Keep it Weird: Three-Ring Circus
Walking around the streets of New York tends to feel like a circus regardless; on Halloween, this is merely more apparent. The lurking figure in the distance who sends fear into the hearts of children and adults alike is not the headless zombie mother-in-law, but rather the colorful, bouncing, grinning …

Born on a raspberry farm in Northern California, Ami Kealoha worked at ReadyMade Magazine before moving to New York and taking up as CoolHunting.com's managing editor and video producer.

Keep it Weird: Domo Arigato
I'd say there are few things I fear irrationally, and robots are one of them. Particularly robots with emotions. So when the zombie apocalypse comes, I think I'd rather surrender than join forces with squads of artificial intelligence. Despite my squeamishness over emoting electro-mechanical machines …
Keep it Weird: Excretions and Secretions
Creativity just oozes from Etsians' pores, and I suppose it was inevitable that in this Keep it Weird series, I would need to address our many other discharges as well. Our bodies are compulsive makers of all sorts of products; we merely need to look inward for crafting inspiration. The artistic innovators …
Keep it Weird: Outer Limits

That's What She Said: Notes From The Office
At the risk of sounding like all I do is watch television (I don't even have a television, mind you. Thanks a lot, Internet!), I've got to say that no show is capable of systematically making me laugh until I cry like The Office can. There's just something about the painfully awkward, at times inappropriate, and yet …
Etsy Finds: Keep it Weird
I was strolling through Etsyland on a benign search for pet toys when I stumbled upon a universe of kitsch; did you know that your feline enjoys nibbling not simply on your throw cushion, but also on aliens, toilet paper, pancakes, severed zombie fingers, and eyeballs? The creative trailblazers on Etsy can …
Keep it Weird: Mythical Proportions
The artisans on Etsy whose creations spawn their own realities are keeping a legacy of fantasticality alive that dates back to storytelling itself. Whether you grew up hearing adventures of water dragons, forest nymphs, or lion-faced deities, folk tales teach us at a young age the power of imagination …

Keep it Weird: Good Enough to Eat
Hungry for inspiration? Nothing will satiate quite like this week's Keep it Weird. These unconventional creations are mouthwatering in their originality. From the gourmet to the greasy, Etsians explore food with two cups of humor and a pinch of the bizarre. Looking for seconds? Try searching "surreal …
