FACE/ON

Borrowing Nicolas Cage’s Face

So there’s this Etsy shop run by a guy named JazzberryBlue (family name, we assume). His sole purpose in life: turning your face into Nicolas Cage’s face. You heard us. Send him a pic, and he’ll slap a seamlessly photoshopped Cage face over yours within two hours. Cage face.

PIANA MAN

How to Become Impossibly Italian

The Loro Piana family. They’ve been traveling on foot through Mongolia to put baby cashmere on your back for years now. Making jackets out of lotus flowers. And generally just being incredibly Italian. And now, they’re letting you buy things online for the first time ever. Only took them 88 years.

UKE TUBE

The Hawaiian Version of Tasty Licks

We have no idea if you play the guitar or not. And honestly, it doesn’t matter. Because this is summer. Which means it’s ukulele season. Which also means you should probably get this app that lets you play the ukulele on your iThings. Zooey Deschanel won’t know what hit her.

OILED ROTTEN

Your Boots Just Became Immortal

If Minnesota knows one thing, it’s boot care. Okay, maybe Paul Bunyan. And enormous malls. But still... boot care. Specifically this stuff: it’s called Nor-V-Gen Shoe Oil. The guys at Best Made just started stocking it by way of Minnesota. And it’s basically like rubbing SEAL Team Six all over your boots. Basically.

We have some information for you. It involves things that vibrate. And things with names like Sarah. And in particular, it involves paying 20% to 40% less than you normally would at Jimmyjane for the rest of the month. Hint: they don’t sell fruit baskets.
