Well this is just the best chilli sauce I have ever seen from Chris Fowler – it’s also insanely good. Strictly limited edition of course…

In 1957, Allen Ginsberg’s poem HOWL almost sent him to jail because it was considered “obscene.” Now it’s considered a piece of classic literature, prompting a movie and, of course, a promotional game. See where you come in on the obscenity scale, where pedophiles rank number one and no one thinks the word “Seaman” is funny.

Well at least I know someone is having a worse day than me – every cloud…
Of course the zero / zero Twitter bug last night freaked me right out!

Space invasion and scarily hyper-realistic creations from Jeremy Geddes‘. Weightless astronauts in all the wrong places are rocking my little sick bed world (via Life Lounge).

Bompas & Parr and art directors Emma Rios and Cecilia Carey have created a Jules Verne adventure where sugar crystals are exploded to an architectural scale. Silver Spoon sugar is used to create a crystal cave that imagines the visitor has been shrunk to the size of a standard grain of table sugar (0.3-0.5mm), a size at which the sugar crystals themselves can be seen. It is hoped the fully immersive environment will encourage visitors to be creative with Silver Spoon sugar in the kitchen and visit Baking Mad, an online community with hundreds of delicious recipes. Kitchen experts offer top tips and take the stress out of baking. The work of designers Tour da Force, House of Flora, Sveda Mutlu and Aase is pedestaled by the sugar formations.

…well it’s not so much today as ‘hair friday’. These images below are taken from the website of the awesome Kim who is making some hair pieces for the Eat Your Heart Out photoshoot on Friday (yes that explains the crash diet and incoming total lack of confidence). That said I have never done a photoshoot with the awesome Jellymongers before so getting really excited about the day – Bompas & ‘Party’ bring it on!

So I walked out of the office today to find a Love Me, Live With Me stand outside the door (exactly where the paps were for Victoria Beckham the other day but I digress). Out of context recalling this experience would make it seem like a dream but it was in fact very real.
The stand was there promoting the arts in the North East, the project is all about “Interesting Things Designed and Made By Clever People”. You take your object home, live with it, decide if you love it then write about your experience on their blog before passing it onto someone. I have got this taxidermy (fake) mouse head ring which I am so wearing for the Eat Your Heart Out photoshoot on Friday. It’s called an ‘Eek Ring’ – it looks really real and is totally freaking me out!!! Have already decided that Alix Fox has got to be the next owner of this bad boy too!..
Janet AllisonSweet and petite or ghastly and grim, these tufty little mousekins are sure to grab attention and split opinions. These taxidermy inspired trophies combine the repellent ideas of infestation and contamination with a playful wearable design. Each critter is completely individual and one-of-a-kind, brought to life with sparkling Swarovski crystal eyes.
Here are some of the other objects you get to choose from too:
