Peacock Armchair
Yes’s: 89 No’s: 24This armchair by Cappellini is impressively constructed out of a single piece of felt. We’re not sure how it’s strong enough to hold a person, but we’re guessing it must be, or who would buy it? Tell us what you think: would you love to see this in your living room, or is it better left in a showroom?

Walking through the streets of New York, Dallas stumbled upon this little sailor dress. If you’re into that whole nautical look, this piece is a definite must-have.

Terrorist Teapot
Yes’s: 215 No’s: 66Who says the Balaclava is only for extremist high jacking or a good ‘ol Canadian winter? It’s also the perfect accessory for your tea kettle! Yes, the Terrorist Teapot will be a lovely accent at your next in-law brunch….subliminally telling your ‘rents that you mean business—jihad style!*The Balaclava tea cozy will keep your kettle warm while idle, but is removable for when you are feeling a little less creepy.

Liquid Lamp
Yes’s: 106 No’s: 33Created by Kyouei Design, these lamps appear to be melting off the wall, or dripping something nasty. Tell us what you think: Are they a cool optical illusion, or do they look suspiciously like spilled milk (or worse)?

Glow in the Dark Graffiti
Yes’s: 214 No’s: 77Build on your street cred in the comforts of your very own home! No, Glow in the Dark Graffiti is not for the seasoned taggers amoung us, but rather yuppies who want to appear “dangerous” at their next house party! It glows in the dark, but you need to use the provided sheet material to get the effect, and the image only lasts for 30 seconds max before fading into obscurity. Tell us what you think; Is this cutting edge art or just a piece of sheet?
Designer Women’s Weapons
Yes’s: 177 No’s: 67If Paris Hilton were to ‘pack some heat’, it would probably look like something like this.

iKaraoke

Tell us what you think; Is this the most Bitchin’ product ever or will you continue to blast your music full force and stand in front of the mirror with a hairbrush like the rest of the poor people have done for decades.
One-night-only restaurants
Yes’s: 91 No’s: 36Trend Alert! Is it a secret restaurant? An underground foodie gathering? A chance to branch out from the menu?

One-night-only restaurants have been sprouting all around Manhattan and Brooklyn, taking over from already established spots and bringing in a completely new chef, menu and clientele. Tell us what you think; Looking forward to a one-night-only restaurant to pop up in a neighborhood near you or do one night stands belong in the bedroom—NOT the kitchen?
