Vajazzling: A New Kind of Bedazzled Box
Vajazzling is exactly what it sounds like, and with a spokesperson like Jennifer Love Hewitt (video after the jump), you’d better jump on that bandwagon while it’s still afloat … and sparkling. In a typical vajazzling session, Sawarovski crystals are “tattooed” in a variety of shapes and messages. They’re not…

LabFive Hosts WIYS WRUD
This summer vacation doesn’t have to be synonymous with Playstation, Wii, DSi or any other energizing, brain-stimulating plastic box with a screen and buttons. That’s because Laboratory5, the art venture brainchild of Tempe-based Cyndi Coon and Jeremy Briddell, is hosting an art/writing workshop for local tweens called WIYS WAYD. So…

They’re Alive! Top 10 New Species of 2010
Fascinating, awe-inspiring and often downright horrifying — these are the Top 10 New Species of 2010, named by the International Institute of Species Exploration at Arizona State University this afternoon. There’s no pageant here, folks, and thankfully no talent portion. Who’s to say what a carnivorous sponge, flat-faced frogfish or…
Where Am I Eating?
A few sweet pastries, good company and a huge, refillable cup of coffee. This, friends, is truly a breakfast of champions (or at least it’ll tide us over until the weekend officially begins). Can you guess where I’m eating? Last week’s winner guessed the answer in record time. Congratulations “Booger,”…

Hipstamatic: iPhone Does Vintage
It’s not difficult to see the “hipster” in hipstamatic — but we love it nonetheless. Hipstamatic’s a new iPhone application that can turn any old iphone into a hipstamat-style camera. This may all sound Greek, so we brought in Jason Hill, who set up an Etsy store a few days ago to showcase his own prints, to explain. Hill originally wanted…

Where Am I Eating?
Lunch time was calling and this downtown hot spot was packed. Nabbing one of the rustic tables took a few pointed glances at foodies who were clearly monopolizing prime-time seating. But as we waited for our carne asada, our spirits were lifted as the salsa bar came into view. Forget…
