DEVO Shirt Contest
For a very brief interruption to Renee’s awesome Doctor Who week, I wanted to mention that Woot is hosting a pretty rad DEVO band shirt contest right now! I’m partial to this Methane, Benzene, 1-Butane, Cyclohexane, DEVO design by dirtdirt, but there are dozens of cool entries to check out.
And the prizes are impressive, to say the least…
Our winning design will be hand-picked by DEVO themselves, with second place being chosen by our usual Derby voting and third place being selected by the editorial staff here at Shirt.Woot.
In addition to the usual Shirt.Woot payout, DEVO is upping the ante with fabulous prizes:
1st Place (as chosen by DEVO themselves)
- 2 tickets to a DEVO show of your choice in the upcoming Fall tour and a meet & greet with the band
- $1,000 spendin’ money (on top of the usual winning payout) courtesy of Shirt.Woot to help get you there and
back
- Signed DEVO merch
- Limited Edition 7-inch record
- Full DEVO discography on your choice of CD or vinyl
- One Jumpsuit, Energy Dome, and Glasses ensemble
Shirt entries have been closed but there’s still plenty of time to vote for your favorite, who will be the lucky second-place winner!
Alice Drink Me Bottle Opener
I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about Alice, so I thought I’d post an homage to Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. Flirtbuttons is selling this Alice Drink Me Bottle Opener in their etsy shop, and how appropriate! After all, how was Alice opening those bottles in the story?
Renee’s Top 3 Costumes
When we decided to each pick our top three Halloween costumes from the last two months, I knew I had a tough job ahead of me. We found so much pure gold this year, and it was really hard to choose just three, but I did my best. So without further adieu, my top three:
The Yip Yips by Tracy Lawson, they are sparkly, cute, and nostalgic! What more could you want? And if you’re going to be an adult in a Sesame Street costume, please, please, do not dress up as Elmo!
Two: Baby Elvis Costume! Seriously, at what other time has a kid so small rocked so much (I’m excluding toddlers with mohawks for this one)? CuriousFae did an awesome job on this one! (via craftster).
And last but not least: THE GORE! Halloween is historically about death and ghosts, and GORE, why else did I rent three horror movies to watch tonight? The Dissection Costume wins on the gore factor! To make it even cooler, jessicution didn’t go to the Halloween super store to pick this number up, it is all made from scratch, even the fake blood! Totally awesome! (via craftster).
Beetlejuice Sand Worm Mittens
My beau pointed out these Beetlejuice inspired mittens to me last night, and I just can’t get over them. Damn Your Eyes posted these Beetlejuice Sand Worm Mittens on craftster. She used another mitten pattern to start and then added these awesome Beetlejuice touches! Perfect if you want to keep your hands warm and costumed for Halloween.
Guitar Hero Scarf
So if you live anywhere near me, it isn’t scarf weather anymore. Not even close. But I’m sure somewhere in the midwest it’s still snowing, and I hear that Siberia is quite cold this time of year. Anyway, this blog isn’t always about functionality, is it? No. No it’s not, so when I saw this six foot long Guitar Hero Scarf featuring the actual riff from “Killer Queen“, I threw caution (and the weather) to the wind and decided to post it. Domestic Scientist posted this in two parts, a progress entry and the finished product. This is a rockin’ accessory.
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto Cross-stitch
Here’s a great piece from Miso Funky: a robot cross-stitched with the immmortal words of Styxx, Domo Arigato. She’ll even make it in the color of your choice.
