For those of you who are not in the know about crystal skulls, a crystal skull is a model of a human skull generally made out of quartz crystal, but not always, as in the case of Chinese jade skulls. Crystal skulls vary in size from a few inches to the size of a human head, or bigger. The age of a skull can be equated not so much to the year it was carved, or the place of origin, but to the age of the crystal from which it was created, some crystals being thousands of years old, while others are more contemporary. Crystal skulls are most often associated with ancient Mesoamerican cultures, especially the Maya which takes us to the Mayan Long Calendar and related prophecies.

So, you know, they are pretty cool and creepy and mystical. Check it out and open up your conciousness or whatev. It’s really quite the LA experience, I am sure.

Or you could just do the REALLY LA thing, and just look like you care about hardcore stuff like crystal skulls and all that jazz by wearing this rad jewelry http://www.stepheneinhorn.co.uk/product.asp?pc=J1%2D19GAR&p_subcategory=CH04 

Speaking of skulls, I just just picked up a cute new Alexander McQueen top. OK, so it’s Target McQ line, but still guys it’s pretty rock n’ roll. It’s stylin.

If you can’t find Alexander McQueen at Target, but want the look, you can splurge a bit for one of the gorgoues scarfs and look like a real rock star.

Or you can channel your wierdo and emo out to Morissey’s live cut of “Something Is Squeezing My Skull” and scoff at how lame skull fashions are. Yes, that’s the hipster thing to do.
