Haven't you always wanted your very own monster? Cleveland artist Len has started his second series of Monsters by Mail, and this time, the theme is "fictional monster movies." By the way, the image featured here is of the monster I ordered from him called "BloggerGirl." It rocks, and you can see it here. Order soon ... monster-making is only happening for a limited time.

We've all known those caustic people who love to make fun of hippies. If you're sick of patchoulli jokes and want to embrace your hippiness and display it to the world, consider the "Hippie Chicks" wall art from the Chicks on the Go series by artist Margaret Taylor, who hand-paints each stainless steel piece. Not the hippie type? Two other styles are available: Pickup Chicks and Topless Chicks. Each is between 12-16" in length and 7-10" in height. Buy all three and they might be enough to replace the celestial-print tapestry hanging on your living room wall. Hee hee.

It's Spring, and if you're stuck behind a desk or cubicle wall all day, it's hard to find time to get out and make your garden grow. Console yourself by adorning your desk with the Carnivorous Creations plant kit. It features over 10 varieties of carnivorous plants, including the Cobra Plant, Venus Fly Trap, Pitcher Plant, and Trumpet Plant. Grow them big enough to swallow your boss, then take some time off.

Yes, this contraption is technically intended for kids, but grown-ups take baths, too. Washing your hair in the tub isn't easy. How many times have you cracked your head on the faucet? This gadget attaches directly to the spout and tranforms the usual straight-line water flow into a sloping waterfall for all your rinsing needs. It also includes a bubble bath chamber with convenient dispenser button for when the suds run low. See it in action here.

Once upon a time, pinup girls and bath towels existed in separate worlds far, far away from each other, which is a shame, really. Thank goodness artist Kathy Steig has realized the imbalance in the universe and brought us this bath towel, which comes in either Devil Girl or Cat Girl styles. Your mother's always after you to get some decent linens, right? She should be careful what she wishes for.
$30 each. From Shana Logic.
No, not that kind of magic mushrooms. Are you kidding? SmartLassy does not want to end up in the pokey. These little trinkets are sparkly and festive and will brighten up any room. Hang them from the ceiling, wrap one around your rearview mirror, dress up the underside of some shelving, or tie a few to your dog's collar to give him or her that bling they've been craving. Wait. Nix that last one. I was just kidding about that, so please don't email me and yell about animal cruelty. KIDDING. They measure 2.5" in height, include a gold-colored loop for easy hang-upping, and are available in 6 happy colors. $2.25 plus shipping.
