On the edge of fashion

Tell me, ladies - Do you ever run into the problem of wanting to look classy on a Friday night while at the same time showing the world your love of all things game-related? Well, I think I have the answer for you! What you are looking at is a genuine set of Mirror's Edge earrings, bought from The Clay Collection, and modeled by my girlfriend Katie. Not a fan of Faith's free running frolic? That's okay, because you can custom order any game you like, from many popular systems. They even have NES cartridges!

That's not all, though. Site owner Lauren has used her skill with polymer clay to craft all sorts of cool and geeky things, from controllers to companion cubes, and from Mega Man to the Millennium Falcon. She even has has cufflinks, so all you guys don't have to get super jealous of your girlfriend's new accessories and do anything rash, such as get your ears pierced (it doesn't matter if you pick the manliest game ever - you're still going to look like a woman).

So head on over to The Clay Collection and pick up a pair before everyone else does. I know it's tough to chose between every game in existence, but don't take too long deciding because the site may not be up for long. Why? Well, because as cool as these products are, they're total infringements of copyright - something that the big companies might not take too kindly to if they become overly popular.

What I'm saying is, don't wait until Christmas to furnish your special ladyfriend with a gorgeous Shadow of the Colossus necklace - you'll have to find another occasion instead. Such as what, you say? Well, September 9th is the Dreamcast's 10th birthday, and August 29th holds two anniversaries - a decade since the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and 5 years since we first got our hands on The Guy Game. Of course, if you choose to honor that last one, you might not want to tell your girlfriend what the celebration's for!
