Etsy Finds: Deviant Behavior
It's the season for sharing, so why not spread the love for your most unique of Etsy Favorites? Each week I look forward to the searches I must conduct in the name of the Keep it Weird series on Etsy's blog. I meander from "specimen" to "macabre," discovering creations that compel me to raise high the roof beams! Let …
Keep it Weird: In the Ecozone
Is global warming the Debbie Downer to your unseasonably pleasant winter? Before biodiversity drowns under melting glaciers, let's celebrate the ecological niches of eccentricity. This week's Keep it Weird took me on an off-roading tour of biomes. I'd love to inhabit any of these environments, where the …
Keep it Weird: Mangy Manger
There is so much potential for self-expression in holiday decor that going traditional seems like a cop-out. If miracles of blazing oil or immaculate conception inspire you to reimagine our accepted constructs of reality, consider your tree a canvas for experimentation. How do you plan to provoke …
Keep it Weird: Plymouth Rock
If yesterday was a whirlwind of tofurkey and pie, sit back and relish the day-after food coma with some puritanical oddities. It's time to go against the grain in celebration of the pilgrims' journey for freedom. This week's Keep it Weird goes down real smooth with leftover gravy. I give thanks for the Zombie …
Keep it Weird: Everything but the Kitchen Sink
Have you been stocking your pantry in preparation for the imminent whirlwind of whisks and basters? The season of mass-entertaining is almost upon us, and as any hardened hostess knows, the potential for some oven-baked surrealism is immense. When your mother-in-law arrives with her own apron in tow …
Keep it Weird: Wishlist
For as long as I can remember, every holiday season with my family has relied on two unwavering traditions: countertops slick with grease from latkes gone astray, and my father weighing each gift-wrapped box assessing that this time, he's positive, it must be a pastrami sandwich. Like a surprise birthday …
Keep it Weird: The Canon
In the discipline of art history, there is a rich legacy of challenging social norms aesthetically. I think the iconic heavyweights of the Pop Art or Renaissance movements would wholly approve of the off-center homages on Etsy. Looking for inspiration? This week's Keep it Weird is a crash course in the …
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 …
Keep it Weird: Bone Thugs
With Halloween a week away and Dia de los Muertos swiftly following, there's no better time to celebrate the internal structure of our bodies. When I come back from the dead, I hope I'll be pop and locking my fleshless limbs 'til they grind to a nice soft powder. The skulls and skeletons on Etsy must have drunk …

Okay, people, it's crunch time. There is only one weekend left between now and Halloween, and if you've been a delinquent with purchasing your Gaga hairbows or spider wings, Makezine's got you covered. Today's How-Tuesday is a Headless Marie Antoinette Costume from Nicole Magne. I love how this ensemble is …
