But I<a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/disco-ball-hat-works-best-with-the-party-rats/" target="_self"> do like to get a little flashy</a> when I get all dolled up to go out.</p>
<p>Slip a digit into one of the four World Landmark Rings, which bear the idol of the Leaning Tower, Big Ben, the <a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/architectural-makeover-because-the-eiffel-tower-is-ugly/" target="_self">Eiffel Tower</a> and the Space Needle. Wear all four at once if you desire. They also looks like it could cause a significant amount of pain if applied with just enough pressure to the balls.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve always sort of wondered how mermaid anatomy works. I figured it would be similar to <a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/anatomic-wetsuit-nude-as-legally-possible/" target="_self">human biology</a>, just because of the resemblance of our upper bodies, but it&#8217;s nice to finally <a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/3-d-shark-model/" target="_self">know the specifics</a>, such as the location of the mermaid&#8217;s weird-lookin&#8217; vag.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m confident that this chart was designed by some of the finest marine biologists alive today. I found the fetal diagram particularly interesting. Hit the jump for charts of other <a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/life-on-mars-martian-spotted-on-nasa-spirit-footage/" target="_self">mythical creatures</a>, including the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">cyclops</span> Curupira.</p>

The Blood-Splattered Coffee Set is very <a href="http://www.gearfuse.com/psycho-shower-curtain-is-a-bloody-mess/" target="_self">Bates Motel-ish</a>.</p>

You&#8217;ll have to shell out $500 for this 15-piece porcelain tea set.</p>
