We should have totally voted for McCain, whose family never owned a nice thing, ever. [NY Post] More »

You know how we love our peculiar Barbie jewelry. So, how cool a fake engagement ring would this pink lipstick Barbie smile by Margaux Lange be? Creepy, yes. Slightly sinister; yes. Obscurely subversive; yes. But undeniably awesome! And, yes, it would still be rad in a non-marital context — just not quite as bizarre. [BoingBoing] More »
