Dew sipping, rapidly wing flapping hummingbirds. Did you know that Hummingbirds are the only bird type in the entire avian family that can fly in all directions? Well they are, which is exactly why they are the rather cool and legit inspiration for Peter Ting’s ceramic collection, Flutter. Have cereal, pour soy sauce, or cut a steak on one of the Hummingbirds.

When I work out, I long for a healthy protein-rich snack afterwards to help my muscles rebuild. Who am I kidding? I generally just reach for the chocolate. But that’s only because up until now, protein bars tasted of sawdust, old milk and Satan’s own health food: carob. The new Activated! range by Stephen James Luxury Organics manages to be full of wonderful natural berries and nuts and all sorts of yummy things and still be good for you. They’re raw and pre-sprouted, as well as gluten-, dairy-, and sin-free. Good enough to make me think twice about reaching for the chocolate…

People say it pays to advertise, and there’s nothing’s more important to advertise than what’s going on down there. Henry Holland, celebrity designer and ‘it’ boy has come up with a range of cheeky slogan-bearing underwear to help others know the score. Choose from ‘huge’, ‘cut’, ‘full bush’ (popular over at Boo Bar I expect), or even ‘tiny’, and help others adjust their expectations accordingly.

Boys in Hong Kong are especially finicky when it comes to their appearance. You know it’s no accident that the hottie across the street looks so put together and it’s no surprise that an investment has been to been made to enhance his appearance. The Clarisonic Mia, created by the same person that made the Sonicare toothbrush, is a new motorized facial brush developed specifically for the beauty conscious man. It utilizes sonic vibrations to clear the skin of all impurities, leaving a face that’s smoother than a baby’s bottom or the bottom giving you a glance from the other side of the bar.

Safe sex never looked so darn cute. Sagami has come out with a super Japanesey kawaii condom in a fun cartoon-inspired box that comes in two versions. One version is a giddy king lion that seems overjoyed with anticipation for the sexual encounter he will soon experience. The second design is a super hero eel that looks basically like a penis wearing a red cape. We suppose most men would like to think that they have a super hero strength penis, so the design is actually quite appropriate.
