Forever A Kid makes “innovative custom clothing at the best value for the Adult Baby (AB), Big Baby, Infantilist, Diaper Lover (DL) and Juvenile Adult market.” Don’t miss the photo gallery, where you can see the models show off their dresses, diapers and pajamas in giant homemade cribs.
I admit, I used to have a pair of big red pajamas with white sock feet. But I wore them because they were warm and fuzzy; not because they turned me on.
I miss “Under Construction” images, those hackneyed construction-themed graphics that seemed to be on every amateur webpage between 1994 and 1996. They were redundant (i.e. the entire Web is always under construction), ugly, and often animated. And then, somewhere around 1997, they went away.
Fortunately, it looks like a few die-hard “designers” are still pushing the envelope in Under Construction technology. For example, rendered animated GIFs and post-modern infographics. And if you can’t innovate, just super-size it! Like this Russian Greek collage, clip art carpenter, or yellow wallpaper.
And finally, a full screen Flash animation. What, no Under Construction Java applets or ActiveX controls?
When compiling a top 10 list, there’s a big difference between “Best” and “Favorite.” Usually, “Best” implies some sort of objectivity. If I was compiling a Best Albums list, I’d probably include some influential and innovative albums that I never listen to anymore, like the new Wilco or the White Stripes. Instead, 10 albums I genuinely enjoy that have rarely left my MP3 playlist:

After I learn how to binary finger count, I’ll give my friends a high 11111 and flip my enemies the 00101.
For its high wax content, I recommend Jack Handey’s My Best List For 2001.
