Really? This Again?: Ladies C-3PO Swimsuit
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010The makers of the R2-D2 swimsuit have decided to follow-up with a C-3PO swimsuit, which I’m guessing was motivated not-so-much by, “Hey, you know what’s sexy? Angular, metal pectorals and a lot of exposed wiring.” …and more by, “Hey, remember when collective internets metaphorically–and sometimes literally–fapped itself into a foamy-mouthed frenzy over our R2-D2 swimsuit?

May the Force Be with Nom: Star Wars Cupcakes
Friday, December 11th, 2009Liz M. of Artisan Cake Company in Keizer, Oregon, sent me the deets on these delightful Star Wars cupcakes she made for some kid who definitely didn’t share these with me. ‘Cause I would have remembered that.
