Dead Book Bags – Because Living Book Bags Run Away! Now this is just so cheeky and cute I had to share it with the world. Artist Tia Magic's storefront assures that 'All animals are DEAD because it's inhumane to strap a wriggling, wiggling pet to your back!' and if that isn't a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. When I was a kid it was cool to have the 'Disney' branded book bags or something similar but they only lasted you about a yeah before they were caked in mud and stained with fruit punch from that day you forgot to close the lid on your canteen.

Gore Couture Corsets – Horror and Gore-Inspired Corsets and Clothing There's a lot of corset makers in the indie fashion market right now. It seems like the last couple of years there has been a huge surge of new designers who have learned the craft of corsetry and to be honest, it's kind of saturating the market. Now I'm a huge lover of corsets, I think they're just delightful and wonderful and I'm pleased to see them seeing quite a strong revival, I'm just not pleased with the quality I'm seeing in the craftsmanship...

Ashley Eckstein launches 'Her Universe', a Star Wars clothing line for women Her Universe has just launched. What is it? A line of authentic, high quality merchandise for female Star Wars fans! Actress Ashely Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars The Clone Wars) began the clothing line when she couldn't find sci-fi themed clothes for chicks online or anywhere else! "I was disheartened by the lack of product," she says. "I was told to buy a men’s size 'small' because there weren’t enough women that would buy merchandise made specifically for them. How could that be? The number of female fans that share my love for this amazing universe is astonishing and, as I discovered, greatly under served."

A Goth Corset for ... Your Dog from The Ritzy Rover Your dog needs a corset. Just ask it.
This lovely and completely ridiculous Gothic red pleather corset is trimmed with cheap black lace and is available exclusively for four-legged canines (perhaps a lupine could fit one as well.) The Ritzy Rover Pet Boutique is available for lonely women and rich gay men everywhere who want their pooch to look as cool as they do when they go clubbing! The site's 'Romantic' corset is just one of many useless and completely asinine but fun apparel choices for Mr. Bojangles or Mrs. Bunny Fluffwhethington III, which includes camouflage skull hoodies, zebra chic nightgowns, and skull socks. But be careful, Puffwiggins might have to lose a few, as high fashion couture like this only comes in an unrealistic 32lb 'Large'.

Darling Dolls for the Dark at Heart - Nefer Kane Until recently I hadn’t thought that doll makers in the traditional sense still existed. The concept always drummed up imaginings of little 19th-century shops lined with countless porcelain dolls for little girls. I was sure there were some hobbyists out there that might make one now and then, but it wasn’t until I encountered Nefer Kane , doll maker, that I realised that it wasn’t so dead of a culture after all. I stumbled across her little shop quite by accident while looking for something completely different at the time but she side tracked me with her fascinating wares...

Ladies, lose weight! Eat a parasitic worm! Some savvy and brave women in Hong Kong are showing initiative that American women lack by swallowing parasitic worms, the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph reports. Side effects (just death) have not prevented these people from taking the first step towards health by inviting a worm that can grow up to 15 inches long (that's over a foot!) into their organs, to help with fast, effective weight-loss leading to an all-new you! And Chinese websites seem to be the only places you can grab these fast-acting, fat-burning, all-natural parasites...

Dark Revival - The Art and Fashions of Antoinette's Atelier Decadence, luxury and opulence. The aristocracy of the 18th-century really knew how to party and dressing up was one of the most important aspects of the culture at the time. If you didn’t look good you didn’t really have a future in society. Expensive gowns, elaborate jewellery and finely made accessories were key if you wanted to be somebody in France... well, at least until that revolution got started but hey, it was fun while it lasted. Even now, the image of Marie Antoinette is one of global renown and she remains an icon of wealth and fashion for the ages. The iconic image of the 18th-century woman is still one of familiarity today in movies and media long after the fall of high society all those years ago...

'Bayonetta' - Soft-Core Demon Slaying Adventure By Minerva Li
Hideki Kamiya, the guy responsible for creating my very first crush, Dante, from their series Devil May Cry, has recently come out with a much acclaimed new title called Bayonetta available on PS3 & X-Box 360. Now, I loved Devil May Cry, but this new title leaves me with some seriously mixed feelings.
Now, I love hot video game characters. I’m not one of those girls who gets upset that female game characters don’t always portray the most realistic image about us with their beach ball sized breasts and size 000 bodies. But there’s so much about Bayonetta that just doesn’t sit well with me...

Roadkill Stuffed Animals: Awesome Xmas gifts for sick F****s Check out this awesome roadkill stuffed animal.
UK designer Adam Arber designed a bunch of road kill stuffed animals called Squash Plush, including a racoon, a rabbit, a hedgehog, and a weasel – all with distinct tire treads covering them and with their guts spilling out and eyeballs popping. Yup, it's macabre, but very funny and exceptionally well crafted with materials that have all been approved by the UK's strict guidelines. The dead fuzzy guys are about a foot and a half long and each come in their own body bag.
