Featured Oddity Death by Chocolate
January 13, 2010 - 12:49 pm
Ask anyone and they will tell you that I love things that look like things but are actually other things. Like Chocolate Weapons. I’m not a huge fan of actual guns, bullets or grenades. And I hope to never see any of these things up close ever in my lifetime. But the idea of chocolate anything peeks my interest, add the intriguing shapes of destruction and well, I think they just might have something here.
Oddity Urban Exploration The Witch’s House: Beverly Hills 90666!
November 2, 2009 - 11:01 am
Around Halloween, the inhabitants of all those cozily, carefully-shrouded McMansions in Beverly Hills turn their eyes to the scariest thing in town: the Witch House, which looks like something like a cross between the Gingerbread House in Hansel and Gretel, and a hobbit home in Rivendell. It was built in the 1920s for a bunch of silent, and presumably creepy, films — hey, it was used in the Alicia Silverstone movie Clueless! — before finally being relocated to Beverly Hills. Unfortunately it’s not something open to public view, so the best you can hope for is a drive-by, or, for the particularly brave, a nosy peek through the windows.

Gallery Oddity Treasure Hunting at Gold Bug
October 2, 2009 - 2:22 pm
Gold Bug is a deco and curiosity shop tucked behind Old Town Pasadena’s main drag, just a block off of Colorado Boulevard. Brimming with entomological rarities, heart-stopping artisan jewelry, toys, knick-knacks, spider-adorned dishes and hilarious taxidermy, this place is a total treasure trove. Forget kid in a candy-store, when I walked in here I felt like Marie entering the magical kingdom in The Nutcracker [really]. It’s easy to get lost amidst gilded walnuts stacked in candy dishes beside brass jumbo teeth and towering old-school hourglasses, delicate golden keys hanging in bunches from porcelain display hands and stacks of tin crowns inviting customers to play dress-up. Though the prices can get a bit steep, the merchandise is precisely the kind you’d actually want to save up for. Perfect example: a huge oxidized silver ring with shimmering blue butterfly wings under glass. In the words of Garth: “One day, it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.”

June 9, 2009 - 9:14 am
For those of you into the Supercross scene you are well aware of James Stewart Jr., better known as James “Bubba” Stewart, and as seen above, alter ego, “Rick” James Stewart. For those of you not in the know I’m about to school you, Stewart is really the first black supercross athlete who has pretty much dominated just about every race he’s competed in.
Stewart won the 2009 Monster Energy® AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season finale in Las Vegas. On the winner’s stand he was presented with a one of a kind, custom, Guitar Hero Guitar.
