- Needed: One-Legged Woman Who Wants Machine Gun Replacement Leg
Yeah….believe it: One-eyed film maker Rob Spence’s EyeBorg project involves putting a wireless video camera into his eye socket. Now he’s advertising for a one-legged woman who wants a machine-gun prosthetic, a la Grindhouse‘s Cherry Darling. Strange, but I like this guy. Crazy cyberpunk video camera eyeball aside, this Rob’s got character out the wazzoo. [...]

- Magnificent Strange: The Rod Serling Action Figure
As a toy collector I can’t even see straight I’m so jazzed about this wee Rod Serling. He even has a cig between his fingers. Those were the days….Chain smoking and parallel universes.

- The Delightful Doll Report: Pullip Doll Ddalgi
clipped from pullipstyle.com I’m slowly falling head over heals in love with Pullip dolls. Oh I definitely spent about 4 years telling myself I didn’t care about them, but I’m pretty sure that was all just crazy talk.

- The Building Made of Books: Art and Literature Taken to a New Level

- MGMT – Electric Feel Video
This song is growing on me. Maybe its the oddball disco vibe, some musical radioactivity from being born in 1978…or maybe I’m just nutty and that’s ok…..
