Marie Antoinette did not look like this.

All girls know that Halloween is an opportunity to look hot, not scary. Many surpass just trying to look attractive, and go straight into the provocative, trampy and obscene categories.

Well, all of the above options are available at Trashy.com. Whether you’re looking for a cheap cheerleader outfit or something more insane, they have it. It’s divided into Trashy bargain costumes and Trashy Costumes, which are practically couture.

The above costume, worn in “The Girls Next Door” by Holly Madison for her Marie Antoinette-themed birthday party, is over $1100. You can snatch up everything from her headress to cameo necklace and shoe clips here.


Smell Phones

Our sense of smell is the number one way to trigger a memory, which is why we do everything we can to make ourselves smell absolutely delicious. We buy special scented shampoo, candy lip gloss, that enticing perfume because the commercial said it would attract the perfect guy, vanilla body lotion and powder fresh deodorant. I mean even men are buying Axe Body Gel because it promises to have the girls literally clinging to you. So why not have that one thing that never leaves our side, and is in some cases attached to our face, be intoxicatingly scented?

That is why Sony has released its Scented DoCoMo SO703i cell phone, which comes with an aroma sheet of 11 different choices, each lasting up to three months. All you do is slide in the replaceable scented strip located near the central hinge and voila! Your cute little cell phone is now more than just eye-candy.

Mouthwash, perfume and astringent keep your teeth, body and face fresh, but there is little in America to turn to when your eyes feel dirty.

A huge hit in Japan, these Hard Minty Eyedrops refresh you and wet your pupes when you’re dry and tired.

A friend of ours tried them out and told us it’s like eating eye Altoids. Administer in one, and the other side of your face feels dirty until evened out with another drop.

Elevate your entire face to a whole new level of fresh.

See the above items? They’re pretty cool-looking, I think a lot of us would agree. Mysterious vintage Dior glasses, an Arabic ring and a pimped-out £100,000 icy Rolex.

Well get this- they were Saddam Hussein’s, and you can buy them. That is, if it totally doesn’t creep you out.

We think the former dictator’s assistant, the guy cashing in on this weird crap, will be hard-pressed to find any takers. He claims these pieces were all given to him by the tool, and is selling a whole collection to raise money for Iraqi schools. What do you think? How much money would you drop on Saddam bling?

Fluffy, despite her beautiful long coat, gets cold during the winter. Isn’t it upsetting to see her shivering in the cold? It’s too bad all the dog coats on the market are just so hideous. Luxury dogwear lovers, you’re in luck.

Vivienne Westwood, Ben de Lisi and jeweler Issa have created a fall/winter luxury dog line, to be shown in couture shows for canines. This amazing £2,500 dog jacket is made of white diamonds and small sapphires. Sold in the store’s specialist pet departments and after couture shows, this collared coat won’t help your pet feel warm.

But she sure will look hot.


Pity-Free

Every person has a TV obsession they are a little embarrassed of. For some it’s the crazy Camdens on 7th Heaven, some just can’t get enough of Tyrant Banks and Top Model, and The Hills on MTV has taken over many of our Monday evenings. There’s nothing worse than watching two hours of Idol alone and having nobody to share your pure Simon Cowell jubilation with.

But you aren’t as alone as you think you are.

Television Without Pity is an online community for the TV-obsessed. There are hilarious and detailed recaps of the hottest shows, providing pitch-perfect insight to episodes. What’s even better are the hundreds of forums- people stay up to the wee hours of the morning reading eachother’s opinions of everything, from personalities, to conspiracies, to random observations. In one hour, you can research Project Runway designers, read Dancing with the Stars critiques, unfold Lost and 24 spoilers and check in on dirty gossip about The Bachelor.

And thankfully for you, there are still other people who think about Dark Angel and Felicity.

Britney Spears. Just when you think she’s hit rock bottom, she shaves her head bald, loses her kids to K.Fed, and applies to work in a bar. Seriously.

But for some reason, her single is still #1 on itunes. It probably has nothing to do with her and a lot to do with the people on the other side of the recording booth, but the world still loves her music. Now you can listen to her whole leaked album, thanks to a tip from a sneaky little designer upstairs.

Enjoy!

Parts of the country are already dealing with crisp Autumn weather, and some of us are still facing the arctic cold air conditioning of our office buildings. Regardless, we can all find use for thick fur protection.

This insanely awesome Eugenia Kim hat from Shopbop keeps drafts off your neck and your outfits in vogue. Though this ultra-glam sheared mink piece costs a hefty $913, it certainly will turn heads.

Towards your icy cold cubicle.

Your sandals and flops are migrating, as they do each fall, to their second home in the back of your closet. We all know what that means- boots and shoes are moving in! I think we all agree that it’s pretty gross to go sockless in most fall shoes.

Portland-based Sock Dreams has a flurry of every foot-cover you can imagine, including sweater-ey tights, cable-knit stockings, regular socks, printed socks, toe socks, striped socks, lycra socks, plaid tubes, silver tights, knee-highs, thigh-highs, scrunchy socks, lace anklets, leg warmers, argyle socks, fishnets, pantyhose, cashmere, nylon, fuzzy and fleece. They also have quite the selection for the men in our lives.

Basically, you’re in store for a crazy sock extravaganza.


Pimp My Golf Cart

You hit the golf course occasionally, but hate all that walking. So much work, so little action. Not much better is the traditional golf cart, which looks about as cool now as it did in 1976. Maybe if your golf transportation had a sweet grille on it you’d be more likely to join your dad and his friends on the course each week.

Our favorite airplane distraction SkyMall has quite the golf ride. This Cadillac Escalade cart comes complete with a fiberglass body, marine-grade vinyl seats, custom paint and chrome mirrors. Trick it all the way out with the optional 15″ rims, AM/FM/CD Stereo, Custom hard top and frame, chrome tilt steering wheel column, Billet Grille and, oh yeah, golf bag holder and hitch.

Just resist the urge to film your debut hip-hop video in it.
