Oh, for the love of all that is holy, would you look at these bitches? (What? They're female dogs!)

Concerned about your daughter playing with dolls that dress like skanks? Maybe her delicate young psyche would be safer playing with a dog that dresses like a skank. Get her one of these bitches.

Seriously, you're not going to believe this. Read on for more about doggie style.

Is watching Project Runway a family affair at your household like it is around ours? (Okay, around here family means a boyfriend and a dog, but still...) If so, and you just happen to have some budding young designers in your brood, then these Project Runway playsets will be right up your alley!

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there and we wanted to find out more about what makes these creative types tick. If you do too, check out more of our Indie Designer Interviews.

Sometimes creativity is a family affair, and that's certainly the case with today's featured artists, Krafty Krew, aka Rita, Frances, and Irene. This mother-daughter trio crafts designs from the heart, including some adorable plush toys for the little ones.

Wild Dill was created by Jennifer who signs her bio "Wife and Mother of Wild Men." We love that. She created Wild Dill to reflect the "sense of curiosity and wonder for everything that is natural and wild." They "carry only natural, organic, fair trade, made in the USA/Europe, or recycled clothing, toys, bedding and furniture for babies and toddlers."

All of it is wonderful. See for yourself:

Still waiting on spring to arrive where you are? Got those dreary winter day blues? Maybe the d°light Huggable is the answer you've been looking for. This light-up pillow is inspired by sunlight and designer Diana Lin created it to give people the chance to embrace the essence of the sun in their arms.

The pillow is soft and fuzzy like a pillow should be and it's made out of a unique silicone material that feels almost life-like. It's like your cute new glowing pet!

The d°light Huggable is available in three colors (white, hot pink and gold) and for $160 each, this pillow is a bit of a splurge. But it could make a great gift for lonely urban dwellers with the winter blahs, or maybe a last-ditch effort to sooth the kid who just can't get over their fear of the dark? Either way, it's pretty freakin' cool!

I fondly recall spending afternoons playing with My Little Pony and Hot Wheels. Often, that would turn into an afternoon of snapping together beads to create brightly colored necklaces for myself and my stuffed animals. Those were great days.

But, I was five years old, and I wasn't really thinking about fashion.

Alter Ego jewelry, designed by a misguided an enterprising 18-year-old in California, brings things like vintage toys and bright beads together to create a truly unique look that, theoretically, adults would wear. Oh, and also, that adults would pay $50 to $200 to wear.

I get the idea -- it's quirky and fun, and I suppose it might work for fashion-forward pre-teens, but don't expect to see me wearing it any time soon. Or ever.

When you curl up in bed at night, covers pulled to your chin to keep out the winter chill, don't you want to something nice and cozy to snuggle up with? How about Karl Lagerfeld?

Sure, the over-the-top fashion industry icon doesn't seem like he'd be squeezable -- and let's be honest: sleeping with him is probably like cuddling with a leather bag. But now thanks to Steiff, a German teddy bear factory, there will be soon be a stuffed animal version of Karl that you can call your very own!

Even stuffed, the designer will be clad in his usual dark sunglasses, suit, high-collared shirt and logo belt buckle -- not exactly an adorable image. But for a true Lagerfeld fan, it will undoubtedly be a must-have item.

As a young girl, I played with both Tonka trucks and Barbie (loved her pink Corvette). There weren't any girly cars you could take apart back then but times have changed. Check out the C9P from Automoblox. It's a fun little block car that you can completely dismantle and it has pink tires, a pink roof and little pink people to play with. Come to think of it, this would be pretty fun for grownups too. After all, I had my mini Miata on my desk for years. The little pink car sells for $35.
