Pride and Prejudice…Cool?
This book was released over a month ago, but as I’ve read it and dubbed it Officially Cool, i wanted to not review it, but give it some Kiss of the Ass. As it says on the back of the book they take a masterpiece of world literature and turn it into something you’d actually want to read…. They have blended the actual original content by jane Austen and mingled it with the bizarro stylings of Seth Grahame Smith…All I can say is that during a dinner when Zombies eat the waitstaff the sisters start practicing head rolling martial arts….And somewhere along the way, ninjas show up! OFFICIALLY COOL!!!!

Naked R2D2
Naked droids, just one more reason to join your local nudist colony. Although this photo is of an fan made R2 unit in its early construction I must say that its hollowed inards and unpainted metal makes for nice modern contemporary piece.

Ebay Watch: Iron Man Armor (wearable replica)
Holy Crap! Fan ingenuity never fails to amaze me. This life size and wearable replica Iron Man armor is availble on ebay for a not so affordable price of $3900. Made from fiberglass and formed plastic this costume will fit people of height 5′8-6′2 with a waist size 30-38inch.
