Red Cup Koozie

Even better than this little invention is the description from the store. (perpetualkid.com)

Yes, the red cups at the party are iconic but they don’t do much for keeping your beverage cold and your hands dry! We’re guessing it’s because of the little scientific thing about your hand being warm and there’s only a thin slice of plastic separating your body heat from your beverage.
With our Red Cup Koozie, you can place your beverage can or bottle into an insulated red cup to keep it ice cold and your hands warm and dry!.. while still looking cool!
Let’s face it, it’s never a real party without the big red party cups and you’re keeping that dream alive… till someone yells out, “who let my python out!?!”

Bent Objects creator, Terry Border, celebrates his own personal holiday on June 21st each year. It's "Strangely Orange Snack Day" and he spends it eating orange foods. This year he's also created an orangey-delicious homage to Rodin's sculpture, "The Kiss." I'd say he nailed it!

Kumi Yamashita's Shadow Origami

She's taken shadows from real people, and using one solid piece of paper, made them replicate that shadow! All she's done is "rumple" the paper's edge and manipulate the light...man, that's serious skill. Check out her web page here.

Sand Sculptures by JOOheng Tang

The message is wonderful: Dirt is good, especially when it's the result of your kids going out into the world to explore, create, and have fun." The commercial was for laundry soap, but the advertising sand sculptures are gallery-quality. Click the images to see the fine detail.
