Paleo Poop is fossilized dinosaur poop, imported from Canada by Doylestown native Michael McGrail. I went through a dinosaur phase just like everyone else, but I'm not sure what my nine-year-old self would think about dinosaur poop fossils. But, as a mature twentysomething, it's hilarious.
Each piece comes in a four-once Paleo Poop tin, and is around 66 million years old — so says the certificiate of authenticity that comes in the tin. The stuff's not for sale online, though, so you'll have to hit up the Academy gift shop to get your own. Your friends will be brown with envy (sorry...).

There was tons of hype this week when Sir Gunn announced that this challenge was going to be one of the biggest in ProjRun history. So big, in fact, that this week's winner would not be granted immunity for the next challenge. Tim took his little designer darlings over to the Hearst Building to meet Marie Claire's editor-in-chief, Joanna Coles.
Gunn and Coles broke down the challenge and its whopping winning payoff: Create a design to be worn by a super famous celebrity. On the cover of April's Marie Claire. Yes, this is major. Coles stressed that there really ought to be plenty of color and detail in the designs. It needs to be able to catch the eye of a magazine peruser and make them want to buy, buy, buy! That part could be handled later, it was time to get to the real juice: Who was going to be the celeb?
It was Heidi. Womp, womp.
I know she's a big shot, but this feels a little cheap. Past guests have included LL Cool J, RuPaul and queen fashionista and trendsetter Carrie Bradshaw. I mean Sarah Jessica Parker. Did you happen to record the episode? If so, watch in slow motion as the crew is told who their hot celebrity will be. There's a wave of disappointment covered up by fake enthusiasm. Yes, yes, it's exciting, but it is, after all, only Heidi.
This week we finally saw something from Ben that brought him out of the boring middle ground and into the top three. He made a vibrant blue wrap dress and used panels of bright yellow chocolaty brown to make the eye focus on the core of the model and meet at the waist, where he added a wide black belt. Finally, something from this meager little designer who has barely made an impression on the judges in the past.
This idea of "not meeting the judges" business was a concern that Anna expressed, as well. Tim told her, "that could be a blessing." Sadly for this little daisy, though, she met the judges this week when they were dissecting her drab three piece design. Anna put together a shapeless, washed-out blue blouse, a shiny vest that did nothing for the model's figure and a pair of dark, satin shorts, that the judges called well constructed. That's funny, because I thought that as the model came down the catwalk she looked a bit penis-y in the pants.
Going along with a complete lack of color, Jeneane (who narrowly beat out Anna), Maya, Seth Aaron and Mila all decide to disregard Joanna Coles' advice to use color. They opted instead for more mute and washed out palettes. Jeneane tried to go for a beach theme with her pearl dress, accented with a touch of slate blue at the straps. Coles, that cold-hearted business woman, said it reminded her of a polluted beach with plastic bottles. "It's not fashion forward," Heidi said, "and it's too sweet." True. Mila thought peach would be a strong color to use. Yeah, that will work, Mila, good job [cue eyeroll]. "That peach comes off as Ace Bandage," said Mr. Michael Kors. So true. Jay Nicolas made a dress that was also in a neutral cream it was so gorgeous and attention-grabbing that it didn't need to be anything but cream-colored. It was so light and airy, with one shoulder covered in ruffles. This one should have been top three.
None of that matters as much as who won this weeks über-fantastic, massive, bragging rights for months challenge: Anthony. Yes, my favorite little southerner in the sewing room was given the great honor of dressing Heidi (after she pops out the baby, of course) and having it slapped on the cover of Marie Claire. He made a futuristic one shoulder mini in a blue that was soft but still bold. It looked like frosting with the layers of straps bunched at the top, and then smoothing out into the rest of the dress as they went down the model's body. Kors was thrilled, raving, "the costume drama is over! You've entered modern times!" The judges always love it when they can look at a designer's Project Runway portfolio and see how they took the advice at each elimination and worked it into their garments. I really hope that Anthony keeps moving up, and cutting these bitches back. But no one is surprised to hear that.
Mila needs to start moving out of her sewn-inset themes. She's getting BOR-ing. Her designs are starting to look like they came from a quilt factory. Anthony's dress was indeed striking. Too bad more of the designers failed to follow his instinct to use an eye-catching color. As Julia says, Jay's design compensated for its lack of color in its sheer beauty. Overall, given the hype about this week's competition, the designs were underwhelming. Too many anemic colors and too few inspired shapes and looks. At least we didn't have to see a painfully inept contribution from Ping this week.
Collectors of pretty things, take note: Every Friday, we're rounding up a what's-what of what we [heart], culled from the scores of design blogs, artist sites and Etsy treasuries we can't help but stalk on the regular.

We may be ripping off the title of CP contributor Amy Strauss' delectable food blog here, but bear with us: Posters and tees, we think, are an excellent combo for a sludgy Friday afternoon spent blog-browsing.
First, and most angry-making: The Lost Valentine's cards we showed you earlier today got us thinking about the show (and how we're pretty damn sure Sayid is the new Jacob and why the hell was Desmond on the alternate-universe Flight 815?). Lo and behold we found these amazing vintage-y Lost-inspired posters — like the polar-bear-meets-smoke-monster style, above, and the infinity bunny, right — but, judging by the psycho comments on Mattson Creative's site, they're not for sale. Come on! It's not nice to tease. mattsoncreative.com, spied first at sharesomecandy.com.
Speaking of vintage-y: Book-jacket design is half the reason we get so mad when we hear the word "Kindle." There's something magical about the old-school-iest covers of our favorite novels, and we are just plain sad to see them electronified. Out of Print understands our bookish woes, and thus has created an assembly of iconic and out-of-print books made into tees. We're partial to Slaughter-house Five, but there's something for everyone (for now, only men's sizes are available, but they're remedying that in the spring). $28, outofprintclothing.com, spied first at designworklife.com.
While we're on the topic of Design Work Life: Big ups to local illustrator Dan Judge, who got shouted out on the design blog this Wednesday. He's created posters for Jay Reatard, Parts & Labor and many more, and for the past few years has contributed to Philly-based Screens 'n' Spokes, an annual bike-art fundraiser benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Doesn't look like Judge has any work for sale on his site, but hit up Etsy's Screens 'n' Spokes shop to check out his '09 contribution, plus tons of prints from previous years. $15, etsy.com/shop/screensnspokes, spied first at designworklife.com.
Before we go: We've seen this shirt before — it was given to this friend by this friend as a birthday gift last fall — and trust us, it's a winner. Indie clothing blog Hide Your Arms has compiled a list of 200 foodie T-shirts, so even if you're more in favor of anthropomorphic cupcakes than garden shovels, you'll probably find something that suits you. The "Grow Your Own Food" tee, sez Hide Your Arms, is available at Metro Three. $18, hideyourarms.com, spied first at thekitchn.com.
Thanks for the shout-out Carolyn! I have a few prints available on my Etsy page. Check it out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/danjudge
These are too perfect not to share. Illustrator/designer/LiveJournal-using genius Lee Bretschneider has created the best Valentine's Day cards we've ever seen, just in time for the big day. Print 'em out, or add 'em to your Lostie friends' Facebook walls.

Bretschneider's main Web site, adventuringcompany.com, has a bunch of cool prints for sale, too, and all proceeds will be donated to Haiti via the Red Cross. (No Lost posters up there yet, but we can dream.) Check out more of our favorite Lost V-day cards after the jump, and don't forget to keep up with Patrick Rapa's weekly Useless Lost Recaps.

New York, Los Angeles, and Passyunk Ave: three areas that are hip to the new retail trend dubbed 'pop-up shop.' Instead of claiming a permanent residence, many retailers are cleverly keeping customers wanting more by briefly inhabiting a storefront then just as quickly disappearing. This weekend the businesses of East Passyunk Avenue are expanding the 'pop-up shop' concept into an entire 'pop-up 'hood.'
Boutiques, grocers and more will pack up their most appealing products and set up shop for three days in a Center City storefront. The building will become what event coordinator Matthew Vlahos describes as a microcosm of the East Passyunk neighborhood. It's simply transferred to Rittenhouse. Customers can meander through stores' booths, enter to win door prizes or run into local celebs, like Project Runway winner and current Celebrity Fit Club boot camper Jay McCarroll, manning the Fringe Salon booth. On top of creating an intimate retail experience and close-knit community, businesses will, naturally, offer sweet deals, including discounts from spots like Sweet Jane's Vintage & Records, Sixteen Hundred Below, and Bianca Simone Boutique.
In a discouraging year for all business, Vlahos and the storeowners hope the Pop-Up Passyunk event will help draw the Center City shopping crowds' attention towards the south. Says Vlahos: "Instead of making them come to us, why don't we go to them?
For more shopping events, go to citypaper.net/shoppingspree.
Pop-Up Passyunk, Fri., Feb. 12-Sat. Feb. 13, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sun., Feb. 14, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., free, 208 S. 16th St.
In this column's past, Neighborhood Watch immersed itself in one neighborhood each week and found its most stylish inhabitants. We're switching things up. Now, this will be a space for us to find fashionable folk all across the city. But we're still keeping the hood theme — kinda, sorta — by taking note of where we found our subjects and trying to glean which trends are specific to which neighborhoods.

Snow has transformed our city streets into a winter wonderland. While you may think this would make our job harder, we actually had a ball out on the sidewalks slipping and sliding, dodging icicles falling from great heights and picking out the cutest snow bunnies scurrying from warm spot to warm spot. We decided to hit up the Market Street thoroughfare because we knew this would be the one place not ignored by plows.
Ashley C. (18) was courteous enough to hop off the phone while we bugged him about his cute, but less than insulated, outfit. "I don't care if [my gear] is that warm," he says, "Just as long as it looks good." Our favorite parts were his Armani Exchange jacket (not even buttoned, mind you), his faded H&M skinnies and the most practical part of all — his fantastic clunky snow boots.

We caught Chris P. (16) outside of the Gallery while he was on his way to have lunch with friends in Chinatown. We liked his hair the most, which he says is cut in the kitchen by a friend who has no training. He also looked pretty snazzy in his casual, monotone get-up that he accentuates with the pop of blue in his scarf.

Ronald S. (63) apparently has a clairvoyant connection with threads and it seems to be leading him in the right direction. "I see something at a store, "he says, "and it says 'take me home,' so I do that." The cap spoke to him from a hat shop in Wilmington and he connected with that $15 jacket in a local thrift store. If only we had such a baller inner voice. Sigh.

Caution signs like the one behind Sonya S. (24) need not apply when you know how to stomp through the slushy streets in boots like that. "I've been wearing heels since I was 16," she says. Other attention grabbers include that vibrant jacket, the multi-colored gloves and the neck scarf she borrowed from her auntie. But with all that color she keeps it in check with the neutral bag, shoes and tights. She knows what's goin' on.

| Amy's winning dress |
This week was a bit of a snooze fest at Parsons. There was, for me at least, one highlight that came at elimination. It's just a shame I had to sit through the entire episode to get there.
In a boring attempt to come up with exciting new challenges, ProjRun brought in women who were in some way affected by heart disease as models. The challenge was to make something gala-worthy that must a.) red, and b.) incorporate the Campbell's soup branding somewhere in the design. Right, because when I think of high fashion I immediately think of condensed soup. To be fair, Campbell's is financially supporting a fight against heart disease and that's nothing to sneeze at. (The winning dress is sold at projectrunway.com, with all proceeds going to the Go Red Foundation)
Too bad there was no drama to speak of.
But, lucky for you, there were a plethora of hideous dresses to discuss. Remember that ugly jacket Mila made last week? That thing gave her immunity for this week's challenge. Looking back, that jacket was fabulous compared to this week's explosion of beastly fury. Mila stitched together a red dress that was probably perfect for her model's body — I'll give that to her. But then she decided she was going to put a huge white star on lower right side, and a smaller one above the left hip. "It looks like a cheap flag at the Thanksgiving Day Parade," said Emilio. Honestly, I can't think of a more apt way to describe it. Can I take one second here to just point out Emilio's growing bitchiness? He's got something to say about everyone, and it's less than constructive. I love a little drama in the sewing room, but it's boring when someone just talks trash in the confession booth. Emilio, if you're going to be a diva, let everyone know. Don't hide it, girl.
And speaking of trash-talking, none of the designers wanted to say anything about their "real women" models. How could they? These women have been through enough already with failing hearts and pacemakers, they can't mention arm flub or cankles. When Seth Aaron mentioned that this was "the largest challenge I ever faced as a designer" (emphasis on the largest part) it should have raised some eyebrows. Really, Seth? Maybe it wasn't intentional, but it seemed a little fishy. If you have a bigger body, you just have to work with it.
Take Jesse's dress, for example. While the cropped white jacket was, as Kors mentioned, a little marching band-y, the worse part about it was the fact that it covered up the perfect neckline of the dress, an aspect the judges all loved. When I say perfect neckline, what I mean is boobies galore. This woman had 'em, and Jesse showcased them wonderfully.
Amy was this week's winner with a floor length gown that hid the model's body. During the judging, Kors, Garcia and Klum kept throwing around the word "elegant." It was modern, too, they insisted. It's true. The dress had very delicate details, like the raw edges of the neckline, and the small amount of Campbell's branding at the waist. And although the fabric was swarming around the model, you could actually see her shape when she walked. None of the dresses were all that exciting this week (at least not for the right reasons) but this one was probably the most gala appropriate.
Poor, sweet little Anna made a dress that actually looked alright during construction, but looked dumpy as hell when it was on the model. What was supposed to be flattering to the model's body type ended up emphasizing the less than ideal parts (her broad shoulders) rather than accentuating the good parts (her legs). The bust portion may have been intended to be billowy, but it ended up bunchy. Anna tried to draw the eye in to the cinched waist of the dress, but it just wasn't working. She had a good idea, though, and that's what helped her just barely scrape by.
Who did she just narrowly beat out, you ask? The boy who should have been gone weeks ago, challenge-skirter extraordinaire, Mr. Jesus. Finally, right? Someone must have told him that the challenge was to make the tackiest, ugliest street corner dress, throw some Campbell's business in there, and call it a day. That's clearly the look he was going for with the tight satin mini and gaudy sparkly chain straps, or whatever. Yes, the construction of the dress was flawless. But that doesn't mean anything when the piece is horrid and painful to the eyes. And, as the great Michael Kors mentioned in judging, taste is something that cannot be learned. So goodbye, Jesus, you sub par designer.
The kiss of death seems to be when Heidi says she's 'not sure about your taste.' Jesus was a weak player. It will be interesting to see if Mila can move away from her inset panels (the star/flag dress, and the bat-wing jacket from the week before). It will also be interesting to see if Emilio keeps relying on his ribbon look. Having a signature look is great, but not when you end up being a one-trick pony.

Valentine's Day is just around the snowpocalyptic bend, so we thought it timely to point out a few gifts appropriate for sweethearts, honeys and steady crushes.
 |
First up: Across the pond, self-described "U.K. design junkies" Rockett St. George host a huge line of V-Day-inspired goods, including these customizable Scrabble tile throw pillows. The covers and insides are made from 100 percent recyclable material, and they come in cream and black. If you're made of money, go ahead and load up on you and your one-and-only's monograms; then see what words you can spell. Hours of fun. (By the way, if anyone's got a tip on a Stateside company that sells something similar, let us know.) $71 each (approximately), rockettstgeorge.co.uk. Spied first at Poppytalk.
 |
Also: Because we're bookish, we particularly adore Brookish's collection of Pride & Prejudice (and not zombies) gifts. She's got stylish black-and-white bangles and ornaments with typewritten Jane Austen quotes; a tea towel boasting that "There's nothing like staying at home for real comfort"; and, most romantically, a Mr. Darcy proposal mug, on which the start of Darcy's memorable, sorta-pathetic speech to Elizabeth Bennett is is handwritten: "In vain I have struggled. It will not do." This applies to other struggles, too. Like cutting down on the coffee. $15, etsy.com/shop/Brookish.
 |
And then: The economy still sucks, so grand gestures ought to be put on hold this year. Your lovely will understand. Instead, send off the smallest, and therefore most adorable, valentine ever: Leafcutter Designs' clever World's Smallest Letters. Send them your message, and the address to which it should be sent, and they'll transcribe your love note onto teeny 1.5-by-1-inch stationery. A magnifying glass is included with every order, so no squinting; they've also got a World's Smallest Package, which comes with a hand-written note, tons of little buttons, and fits into the palm of your hand. Squee. $8-$10 plus shipping, leafcutterdesigns.com. Spied first at Design*Sponge.
Oh, P.S.: If you're in the mood to spruce up your Twitter homepage, check out Ollibird's free downloads. She's got loads of heart-tastic backgrounds, plus less sicky-sweet ones that'd be pleasant all year round. Free, blog.ollibird.com. Spied first at How About Orange.

Screw Disney World. We found the new happiest place on earth, and it's East Passyunk Avenue, where pretty people don't drip with disdain. Instead, they were happy to chat us up with a few dirty jokes and nonchalant style tips that are an accurate representation of this up-and-coming South Philly 'hood.
Behind the counter at B2 (1500 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-271-5520), baristas James U. (28) and Joanna Q. (25) were cleaning up. The messy duo was shocked that we wanted to feature them on Neighborhood Watch, but they were happy to indulge us with a quick pose and a little insight into their true-to-self styles. James called his look "working-class." "I'm a sloppy mess," he says. "I always have buttons missing." Joanna says she prefers to wear ugly colors and dresses. Despite their ragamuffin styles, we found James and Joanna relaxed and adorable.

Jen Z. (27) poses with her glass pussy, which is one of the many great finds at her vintage shop Sweet Jane (1742 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-339-0882). We thought she looked smokin' in her Biba-gypsy fashion, influenced greatly by the ladies from Heart and the belladonna herself, Stevie Nicks. As a fashion boutique owner, Jen has a heads-up about how to keep it fresh. "People are always into accessories," she says. "You can make old looks seem brand-new."

Brian W. (25), the self-proclaimed fashionable dork, had a laid-back style that was fitting for P'unk Square. He may have been in work clothes, but he admitted he doesn't dress any differently when he's not busing tables at Cantina (1651 E. Passyunk, 215-755-3550). He feels he lacks an accessory that all the other waiters rock, though: the beard. It's OK, Brian. You understand flesh-colored beards are a little odd. So, we give you our blessing for keeping it smooth.

We spotted these two dude's dudes, Hammer W. (30) and Baby Chris (21), while carousing at P.O.P.E (1501 E. Passyunk Ave., 215-755-5125). It could have been our blurred vision, but at the time we were feeling their bike messenger/backwoods fashion sense. In the midst of a heated discussion about city biking, Chris threw open his jacket to reveal his opinionated purple tee. Hammer shared Chris' loathing of Councilmember Frank DiCicco, who proposed some fairly ridiculous, unfair bike enforcement laws in November (but who, as of late, may be an OK guy after all). "When Frank DiCicco dies," says Hammer, "bury him with his ass out of the ground — so I have a place to park my bike."

| Mila's winning look. |
Re-capping Project Runway, fashionably on-time.
Week three began with Heidi telling the cast they were about to meet some of the top designers in the world. Tricky, tricky lady: She sent the kiddies to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to meet up with Tim Gunn and ogle 10 original couture pieces from the Costume Institute. The clothes were meant to inspire the eager little beavers for the tasks ahead. Poppa Gunn then doled out $500 for their challenge — the largest sum in PR history — for the materials to make a high-end signature look. The (first) catch with this challenge? Teams of two. Plenty of opportunity here for some diva ego-slashing this week. And what could be better, honestly? With team captains picking their partners, there was even a slight level of authority bestowed upon half the designers.
Like fat kids at kickball, Jesse and Anna were the last two designers to be chosen by a captain. Ping — Captain Crazy — chose Jesse as her teammate, leaving Anna to sew with the talented Mr. Emilio. Team Ping was a sad train wreck from the get-go. Jesse, apparently finding himself to be perfect and his captain to be mildly retarded, decided to boss around and criticize Ping rather than try to work with her to create an ensemble they could both be proud of. And so the two put together a gray-and-black, lace-and-satin atrocity, a mirror image of the head-butting that took place between them. The draping looked tacked on to the dress, and the model had to hold it up. Michael Kors told the disastrous duo at elimination that in order for the dress to even work the way it was intended to, "[the model] has to stand like the Statue of Liberty." Not a vogue pose at all. The dress, in the end, was Ping's demise and she was sent home after a teary goodbye.
Jesus, unfortunately, still remains.
Anthony was dubbed captain of his team, of course, and chose Seth (or Seth Aaron as he's calling himself these days). Although the red was eventually dropped from their original design, Anthony remarked that because of the black, red and yellow dress, they may as well have been "designing a dress for the vice president of McDonald's. However, everybody needs a dress." Oh Anthony, come hang out with me, OK? The team put together a doozy of a ballgown in the color "bumblebee." The black double-wide skirt looked like the world's biggest trash bags with a collection of children hidden beneath. It was painful.
This week's winner, for whatever reason, was Mila. She made this black bat-wing jacket with two white stripes. It looked like a flying squirrel in workout gear, and it gave the woman immunity for next week's challenge. The jacket was thrown on over a dull top and black skinnies that had a fat, white stripe running down the seam on both legs. None of this week's designers were outstanding, really, but I'm not sure that this one was a great example of high-end fashion. Oh, and her poor teammate — and apparent minion — Jonathan, did tons upon tons of actual constructing while Mila modeled her jacket in the mirror and thought about things, I guess.
But it didn't stop at just one outfit per team. Here's where catch No. 2 rears its ugly head, so try to stay with me here. About halfway through the allotted work time, the seven teams were dealt a heavy blow. Not only did they have to finish their design, but they had to make a second piece that was a $50 "look for less" version of another team's high-end design by the end of the following day. They were instructed to be inspired by the signature look, but not to copy it — this was key. Honestly, most of these second designs were boring, and only two were really worth mentioning.
Team Janeane and Ben made as their couture piece a little black dress and jacket that was so dull it was shocking. They were given $500 for materials and came up with this, for God's sake? Pathetic. The only good thing that came out of this was team Jay and Maya's $46 version of this dress. It was 10 times better than the original. They did, however, photocopy the look and add a few more details. Somehow the judges failed to mention much on this plagiarism that was clearly discouraged. To further their embarrassment, Ping and Jesse made a cheaper version of Jesus and Amy's duller-than-day-old-dishwater dress. They got the "cheaper" part down. And if Ping and Jesse were going for frumpy, they nailed it. The drab little number didn't fit the model at all. You know why? Because Ping didn't fit her for the dress! Is it any wonder, then, that this wacky yet imaginative designer was sent packing? Her original dress was dreadful, and the inspired look for less was even worse. While it seemed obvious that Ping was constantly on the verge of losing a challenge, I have to wonder if Jesse's asshole ways and "I'm so much smarter than you" attitude helped remove her from the show. What a punk.
