Let’s face it. Tiffany-style stained glass lamps hasn’t been cool in over a decade. The style is a bit outdated and it doesn’t fit in most modern households. Well, what if someone made a stained glass lamp to look like Boba Fett’s iconic helmet from ‘Star Wars’? That someone is Michael McLane (AKA mclanememories on DeviantArt).
After several years away, I have a new project done to post. I have ventured back into working with stained glass. My father taught me how to work with the media a number of years ago and I have finally turned to working with it. This is the first post-worthy project I have completed. It is a desk lamp cut and assembled in the tiffany style. It is based off of the dimensions of the actual Boba Fett prop helmet and actually fits (if anyone wanted to wear it). I have not counted the number of pieces but the green crown has 200+ just in itself.
All I can say is “wow”. Would I be willing to have this in my house? Yes. Would I be willing to wear it while lit? Fuck yes! It’s just THAT cool. Amazing work Michael!

Isn’t it nice when you wake up in the morning, only to find that the newest daily offering from TeeFury is a really cool ‘Firefly’ shirt? Titled, “Browncoats Forever”, this awesome shirt was designed by freelance graphic designer/illustrator, “WinterArtwork” (@WinterArtwork) out of Barbados. I do love the concept of the “Wild West” merged with the “Browncoats”. Considering how awesome this shirt looks, I can definitely see Captain Mal sporting this tee on his adventures on board the Serenity. This epic tee is only available for 24 hours (April 25th, 2011) at TeeFury and if you miss it, you might be able to find it on sale at WinterArtwork’s redbubble page in the near future.

I do have to admit that these look pretty damn silly. The super heroines of comics has been well known to feature impossible body proportions that is not found in real life. So what do you do when you make costume themed pajamas for Marvel’s mightiest superheroines? Well, you get creative and design some of the most wacky pajamas I have ever seen. Spencer’s Gifts are currently offering five different pajama sets that include a tank top and shorts that are themed to the costumes of Emma Frost of the X-Men, Black Widow, American Dream (the female version of Captain America), Spider-Girl, and She-Hulk. I find it pretty odd that instead of just creating the top to look like the costume all around, the designer decided to just draw the signature big boobs and thin waist on the front of the shirt. Any open and blank areas are filled in with a themed background. I not sure about you, but even though these pictures are fun to look at, I’m am not sure what percentage of the general consumer fits these proportions. It’s a good idea, but terrible execution. I do like the Emma Frost pajamas though. You can pick these up at Spencer’s online shop for $24.99 each.

I’ll be honest. I’m not a t-shirt kind of guy. I love my solid colored short sleeved garage work shirts and if you ever meet me, you will know that I have closets full of them. However, once in a while, I am completely floored by a new tee that I can’t help but yank out my credit card and buy one on the spot. Unfortunately, I ran into this problem twice this week.
“Converse Death Star” – It’s a very simple idea that screams cool. I have been wearing Chuck Taylors for almost 20 years now and when I came across this tee merging the world of ‘Star Wars’ and Converse, I couldn’t resist. Cleverly designed by UK t-shirt designer, Paul Harckham (@robotrobotROBOT), this awesome tee is available on RedBubble for $23.94!
“Imperial Pin-Up” - One of the styles of art I have loved and followed is definitely pin-up. So when RIPT Apparel put out this awesome tee of a Imperial Stormtrooper pin-up girl tee, I was screaming at my computer like a little school girl. Designed by Thomas G. Sullivan Jr. (AKA deepspacemonkey), a graphic designer and art director out of Boston, this tee is available at RIPT for only $10 for only one day (April 6, 2011)! If you happened to miss out on the offer from RIPT, you can go to RedBubble and pick it up for $23.94.

I think that might be the cutest ‘Lord of the Ring’s tee I have ever seen. Hobbits are cute. Elves are cute. Even dwarves are somewhat cute. How about goblins, Ringwraiths, and Golem? I do admit that through out LOTR, I had to stop myself from throwing things at the screen whenever Golem came into the scene, but I do admit that ThinkGeek’s “Mordorable” tee does kind of makes me smile when I look at Golem’s goofy face. One of the best parts of the tee has to be the cute Ringwraiths flying next to smiling clouds. It doesn’t scream Modor, but its too cute to boot.
Talk about preciousssss!
One does not simply walk into Mordor. It’s best if one skips. Holding hands and singing showtunes, preferably. This shirt features a montage of all the cuteness that’s to be had when you visit Mordor. There’s little Gollum waving hello or goodbye or something to The One Ring. Isn’t it preciousssss? A big ol’ snuggledy battle troll waits patiently to give out “Free Hugs,” and an Uruk-hai says “o hai!” over his shoulder. In the distance, there’s Mount Doom with its explosion of lava (read: candy) and happy, puffy clouds of vog. Through the sky flies a friendly Nazgul on his Fell Beast (rawr!). The whole scene is watched over by the big, blinky eye of Sauron perched between the pinnacles of Barad-dûr. Face it. It’s Mordorable.
Ya lovely ladies can pick yours up at ThinkGeek for only $19.99! Sorry guys, these tees are made of the ladies so basically we are fucked.

Awesome! Pimp My Kicks is well known for their one-of-a-kind, made to order customize kicks. So its not surprising to think that someone would want some Pokemon sneakers.
These Pokemon Pikachu Custom Nike Dunk Sneakers are simply sick. We knew they were gonna look great but they simply came out looking so much better than we initially thought they would! You can call yourself a Pokemon trainer or you may try to “catch em all” but good luck catching these Custom Sneakers because we only made one pair and they are on their way to France!
I think my favorite part of the design has to be the electric bolts shooting through the Nike logo. The only think I would have a problem with is that one of Pikachu’s ears is missing and it’s kinda botherin’ me a little bit. Either way, I can totally see the appeal in these and sadden that there was only one ever made. Pimp My Kicks also does custom designs based on what you want so if you have an idea or a design in mind, they probably can get them made with ease.
Check out PMK’s website for more info and pictures of the Nike Dunk Pikachu sneakers!

‘Doctor Who’ is infamous for sexy ladies (ESPECIALLY AMY POND!) that the Doc keeps around as “companions”. So I figure this would be the best ring for the Doctor to give to his lovely ladies. Don’t ya think? Fashioned to look like the TARDIS police box, Etsy jeweler CsCharms of Montreal, Canada has these awesome rings available for sale. Made of tibetan silver (similar to pewter), the charm measures at one inch tall and features an adjustable ring band. Considering the quality of the ring, it’s a steal at less than $10USD. For those of you that don’t really like rings (unless its a Green Lantern power ring), CsCharms will have more jewelery available in the near future such as necklaces, cuff links, brooches, and earrings of the same TARDIS charm. I would buy ten of these rings for each of Karen Gillen’s (Amy Pond) lovely fingers. Did that just come off a bit creepy? sigh.
Where to buy: CcCharms Etsy shop
