Its finally warm enough for the rec group to go outside for a bit, and about
time we do something other than the "stupid mall." I secretly enjoy fishing
the balls out of the water hazards... this is the first catch of the year.

I've always had a crush on Jack Osbourne, especially during that phase when he was a chubby mess. Now he's all grown, toned, and back on TV with the family. This time, the dysfunction is in the form of a variety show called "Osbournes Reloaded," and from the looks of it, might be worth watching. The show premieres tonight at 9pm on Fox, right after Idol. When Jack's all bearded, he looks a bit like Teen Wolf don't you think? It's good to see Ozzie up and at 'em too...

via - Pitchfork I was turned onto Thunderheist when Brodie  (Huw's Furry Loverboy) dropped me a few tracks... I love sexy-mess-quasi-ghetto-chic MC/songtresses and Isis is that girl. Isis may be the Thunder, but the Heist is DJ GrahamZilla who steals the ground from under your feet with his sweet electro grooves. Thunderheist's debut self title drops like right fucking now, so go get it [cd, mp3, vinyl]

I know that dogs may be great to cuddle up with, but cats are a hell of a
lot softer. And if you manage to snag a codependant kitteh, you'll have all
the feline snugglin you could ever ask for. #snap

If you come to Club Marcella, and I take your video whilst you be pole dancing, its either:

1. because you are hot, and I'd like to put you on the screen and do fancy effects with you...
2. because you are mildy hot, but you hove around alot and have flashy things on you that would look good if i applied a lot of special effects...
3. You are a hot mess and I'm gonna blog about you on Monday.

My favorite pants company evar, Bonobos, just put out a little promo video explaining where pants came from and why their pants rule. You should totally watch the whole thing (in HD, duh); at the end is a coupon code for a discount on your first sweet pair.

There is a new DIY platform in town, and its a MUTT. I first read about the MUTT last year, but didn't give it a whole lot of thought until my buddy Yosiell sent me a photo of his Monster Hunter custom (read on). The MUTT consists of a simple boxy design, made of PVC, and looks rather like a squatty dog with no face.

I think the new platform is bombass. There is so much potential for creation and you aren't limited to an existing form that you have to work around (like the Munny, Dunny, or BUD, etc.)...

MUTT - what separates MUTT from the rest is that MUTT is designed specially for toy customizers and artists. this is not another blank D.I.Y. version of a production toy... this is a 3D canvas just waiting for accessories/sculpt/paint/and anything else you can throw at it!

And accesories! The MUTT has over a dozen attachments available, and instead of hunting around for blind boxes with the parts you need, you can purchase ears, arms, noses, sunglasses, and more right from the MUTTstore. If the standard MUTT isn't right for you, then you can buy a bank... whats cooler than a custom toy to hold your custom toy fund savings? And if that isn't what you're looking for, the Monster Hunter will cure all your ills...

The above awesomeness was created by my buddy Yosiell from Project Detonate. The Monster Hunter is a variation of the MUTT, stuffed and mounted on a PVC plaque... Not many designer toys that you can hang on the wall; this is the perfect DIY for designers and collectors without a lot of shelf space.

Old Man Winter was created as part of a show for Planet Comic Con in Kansas City Saturday March 28th and Sunday March 29th. Other artists doing Monster Hunters (these are the premiere custom designs) are Tyler (who owns the MUTT platform), Monster Decay, Matt Sharp, and Trenton.  Monster Hunter will ship on the 28th of March, and you can order one now from the MUTTstore for $29.99. Everyone should definitely check out Project Detonate. Yosiell is priming to blow up as a killar customizer; he already does amazing paintings its only natural he move to toys... He was recently featured in ToyCyte's CustoMonday with a set of Yeti Dunny's and there are only 3 left... get one for $50. Its soo worth it. MUTT, MUTTstore, MUTTSpace, MUTTshow Project Detonate

Every now and again this HBdJ alum pops up at the downtown stop. I'm sure
he's gay; I've caught his timid glances once or twice. And his shoes, that I
unfortunately didn't get in the frame, are quite queerly scalloped. But I
won't talk to him... I'm afraid that any high pitched noises that are bound
to emanate from his lips will surely spoil his appeal. Its the shoes, that's
how you tell a sassy bottom. #snap

The scrollwheel skid to a stop on this one as I was browsing through the Uncrate feed. I have this perseverant (say: per-seh-ver-ent) phrase of late and its "I'll punch you in your face." Mostly, I say (and do) it to my cat Skylar, but I've been slipping it out as a term of endearment when talking to John. Printed on American Apparel Sustainable Edition shirts, and put sold by Little Paper Planes, "Haymaker" puts me in a punchy mood. I wanna wrastle... Get yours (or mine "M" size kthxbai) for $24 bucks.. comes in bear and chaser sizes. via Rumplo via Uncrate
