Now I was blown away when I saw this. Philip Watts is a designer who specialises in metal, wood and glass, from full work surfaces to furniture. But there was one masterpiece I could not resist posting, his bespoke sculptural staircase in the style of a spine.

Literally dripping with detail, this master piece has been made specially for this lucky persons home.

Philip Watts Design is based in Nottingham, UK.

Anatomical kitchen accessories are nothing new at Street Anatomy, and I truly believed I had seen it all. But Christine Chin seems to have taken it one step further with her Sentient Kitchen Series. Taking tips from nature’s most ingenious engineering, Christine examines biology and technology, creating the most perceptive set of kitchenware yet. This piece probably isn’t ideal for dinner with the in-laws, and I’m not quite sure how I feel about nose hair on my pepper shaker, or eyebrows in my sugar, but it is sure to get people talking.

To view the entire fleshy collection, from the Shuttling Shakers which are “mobile for dining convenience,” to the Milk Jug that “dispenses according to stimulus,” head to Christine Chin’s website.

If I were known to wear dresses…ah who am I kidding, I could never pull this off. But for those of you who could, the dress is available for $132 in ‘dirty black’ or ‘blue jean’ from the Wildfox website, or available in teal (as shown) on ShopNastyGal for 6 bones more.

This dress is perfect for the girl who doesn’t want to dress up but still wants to shake it this Hallow’s Eve.

Looking to kill some time one afternoon, YouTube user SaintJimmey turned the camera on himself and captured some pretty interesting eye movements. I really had no idea the eye was so…bouncy. I’ve also never been able to do that weird eye shaking thing, but it comes in handy in this case. See for yourself!

Summary Salvaged in August 2010, the six panels formed the walls of the shack of a vodoo (voodoo, vodou, vodun) practitioner in the town of Adjarra. The town is about one hour's drive from Porto Novo, the capital city of Benin, on a mud road towards the Nigerian border. The population attends a flourishing vodoo market where medical practitioners have dried animal parts, carved statuettes and other fetishistic items available for medicinal purposes. The paintings advertise the diseases and parts of the body which the practitioner offers to cure through sorcery and animal sacrifices that call upon the spirit world
