So proclaims one of the thirty wit-ridden and heart-spoken desktop signs in this set. ThinkGeek is confident these signs will turn your frown upside down. What else do you have to look forward to during your prosaic, tedious, gratingly slow days at the office? Nada. And we understand that you are probably too emotionally sapped to muster the energy to occasionally tell your co-workers to bugger off and die in a corner. That’s why you’ll love these perfectly messaged signs. They’ll let your office mates know how you really feel without you even moving your lips! Hehehehe

Gorgeous shoes with amazing drawings by an extraordinary sailor artist! Sailor Jerry was tagged with the name Norman Collins at birth, but he began to distance himself from normalcy/ normancy when he was 19 (that’s why he became a sailor). He traveled around the world, not only getting his first tattoos, but also gaining exposure to the art and imagery of Southeast Asia. This later became a crucial influence when he opened his first tattoo shop in Honolulu’s Chinatown, ground zero for swaggering sailors, drunken soldiers and whoever else wasn’t afraid to hang around volatile levels of testosterone.

Catherine Bertola’s haunting and evocative art uses the debris of humanity – decay in the form of dust, the stuff of human passage. “Women are traditionally trained to notice it, erase it, halt its pervasiveness. Only a bad woman would collude with it, invite it in, reconstitute it”. Place, history and how the past resurfaces in the present are core themes; installations and objects subtly intervene with spaces, responding to the architecture and history of each site. Unashamedly beautiful, these transient works excavate the patterns of lost lives gathered in the dust of abandoned rooms, their fragility and temporality invoking the spectator’s own corporeality.

Red Velvet

IT’S a cake that can stop traffic. The layers are an improbable red that can vary from a fluorescent pink to a dark ruddy mahogany. The color, often enhanced by buckets of food coloring, becomes even more eye-catching set against clouds of snowy icing, like a slash of glossy lipstick framed by platinum blond curls. Even the name has a vampy allure: red velvet.

But no matter how you slice it — or bake it — red velvet cake is suddenly all the rage. Every new bakery seems to sell a version. Established ones are adding the cake to their repertory, and those that have always made it are hard pressed to keep up with the demand!
