Beijing-based artist Lu WeiKang has dressed up a bunch of Barbie Dolls in outfits resembling the outlandish sartorial choices of Dame Lady Gaga. Part homage and part satire (we hope!), WeiKang has chosen only the most ridiculous attire for his Gaga Barbies — from her inexplicable Kermit the Frog number to the garish cigarette-sunglasses and silver-chain-link getup she wore in the Telephone video. Both of those, as well as a number of others, are included after the jump.

Available in 13″, 15″ and 17″ versions for $55 to $70. Really nice design, but they better watch out with that half-sliced Apple logo — they’re basically screaming “sue us! sue us!” at the top of their lungs in an elevator full of Steve’s top lawyers. [Spotted on Notcot via Design Spray]
Artist Kiel Johnson builds highly detailed replica cameras out of nothing but cardboard, some glue, and vintage shoulder straps. After the jump check out his entire collection, as well as an inspiring time-lapse video of Johnson creating a massive Twin Lens Reflex Camera.

(Above Photo Via Jonan Design’s Flickr) Last week we posted an epic collection of over 120 amazing art cars that people have built for Burning Man over the years. And with the 2010 event having wrapped up on Monday, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to highlight the art cars of this year’s Burning Man (its 25th annual celebration in the Nevada desert). After the jump check out over 70 new art cars — including a ramen noodle cup, a cooler, spacecrafts, dinosaurs and more. We can only expect more and more art car photos to be added to Flickr in the coming weeks, so we’ll try and update this post sporadically going forward. Drop us a line if you find one worthy of being included. Star Wars Mask Magnets

You know, for decorating Christmas ornaments. Click here to read all about the eggbot. Check out a bunch more photos after the jump. [Spotted on Laughing Squid] [Spotted on Yum Yum London]
With Halloween sneaking up on us, we thought it might be a nice public service to start providing some inspiration for costume ideas that aren’t played out. After all, if you’re going to go through the effort to dress up at all, you might as well turn some heads. Exhibit A: The Toy Soldier.
