Pink Glow In The Dark Rose Vampire Vinyl Figure by Josh Herbolsheimer
The Blot is actually giddy over Super7’s announcement late last night that an all new Rose Vampire vinyl figure would be released this Saturday (just in time for Valentine's Day)! As you all know by now, I love Josh Herbolsheimer’s Rose Vampire, and this PGID colorway is my favorite one so far. Add in a little white spray to Rose Vampire’s pink glow-in-the-dark vinyl and we’ve got an instant classic on our hands.

Threadless - Retro Disney Themed “Invention of Colour” T-Shirt
When I saw the “Invention of Colour” t-shirt on Threadless.com earlier this week I instantly did a double take. I was like wow, is Threadless doing a collaboration with Disney!?! The characters on this shirt look just like Mickey and co. did when they first debuted in animated shorts back in the ‘20s. I was blown away by the look and feel of the design and wanted to find out more about the shirt’s creator, Ben Hartnett. Ben explained his thought process behind the design by stating: “I'd worked in the old 40's style once as an animator (in the 90's, not the 40's!) and wanted to do it again on tees. The obvious choice to me was simply to have black and white characters inventing colour, and the best way to get the gag across was to use design clichés that everyone would recognize.”
You can purchase “Invention of Colour” at Threadless.com for $18. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Lost Tuesdays - Lost: The Complete Collection DVD & Blu-ray Box Set Release Date
The Blot has been anxiously awaiting for any and all information concerning the upcoming Lost: The Complete Collection DVD box set. Thankfully, Amazon.com
has come to The Blot’s rescue by announcing the Lost: The Complete Series DVD and Blu-ray box sets will go on sale August 24th, 2010! How great is that!?! I had a feeling these probably wouldn’t go on sale until Christmas 2010, so this is a whole 4 months earlier than expected.
As of now, all we know is the Lost: The Complete Collection box set will include 38 disks and have a run time of 5,074 minutes. I can’t wait to see what kind of crazy extras Lindelof and Cuse cram into this one. I might even finally upgrade to Blu-ray so I can watch my favorite Losties in HD.
You can currently pre-order both versions of the Lost: The Complete Collection box sets at Amazon.com. Lost: The Complete Collection DVD box set retails for $229.99, but is on sale at Amazon.com for $148.99 here.

Buff Monster x Brian Ewing Faith No More Auckland, New Zealand Concert Poster
Buff Monster recently collaborated with the super talented Brian Ewing on a concert poster for next week’s Faith No More show in Auckland, New Zealand with the Eagles of Death Metal. The Blot is very impressed with how great a job Buff and Ewing did in melding their two unique styles to create such an awesome looking print. While it’s been a few years since I’ve listened to Faith No More, I really want to add this concert poster to my collection!

Threadless - Donkey Kong Themed T-Shirt “Arcade Expressionism”
The Blot has to admit, I totally glossed over Threadless’ Donkey Kong themed t-shirt “Arcade Expressionism” when it first came two weeks ago. I don’t know what was the matter with me, because this video game inspired t-shirt rocks! It’s such a simple idea, and yet I’m totally blown away by the way artist Brock Davis pulls it off. How has no one ever thought of this idea before!?! It’s pure genius! Now we just need a new Super Mario Bros. Wii game in this style.
As you all know, The Blot is a sucker for retro video game t-shirts, so this abstract interpretation of the Nintendo classic Donkey Kong is a must get! You can purchase “Arcade Expressionism” at Threadless.com for $18. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Hudson Valley, New York
Tonight on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Tony explores the Hudson Valley, the body of water just upriver from his home, New York City. The episode begins with Tony visiting a floating hot dog stand! How cool is that!?! Next, Tony heads to Pine Island in the black dirt region of the Hudson Valley. This area was once thought to be untouchable by farmers because of the swampy lands. Tony joins the Matuszewski family in their sausage shop, which has been family-owned since it was started in 1947. The chef is a little kooky, and the parking lot has some interesting characters, but the food sounds delicious.
After that, Tony hits the road with Michael Ruhlman for a visit to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), a.k.a. Tony's Alma mater. Equipped with a chef's coat and hat, Tony and Michael are assigned a stir-fried squid with basil dish, to be made for loads of hungry students. Bourdain then visits the home of chef Michael Pardus for some Asian food. Sierra Pardus (Michael's 10-year old daughter) gives Tony a run for his money when it comes to criticism. Tony says, "I've never encountered such an incise critic of my life's work!" You can check out a preview of this very hilarious conversation in the video clip below. That girl has some guts!
And since this last week was Groundhog's Day, what could be more appropriate than a meal with the one and only Bill Murray!?! At the end of tonight’s “The Hudson Valley” episode, Tony and Bill break bread at X20, Peter Kelly’s restaurant built on a pier on The Hudson River. Murray is definitely my new favorite No Reservations celebrity guest star, and The Blot is excited to share a little sneak peek video of Murray’s appearance:
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs every Monday night at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
