Richard Saja is an accomplished textile designer whose work involves embroidering quirky, brightly coloured patterns on old traditional French toile. Saja transforms historic, rather bland, 18th century figures by embellishing them with Maori face tattoos and clown outfits. One might even find a mohawked Victorian lady dressed as punk-rocker. His original, one-off creations, have landed him partnerships to create designs for some of the biggest retailers in the fashion world: Opening Ceremony and Bloomingdales, among them. His designs feature reguarly on his blog, Historically Inaccurate.

Ok, so this might not be your kind of thing, but it’s still funny. Rosie Vandenberghe from Canada designs these washable, white cloth, 100% absorbent menstrual pads with what she describes as ‘a pretty print’. There are two choices in size: a ’14 inch hot carpenter’ or a ’12 inch hot cowboy’ and with prices between $6 (AUD) and $9 (AUD) that’s kind of a bargain. For those of of you who wouldn’t mind a hot stud in their pants once a month, you can order your own from Vandenberghe’s Etsy Store. There are loads of other pads to choose from, too. I’m thinking the Leopard print: Miami style!

Brusspup is the master of optical illusions. His latest video, released through his Brusspup YouTube channel, shows a really simple yet very clever optical illusion using anamorphic projections. The trick, which is pretty mind-bending, are skewed photographs sitting on a flat piece of paper, which is then filmed at an angle where the object looks 3D.

Fast-emerging as London’s favourite womenswear and accessories designer, Sophie Hulme is known for understatedly chic bags. Recently, she teamed up with the iconic luggage brand Globe-Trotter for a second time adding new sizes and injecting more colour along with her sharp, modern aesthetic to her existing range for them. As she said in an interview with Vogue UK: ‘Globe-Trotter is such a great company that I didn’t want to see the collaborations end after just one season’. For the first time in Globe-Trotter’s history, Hulme re-designed the handle for her Autumn/Winter 2012 collection (pictured below) to include her signature brass hardware. Each piece is completed with a signature striped silk lining, coordinating with Hulme’s ready-to-wear collection.

When it comes to ‘weird’, the Japanese have proved again and again that their imagination knows no no bounds. Especially when it comes to beauty enhancement. Forget anti-wrinkle creams and a healthy, antioxidant-filled, low cholesterol diet. Think instead of a gadget that lifts your nose up by applying electric vibrations, a Hannibal Lecter look-alike mask to get rid of smile lines, or something that fits like a drain plug – or an arcane sex toy – in your mouth to exercise the cheeks. How low can your self-esteem go?

Portland-based photographer, Neil DaCosta, and art director, Sara Philips, include no personal political commentary with their new series, The Book of Mormon Missionary Positions. Their intention in juxtaposing a frighteningly antiquated excerpt from the Latter Day Saints handbook, condemning sex between anyone other than a married man and woman, with images of two men looking very much like stereotypical Mormon missionaries demonstrating sexual positions, is clear enough. If you can stop laughing.
