Do you like Harry Styles? I sure do. And what’s not to like? He has excellent comedic timing, he sings a good song, and he’s very nice looking when he doesn’t have that weak mustache. Win win win! This fabulous little Harry is a must-own blown-glass Christmas ornament by Cody Foster & Co., the company known for creating some of the most wonderfully quirky, nostalgic and downright unexpected holiday ornaments around. And they don’t skimp on the details: Harry has his signature dark hair, pink-and-white fur coat, butterfly chest tattoo and even his shiny silver shoes — plus all the requisite bling that goes along with being an international pop star and eligible bachelor, or so I’m told. Hang him on your tree and watch all the girls go crazy!
In case you’re feeling let down because you didn’t get your Harry Styles tickets (I feel you), here’s another possible way to kick start your heart. TidalWave Comics has just added singer and pop phenomenon Benson Boone to its long-running FAME comic book biography series, and the result is… not exactly what you’d expect. FAME: Benson Boone, released this past week (January 28th), tells the story of Boone’s meteoric rise to stardom — but does so in a Japanese anime–inspired style that gives the singer an unexpectedly intense edge.
If your holiday décor leans glam, nostalgic, and just a little bit fabulous, this George Michael blown-glass ornament by Cody Foster and Co. is about to become the star of your tree. Hand-painted with shimmering detail — from the perfectly coiffed hair to the iconic sunglasses — it captures the pop legend’s unmistakable charisma in sparkling miniature.

Empire Cake bakery in the West Village once again proves it has its finger on the pulse of pop culture (I saw that LabubuCake in the window) with a batch of sugar cookies celebrating the release of Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album. When I stopped in over the weekend, they were offering two designs: one features the album cover art with Taylor decked out in an alluring, bejeweled showgirl costume, and another is shaped like a vinyl record, frosted in swirls of bright orange icing with the album’s label in the center. Whether you’re a Swiftie or just someone who appreciates a well-dressed cookie, these sweet treats are pure pop-star perfection.
