Catbusters, Cake Fascinators, & Jareth Drives Us Crazy

Hey. 

You know what we need right now? 

We need Yzma and Kronk sitting in their roller coaster car, where Yzma's lookin' all 2020 grumpy and Kronk's still blissfully 2019.

OH LOOK:

The Emperor's New Groove Sketchbook Ornament from Shop Disney

I don't collect character Christmas ornaments - in fact, I don't think I've ever bought one? - but this may be the exception.  I wouldn't hang it on a tree, of course; I'd have to build a little roller coaster track for it, maybe have it wind around the wall? :D

Mary Jane McGuire combined two of my favorite things: Ghostbusters and cats:

MASS HYSTERIA.

I love the "slime," and how concerned "Ray" is for "Venkman" after.

Hee!

Someone in my Labyrinth fan club just got this sunshade, and I'm preeeetty sure you need to see it:

For me it's the photoshopped steering wheel that really makes it. And you KNOW there's a song parody coming now, right?

Ahem hem hem.

♪ How you turn my world 
you precious thing ♬

I MOVE THIS CAR FOR NO ONE

::bowing::

Thank you, thank you very much.


Someone else in the group posted this link to purchase the shade, but I can't vouch for that website, so shop carefully, k?

My Modern Met is a great page to follow for all things beautiful: art, nature, photography, etc. This next gem isn't geeky per se, but it's gorgeous and inspiring:

See all these lovely bottles? They're all made OF SOAP.

No, really! They have a layer of bees wax inside so the liquids don't melt them. Talk about the next generation of sustainability, I'd love to see this idea take off. Pretty sure they're just a proof-of-concept, though, and not for sale anywhere. Go read more about these pretties here.

John Marks of Brazen Monkey makes JAW-DROPPING builds that he takes to conventions for photo ops. Check out his Toothless & Light Fury:

Then he made He-Man's Battle Cat & Panthor:

I thought these were toys at first, but nope! Those are cosplayers in front of the life-sized battle cats. Can I get a "daaaaaaaaang"?


And here's an older build that tugs at my heart:

The Iron Giant!

Marks is known for these huge builds, but this month he proved he can also work much, MUCH smaller:


Ray! Complete with a light-up butt!

Marks made this for his wife for their anniversary, aww.

Head over to the BrazenMonkey page to see more of all these builds, plus lots more.

I don't share many movie trailers around here, but OOOOOH this looks good:



It's a nice feeling having something to look forward to this year, am I right? :p

Jessica Danker of Recyl EARS made the most magical fascinator last month, check this out:

She combined Aurora's sliding birthday cake with her crown and a pretty rose! Ha! I love how she recreated the entire cake and propped-up broom out of felt, just incredible.

Jessica also made a sweet matching mask for the birthday girl who would be wearing this:

Go see more of Jessica's work on the Recycl EARS Facebook page.

And finally, I think I just found my new ringtone:

The cutest yawn noise! from r/aww

Bahahaha!

As I was compiling this list I realized I haven't been sharing as many cute/funny/sweet things on my personal FB page lately, which I see as a way to be a light to my friends. So tell me, what's your favorite thing you've shared on social media lately? Share your links in the comments, or over on the Epbot Facebook page.

P.S. Have you visited the Epbot Amazon storefront lately? Better yet, have you bookmarked it? That's where I keep all my Lists of linked products: everything from crafts to clothes to tools. If you buy anything through our storefront Amazon gives a little back to me and John - even if it's not on my lists - so thank you for helping support Epbot while you shop!
