vampires — jane @ 1:11 am
I’ve always got my eye out for something scary or funny and if it’s scary and funny I have to have it. I am the dream impulse buyer. If only most of the stores knew what sorts of items to put in the checkout line that would attract me. Of course that brings up another subject for me. Why, oh why can’t there be a store that just caters to my interests? You know, The Scary Jane Store. I would be there all the time. I’d spend all of my money there. I would constantly promote them on here. It would be a goldmine! Come on all of you entrepreneurs. Start this baby up. I would do it, but I already have my own business. There just isn’t enough hours in the day. So, it’s up to you to make my dream a reality. Anyway, back to what I was writing about. I was in a little gift store last weekend and came across these Cold Blooded Ice Cube Trays in the checkout line. Of course I grabbed them without even looking at the price. After I paid for my purchases and nervously looked at the receipt I found that it was a little more than I would want to pay, but still worth it. Anything to make my Bloody Mary even more bloody. This little coffin shaped tray makes 5 sets of vampire teeth. I tried it out immediately and they came out really good. The only problem being that you only get 5 at a time. So, if you are making them for a party you’d better get started early. I looked around online and found that you could buy them for only $8 on Amazon. I think I might order more from them. If you are still busy planning your idea for The Scary Jane Store I would suggest getting these in the store first.

I love clocks. I’ve always been fascinated by how they work. I used to take them apart as a kid and try to build my own with a spooky twist. Now it’s not so much fun since most are made with batteries. I still scope out the antique shops and ebay for them, but they have become quite collectable and therefore more expensive. My love goes back to the fact that I’m a freak about getting places on time. I absolutely hate to be late (no rhyme intended). We all have our issues. I just happen to have quite a few of them. I was trolling around online for clocks and came across this funky Spiderweb Clock. This time somebody already did the work for me and made it spooky. I think it’s great! The one thing I would change, if I could, would be that the spider be attached to the minute hand. I’m a picky bitch though, so I’ll let that one go. Makes a perfect kitchen clock. I have so many clocks in our house, so I’m not sure I have room for it. Also don’t know if I can convince my family that we are in dire need of another clock.

You know those stupid t-shirts they sell in beach towns? You know, the ones where it shows the sexy girl/guy in a bathing suit and their bodies are perfect? I hate those! Especially since the people I see wearing them are always old fat people. Apparently when you hit the AARP years it’s standard attire while visiting a resort. I guess I probably thought it was funny the first time I saw it. This Skeleton Apron reminded me of those t-shirts, but so much better. These aprons are the creepy, cooler version. I would never be attracted to someone wearing one of those t-shirts, but if you wore this apron I might just jump your bones.

Winery — jane @ 8:18 pm
Apparently I’ve been hiding under a rock for quite some time because I completey missed this. I do like it under there, though. So dark and quiet. I might just head back there because it’s scary out here and not the good kind. Anyway, I was at the liquor store buying a gift for someone and I found this Pure Evil wine. I’ve never seen it before! Their slogan is “Perfectly Wrong”. Gotta love that. Should be my slogan. I did some research and found out that it came out in 2005. The winery that produces it has actually gone bankrupt, but it’s still available all over the place, so I’m not sure what’s up with that. I bought the chardonnay and it really tastes good. It gets great reviews online and it sells quite cheaply. I only paid $8.99. So go get a bottle and see what Pure Evil tastes like. I sound like a commercial. Yikes! Just try it already.

soap — jane @ 5:54 pm
So you think you have the ultimate creepy bathroom with the bloody shower curtain and rug, a razorblade mirror, the skull toilet brush and the skull towel holder? I bet you don’t have the ultimate scary soap. I’ve searched long and hard over the years for a good scary soap and I was actually rewarded today when I found this Skull Soap. It’s black and it features a scary ass skull on it. What more could you want? Well, for it to be available in the US would make me happy. This little rockin’ bar of soap made by Night Moth is only available in the UK for roughly $6.19, but that’s before shipping. They make other scary soaps such as Necronomicon, a coffin, R.I.P., a bat and even a gothic cherub. Really cool soap, I must say. Wouldn’t it be cool if they lathered up in black too? Or even red?
As usual a trip over to the Hot Topic website rewards me with a cool new find. They have a Bloody Hands Water Bottle that is just too cool. Got me thinking though. Why bother buying one for $7.99 when you can make your own? How many of us have been left with bloody hands after a night of fun? Why not find one of your own water bottles you probably have lying around and wipe those bloody hands on it. Let it dry and ta da! You have your very own Bloody Water Bottle personalized just for you. Every time you take a sip you’ll be reminded of that fun and crazy night. If you find yourself with bloody hands often, why not make some for your family and friends for Christmas? Just don’t bother making me one because I have plenty of my own.

I have found a new artist/designer that I am absolutely in love with. Her name is Georgina Brett Chinnery and the name of her company is Bombarock. Of course, as usual, the company is based in the UK where I am convinced all of the people with good taste or at least scary taste live. Ms. Chinnery started the company in 2006 as an upholstery and design business. Although now she mainly works in leather pieces she has some amazing fabric pieces that are just to die for. Bombarock produces anything from chairs to ironing board covers to aprons. Hard to narrow down what is my favorite, but the Bat Apron and the Skull Chair rank pretty high up there. I just love a designer that has some real style and originality.
So, I’m upset today. I’m also the biggest klutz ever. I went to get my coffee as usual this morning and as I was getting my favorite mug out it just slipped from my hands and broke. I swear it was like it was greased up or something. It was a really cool mug shaped like a skull. I’ve been looking to replace it today, but have not seen the same one yet. I’ve had it for many years, so they may not make it anymore. There are other skull shaped mugs, but not as neat as mine was. Even though this isn’t skull shaped I found a really creepy mug online that I fell in love with (at right), but it does not seem to be available anymore. Anyone know where I can get one of these? Anyone seen any creepy mugs online that you can point me to? I can’t just drink out of my plain black mugs every day. This mug fit me, it was my muse and I miss it.
I’ve seen many skull cakes over the years, but this one really takes the cake. Ha Ha! Anyway, it is actually the best one I’ve seen. Unfortunately, with this particular cake no one seems to know where it came from. It appears on many websites and a reader actually sent this one to me, but I can’t find anything out about it. I would love to know more. I particularly want to know if that is chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream inside. And what makes the shell? It just looks delicious.
*Thanks Lisa for the picture, but not the craving.
A reader sent this picture in to me. She said she was getting married and they were planning on doing a scary themed wedding. This is the cake design that they found online and are having copied by their bakery. I don’t know where this picture is from so I can’t give credit to anyone. I absolutely love this cake. I’ve seen scary themed wedding cakes before. A lot of people have been doing the whole Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride, but I applaud these two for going just plain scary and not relying on pre-made props. I love these movies as much as the next guy, but from what I’ve seen it’s pretty easy to throw that kind of wedding. From her description they are doing it all themselves and I can totally get behind that! I almost wish Scary Hubby and I could do it again, so we could have this cake too.
*Thanks Dubus for the pic and yes I think it’s great…obviously.
