YODELLING PICKLE

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO need it. Don't judge me.

What will I do with it? No idea. But I was a Girl Scout back in the day so I believe it's better to be prepared than to suddenly need a yodelling pickle and find that, thanks to poor planning, you have naught.

Chrysler Town & Country Black Jack

Not your momma's minivan. Unless yo' momma is really fricking cool.

______________________________
Chrysler Town & Country Black Jack review:
Designers:
Marc A Reisen, Designer – Product Design Office and Liz Glance, Senior Designer – Product Design Office

The Chrysler Town & Country Black Jack draws its inspiration from the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas - a dominant and enigmatic presence on the Strip. Massive, dark and simple in shape and design, the icon casts a shadow over the surrounding properties.

It sits on custom one-off 20-in. wheels with new bright finishes built by Alcoa Forged. They are tucked around a set of Brembo SRT brakes, matched with an adjusted ride height. Its stance is sophisticated, yet approachable. Covered in a custom Amber-Black Pearl paint, the hood features a ghosted "Black Jack" logo and pin stripe provided by Jim-Tech. Chrome accents complement the billet-style grill.

The exterior was designed to draw people to the stunning inside. LED lighting, provided by OSRAM-Sylvania Group, was crucial to the application of Las Vegas allure. To give it an "after hours lounge bar" setting and atmosphere of light and shade, the team created dual panoramic-style roof openings. After relocating the gas tank, light-sensitive "scintilla" provided by Sensitile was used. Constructed of 100 percent acrylic, Scintilla transforms the way in which the surface interacts with interior lighting. The scintilla actually illuminates the players` "field."

A leather- wrapped curved bench replaces the third-row seats. Providing "rat pack" and "rat rod" influence, the passenger seats are wrapped by Katzkin, and feature Vogl satin black leather, custom embroidery. Seat inserts feature perforated suede with silver backing and a suede headliner. The centered dealer`s seat required removal of the second-row pilot seats. The "black jack" table is constructed of light-weight carbon fiber. Creating seamless construction, it`s bolted to the translucent center mount that flows into the translucent floor. The adjustable lighting and table placement contribute to the players` comfort.

Azentec and KICKER brought a "bada bing" to the interior. The entertainment system features two KICKER Audio 10-in. L7 sub woofers tied to a 1250-watt amplifier. Two pairs of 6-in. speakers and a four-channel 700-4 amplifier provide the "boom" factor. The rear-mounted 37-in. LCD flat screen and two 7-in. overhead monitors are connected to three hidden overhead digital cameras so there are "eyes" on the dealer`s and players` hands. The Azentec head unit – the Atlas 1000 – serves as a high-powered laptop radio head unit. Windows XP provides adaptability and capability for wireless internet, Bluetooth, cell phone, navigation system and personal PC – putting the Black Jack on the forefront of in-car entertainment.

With QEK Integrated Fleet Services providing support during the Town & Country Black Jack build, this "slow roller" is sure to turn heads on the Strip.

DeLuxe Translucent Cutlery

First to recommend

Description

Before you gasp at the price, consider this: you might be able to find something similar for less. Use this for inspiration if nothing else.

OR, if you are like me, with enough time and/or cocktails while near a computer, you'll find an illogical way to justify it and buy it compulsively anyway.

These are just different. That's their schtick. Putting an unusual spin on an ordinary item rocks people's socks off. So you're not just buying forks and spoons- you're buying entertainment value and visual interest. Well, that's what I told myself last night anyway. Could have been the chocolate martini talking.

Wow. Cool. Wow.
__________________
You can draw attention to an event or promotion with cloudlike creations from Flogos, a new division of Snowmasters. Helium-injected biodegradable soap foam forced through a stencil by a generator results in high-flying designs that float thousands of feet into the sky—roughly one design every 15 seconds. Standard shapes (stars, triangles, circles) start at about $2,500 for eight hours. Custom designs are an additional $500. —Mark Mavrigian of BizBash

Flogos are designed to last for as long as their visual impact is needed. Specific formulations are available to provide a life expectancy of a few minutes to an hour or so. This also greatly depends on amospheric conditions such as wind direction and speed.

They can travel 20-30 miles and go as high as 20,000 thousand feet. They travel slow so they are very visible for a long time.

I just bought the gazing pendant. Yep. Just this second. That's how fast and hard I fell in love with this designer's work. Check out the site. It will speak better about her craft than I could at the moment. I'm too busy giving the picture of my new purchase little kisses. I looooove it.

Check out the artist's blog at http://midgesmind.blogspot.com/
Also, watch out for her Have a Heart Pendant to benefit the Susan B Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
