Whoever said LEGO was for boys obviously hasn’t seen the LEGO purse (which I’d like to buy, if only they weren’t so expensive!) and these LEGO stilettos or stiLEGOs, for short.
This colorful pair of footwear was made by artist Finn Stone, who took a pair of boring stilettos and stuck multi-colored LEGO bricks all over them.
It’s a great conversation starter and a pair you can actually wear, if you dare.
Finn’s not selling the pair he made, but you can make your own pair with some LEGO bricks and some super glue. Though you might have a hard time finding a shoe as big as this one:

The Evolution of Function to Form
Posted in: Today's ChiliEverything is created for a purpose, regardless of whether that purpose is useful or pointless. But when 100 or 1000 identical things come together, they bring about a new purpose no one had ever imagined, and art emerges. English artist Laurence Poole understands and manipulates the evolution of everyday things into art that intrigues and inspires.
A fun way to temporarily color your hair is with chalk pastels. You can
buy pastels that are sold specifically for hair, or you can use the
chalk pastels sold in art stores. They are much the same. Just make sure
that you don’t mix them up with oil pastels or your hair color won’t be
so temporary and a whole lot messier.
Need A Buzz? Grow Your Own Coffee!
Posted in: Today's ChiliYou don’t have to move to Latin America or Africa to grow your own coffee. You can do it right there in the comfort of your home with a Grow Your Own Coffee kit. You won’t exactly be giving Starbucks a run for the money, but it is a fun idea for coffee addicts and caffeine addicted gardeners. Since Starbucks just raised its prices maybe it is time for you to drink the brew you grew.
What’s your favorite memory? Your first kiss? The first time you brought your baby home? The times you’ve spent with your dog? You’ve already immortalized them in photos, and now you can enjoy them in a totally different way thanks to Lets Cafe’s Latte Printer.
It’s perfect for morning surprises and random pick-me-up cups of coffee for someone who’s near and dear to you.
Lets Cafe is a Taiwan coffee chain and they’ve recently unveiled the Latte Printer in their stores. The printer basically uses a range of colored cocoa powder to ‘print’ your chosen images onto the foam of your coffee.
Lets Cafe hopes this newest addition to their shops will draw more customers away from larger and more popular chains like Starbucks.

Because dogs don’t have to deal with work, other people and taking care of dogs, you can’t always match your pet’s enthusiasm and energy. But you can’t just leave your buddy hanging right? That’s why Grant and Denny Hamill invented the iFetch. Contrary to its name, this device throws balls for pets to fetch. And as far as some dogs are concerned, that’s all you’re good for anyway.
