Stay “Puft” All Day!
Planning on attending this weekend’s screening of the 80′s classic, Ghostbusters? Bring along a box of these fake movie props-turned-real-product. Yes, everybody’s favorite “Ghostbusters“-hating marshmallow man is back, and is keeping mellow munchers going all day long!

It’s a Grand Ol’ Flag
Happy Veterans Day! In honor of those who serve our country, we’ve got something a little different today. Anyone who’s driven past the car dealerships lining the Camelback Corridor lately has probably noticed an eye-grabbing new feature. And no, we’re not talking about the giant inflatable gorillas or the flashing Hail Sale signs. (Seriously, wasn’t that storm in September? Are they bringing in hail-damaged cars from other states?) Anywho, we’re talking about a certain can’t-miss red, white and blue salute to the good ol’ US of A.
Yes, the all-new Camelback Toyota at 16th St and Camelback recently unfurled the largest danged flag we’ve ever seen. So in honor of Veterans Day, we decided to call up General Manager, John O’Malley, and get the Scoop behind this $47,000 American-made masterpiece.

Known for their denim, Diesel has now embarked on a line of lighting that we happen to be obsessed with. As a lamp it will provide you with light (obviously) but the reptilian design and the name itself appropriately coin this appliance as a pet rock upgrade. We likey.
