Get Clean With Dirty Boys

manifoldtowels.jpg
Ever want a husky lumberjack between your crack? Us, too. Luckily the kids over at Chicago-based store, Manifold offer this assortment of tantalizing bath towels.

The sexually-charged handy man, fire man and daisy duke-wearing construction worker are guaranteed to get you dry - and, perhaps, a little wet. Oh, yeah, we're naughty. We're so naughty, in fact, we're thinking about taking a Manifold pin-up bath towel to the beach. Yeah, that's right. Our depravity knows no bounds...

Don't worry, ladies, the store also has pin-up gals.

That Is, If You've Got the Guts (And The Dough)

foleydoll.jpg
It may not even be Halloween, but it's never too early to prepare for that dreaded annual plague known as "The Holiday Season".

Well, what's a better way to celebrate both togetherness and drunken revelry than with a Mark Foley doll designed by David Johnson of SpectreStudios? Pretty fucking sweet, right? Well, you can own one. That is, if you head over to eBay, where the current bid rests at $255.

Sure, it may sound a bit steep, but Foley comes with his own hooch and what appears to be a GPS system (He is, after all, a drunk. We can't expect him to track down young lads all by his lonesome).

Oh, and if you're considering buying this for a guppie, be sure to read the packaging: "Not For Children."

(We must say, we're a little surprised to hear Foley's six-inches. We thought something closer to four, but we've never been very good with numbers.)

renova-toilet-paper.jpg

Wiping your butt is fun again with this super deluxe, colored toilet paper from Portuguese manufacturer Renova. Soft and colorful, it's almost a shame to use it for its intended purpose, especially at the retail price of around $2 per roll.

We only had one main concern about dyed toilet paper and that was quickly resolved. Apparently Renova paper is already in use in some fancy New York clubs, so we would have heard about it if partygoers were walking away with stained cheeks.

amenity-lotion.jpg

Looking at all the products available in their webstore, we are tempted to say that the boys at aMENity are trying to make shaving a lot more complicated than it needs to be. However, the flip side of that argument is that they are making a mundane activity more luxurious.

aMENity offers a full line of shaving brushes, creams, after-shave lotions, and moisturizers to slap on your face. The new line of products is coming in October, which means that everything in their webstore is on super sale and selling out fast. Go get yours and start deluxe shaving.

lg-wine-cellar.jpg

Until a couple years ago, we had never even heard of LG, which is now a main competitor in the crowded field of cell phone manufacturers, mainly as a result of their cheap price tags and expensive ad campaigns. However, LG is more than just cell phones, as they manufacture all sorts of home appliances from vacuum cleaners to washing machines to... portable wine cellars?

If you're way into wine, but have a medium-sized apartment, where do you keep it at the right temperature? Red needs to be stored in a warmer space than white, plus all those others tricks of the wine trade we've never thought about. And you can't exactly dig a cellar.

So buy one of these cellars and customize the temperature of each shelf, but be warned: just because they're portable doesn't mean they aren't expensive. They start at around $1200.

nikon-coolpix-s9.jpg

In the "electronic gadgets as fashion accessories" category, enter the new Nikon Coolpix S9 camera, which is so sleek and metallic, you have to hunt to find the tiny lens, which has an impressive 3X optical zoom. The viewscreen on the back is anything but tiny, which is a nice luxury, but also drains battery life.

Of course, here comes the good part: you can buy it in silver, blue (boys), or pink (girls), and they are all shiny, so you can flash them around in the bar and attract all sorts of attention, only to slip it away into your shirt pocket.

fish-n-flush.jpg

The only thing more whimsical than a whacky shower curtain withs fish all over it is real, live fish in your bathroom, but space is usually at such a premium that the only spare surfaces hold your hair product or moisturizer. But there still is a way to bring fish to your bathroom, thank goodness. Put them in the toilet! Not down the toilet, but in this special aquarium that wraps around a clear inner toilet tank. It makes a fanciful and bold bathroom statement, but be warned: it is not for the pee-shy.

200608-tosh.jpg

If you've done any amount of traveling – or even happen to live in a town that welcomes a modicum of tourism – you're familiar with the gift shop/souvenir routine: Key chains, pens, postcards, and mugs brandishing the scenery of the locale and perhaps a catchy phrase ("Ithaca is gorges," comes to mind). But those key chains, pens, postcards, and mugs were likely all printed by the same folks who mass produce other travel keepsakes the world over. Don't you want something, you know, original to remind you of where you've been?

That's where Tosh comes in. Founded in '04, Tosh grew as tired as you rummaging through the same racks of staid T-shirts with horrific prints you wouldn't even give your grandfather. So they set out to create original momentos of some your favorite places, like Prague, Amsterdam, London, New York, Sydney, and Santorini. No longer will your trip to New Delhi wrap up with a deck of playing cards stamped with the Taj Mahal. Rejoice!

200608-robzinnsconces.jpg

Ready to upgrade from Ikea's lighting department? Your roommate-boyfriend-party posse will thank you. Enough with those tired prefab designs made for the mass market. Especially if you've got only 250 square feet of living space (hey, we know what it's like to live in New York) it's even more important to keep your home well-lit. And, perhaps more importantly, lit attractively. That's where Rob Zinn's wall sconces come in. The designer teamed with blankblank (the team responsible for executing these designs) to create two worthy additions to your living room: the Expansion Wall Sconce and the Viscosity Wall Sconce, which only look like vaginas to the untrained eye. If we've even got to tell you these fixtures double as art then, well, you probably don't deserve them.

wet-lamp.jpg

Scott Franklin's Wet Lamp not only has an innovative design, but an element of danger. It consists of a lightbulb submerged in water with a dimmer that is controlled by moving a metal rod into and out of the water.

Despite its claim of being a "completely safe and isolated system of low voltage power," we still say this lamp is for thrill-seekers only who enjoy wondering whether they might die every time they flick on the light.

eyetv-hybrid.jpg

We bloggers recognize the value of getting TV on your computer so we can bring you amusing clips now and then, but the hardware aspect of making your computer receive a TV signal has been a bit confusing until now. The EyeTV Hybrid plugs into your USB port and can receive both digital HDTV as well as analog signals through a coaxial cable. In a nutshell: plug your cable into your computer and watch it there, allowing you to record things for later, watch TV wherever you travel, and even use your computer with your Playstation II.

Unfortunately this product is only for Mac, but we figure at least a few of you design-conscious gays would be Mac users, so this one is for you.

200608-davidwalkerquilts.jpg

Being in this blogging business, perhaps we're partial to an artist who can also design a website. But that's not why we've fallen for David Walker. Though his urban landscape photography has us ready to inquire about prints, it's his quilts – yes, we said quilts – that have us riled up. Normally the territory of retired grandmothers with wisps of white hair fallen astray, quilting is a much overlooked means of expression when we've got Todd Goldman pop art to afford. While the masses might flock to Bed Bath & Beyond to find the perfect throw for the sofa, David Walker is our type of destination. This Cincinnati local removed any sign this medium could might be boring and revamped our notions about how lively a quilt can be — and these sure aren't for grandmas.
