Bling Thing

Plain gold chains and diamond medallions are definitely out. If you want to be taken seriously as a rapper, you have to take your bling to the next level. It’s not just the size that counts with bling, it’s also the creativity and realism of the objects depicted.

Finger Murals

If you really love something and want to see it everyday, most people get a tattoo.Which, if you’re going to spend so much time on it, makes more sense to me than these elaborate nail murals. We’ve posted about crazy fingernail artwork before, but these sets are downright insane.

(LEGO) Brick House

One man is building the dream, or at least wild fantasy, of many children.  James May, a toy fanatic, is constructing a two-story house out of LEGO bricks.
