FINGER GRILLS

I don't often post about products and the like, but for these, I needed to make an exception.

They're pretty basic gloves... with silver fingernails! (Almost like grills, for the fingers?!) Speaking of grills for the fingers, the designer also makes a similar set of fingernail overlays, in gold and silver, that are just plain COOL.  I haven't wanted a piece of contemporary jewelry this badly in a while.

SOMETHING MAD

I'm fond of the Geoffrey Bennison quote that I've got copied in the column to the right.  He was a proponent of the idea that one should always put "something mad on top of something very good, or something very good on top of something mad."

THIS IS DEFINITELY THE "MAD". It's out of control. What is it? It's a plaster cast serpent piggy bank (didn't even realize until I shot it), courtesy of a recent thrifting expedition. 

Don't laugh!!  Actually, feel free to...that was my first reaction.  But now, I think I quite like it. Something about it.

CINDERELLA 2.0

You might remember these.  Since then, the metaphorical clock struck midnight and back those crystals morphed into a chandelier!

Same shoes, new mood.  Surely, they're the tackiest things I've ever created.  A masterwork?  Gene Simmons would be proud.
