This Cake Only Slightly Stretches the Truth

Just in time to celebrate Portal: Still Alive coming to the Xbox Live Arcade later this year is this adorable new handmade charm that would be the perfect adornment to your favorite accessory. While the beloved Companion Cube typically basks in the glow of the spotlight, this time around it is the mouth-watering cake getting all the love. For only $4 you get a teeny tiny slice of the culinary treat and you even get to choose if you want the connecting loop on the top or the side. I think it’s safe to say this was a triumph. I’m making a note here, … oh forget it.

Let’s Play “Dress Up bs angel’s Ears”

I recently came to the startlingly realization that I need a new pair of earrings. My particular style, which I would classify as “completely and utterly geeky”, is not available in most stores so I tend to have my jewelry custom made. My favorite person to buy from is skybluebunny, who just happens to make the cutest, most detailed pieces ever out of polymer clay.

This time around I am yearning for Halo-themed earrings. My only design ideas at this point are either plasma grenades or spike grenades. Hopefully I wouldn’t end up taking myself out with those spike grenades; they actually look a little painful to dangle from my ears. All of you tend to be much more creative than I am so I am looking for a little help. What object from Halo 3 should I get made into a ridiculously cute pair of earrings?

No Love For the PlayStation

There is nothing I love more than wearing my video games around my neck. Sometimes I will even wear them in my nose. I have yet to wear them around my wrist though, but this bracelet just may change that.

This video game controller-themed bracelet features handmade polymer clay charms. Receiving some love on this adorable piece of jewelry are miniature versions of an Xbox 180 controller, an Xbox 360 controller, an NES controller, an Nintendo gun controller, a Wiimote, an X-plorer guitar, and an Atari joystick. Noticeably absent is anything even remotely PlayStation related. I guess it scores points for accuracy, eh?

Pull My Hair Back

Having your hair fall in your face during a frantic multiplayer video game session is detrimental to your ultimate goal of winning. The distraction caused by always having to tuck it behind your ear or brush it aside takes your hands off your controller during possible crucial times which is completely unacceptable. I refuse to miss a beatdown because my hair is blocking my view. These adorable hairclips help me stay focused on the game so I can accidentally betray my teammates to my heart’s content.

I purchased my Nintendo hairclips several months ago and they are by far my most used hair accessory. Thankfully the seller is good about keeping them stocked in her store so you can find them pretty easily. They are teeny tiny and not nearly as big as they look in the picture (they are perfect for pulling back just the top center section of your hair). I am wearing one of those hairclips in this picture (from a Monday Night Football game!) just to give you an idea of how much hair it can hold. Go stock up and never lose a game again because of the length of your hair. You may lose because your over zealous teammate keeps throwing grenades in an innocent attempt to help you when you are fighting an opponent but at least your hair will be held nicely off your face, right?

I Wear My Controller Around My Neck

I am strangely addicted to video game-themed jewelry, but you knew that already. Remember my beyond adorable Guitar Hero necklace? I loved it so much that I had to order another item from the same store, this time a custom pink Xbox 360 controller necklace.

Quality is just as high with this necklace as my last one. It is insanely detailed, down to the d-pads and the guide button. She attached colored beads (that coordinate with the button colors) to the side of it, a little touch that I simply love. This piece cost me about $20 total including shipping and handling, which is well worth it considering how often I sport it. Skybluebunny, the creative force behind these tiny gaming-themed pieces of jewelry, accepts custom orders so you can always send her a message via Etsy if you absolutely can’t live without something like this. I know I certainly can’t.
