The Oddity of the Week has returned to the Chateau! We’ve done our best to recover as many archived writeups and photos as possible – click here to travel down the memory lane of glass handbags, straitjacket tube tops, fetish oven mitts, coffin nail tiaras, and Wonderous Vulva Puppets – and stay tuned for new ones because we have a LOT of them lined up!

The jewelers at Liquid Fire Mantra have done something rather interesting with hanging carved plugs – flipped them up on top of the ear for a distinctly fantastical look. Made attachable by flexible copper swirls, the “Fae Auris” design is part hairclip, part pressure-point stimulator, and an unusual bit of matchy-match to similar handiwork in one’s earlobes.
