May the Force be in you.*
Like Star Wars? Like having sex with things other than another human being? Then do we have a project for you this weekend.
Don’t ask how we found it, but we’ve unearthed some long lost instructions on how to make your very own lightsaber dildo (or as the creator calls it, presumably because he has a deep respect for copyright laws, laser sword dildo).
‘How the frick do I make this?’ we hear you cry. Well…
RAINBOW COLOURED DORITOS EXIST!
We can’t be the only ones losing our minds of this, can we?
We’ve all grown up in a world with multi-coloured sweets, TV and even hair, but crisps? Well, this is next level.
And best of all, Doritos Rainbows aren’t just a pretty face. They’re game-changing crisps are actually all in aid of a very good cause, with 100 per cent of the price of each bag going to the It Gets Better Project – an organisation which supports LGBT youths all over the world.
Well Kate Middleton’s really gone and done it this time. She’s really messed up. She’s only gone and got a sodding fringe, hasn’t she.
Getting a fringe always seems like a good idea at the time. It’ll look cute. It’ll frame your face nicely. It’ll mean you’ll basically be able to give zero f*cks about the rest of your hair, because as everyone knows, as long as your bangs are banging you don’t have to worry about the rest.
But that’s the problem. Because in reality, in the big bad world, where it rains, and you sweat, and you can’t be arsed to wash your hair every goddam day, keeping a fringe looking salon-fresh is basically impossible.
The Duchess of Cambridge and her fringe were out and about today visiting a new centre for mental health care in North London – but it looked like her fringe didn’t want to be there as much as she did.
Kate may have a team of hairstylists to make sure her fringe is on fleek before she leaves the house, but once she leaves her glam squad back at the Palace, she and The Fringe are on their own.
And, as anyone with a fringe will tell you, Read the full story
Your tattoo doesn’t just last for life – it lasts forever.
Or at least it can do now, thanks to the new service offered by the National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art (NAPSA).
It’s as creepy as it sounds – your dead tattooed skin can be removed by the funeral home and then preserved with chemicals by NAPSA, before being sent back to your loved ones.
They can then hang your no longer decomposing flesh on their walls as a reminder of your life long passion for ink.
Charming.
Clearly anything goes as art these days, because people have been buying an artist’s paint-splattered carpets thinking they were legit masterpieces.
Sorry folks, they really were just carpets covered in spilled paint.
Gipsy Hill Workshops allegedly sold them off claiming they were works by Angela Hartigan, an artist who formerly painted at the studios in Crystal Palace.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘I paint on the floor and I use drips and spills and throw the paint. I’m well known in south London as an artist.’
‘There was some kind of yard sale at the Gipsy… Read the full story
Do you hate humanity? Or perhaps you just want to piss the world off?
Then why not do one of these during your daily commute?
When it seems like your trips to and from work are becoming a chore, feel powerful by annoying your fellow passengers just enough that they hate you but not enough that they’ll say anything.
But, of course, there’s degrees of annoying – time and a place and all that.
Here’s the 21 most annoying things you can do on your train commute, ranked.
21. Sit in an aisle seat and put your bag on the empty seat next to you.
20. Listen to your music loudly.
19. Listen to one Basshunter song, really loudly,… Read the full story
Apparently cheeseburgers have their own day now, and it’s today.
It’s cute that whoever comes up with these days thinks we need an excuse to eat cheeseburgers, but never mind.
Here’s our pick of London’s gooiest, sloppiest, cheesiest creations.
1. Mac Daddy Burger, Dirty Bones (£10)
The Mac Daddy may sound suspiciously similar to one of the world’s most famous burgers, but the similarities end there; this creation, nay, work of art, is enough to make the Hamburglar hang up his hat forever.
Pulled beef short rib and a mini-mountain of mac and cheese sit proudly atop a 6oz beef… Read the full story
Shakespeare was a pretty wise guy, but we’re not convinced he was right when he wrote that ‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’.
Some words are just more beautiful than others and, like it or not, these names change the way we view the object.
Thanks to one inquisitive Reddit user, we now know some of the most beautiful words in different languages from around the world.
Of course, it is Reddit so there are few oddballs thrown in but, by and large, these words either are either a delight said out loud or have a poetic meaning.
Here are some of the top voted phrases:
Nothing lasts forever. Not even BFFs.
When 22-year-old Asif Raza Rana felt that he’d come to the end of the road with his best friend Mudasir Ismail Ahmad, he wanted to make it official.
So he did what any normal adult would do, and created an epic Facebook post to publicly announce the end of his friendship with Mudasir, and decree Mudasir’s replacement – one Salman Ahmad Naqash.
The post, which is most notable for a WordArt adorned picture featuring Asif shaking hands with Salman with crossed out pictures of Mudasir in the corners – harsh – was accompanied by a full explanation of exactly what went wrong.
Dear America,
You can keep your deep fried Oreos and peanut butter bacon bites, because Parc Lane Fish and Chips on Queen Street, Cardiff, are now selling deep fried Cadbury Double Decker bars for a quid each, and it’s the most gloriously British thing ever.
The chippy first experimented with sticking things other than fish and chips in their fryer at Easter, when they started selling deep fried Cadbury Crème Eggs.
Since then they’ve gone all-out (in a typically understated and lacklustre most British of way), and have battered a different choccy bar a… Read the full story
Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder.
One in every 100 with anorexia who have sought treatment die each year, and up to 20 per cent over a 20 year period will die as a result of complications of the illness and suicide.
Yet this life-threatening illness is still so frequently trivialised.
Anorexia is often dismissed as faddy eating gone too far or a lifestyle choice of the young and privileged.
Some people believe anorexics are just attention seeking, or that they are slimming to look like celebrities.
Others just blame the parents.
None of which accurately describes the serious and complex mental illness anorexia actually is.

What’s the best way to get even if someone has MAJORLY pissed you off?
Send them a watercolour postcard with a cute animal on of course.
But this time, these cute animals are seriously bitchy.
From ‘you got fat’, ‘nobody loves you’, and ‘I effing hate you’ to the more creative ‘I wish your dreams were dinosaurs, all big and dead’, these animals don’t hold back.
The postcards were designed by illustrator Phung Nguyen Quang and can be brought from here and here.
God help your enemies.
Here’s some of the best:
Not your average OOTD.
When 34-year-old mother-of-one Lisa Rossiter was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to put up a fight, and fashion was her biggest ally.
Lisa, who lives in Perth with her husband Greg and son Wynter, was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 33.
The diagnosis was sudden and devastating, but Lisa knew that the best thing she could do – other than start treatment asap – was stay positive.
And the way she decided to do that was through fashion.
On the first day of chemotherapy Lisa wore a very un-hospitaly bright yellow sheer panelled skirt, which she posted on Instagram with the message ‘Sunshine yellow… Read the full story
Maybe you came here for uni. Maybe you moved here to pursue your dreams. Maybe you were born here.
However you got to London, you’re in it for the long haul now.
But how long is too long?
Here are a few signs that you’ve spent more than your fair share of time Under the Big Smoke.
1. You can’t remember the last time you looked up at the sky and saw stars.

We’re calling it; this is a game changer.
Do you ever get sad that toast is simply not tropical enough? Are you so OVER chocolate spread, that you can’t remember ever being under it?
Well then my friend you’re in luck, as Mars have just this second launched a mind-blowingly left field new Bounty bar spread. Seriously guys, we did not see this coming.
The spread is milk based and is studded with scrummy coconut flakes. There is, however, no chocolate involved. Not a sniff of the stuff. Which IOHO is a brave move, because as everyone knows, everything is better when chocolate’s involved.
Still, we’ll definitely be giving this exotic little number a go. The only question is, what should we spread it… Read the full story
Lately the fashion world’s become food obsessed.
We’ve had McDonald’s from Moschino, a Chanel show in a supermarket and handbags as milk cartons and fried eggs from Skinnydip.
The question is – has eating finally become fashionable?
Fashion designer Rommy Kuperus, aka Rommy de Bommey from the Netherlands, has taken this trend one step further.
She makes and designs handbags, earrings and accessories in the very life-like form of almost every food you can think of.
Available on Etsy, her quirky handbag designs include a baguette clutch, Percy Pig bag and bags in the form of whole rotisserie chicken, a Nutella jar, pizza, fries, bubblegum and even a plate of salad.
On her website Romy says: ‘My designs are full of energy, a… Read the full story
Ah, good sex.
We all want it, but getting it is another matter entirely and, unlike Carrie Bradshaw, most of us are afraid to ask for what we need.
It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of misconceptions about women and getting it on.
Some people mistakenly think women have lower libidos and others believe they don’t orgasm as often as men.
To set the record straight, fertility app Kindara conducted research in the quest to find out what’s the most important thing for women when it comes to good sex.
Over half the women surveyed said that the most important thing was emotional connection, even… Read the full story
Some bright spark at the fast food chain has only just claimed to have done the unthinkable – improved on the classic Big Mac.
‘But how?!’ we hear you cry.
By making it bigger and adding bacon, that’s how.
Adding bacon makes everything better, we agree.
But we can’t help but think McDonald’s has got a little carried away when describing the new burger in the promo video.
The video explains: ‘Imperfect curved lines. Totally untouchable. An incredible size: 4.5 inches. Ready in 10 delicious minutes. Made with double 100% beef. And a world first advance: Bacon.’
Bacon. And cheese. In a burger. Hardly a world first now is it Maccy’s?
We all know your perfectly framed Instagram photo is a complete and utter lie.
Instagram’s mini square world may have beautiful blue skies, manicured breakfasts and artfully arranged objects, but it’s all fakery.
Thai photographer Chompoo Baritone has created a series of photos to show what’s really going on outside the box of lies.
Cross the lines into reality and the world isn’t quite so dreamy: skies are greyer, rooms are messier and people aren’t as good at yoga as they’d have you believe.
By placing… Read the full story
