As if the upcoming weekend wasn't enough to smile about, check out this Beat-Boxing Basset Hound!
Turns out this was an ad for Tele2, a Swedish telecommunications company. Control your own Beat Boxing Basset Hound at www.beatbox.tele2.se and prepare to crack as grin or two as you make your hound the next Biz Markie.
The always awesometastic Gallery 1988 LA will be having a special weekend engagement opening tonight, Friday the 13th (GASP!), featuring LA artist Brandi Milne's upcoming book "So Good For Little Bunnies!"
G1988 says:
In addition to viewing and buying the actual artwork, you can also pre-order the "So Good For Little Bunnies" book exclusively at Gallery 1988, and get an original drawing inspired by the book directly from the artist! The book is only $20 and you'll be the first to have it!
The show will only run through the weekend, closing on Sunday, so make sure not to miss it.
Keeping with my previous post about cereal, comes another breakfast mashup, where this time cereal meets street. Kellogg's, the company behind character-driven breakfast cereal mainstays, joins street clothing company Under The Hood for a new collaborated line they're hoping will leave fans of both scenes clamoring, "They're Grrrreat!"
Kellogg's famous characters are all here, from Frosted Flake's Tony the Tiger, the jolly Rice Krispies trio Snap, Crackle and Pop, Honey Smacks' Dig'Em the Frog, Corn Flakes' Cornelius Rooster, and finally Toucan Sam of Froot Loops fame. All your favorite cereal mascots jump out of the box and land emblazoned in outlined patterns over shirts, jeans, hoodies, and track jackets. You can check out all the styles at Under The Hood's online store.
The brands definitely acknowledge that the strange combination of the two flavors is definitely a taste that'll split the masses between those that "Dig'Em" while others will feel soggy. In full compliance with that thought, check out the models' faces:
On the other hand we've seen every cartoon character from Fat Albert to Bugs Bunny on clothing, but Kellogg's/Under The Hood's line seems much more out there and therefore giving it a much bigger "WTF/Awesome" factor to the mix!
So whether you think its the most absurd thing that has happened to the urban clothing waves or perhaps the most genius, one thing is for sure:
Nothing spells out BOLD better than rocking out an outfit that says, "Follow Your Nose" while pointing to Toucan Sam's rainbow snout splattered over your ass cheeks!!
Personally, I know I NEED this Honey Smacks Track jacket IN MY LIFE to rock with my Reebok Voltron ERS Racer Green Lion 3 kicks:
NOW that would be a mashup-mashup!

First there was the "Dead Serious" skeleton hoody, then came "Friday the 47th" with a Jason hockey mask. Now LRG blows the house down with another crazy hoodie for those wolves out there: "the Huff & Puff!"
Where the previous hoodies covered the wearer's full face, this open-faced hood demands attention as it places its wearer as the Big Bad Wolf or flips the script for the sheep that wants to wear wolf's clothing. Best worn those nights you want to howl at the moon or when you want to hunt down those Little Red Riding Hoods.
You can devour the Huff and Puff Hoodie (or the other way around) at L-R-G.com
From Dream Essentials come Warm Whiskers Eye Pillows, freezable/heatable eye pillows that look like sleeping animals and smell like, chamomile. The "Comforting friends with a calming scent" are must haves for anybody and everybody who likes sleep AND animals (and plain silliness)!
What better way to enter dreamland than with an animal curled up over your eyes?!
The Warm Whiskers Herbal Neck Wraps aren't too shabby in the strange but awesome department either.
Warm 'em up and they'll give off the soothing scents of buckwheat and lavender (almost like the real things?). They're freezable and microwavable (not advisable for the real things).
Excuse me as I write an apology e-mail to the ASPCA.
