Hollywood special effects whiz, Kevin Carter, has released a range of unusual contact lenses for those seeking something a little different. Almost as good as change of hair colour, or a holiday, the coloured contact lenses each take Carter two days to dye, and are made up of 55% water with a fixed clear centre which allows their wearers to see. The lenses however do not come cheap, at around $600 a pair, but they can make wearers look literally out of this world.

A strange new sweet treat has hit the market, from the makers of human breast milk icecream, called Vice Lolly. The lollypop is green, shaped like a gun, and is 80% made from the super strength alcohol, absinthe, mixed with three parts holy water from Lourdes. The lollypop costs around $30 a piece from The Icecreamists in London’s Covent Garden. “I have a source in France that bought the holy water for me in plastic bottles,” said Vice Lolly creator, Matt O’Connor. “After it was shipped over I spent a lot of time tasting it with absinthe and sugar to get the taste and balance just right. “It tastes alcoholic with a touch of sweetness. “After about three of these the average drinker would certainly be feeling the effects,” he said.
