WW176: MASTERS OF SEX, DAVID JABLOW and CLOCKONE

Here are the 5 things that I love this week!!! I want you to really love them too!!

1.) Masters of Sex. Ok….I KNOW I KNOW…..I am WAY FAR BEHIND ON THIS!! But wow!
You gotta watch this show!

Thanks Showtime! Yes…this is the sex-centric version of Mad Men. Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan star as the lead characters, Dr. William Masters and Virginia Johnson, two pioneering researchers of human sexuality at Washington University - who go on to revolutionize how we think about sex!

AMAZING! Beau Bridges and Allison Janney just knock your socks off!! WOW!!!

If you haven't seen it.

DO! NOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!

If you have (like most other people I know) just ignore that it took me so long to get into it!

Here's a clip from season one:

(here for my iPhone friends!!)

I even love the beginning credits….very cute!

Go watch it. Not for the smut………for the acting….and the scenery……\

FINE…AND THE NUDITY!!!

;-)

2.) This guys work is super! David Jablow is an artist/illustrator that can turn something like this…

(thanks Cheepay for finding this fine artist and bringing him to my attention!)

3.) It's summer….have I mentioned that?? Here is how you could celebrate:

YUMMMM.
(and then imagine these WITH VODKA!!!!)

4.) I need this. I really do. ‘Clockone’ by twelve24 is a four millimeter thin, meter-long wall clock that uses high contrast E-ink technology to display time!

It is powered by a single coin-cell battery and runs for an average of a year! It weighs less than two kilograms. This lightweight timepiece can also be hung using a simple magnetic mounting system and tilts to automatically level itself.

"Clockone" will be available september 2014, and can be pre-ordered here.

WW111: THE ATTENDANT, EASTER CREME EGGS, and ZOMBIES VS TOYS

Howdy Folks!
What a line up of things I have to share this week.....5 glorious things that I want you to see!!
Here we go:

1) OMG...I WANT TO GO TO THERE!!!! A trip to London England is NOW in order.....I would like to have my latte at 'The Attendant':

Here is what Designboom had to say:

"The urinals are so clean you can eat off of them- an idea turned into reality by pete tomlinson and ben russel who acquired an 1890's Victorian style London lavatory and converted it into a clean contemporary cafe. 'the attendant' features the original installations which have been preserved and thoroughly cleaned (for those of you still unconvinced), retaining the original look and feel of the historical washroom while complying to current day sanitary standards. the urinals, produced by doulton & co, have been converted into a small bar table, with a continuous wooden plank that fits to the contours of the urinal walls, suggesting individual eating areas. the attendant's office was repurposed into a kitchen and the original hand dryer still sits on the wall."

Seriously!! I NEEEED to go to there.

2) My dear sister goes out of her way to make a delicious new dish each time I visit. It is completely unnecessary - but very much appreciated!!!! The winner this time....Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Easter Egg Cups.......

 6-8 hollow chocolate easter egg shells
150g (about 5oz) cream cheese, softened
30g (about 1/4 cup) icing sugar (confectioners' sugar), sifted
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
125ml (about 1/2 cup) thickened/heavy whipping cream
For the 'yolk': My sister substituted caramel for the traditional jam!!

Using a small serrated knife, carefully remove the tops of the chocolate eggs. Place the eggs in the fridge to keep them chilled while you prepare the cheesecake filling, you can use egg cups or your fridge egg holder Place the cream cheese, icing sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat on high until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside and carefully whip the thickened cream in a separate mixing bowl to stiff peaks (watch it closely as thickened cream is very easy to overwhip and split). Using a whisk, gently combine the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth. Carefully spoon or pipe the mixture into the prepared chocolate shells. Chill eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.

Adorable and DEELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Thanks sister!!!

3) These paintings by Bradley Hart are amazing! He creates pixelated photorealistic pictures by injecting bubble wrap with acrylic paint!!!! COME ON!!! SO SMART!! The process starts with the creation of an “Injection” piece in which Hart uses syringes loaded with paint to fill a developed grid of bubble wrap, with colour.

Upon completion of the injected work, the drippings are removed from the backside of the plastic to reveal an “Impression,” thus becoming a work with its own meaning and story." Bradley's show, titled “Wasted Paint & Created Waste” was at gallery nine5 in New York last month!

Find out more about Bradley's work here.

4) I love this Vintage Wooden Hotel Key Rack (only $65.00) sold by Clayton Gray Home:

Check out their cool stuff - (if price is no option)!!

5) This is BRILLIANT!!! It is undeniable proof that "The Walking Dead" And "Toy Story" have the exact same plot.......I want you to check it out HERE....but here are a few examples....I don't wanna ruin it for you....it is WELL WORTH reading it on BuzzFeed!!

WW89: HEY MEATBALL, MR WAITE, and POSH again!!

2.) Weapon instruments. Mexican artist pedro reyes has turnes weapons into instruments as a way to address the crime rates in his native country. This most recent project 'imagine' is a set of 50 musical instruments also fabricated out of a variety of firearms including revolvers, shot-guns, machine guns etc. The objects of musical destruction are on display as part of the 'adhocracy' exhibition, curated by joseph grima at the istanbul design biennial 2012.

4.) Thanks to my sister who lovingly made Thanksgiving dinner this past weekend. She made this recipe and I HAD to share it with you. YUUUUUUMMMERS!

Twice Baked Cauliflower

(Makes 6-8 servings; recipe adapted slightly from The Low Carb Gourmet.)

1 large head cauliflower

4 oz. low fat cream cheese (do not use fat free)

1/2 cup low fat sour cream (do not use fat free)

1/4 cup minced green onions

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (If you only have finely grated Parmesan, use a bit less)

6 slices bacon, cooked until very crisp, fat blotted with paper towel and then crumbled

1 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Cut out stem and core from cauliflower, and cut into small pieces. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until cauliflower is tender, but not overly soft. Drain well and mash with potato masher, leaving some chunks. Mix in light cream cheese, light sour cream, green onion, Parmesan, and 3/4 of the crumbled bacon. Spread evenly in a medium-sized glass casserole dish. Sprinkle with low-fat cheddar cheese and reserved bacon. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

5.) This made me laugh and laugh and laugh......."now give me my money":
