Out walking in beautiful Brooklyn with my friend Shannon the other day, we stumbled upon the cutest modern boutique called Module R. It’s chock full of really cool modern stuff but I focused most of my attention on the vast number of options available for carrying lunch to work. I’ve been on the hunt for a new lunch system. I call it system, because somehow lunchbox sounds to adolscent for a grown woman. I’ve narrowed it down to four but I’m having a a hard time choosing, so maybe you can help me out. Vote for your favorite below!

I would argue that there is nothing creepier than a rug that looks like your neighbor took a face plant from the Empire State Building. Even though it’s so very obvious the rug is not real, it looks like a cousin of the blow-up doll, with it’s creepy slack jawed stare, it’s still a little unsettling. I rather like the windblown look of the hair, as I imagine that’s exactly how mine would look had a just taken a colossal nose dive.

I’m sorry I’m just not one of those people who is comfortable with the naked human body, so for me this has to be the creepiest and most disturbing of any of these pieces! Not to mention my obsessive/compulsive love of symmetry is set off balance by its many dips and crevices.  Also, you’d want to pay particular attention when grabbing a book. The title, Moby Dick, could prove to be just that.

Dismembered Baby Doll Coat Rack

Our first creepy item comes in the form of a little DIY project. Looking for a way to recycle all of those broken baby doll parts you have hanging around the house? Screw the appendages into a wooden board and voila! You’ve put those tiny hands (and legs) to work.

 A Bench with Arms Holding a Large Tumor

What can one say about the Surrealism chair by David Pompa? I’m sure we could have a lengthy conversation about the designer’s intent and how it makes us feel, but less just cut to the chase, it’s fucking creepy! I mean I’m not sure what repulses me the most; the arms belonging to uh, no one, jutting from the side of the chair or said arms fondness of, what looks to me like a large tumor. I can only assume this chair belongs to descendants of your favorite appendage and mine , Thing from the Adams Family.

I loved playing with those marble runs as a kid, but clean up was always a pain. Bernhard Burkard has combined this game with my other love for refrigerator magnets. With the Plama Marble Run 2D there is no clean up necessary.

Simple arrange the marble ramp magnet shapes to create thousands of ramp possibilities. The different colors and shapes are art in themselves, and this is a fun gift idea for both adults and kids!

Paul Jr. who is known for designing motorcycles has decided to take a shot at another manly item, the grill. For $140, you get 285 square inches of cooking space to grill those burgers. The unique design is collapsible so you can take it with you on those long road trips with the family or the guys. With 10,000 BTU burners, custom black paint and chrome accents, it will look fantastic next to your chopper.

I hate to cook. I know, I know it’s not trendy to hate cooking these days. You can hardly turn a channel on TV without landing on some  reality cooking show torturing contestants for fun and profit. It’s not my bag, but I get it. And I don’t read food blogs, well that’s not true, I read my sister in law’s blog Box of Lunch, but that’s because I have a vested interest in it’s success. Other than that, you will not find one food oriented blog in my Google Reader. I happily leave the cooking to all the budding Iron Chefs and Martha Stewart wanna-bes out there. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a food hater. I understand why people find cooking interesting, being a creative gal myself, I get the whole ‘look what I made’ process. But I have never found cooking to be relaxing or fun or any of the other adjectives people use to describe slaving over a hot stove for hours. However, one must eat. And even though I have helped put some delivery guy’s kids through college, I do occasionally break out the pots and pans. I am not a adventurous cooker, put I can make a little something to nosh between deliveries.But if I am gonna do it, I wanna fun doing it! That is why I am buying these Diamond Ring Measuring Spoons. Totally kitschy? You betcha. Waggish and immature? Of course, but that’s why I love them! If cooking is supposed to be fun then you need to have comical props. And it’s probably about as close as I am ever going to get to owning a real diamond ring.
