Seen Too Many Sugar Skulls, Here Is The Best

Damn is it cool to see something that leaves your jaw flapping in the wind. This Dia De La Muertos mask by Shane Martin is a true work of art. The precision in the design of found objects alludes to a very analytical mind that we are looking forward to seeing plenty more work from.

GG Allin Halloween Mask

Everyone's favorite holiday may be a ways off but why not get prepared well in advance. If you don the mask surely you have to go ape shit and start singin' your personal favorite GG song. For me its "I Love Nothing". Check out this mask makers work as its top notch and at the same time dig into the Vice Magazine blog as that is where I found the link.

New Style of Motorcycle Helmet or Torture Device?

Best new helmet design I have ever seen, or maybe you need the real story on this amazing torture device. If so, read on...

"This item is one of the more disturbing objects in Henry Wellcome’s collection. A ‘Scold’s bridle’ is a fearsome looking mask which fits tightly on to the head. A scold was defined as a “rude, clamorous woman”. The bridle was used as a punishment for women considered to be spending too much time gossiping or quarrelling. Time spent in the bridle was normally allocated as a punishment by a local magistrate. The custom developed in Britain in the 1500s, and spread to some other European countries, including Germany. When wearing the mask it was impossible to speak. This example has a bell on top to draw even more attention to the wearer, increasing their humiliation. It was used until the early 1800s as a punishment in workhouses."
