LED eyelashes

Amazing fantasy armor leatherwork
I’m not sure exactly what it means to be “hell bent for leather,” but I am sure that this is the outfit you want to be wearing while you’re thusly engaged. Prince Armory is (mostly) Samuel Lee, who goes by *Azmal on deviantART. Beautiful craftsmanship. [via Geekologie]

Dental training mannequins
These impossibly creepy artifacts are dental training mannequins collected by Steve Erenberg of Radio Guy. Be warned, Steve’s site is chockablock with incredible medical, scientific, and industrial antiques he’s collected, mostly from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is a major click-trap.
