Okay, I know I did a post yesterday on soap, but I had to write about this soap that one of my loyal readers alerted me to. These are Soap Fingers made by LoveLeeSoaps on Etsy and are watermelon scented. I have no idea what the connection to watermelon that fingers have except that you use your hands to eat watermelon. You get four realistic looking fingers for $5.00. It’s a great price, but I wonder if I could get a five-finger discount?
* Thanks Eugenie5 for the heads up!

Store — jane @ 5:19 pm
I’ve been on a soap kick lately. Actually more of a bath products kick. Ever since I was visiting Texas and went to a store in Dallas called Bath Junkie a couple of weeks ago. You can actually scent and color your own bath products! I had so much fun creating and discovering my own personal scent. The only down side? They didn’t have any red colorant. Unfortunately all of the colors were pretty pale and cutesy. My master bathroom is made up of browns, blacks and deep reds, so I ended up going with the kind of khaki color they had. I’m not particularly wild about their logo either come to think about it. I would have preferred something vintage looking, but that’s just me. I just wish there was a franchise near me. Anyway, I started looking around for some fun scary soap options and came across this Coffin Soap. Absolutely love it. It’s a little pricey at $5.75 a bar, but it would be more for display anyway. I could make a little soap graveyard display for my bathroom! It’s scented with their own Wicked Witch’s Brew fragrance, but you can also request something different. The only thing is… What does it say? Every time I study the picture I think it says something different. I know, I could just email them and ask, but I’m too lazy and what would be the fun in that? Let me know if you can figure it out.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a bit of a germaphobe. Movies like Contagion and Outbreak are just way too scary horrible for me. Those are just too over the top. I know, crazy right? I’m Scary Jane. I can’t be scared of anything, but I am scared of germs. After all my name isn’t Horrible Jane, though I know some of you may call me that. Anyway, I use hand sanitizer constantly. I keep a bottle in every room of the house, store, car etc. I have never and I repeat never seen a bottle of hand sanitizer that wasn’t just a boring old clear bottle or covered in flowers. Now remember, I am saying that I, Scary Jane, have never seen them. You may have and that’s bloody great, but I am just saying I haven’t (That’s for all you losers that email me complaining about the way I word things, my grammar etc.). Actually I never had a thought to look for anything different. About a month ago I was sent the link to these Scary Hand Sanitizers. They are made by Bath & Body Works. Apparently they have been making Halloween ones for a while now and I have just never seen them (see earlier comment above). They carry quite a few different styles including various bath products and even carry some that are more kid friendly.

I know I am not your garden variety girl. I just don’t like what your normal girl likes. Getting together with my girlfriends to get a manicure is not my idea of a good time. I don’t love pink, though I do love Pink. I don’t like ruffles, but I do like Ruffles. I really enjoy being funny, though. Anyway, I’m not a girly girl. I don’t squeal with delight and I never have. There is something that will make me get all excited. Anything with a skull on it, of course, but also things that should be girly like perfume and bubble bath that has a dark twist to it. I have a very bad habit of collecting unusual bath products. I don’t really even like taking baths or wearing perfume. My bathrooms are littered with various soaps, bubble bath, perfume etc that will never be used. I always open them to take a whiff, but then it gets closed back up and put on a shelf to be admired. The other day I got very excited when a reader sent me a link to the Tokyo Milk website. I fell in love with all of their products. The company’s product design is just awesome, but I especially liked their Dead Sexy line. I immediately ordered the bubble bath, perfume, soap and lotion. I can’t wait to not use them.

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?
A few months ago I blogged about some Baby Hand Soap that was really quite creepy. You’d think that would be the end of it, but happily no. I found another deliciously creepy Hand Soap, but this time it’s a grown-up hand and hangs on the wall of your shower. It doesn’t exist yet, but we can hope. It was designed during a research project at Berlin University of the Arts with a German company called Design Reaktor Berlin. This is a company that helps small businesses organize production, marketing and get distribution for their products. I think this would be oh so cool in my shower, but placement would be of the utmost importance. Looking at the picture it appears to be rather low on the wall. Wouldn’t this cause embarrassing accidents while bending over to clean your lower extremities? Also, here’s something to think about. After you’ve used it for a while it’s not exactly going to look like a hand anymore. It will eventually become a little soap stump. How attractive would that be? Of course you’re accidents wouldn’t be as ticklish anymore. Don’t know if you consider that a good thing or not.
Speaking of body parts, here are some little soaps in the shape of baby hands. Now that’s creepy. Though in a way it does make sense. Hand soap in the shape of little hands. Wash your hands with hands. Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Seeing it though, in baby form, turns up the creepy factor. This of course makes me love it. These are handmade and only 20 sets are made every day. They may sell out during the day, but every day at noon 20 more sets will be available. Each hand is made from natural vegetable glycerin and is a different shape and skin tone. Here’s a great gift idea! The next time you get invited to one of those baby showers where everything is darling in pastel pink or blue and it all just makes you want to gag bring along a nice little bag of baby hands. Watch all of the shocked and frightened looks and you’ll get to leave in no time. What expectant mother wouldn’t want little cut off baby hands?
