Justin Lowe, an artist known for transforming white-cube interiors into cluttered labyrinths, has recreated the graffiti-covered restroom of the defunct CBGB punk rock club within the stately galleries of Hartford’s Wadsworth Atheneum.

This attractive bathroom scale won’t tell you your weight (thank god), but it will start your day off right with an empowering compliment! Conceived, designed, handmade, dated & signed by Marilyn Wann of Fat!So? fame. From Voluptuart (sadly, this item appears to be discontinued).
I don’t usually consider myself to be in possession of a particularly sick sense of humor, but I do appreciate the twisted sensibility of this Blood Stained Bath Mat. Maybe that’s because I am currently immersed in trying to get caught up on three seasons of Dexter. Buy one for yourself (only $37.50, what a bargain!) at This Link!
The Fish ‘N’ Flush is a 2.5 gallon aquarium that replaces your regular ceramic tank. It consists of two pieces: the actual fill tank, and the aquarium, which surrounds the fill tank for the “fish in your toilet” effect. This is great product for the pocket fishermen and people who can’t keep pet fish alive (as it comes conveniently located atop a fish cemetery). It was designed by Richard Quintana in 2005 and retails for $300.00.
