This is a series of mannequin lamps by Al-Hamad Design. They're called 'Embarakiya', except I would have called them 'Life of the Party Lamps' but that's just me and I should have gone straight from high school to a successful career in product naming instead of pissing away m... / Continue →

Nice shoes brobro, you see those at the store and fall in love with them? See -- LOL. This is Kenshiro. Kenshiro is a robot with a human skeleton and muscles. I'm not sure WHOSE skeleton and muscles, but you better believe I'm unchecking the organ donor box on my driver's l... / Continue →
