Mr. Clean [wiki] by any other name is one heck of a global cleaning product. Did you know that although most people think the guy is a genie (because of the bald head and the earring), the real Mr. Clean was supposed to be a sailor?

I didn’t realize that LEGO sculpture was a competitive sport, able to be won utterly and without challenge, but apparently I was wrong.

Lately I’ve been intrigued and excited by the amount of anatomical products out there, from t-shirts to tiny anatomical model toys. Yes kids, anatomy is cool.

Now, thanks to another one of my readers, I’ve been pointed to Paraphernalia, a little studio in Manchester, UK producing handmade anatomical necklaces. The owner, Ms. Vanda, makes each necklace using vintage illustrations, printed and cut plastic, and silver-plated chains. The whole idea and the illustrations are fantastic!

The Anatomica collection features old anatomical drawings and woodcuts of a variety of organs and body parts. It was our first collection! Currently part of the collection are a Heart (pictured), a Brain, a Skull, a Cochlea, a Molar, and a Ribcage.

Her website is just lovely and she also has a variety of other necklaces available. Be sure to have a look!

‘Pillowig’ is hand made wearable pillow comforting trieness of people in daily lives, enabling users to sleep comfortably whenever and whenever they’d like. When user test is done in public spaces - subway, airplane, library, class room and laundromat, viewers commented: ‘I would like to have it for my trip.’, ‘Very funny.’ ‘This is practical, but a laugh, too.’ I made 50 limited editions and sold 47 pieces at the exhibition of the work and gained ‘Pillowig’ fans. Two months later fans did a group performance piece at the Old Palace, Seoul.

Bucknasty, indagatore dell’incubo e blogger di rango, mi segnala il VIDEOGIOCO DI LUCIGNOLO. Cioè, dico: IL VIDEOGIOCO DI LUCIGNOLO.

‘Il protagonista è un giornalista d’assalto a cui viene presentata una possibilità per emergere nel mondo dell’informazione: dovrà entrare nell’intrigante mondo notturno dei giovani e documentarlo, filmando, travestendosi e agendo come un vero paparazzo.
Il giovane reporter, avrà a disposizione una rete di informatori, con la quale potrà realizzare reportage su situazioni particolarmente surreali, piccanti, trasgressive.’

Cioè, dico solo wow! Qualcuno ha qualche notizia su questo coraggioso produttore (Twilight Games) di cui non esiste traccia online e il cui altro gioco previsto pare essere un altro capolavoro basato su Cultura Moderna?

Quello che mi rassicura è che robe del genere fanno fugaci apparizioni in edicola, vendono qualche copia e poi scompaiono nel nulla. Perfino Lula the Sexy Empire sarà ricordato tra vent’anni da qualche ex adolescente brufoloso. Mentre il gioco di Lucignolo io me lo sono già dimenticato.

P.S. se avete partecipato in qualche modo alla realizzazione di questi.. prodotti, venitevi a scusare pubblicamente nei commenti (anche anonimamente va bene!).
