25 People With Terrible Fake Tans
So it’s starting to get really cold and legitimately winter-y, and our spider-senses tell us it’s time to start the winter rituals: bears hibernate, elderly New Yorkers migrate to Florida, and we all wear fake tans every day for about six months.
Seriously, it’s about the only way we’ve found to keep a happy face through [...]
The 35 Manliest Mustaches of All Time
You might say that we’ve been pretty heavily into facial hair lately, and that’s partially true, although we’ve been very exclusively dealing with beards. What about that other dominant genre of facial hair, the mustache, you might wonder.
Well, we haven’t forgotten about that–we actually prefer the mustache, truth be told–and we’re especially fond of the [...]
25 People With Bee Beards
Last week we looked at some art and crafty facial hair substitutes in the days leading up to Halloween, plotting the possibility of knitting beards for our own costume. This week we’re contemplating facial hair of a very different, decidedly more organic and unruly sort: the bee beard. Holytaco has assembled a a listicle of [...]
I Heart 30 Unusual Things
We don’t “heart” the “I Heart NY” shirt because, well, it’s just too popular. Wearing that shirt is like saying you love something that we all love, like air, it’s pointless. Still, whoever came up with the “I Heart ____” tee shirt template must be rolling in dough these days. Or maybe he or she [...]
14 Cool Bandage Designs
We always feel a little girlie wearing bandages, you know? It’s like a really childish sort of symbolic castration, which in a way is even more debilitating: not only are we injured and unable to conceal it, but we have to treat the wound with a really small and precious strip of adhesive (remember Nelly?).
Fortunately, [...]
15 Superheroes’ Halloween Costumes
We’re still working on a Halloween costume (yes, we always push this to the last minute), but we’re thinking the best way to go about the decision might be to see what the experts wear. By experts, of course, we mean people who wear costumes every day: superheroes.
As it happens, ComicsAlliance has just the listicle [...]
20 Really Fake Beards
As we plan our Halloween costume for this year we’re starting to think that maybe instead of doing a whole outfit, we might just choose one accessory that instantly redefines the rest of our wardrobe, making whatever we’re wearing a costume. At first we thought that a sword might be the best way to achieve [...]
12 Obscure Denim Inventions
Earlier this month (October 2) we celebrated National Denim Day by wearing nothing but clothes made of denim (even denim underwear, which you’ll find below). For Lee Jeans, who started the national day of celebration in 1996, it’s a day to raise money for breast cancer research, but for us it’s also a day to [...]
13 High-Tech Steampunk USB Flash Drives
Yesterday, while reading a couple of New York Times pieces about e-books–one about how users claim they read more now, and another about Barnes and Noble’s new model–we began to think that one way we might ease into the experience of using an e-reader would be to find one that’s retrofitted to look less sleek [...]
8 B-Boys Wearing Paper Bags
It’s been a little while since we featured a single-image list (the famous robot T-shirt design must have been the most recent, and of course the teddy bears in wagons were the first), but fashion photographer Leonard Gren’s shot of 8 B-Boys Wearing Paper Bags seemed like a good opportunity to break the dry spell.
