R2-D2 is the selfless, single-minded Astromech droid who plays the straight man against C-3PO’s emotional and complaint-filled one-liners. He saves the day on more than one occasion by saving our plucky band of adventurers from the trash compactor and fixing the hyperdrive.
Now you can own your own R2 unit in earring form! Measuring a half inch tall, these sterling silver versions of the classic Astromech droid will be your devoted companions. With a detailed 3-dimensional front and a mostly-flat back, these earrings hold onto your lobes with butterfly (friction) pushbacks. They come packaged in a fancy hinged Star Wars box with flip lid.
For our customers with nickel allergies: The posts are made from 316L grade surgical stainless steel. That means their five main components are iron, chromium, nickel (10-14%), molybdenum, and manganese. This is implant-grade steel.
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
