Perfume as Costume<\/a> – Interesting ideas for complementing a costume with fragrance.<\/p>\n

The Lego Dead<\/a> – Fairly easy zombie-themed cake. The covering appears to be textured fondant; I’m not entirely sure what the “blood” is–possibly more fondant–since it looks solid instead of runny.<\/p>\n

Kids in Awesome Costumes<\/a> – These are hilarious. (Hat tip to WitchArachne)<\/i><\/p>\n

Arkham Horror<\/a> – Matthew Baldwin does a lot of board game reviews. Here he tackles a Lovecraft-based game.<\/p>\n

Dripping Sunglasses<\/a> – These were custom-made for a fashion show, but I bet you could do something pretty similar using Sugru<\/a>. (via Scary Jane<\/a>)<\/i><\/p>\n

Cyclops Baby Booties<\/a> – Tutorial for knitting adorable little monster booties.<\/p>\n

Roach Party!<\/a> – Tumblr blog devoted to all things cockroachy. (Hat tip to Cat)<\/i><\/p>\n

Making Vinegar at Home<\/a> – Easy instructions for making homemade vinegar. One of the options they mention is tequila vinegar, so I assume it’d be possible to make vinegar from something like absinthe if you’re so inclined.<\/p>\n

Alien-Inspired High Heels<\/a> – These Geigeresque shoes are certainly…arresting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
