Video: Krampus
Krampus is the Christmas Demon of Germanic folklore whose job it was to punish the kids on Santa's Naughty List has been featured here before.
The Krampus is a holiday fixture that’s popular in the Germanic countries. Created to really enforce the whole “better watch out” Christmas ideology, the Krampus is the pure evil that must exist to balance out St. Nick’s pure goodness. Legend has it that when the Krampus discovers a bad-apple kid, he grabs the tot with his tongue, throws the kid in a sack, and takes them back to his home for dinner.
And while most people assume he is a better-left-forgotten relic of less gentle times (or less gentle places), he appears to be having a resurgence this year, being featured everywhere from Buzzfeed to FearNet to The Awl to NPR. He's getting a piece of the Christmas merchandise blitz and of course he has his own website. There is Krampus music and he even speaks in his own defense. And of course, he has a 'Folk Death Metal' band named after him.
But the biggest Krampus Kontroversy is the result of television's food maven Anthony Bourdain, who wrote and had animated a cautionary Krampus story for the holiday edition of his show, which was rejected by his bosses at the Travel Channel. Fortunately, you can still see it on YouTube. Happy Holidays!

Accessory: Jordan Last Shot 14 Gas Mask
"My work is an outlet for me. A chance to reflect on the world around me. I’m often asked about my politics, what these masks mean, “what’s the point?” or “why would you?”. The art world wants to promote artists who further their politics, unfortunately independent thinkers don’t quite fit that mold sometimes. I don’t want my work to be a reflection of my personal politics, they’re there but I’d prefer to speak through my work rather than preach through it. The important things are 1) exploring creativity and imagination 2) making something manufactured in limited quantities into something one of a kind and handcrafted and 3) working with materials that I’m passionate about. Love it, hate it, misunderstand it or just plain get it… it’s art so it’s up to you to find your own understanding of it."
Video: Krampuslauf Graz
The annual Krampuslauf Graz, the “Krampus and Perchten” parade procession in Graz, Austria, brings out hundreds of seriously scary (but traditional) demons. This footage from Krampuslauf Graz 2010 shows several of these creepy child-devouring mythical creatures roaming the streets of Graz, looking for naughty children.
Ironhide
Brooklyn Ironhide by Peter Krokis
Gather up some parts from local household, hardware, drug, sporting goods, pet shop, and discount stores and make yourself a super badass custom autobot costume. Well, that's what Peter Kokis of Brooklyn Robotworks did and he calls his creation 'Brooklyn Ironhide.' It took Peter over 600 hours to create the suit and it weighs in at around 164lbs. Here’s the best part, though: You can hire this guy to show up to parties dressed in this get-up.

Tattoo: Albertosaurus
AlbertosaurusSkeleton by Madfeline
Inked by the Smiling Buddha in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
"This is my first tattoo. It’s an Albertosaurus skeleton, which is a species of dinosaur that’s native to the province of Canada I was born in. I moved to New Zealand with my parents when I was nine and I’ve been living there for the last 10 years, so when I came back to Calgary for a holiday a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get a tattoo that symbolised my heritage (in a fairly original/bad ass way). My tattoo artist (whose name has unfortunately slipped my mind at the moment) did an amazing job, and the whole thing was over in just over an hour. Didn’t even hurt that bad either! Couldn’t be happier :)"
Yoko Littner
Yoko Littner (from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) by Kipi
Kipi is cosplaying as Yoko Littner from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Yoko
is a young woman from Giha's neighboring village of Ritona. She had
been tracking the Gunmen, which subsequently crashed through the surface
and into Giha. She wields an extensive arsenal of weapons and has
substantial experience fighting the enemy. She uses her outstanding
soldiering skills and wise counsel to advance the war of liberation. She
wears short shorts and a bikini top: as she states in episode 5, she
avoids clothing which restricts her movement in combat situations. Due
to her looks, several characters are instantly attracted to her
including Simon and Kamina. She loves children and has a dream to become
an elementary school teacher.
