Heaven on Earth: Customizable Chocolate Bars at Chocomize

I just stumbled upon something amazing and had to share. Chocomize.com. Customizable Belgian chocolate bars. Just choose your chocolate and the goodies you want in it and voila.

My creation of choice:

milk chocolate, sour patch kids, toffee, peanuts, pretzels and M&Ms. AMAZING. I will update the post when it comes and gets devoured. 

And if you feel bad about the decadence of your purchase, make up for it by directing some funds toward a great charity, like the Michael J. Fox Foundation at checkout.

Swoosh the slopes with NIKE - Extreme Branding

At Babesta, we're fans of the extreme, and we love the concept Access (a creative agency) has put forth for mega-brand Nike. Swooshing seaside or slope side. They'd definitely have to be well-placed (read, not on an unspoiled romantic beach but rather where the families flock) and temporary but I have to admit they (especially those sleds) look pretty fun.

“Hangin with my Gnomies”

Gnomeo & Juliet created an upset by topping charts in the box office this past weekend. Disney put a twist on Shakespeare’s famous love story, Romeo & Juliet to create a 3D, fun filled, action-packed family film about two rival cliques of gnomes. Having seen the film I'd say the kids will like it but it doesn't hold a candle to great kid flicks like Fantastic Mr. Fox, Up and Tangled (I'm pretty sure that the second someone came up with the word Gnomeo, the show was scribed). Be that as it may, gnomes are cute and kitsch so why not have your little one pay homage to this popular movie, with our adorable graphic tee, “Hangin with my Gnomies.” Get this transfer on your favorite color t-shirt in sizes 3 months-12 years old. Wherefore art thou Gnomeo? On your very own t-shirt. -RW

We were floored when we read about the Vintage Pop Art Superhero Party conceived by one "Maureen" (from party co. Anders Ruff) as seen on Hostess with the Mostess' blog! It was one of the most(ess) over-the-top high flying ideas we've seen in ages.
