Nerdy Candles: Tryin’ to Catch Me Lightin’ Nerdy

If there’s one thing geeks love as much as video games, it’s setting things on fire. And while these nerdy candles won’t give off the kind of a lightshow you might get from fireworks, they’re a nice way to bring a little mood lighting to your nerdy pad.

Rox and Tom over at Frostbeard Studio came up with this handmade line of candles inspired by games, movies and comics from geek culture. Each candle is made from clean-burning soy, and scented with pleasant aromas like apple clover, cedar mint, rosemary, pineapple sage, or other welcoming, non-granny scents. The line of candles includes simple jars in color and scent themes like Zelda Potions, Adventure Time, Doctor Who and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

They’ve also got a “Level Two” line of candles with little nerdy ceramic sculptures hiding inside the jars, including Han Solo, a Baby Metroid, dinosaur bones or Cthulhu among other things. Oh, and Han Solo is “carbonite” scented – which is designed to smell cool, clean and metallic. Sounds about right to me.

Or you can level up to one of their nifty handmade ceramic candles in the shape of a Poké Ball, Bob-omb or a Piranha Plant. Bob-omb has a slightly smoky scent, and the Piranha Plant smells like clover and aloe. You can choose from Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle or Pikachu scents for the Poké Ball. Gotta smell ‘em all!

These Shoes Are Literally Bad-Ass: Disney Villainess High Heels

Disney Villain High Heels

Think your heels are bad? Then you obviously haven’t seen designer Kobi Levi‘s series of handmade high heels featuring none other than the villains from some of Disney’s most popular franchises, starting with Snow White. I’m sure you’ve recognized the Evil Queen’s face painted on the peep-toe high heels in the image above by now.

Check out a side-view of the shoes after the jump to see just how fierce they are. We’ve also got Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and Ursula from The Little Mermaid after that view to tickle your fancy further.

I’d have to say that the Ursula shoes are just too creepy for me. What do you think?

The GripClip Lets Glass Wearers Pull The Ole “Pencil Behind The Ear” Look

GripClip

There are times in life when placing you pen and pencil behind your ear is essential. Pulling off the nerdy look, for instance. Or, you know, actually having your writing tool handy. But wearing glasses can cramp your style and make it impossible to do, hence the need for something like the GripClip. It’s a soft piece of plastic that clips onto the arm of your glasses on the one side, and grips a variety of objects on the others, including pens. The soft nature of the plastic does mean that it can hold on to other stuff, like… lighters or an iPhone. Would you wear an iPhone on the side of your head? Why not? Wearing a pen there is bad enough, so wh not go a step further? Got something against the douchey look?

Regardless of how you feel about the GripClips potential use as more than a penholder, know that you can get yours with a pledge to the Kickstarter campaign of as little as $5.

Portal Undies and Knee-High Socks Physically Get You in the Game

Portal Socks

What better way to play Portal than to deck yourself out in themed garb? Obviously, you don’t need to, but I think it’s a little funner that way. The love that some people have for their favorite games inspires them to come up with designs revolving around the themes of the game, like these knee-high Portal 2 socks and undies.

You won’t survive any long falls even if you’ve got these socks on, but at least you’ll good in the process.

Portal Panties

To be honest, I’m more privy to these Portal undies. It’s design obviously came from the Companion Cube that you can use to solve puzzles in the game. And while it won’t really help you solve any puzzles in real life, it’s still pretty cute all the same.

The socks retail for $11.99 while the undies are priced at $12.99.

Anatomical Barbie Looks Cool But Might Freak Your Kids Out

Koen Hauser gave his subjects the anatomical treatment and his human models couldn’t look any creepier. Now it’s Barbie’s turn.

In the eyes of many kids (mostly girls), she’s the perfect doll. She’s pretty, she’s sexy, and she’s got a hunky boyfriend named Ken. And she’s “human” too – well, sort of.

Anatomical BarbieShe won’t come to life, but artist Jason Freeny shows everyone that she’s got a skeleton and intestines just like you and I do. But is it just me, or is anatomical Barbie still prettier than the average anatomical human?

This hand-sculpted model of Barbie with her insides showing on one side is Freeny’s latest handiwork and it looks pretty awesome, don’t you think? Prints available in his shop.
