FOOT FETISH
Sometimes we come across the 'coolness factor' in search logs, sometimes by instinct and sometimes by listening to the ladies in the office.

This week they are talking about AIR STOCKINGS. A Japanese company has come up with a a spray-on makeup that gives gams a satiny, some say sexy, look.

Air Stocking dries in 60 seconds and comes into lots of funky styles.

Air Stocking.com has all the scoop including the latest commercial.

PARTY WITH A PURPOSE
We noticed this very cool non-profit that teaches kids how to understand compassion for folks less fortunate. A column about Birthday searches explains it a bit better.

Smiling Kids, a young charity that provides birthday presents to local children and teens in need, have created a grassroots project designed to teach children the value of charitable giving. Parents of three young children came up with the idea after they realized how many gifts their kids are likely to give and receive over the years.

Here's the concept: In lieu of gifts for the birthday child, party guests are encouraged to bring a donation, and through their non-profit Smiling Kids, they are able to provide birthday presents for children who otherwise might have none.

TOM CRUISE & OPRAH
By now everyone has heard about the infamous Tom Cruise appearance on Oprah. (The one where he jumped up and down touting his deep love for Katie Holmes.)

Well a brilliant soul imagined what would happen if you gave Cruise some of Darth Vader's's powers...poor Oprah.

Watch Cruise turn to the 'dark side' on Oprah

WHOLESOME WEAR

And you think you've seen it all, until KMAN shows you
Wholesome Wear

Yes those are bathing suits that cover you up..."swimwear that highlights the face rather than the body."

JOHN DAKER
Making its rounds in cyberspace lately, is this wacky John Daker video.

My name is...

From what we understand, this is a public access television show. Apparently Mrs. Unsicker was a music teacher and these were all her students performing.

It is weird enough to bring a smile to your face...

BEAUTY & THE GEEK
Beauty & the Geek may possibly be our favorite show of the summer. It's brilliant, created by Ashton Kutcher and our favorite aspect of the show is that it does not mock the contestants unlike other reality shows.

We came across some of the contestants blogs, worth checking out.

BREW YOUR OWN FERTILIZER
Johnny Depp does it so why don't you? Got Poppy Envy?
Marion Owen from the Kodiak Island off the coast of Alaska, came up with idea of organic fertilizer in tea bags, after she started growing all her own food. This DIY woman found that all the store bought fertilizer didn't do a very good so she decided to do it herself...

In her own words, "I'd read that kelp was extremely beneficial for plant health, so I ventured to the beach and filled a bucket with seaweed. On the way home I gathered dried leaves, grass clippings and other goodies. I packed the blender and hit "blend." The mixture looked awful, but I strained it and fed it to my plants anyway. By golly, they began to look better, healthier. One day, after mixing a batch, I sat down with a cup of tea. I glanced down at the tea bag and watched it bob in the mug. I discovered my answer. PlanTea was born..."
