Give Your Phone the Props It Deserves With a Sleek Stand
I'm all about making my own iPhone or cell stand out of random objects, but if you want more of a traditional (read: new) and purposeful item, check out the sleek Philippi Mobile Phone Panel ($26).
This handy chrome desk accessory props up your cell so you can watch TV shows, make for easy viewing of your Twilight clock, or keep an obsessive eye out for any signs of a ring. It also works as a stand for your iPod or MP3 player so you can rock your tunes upright to quickly and easily check the titles of songs, or flip through your playlists.
How to Make A Cell Phone Stand from a Business Card
If you're like me you spend half the day picking up your cell phone to see if it's vibrating or if you're just losing your mind. That obsession can be easily fixed by creating a cell phone stand, which will allow you to screen your calls, or watch videos on your device (iPhone, iPod, PMP, other) without having to hold it up at a comfortable angle.
Instructables has put together a simple guide to creating a stand for your iPod or cell phone out of a business card.

One Night Stand Kit — Hilarious or Horrifying?
When I first saw the pink beaded strands in this One Night Stand Kit ($19), I thought they were hair rubber bands, which actually could come in handy during an unexpected hookup. But no, they are "love beads," packaged alongside a tiny vibrator, a vibrator ring, Please Gel samples, and two condoms — everything you'd need for a one-night stand. (This is basically the Walk of Shame Kit but without the cancer awareness bracelet!) Assuming you don't live in Alabama, would you buy something like this?
The Dave Scale: Cheap, Not So Cheap, Exorbitant
What recession? Remember last week, when I pinpointed Target's pricier version of my beloved Dave laptop stand from Ikea?
Yeah.
DIY: Grass Skirt TV Stand
I first saw Hawaiian grass skirts used to conceal clutter in one of my favorite decorating books, Pad. A few years ago, frustrated with the lack of stylish TV stands available, I decided to create my own grass-skirted version with a shelf I bought at Ikea. (Please forgive the poor quality of the photo; I've since upgraded to a new stand and couldn't take another one.)
By attaching the grass skirt to swiveling curtain rods that open and close like cabinets, you have a fun and funky way to conceal your DVD player and DVDs underneath.

The Prism 50 comes in black and white or all black, and it's just modern simplicity at its sexiest.

Have You Ever Had a One-Night Stand?
The infamous one-night stand takes the concept of casual sex to the extreme. There are serious risks to consider when having sex with someone you don't know too well, like STIs and regret, but there can be something exciting and enjoyable about no-strings-attached sex.
Since even a serial monogamist might have had a one-night stand once in her life, I'm curious — have you?
Cool Idea: An Easel as TV Stand
Since I don't watch much TV, updating my hefty idiot box to an ultra slim HD flatscreen is not very high on my list of priorities. But if I did own the latest and greatest in television technology, I would love to use an artist's easel as a stand, like this one featured in House Beautiful. Tech gadgets are always difficult to coordinate with décor, but that's especially true when your design scheme is earthy and traditional.
