the matching plunger complete with an owl sticking his head out of the hole. (Okay, maybe that's a stretch. But somebody needs to figure out how to make plungers less grotesque.)

Before you bust out in song to the tune of "Barbie Girl," take a deep breath and count to eleven. This, my friends, is no Barbie Girl car. (Seriously, those are the last two words anyone on the planet would use to describe me.) Instead, it is the embodiment of the perfect shade of punk rock pink nail polish, not to mention the only shade of pink I will be caught dead wearing. [For those of you who took me seriously, you can stop holding your breath now.] *Ack* Now I need to figure out how to get my hands on one of these!!

For ages, I've had my heart set on a custom pink SmartCar -- until now, that is. This fully customizable Fiat 500 Pink just went on sale in Europe and is currently available exclusively online. The 1.2 litre superstar comes complete with punk trim, an intense pink center dashboard and stylish leather gear knob (in pink, of course). And to launch the Pink, those creative geniuses at Fiat hired David Sheath, 28, to paint a brand new white Fiat 500 using 131 bottle of pink nail polish. See it for yourself here.
