 I can’t stop watching this.

And that is all I have to say regarding this cutting edge piece of cozy couture…

…except that the FREE footies just might clinch the deal.

Thirty years ago Dermablend was created by a dermatologist as cosmetic skincare coverage for scars, skin discolorations due to illness or genetics, and spider veins.

Yeah.  Varicose veins.

Twenty years later Rick Genest decided that it would be neato to tattoo his entire body to look like a cadaver.

Yeah.  A dead body.

As Dermablend grew in popularity at cosmetic counters, doctor’s offices and website retailers, Rick’s popularity as a sideshow freak was also gaining him some internet attention.  Including a not so nice page set up specifically to call him out as a freak.

Yeah.  I guess that one backfired.

Rick now likes being called  Zombie Boy.  And I’m betting that he also likes being discovered by Lady Gaga, whose designer stumbled upon that not so nice page and turned Rick into an internet sensation.

After starring in Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” music video and doing some modeling, Zombie Boy is now part of a massive viral video advertising campaign for Dermablend.

Yeah.  Dermablend.  This one isn’t for your Grandma’s legs.

Regardless of your personal thoughts on tattoos, be they little butterflies or full body,  the Dermablend campaign is a must see piece of video art.  Based on the premise that you can’t judge a book by its cover, the ad more than lives up to its tag line.  Despite being a marketing tool, it has also started a world wide wedb discussion on what our own definitions of beauty are vs. what Madison Avenue tells us they should be.

Check out the Go Beyond The Cover site for even more of the story.

Sorry, but I’m gonna have to pass on dessert.  I’m stuffed.

Literally.

I’m not even sure what to say about this one, except that sometimes I just love the internet so much it hurts my head.

Just in time for holiday shopping, the guys down at Ojai Taxidermy have given us a commercial that is destined for greatness.  Located in beautiful California, not only can the guys gut and stuff you some seriously bug eyed home decor, but they also know how to make the kind of viral masterpiece that will make you want to run out to Walmart right now and try on some huntin’ gear.

If you’ve already got a slab of deer hanging out back on the shed door, check out their site for more info on how to give the gift of eternal life.  The pricing appears to follow the same guidelines that strip clubs adhere to…full mount with open mouth costs more.

I swear.  You can’t make this stuff(ed) up.
