Dear gods, I don’t know what to say about this.

Um, what better way to celebrate Her Royal Majesty’s 60th everything than by sticking some crown-shaped sparkles to your lady garden?

Her Majazzle's jubilee vajazzle design

Srsly? Your bedazzled mind must be fried, but hey, it’s your call. And it’s nowhere near as worrying a political statement as the Obama-headed dildo I saw a couple of weeks ago.

If you really want to get one of these, you’ll find them for sale at Lovehoney for a fiver, along with a huge pile of sexy stuff for women, men and couples.

Please, don’t send me your photos. The mental image of a Her Majazzle in use is haunting me already, I don’t need evidence!

 
Tampax: Excessive Packaging Fail

The Tampax Multi-Pack: 3 different absorbencies in one handy box! Not really. It just has three smaller unprinted boxes inside the bigger branded box. What a waste of tree-corpse. Even if it’s all recycled and recyclable, what a waste of energy. It all has to be manufactured and transported. You know, I’ve got no issue with the colour coded individual wrappers. They’re hygienic and they help me find the absorbency I want. But why box them up like that? I could have coped if they were all loose in the one box. Tampax, you disappoint me. With you I can [...]

 
Festival Makeup Survival

This is a guest post by Bee at Bee Loves Beauty.   Since the sun is well and truly out and long holiday weekends beckon, I thought it might be a nice idea to share some tips and recommendations for make up survival at festivals. Based on trial and (considerable) error, I’ve come up with some golden hints I swear by. Hopefully these will help us to avoid the third-day-leprous look that can afflict the make up wearing festie-goer.

 
Cute Photo Alert! A Toddler Stole My Keys

For as long as mankind has had keys, babykind has been fascinated with those keys. They’re an interesting, possibly shiny or jingly, definitely biteable or suckable toy to any tiny mind seeking entertainment. By the time they’re toddlers, kids think keys are even more magical. Not only fun but also a tool for opening exciting boxes or –even better!– doors and windows onto the outside world. Plus the keys are clearly important to the grown-ups, which makes stealing them or hiding them much more satisfying. My Toddler, My Key Thief Hmm, these look interesting… is that a beetle preserved in [...]

 
Jubilee Xbox 360 Celebration Pack: Union Jack Skins

Just seen that the leaked news last month about a special edition Union Jack Xbox 360 package has been confirmed by Microsoft.

Blu Tack Porn

We found this creatively pornographic use of Blu Tack on our way to the local duck pond the other day. Nice recontextualisation of the existing cup-mark-like features of the wall. Sorry the photo’s a bit blurred – I was being pulled along by a toddler at the time.

 
Are Sex Robots In Our Future?

Researchers (and in this case I use the term researchers loosely) from the Victoria Management School, Victoria University of Wellington have predicted that we’ll be sleeping with sex bots in 40 years. The “study” came from a management school, not a psychology or science department. And any prediction of technology that is 40 years out is largely guesswork. You can predict pretty much anything that far out and be lauded for your foresight without being held accountable if your predictions don’t come true.

 
Join Us for Battlefield 3 Realism: 28/29 April, Xbox Live

From Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th April 2012, I will be taking advantage of my trial month’s Rent A Server subscription to host a day of Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 with a bit of added realism: No mini-map No HUD Friendly fire allowed Why Switch Off the Mini-Map & HUD? Machiavelli has been going on about how the HUD (Heads Up Display) makes games like Battlefield 3 much less realistic and she says it just turns it into a game of follow the lights. And it would be interesting to see how the death count and kill:death ratio change [...]

 
Electric Car Drivers 'More Thoughtful'

This is a guest post by Robert Taylor.   Researchers at Newcastle University say electric vehicle drivers report feeling less stressed, calmer and more in control of their electric car. In addition, electric vehicles were found to emit less than half of the carbon dioxide produced by conventional combustion engine cars and grid energy is increasingly being generated by greener renewable sources. Walking slowly helps reaching the destination Despite the environmental benefits of electric vehicles however, their take-up remains slow. The government has an incentive package – the plug-in car grant – which gives customers up to £5,000 towards the [...]

 
New Graze Food: Pears (Get A Free Snack Box!)

The new Graze.com snacks with dried pear are fantastic! And you can get your own box for free if you haven’t tried them yet – use code XF1RCB8. The one in the photo is “Poached Pear”; the main ingredients are pear, sultanas, vanilla pumpkin seeds and lemon infused sultanas. The pumpkin seeds are sweet, sticky to the touch, and taste like they should be a lot less healthy than they actually are. The fruit is tasty and tangy, and I’m surprised I’ve never tried dried pear before until this week. It really is awesome. On Tuesday I tried the new “Pear Tatin”, [...]
