I dream of genies
Tired of using and hearing the term, "genius!", my friends and I shortened it to, "genie", "you're a genie" or sometimes, "genie in a bottle" {usually said with little or no emotion. i'm not sure why, but that's how it's done }
the following are a few product designs that I find super genie~
Snap and Dine~ generally, this term is more about how I serve up dinner at my house. I think grade schools should make this mandatory in the lunch line. product designer: demelza hill
Hamster Shredder~terrible name. we used to have a pet mouse named 'tooth' {it was white} how handy would this have been? shreds the paper for you as it runs on the wheel. genie, tom, pure genie. product designer: tom ballhatchet
Flying Carpet~ any of the corners can be rearranged over the wedges, for a comfortable little putting green to hang out, eat your cereal, wear your red pants, drink some brown stuff and watch a little T to the V. product designer: emili ana design studio
Fading Page A Day Calendar~ the ink fades as the day passes. Kind of like eye liner. product designer: shiyuan
Glide Toaster~ sometimes you have to shorten, "brizilliant" to "brazil". this would be one of those times. bread goes in to the ceramic toaster and gllllliddddes on through to the holder. brazil. product designer: george watson
"Central Park" wallpaper~ Don't just speed pass this. Come in closer....closer. Rats and fire hydrants. Do you see them? All wrapped up and pretty.
Someone please put this in your guest bathroom. I don't really do gold, so not me, but the humor in this is wonderfully passive. product designer: dan funderburgh
Little Field of Flowers~ then there's the king, die-cut, cool product design genie himself: Tord Boontje. Die-cut, wool felt flower rug. Comes in autumn red too! Tord you're a brazil genie in my book.product designer: Tord Boontje

Hamster shredder sounds much messier than it appears to be.
I don't do gold either. So, how the hell did I end up with gold-ish wallpaper (similar to shown; birds and crickets instead of rats and fire hydrants. Still.).
That rug is grea. :-)
Love for you to tell us what you find!
You have a way of finding cool things, great post!
I will tell her patricia! How did you find her, or did she find you?
You are head genie. I love all of those finds. The central park wallpaper is too funny. I would love to put it in my mother in laws house and have her freak when she got a closer look. Oh that was a bit mean oh well.
Me and my sisters abbr. everything when we talk. It drives my husband nutty, but oh well.
Fun post!
Wait.... where are the wine glasses?
REAL BAD.
pamela, I think you should!
As for the words... I usually say Fabu & De-Lish a lot. I started hearing "gorge" lately and think it's pretty cool but looks creepy written to me for some reason... call me crazy :)
