"Alien" Power Loader Halloween Costume

Alien Power Loader Halloween costumeThis "Alien" power loader Halloween costume is...  uh...  incredible. 

Ben Hallert created his own power loader costume and kept an online journal of his progress.  He also included tons of pictures from start to finish. 

Sorry, a tough chick isn't kicking alien butt with this power loader -- You'll have to watch the movie for that.

If you're interested in building your own power loader try this one on for size -- tough chick included.

Louis Vuitton Jack & Lucie keyringIf you feel like wasting your money on overpriced, useless merchandise have I got the keyring for you... 

Check out Louis Vuitton's Jack & Lucie keyring.  Supposedly, these limited edition keyrings are sold out everywhere, but I did find one available in Singapore for $310.  What a steal!

Custom Disney inspired carved pumpkins

incredibles2.jpgMy parents were in town this past weekend and dad was very psyched to carve some custom pumpkins for his grandson.  Dad reminds me of a Filipino Mr. Miyagi because of his wisdom and many talents, although, he is lacking in the martial arts area.  I may be biased, but these pumpkins are pretty cool.

The first pumpkin that he carved was "Incredibles" inspired.  The pumpkin has the "Incredibles" emblem as well as Zach's name which represents the mouth of the pumpkin.

poomba3.jpgThe second pumpkin he carved was "Lion King" inspired.  He carved the image of "Lion King" character Poomba (the wart hog or wild boar -- what is he exactly?).

You can view more pictures of the works in progress here.
