TOP 10 UNUSUAL SANTA HATS

Top 10 Unusual Santa Hats

Those of you who work in an office will know where I am coming from with this. On the stroke of December 1st everyone in the office starts to wear Santa hats. Well don’t conform to society, you can make a stand! Show people there is an alternative to the cheap looking Santa hats out there…

Top 10 Unusual Santa Hats

Santa Hat With Shot Glasses

10 – Shots

Why have a normal Santa hat when you can have one to carry round shot glasses with! It might get a few smiles at least as you travel around the office party floor. Just remember not to bow in front of anyone.

Light-Up Christmas Turkey Hat

9 – Turkey Head

Well it made me smile anyway. With a build in set of lights and 2 small Santa hats on the Turkeys legs it is as festive and festive gets. Just remember not to wear it to the annual vegetarian Christmas ball.

Christmas Tree Hat Light Up

8 – Tinsel Town

My family home is always covered in tinsel. From December the first to the 5th of January our home looks very much like this hat, prickly and full of Christmas cheer. But even I wouldn’t be brave enough to wear this in public.

Bah Humbug Santa Hat

7 – Bah Humbug

Here is something weird I just learned. Bah Humbug was in fact a nautical phrase! But of course we all know it from the mouth of Ebenezer Scrooge. Facts aside I know quite a few people who would rather wear one of these than a Santa hat.

Christmas Baseball Cap

6 – Sun Light and Snowbells

With global warming making Christmas a little more like late Summer maybe this is the best way to go. Or if you live in Australia this will be perfect for keeping that hot Christmas sun out of your eyes.

Potato Sack Santa Hat

5 – Poor Man’s Santa

At first I thought this was a giant sack witches hat. But then I realised that it was just a poor choice of table-cloth. Well if you are craft inspired maybe you could make your own Santa hat from a Potato or coal sack.

Star Trek Spock Ears Santa Hat

4 – Festive Trek

Do you think they celebrated Christmas on Vulcan? Well maybe not, but if they did I could definitely see Spock wearing this rather unusual Santa hat. Or maybe his human side would compel him to wear it anyway!

Batman Santa Hat

3 – The Caped Delivery Man

If ever there was a strange mash-up of ideas it has to be a Santa hat and a Batman mask. But for Nerds like me it will offer a nice little alternative to wearing the normal Santa hat.

R2D2 Santa Hat

2 – Festive Beeps

With a beep and a squirt comes this R2D2 inspired Christmas hat. Sadly the one in the image link has already been sold. But I am sure if you ask nicely enough they will make another one for you.

TARDIS inspired Santa Hat

1 – TARDIS

You don’t need me to tell you why I made this my number 1, because it is simply amazing and looks much the same as well. So show people you are happy to be a Whovian this Christmas and wear one of these.

TOP 10 UNUSUAL UPCYCLED SHOE SCULPTURES

Top 10 Unusual Upcycled Shoe Sculptures

When it comes to getting rid of an old pair of shows what do you do with them? Do you make a planter like those seen in my post “Top 10 Shoe Planters” or do you just give them away to charity? Well today we are going to meet Gwen Murphy who doesn’t do either of those things. In fact she transforms old shoes into amazing works of art…

Top 10 Unusual Upcycled Shoe Sculptures

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

10 – Teacher

All these shoes by Gwen Murphy are part of her collection of shoe artworks called “Foot Fetish” because she loves shoes and I would imagine so did the owner of these shoes.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

9 – Tired

Sometimes scary, and sometimes rather odd. You can really see that the artist doesn’t just work with these old shoes as a medium but as a life-long fascination and it really shows.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

8 – Home Alone

I would have said that these were the slippers from a old man, but it goes to show I just don’t study and understand shoes quite as much as the artist does.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

7 – Red Faced

For my money I would like to bet that the artist has got the owner of these shoes spot on. From the pouting face to the red style. These are almost definitely the shoes of a upper-class person.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

6 – Native?

Now I could wrong here, but I get the feeling that the artist is trying to turn these old shoes into a a native American Indian style character. But then again I could be wrong. (as I normally am)

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

5 – The Ballerina

It is this sculpture that I think really shows the artists skills. The character in the sculpture perfectly portrays what the original owner of the show might have looked like. Maybe even a ballet instructor!

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

4 – The face in the shoe

There is definitely something creepy about these works of art. This one for me was one of the strangest, but yet the character it is show seems to fit the shoe.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

3 – Split Personality

It is the art of the sad clown that is captures here. From sad to happy it perfectly captures a clowns life and they really do look like clown shoes! Makes you wonder if they really were.

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

2 – Frog Faced

This is got to be one of the most unusual the artist has made. But yet it also really works as well. Sure the old shoes didn’t come from a frog, but they might well have come from someone frog faced!

Upcycled Shoe Sculpture

1 – Biting Shoes

And I will end with with one of her darker sculptures. But yet as with the rest of them the character really does seem to match the shoe! Well I hope you have enjoyed seeing these and do remember to click on on of the images above and see the many, many other amazing shoe characters the artist has come up with.

TOP 10 STAR WARS THEMED VEHICLES

Top 10 Star Wars Themed Vehicles

Some people just seem to take their love of things too far, and none more-so that people who love the Star Wars films. Lets face it, there is even a religion based from it! But today we are looking at some very scary fan made cars and bikes…

Top 10 Star Wars Themed Vehicles

Star Wars Themed Scooter

10 – Scooter

I remember seeing this for the first time way back in one of my first posts called “Top 10 Unusual Scooters” and it still looks cool even now.  But I have never rode a scooter before and even with this between my legs I would still not want to try.

Star Wars Themed Bus

9 – Bus

Made to advertise the Star Wars Battle Front game comes this amazing piece of marketing. Made to look like a space themed bus that is transporting Stormtroopers to the battle location it is marketing genius.

Star Wars Themed Van

8 – Visiting Mecca

First seen in my post “Top 10 Amazing Modified Vans” is is a custom hand painted job that is more like a drivable work of art than a everyday work van. This is not just a fan made van, this was a labour of love for someone.

Star Wars Themed Car

7 – Vader Car

If this doesn’t make you smile if you see it driving down the road not a lot will. With a definite Darth Vader style it is like a cross between the batmobile and Star Wars. I wonder if it can be driven by dark side powers!?

Star Wars Themed Car

6 – Fighter Car

If you have the time and the money to transform a car into a spaceship themed one then you have way too much time on your hands. But sadly I am a true nerd and I will applaud you for doing so, much like whoever made this!

Star Wars Themed Soapbox Derby Car

5 –Soapbox Car

Not much more than a custom themed push cart it is something I would have probably made if I have the skills as a child. But I was far to busy watching the films and trying to understand the science of Star Trek instead.

Star Wars Themed Landspeeder Car

4 – Landspeeder Car

I might not be able to reach the speeds of the land speeders you see in the films, but even at cruising speed this is going to get you noticed. Sadly it doesn’t look like there is much room for shopping in the back so best to keep this car spare for a lazy Sunday drive.

Star Wars Themed Bicycle

3 – Bicycle

Sadly peddle bikes are not very Star Wars themed even when they are themed to look like they are! But you have to give this person credit for custom making this by hand. I can just imagine the looks I would get if I cycled down the street on this.

Star Wars Themed Lamborghini Murcielago

2 – Lamborghini

Looking almost as space age as the vehicles seen in the movies is this super car with a very cool Star Wars themed paint job. All it would need is a Chewbacca behind the wheel and it would be complete!

Star Wars Themed Jawa Sandcrawler

1 – Sandcrawler

Seen at Burning Man festival in Nevada this was made by several fans of the films and we really made with all the detail they could possibly throw at it. It goes to show you should never leave a load of Star Wars loving mechanics out in the desert for too long.

TOP 10 DOGS COVERED IN MUD

Top 10 Dogs Covered in Mud

The problem with owning a dog is a dog doesn’t understand that it needs to stay clean. A cat will never come home covered in mud, or roll around in poo! But today my dog is one of those dirty dogs who managed to find a massive puddle and proceeded to roll around in it much like this lot have done…

Top 10 Dogs Covered in Mud

Dog Covered in mud

10 – Half and half

This dog must have overheard his owner saying how it was a half-breed not a full one, so he felt that he should cover the bad half of himself in mud. Its funny how it is an almost perfect line going down him.

Dog Covered in mud

9 – Drips

This is what happens when a white fur dog goes into a very dirty puddle. I love the way the dogs fur is so thick that the mud can’t penetrate most of it creating a dripping mud effect on the poor pooch.

Dog Covered in mud

8 – 3 for filth

This looks more like a cue for the bog snorkelling championships! But it seems like when one goes in, they all go in. Maybe they are all just happy to cool down for a bit, or maybe they are all fans of the mud.

Dog Covered in mud

7 – What mud?

When it comes to getting covered in dirt my own dog has never come home with just his snout covered in mud. It is mostly all or nothing when it comes to my mutt. Unlike this one it seems that has somehow managed to keep most of himself out of it.

Dog Covered in mud

6 – All the way

For most of us dog owners this is the thing we dread to see the most. Our lovable mutts plastered in mud and knowing that you have to go the whole car journey home with the dog somewhere in the car. I always carry old blankets just in case these days.

Dog Covered in mud

5 – Colour Match

My dog is mostly black and brown anyway,, but any owner of a white dog must fear their dogs getting into the brown stuff. Not only does it look 9 times worse anyway, but it will also stain the fur for a while.

Dog Covered in mud

4 – Mud Pack

The dog I had before the one I have now used to do this truffle pig thing along the ground much like this pooch seems to have done, and yes the dog would always end up looking like it has a face pack on.

Dog Covered in mud

3 – Not a care was given

Dogs don’t care what it is when they get hot, they just care that they cool off while they lay in it. Sadly that does mean a muddy puddle can often look like an ice-bath to some dogs like this one.

Dog Covered in mud

2 – Invisible

This dog has clearly found his matching colour! Just a few rolls around in this puddle and the dog would have looked like it vanished! But all that mud also means their fur will feel lovely and soft afterwards.

Dog Covered in mud

1 – Brown Dog Vs White Ball

There seems to remain a constant when we look back over the last 10 images, and that is the dogs are always happy! “Happier than a pig in muck” goes the saying and when it comes to dogs never a more true word is spoken.

TOP 10 DOGS WEARING HAIR CURLERS

Top 10 Dogs Wearing Hair Curlers

Dogs all over the are getting ready for the festive party season. Some are getting all the food ready, and some are still looking for gifts. But others are much more prepared and are getting ready for all the parties they will have to goto…

10 – Girly Night In

It seems that Angelina Jolie is taking a night out from making films to have a girls night in with her and the only woman that can compete with her.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

9 – Blond Bombshell

Lucy here knows that all the other dogs in the dog park will be looking at her when she goes for a walk. Because her motto in life is “Look great, feel great” and that is how she rolls.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

8 – PJ’s

I am not sure if this dog is covered in hair curlers, or it has fallen into a box of packing noodles! Whatever they are they seem to go rather well with those golf pajamas.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

7 – Party Girl

When this girl power pooch walks into a party the music stops playing and she becomes the center of attention. Or maybe that hair is a rebellion against having to wear a dog collar.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

6 – Attitude

Both of these little girls look like they have some hard core attitude. This is a girls only night in and boys are definitely not welcome.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

5 – Change of Style

Bob here was sick and tired of having straight hair and has decided to give his life some curls. Do us men even get our hair curled? I have some very effeminate mates and none of them have ever had their hair curled (That I know of!)

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

4 – The Works

This dog is having it all done at once. Nails are getting trimmed, hair dyed and curled  and maybe even a face pack or two. In fact this dog seems to look after its self better than I do myself!

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

3 – Surprise!

This is one dog that does not look happy about having its picture taken while not looking her best. And why should she! She takes the time and effort to look nice and should be respected for doing so.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

2 – Jealous

Do you think short haired dogs get jealous over long haired dogs in the winter? I would imagine that being a short haired bull dog winter is not a good time to have short fur.

Dog Wearing Hair Curlers

1 – The Classic

And at last we come to the classic washer woman image. With hair curlers in, head scarf on and shades she couldn’t look any more 60’s Britain if she tried! I always remember my mum doing very much the same thing every Friday.
