Kitsch List: An Olde-Tymey Rotary Phone & A Chocolate Skull From AHALife

Taking a break from posting about studded booties and skinny jeans to put these two totally great kitchsy must-have housewares on your radar:

1.) An olde-tymey rotary phone! IN PINK!


($80, Stephiesays.com)

Singapore's Stephie Says sells BRAND-NEW rotary phones in beige, black, red, and PINK, FTW! I don't even have a land line anymore, let alone a "regular phone," but I kind of want a rotary phone just to put on my shelf and recall the creepy split-pea green rotary phone we used to have in my basement when I was kid. A rotary phone always makes me want to redo my bedroom in all pink and dance around my room like Ann-Margret.

($28, Bond Street Chocolate, Ahalife.com)

And perhaps you didn't realize it when you woke up this morning, but you're in the market for a dark chocolate skull by Bond Street Chocolate. It's dark chocolate, 3D (naturally), and it's the featured product today on Ahalife, which is a new flash sale site that's kind of like Daily Candy meets Gilt. Each week there's a small boutique of gorgeous gifts, housewares, jewelry, beauty products, apparel and more. Basically, it's the better version of the stuff you already have. Like a DIANE VON FURSTENBERG CAMERA!! And a set of Aftelier Perfumes perfume trios (check out the Naag.com story I wrote about Mandy Aftel and Aftelier, and then get ready to never love another perfume again as much as you'll love these.) And the selection is curated by an international set of fashion insiders, experts, tastemakers, celebrities and philanthropists. So sign up. And this chocolate skull could be yours. I mean, after "chocolate skulls," there's really just there's no backing out at this point.

I'm A Big Enough Mad Men Stan To Buy Peggy's Helvetic Poster

($150, Objectifiedfilm.com)

Did you guys see that Helvetica poster on the wall of Peggy's office Sterling Cooper Draper Price? I'm totally enough of a "Mad Men" stan to buy it. Dork City, I know.

+ My "Mad Men" meets Gaga meets Miu Miu dress!
+ "Mad Men" furniture for sale!!

NEED: Pottery Barn Kids Giant Pencil!

($109, Pottery Barn Kids, online only)

If being an adult and owning a giant decorative Pottery Barn Kids pencil with your name on is wrong, then I don't want to be right. Or grow up.

Death By Vintage Peacock Wall Art

($2,700, Candystorecollective.com)

Peacock, peacock on the wall? Why are you the most beautiful but outlandishly expensive vintage wall art of them all? Weep.

HAMBURGER BED! I DIE!

I'm in big big trouble deep. I'm in love. With a hamburger bed. Actually, it's a cheeseburger, but beggars can't be choosers, as I used to tell my ex-boyfriend!

It's the granddaddy of all non-edible burger products. As the proud owner of a burger pillow, I can ONLY DREAM of owning this burger bed. And I never will. It got sold on ebay for $3,050. Grrrr. If only I'd known, I could've sacrificed a wedding dress and just rolled down the aisle between these amazing bunz.

Kayla Kromer of Austin MADE this burger bed, and obviously she is a GENIUS.

You can be friends with the Burger Bed on Facebook and become a fan of Kayla, which you should, because she's obviously a genius, like I said.

I love this snippet of dialogue on Hamburger Bed's Facebook page. It's regarding the BUYER (luckiest human ON this EARTH besides RACHEL ZOE who is SOOOOO FORTUNATE to have cracked the code that allows one to exist ONLY ON SHREDDED LETTUCE!), Paul:

One person: "Is Paul cool?"

Another person: "He bought a hamburger bed. Enough of an indication? I think so..."

Anyway, unless you are Paul, know Paul, Paul decides to resell the burger bed, or, you break into Paul's house (reason enough to invest in a feral pitbull!) you can buy a more size- and recession-friendly burger pillow like the one I own and adore:
