Don Ho, Peter Gabriel, Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Danno, and a monkey

I have previously annointed Pat and Mick‘s YouTube masterpiece as the most Eighties music video of all time but, having now seen what you are about to see, I must reconsider. This has everything, including Giant Squid, a midnight zoo jailbreak, skydiving, a luau, flaming tiki torches, an octopus drummer, and a David Hasselhoff cameo. What more could you possibly want?

Life & Style of the Great Old Ones

Rising couple the Nyarlathoteps have previously given our readers a peek at the stunningly exotic landscaping features they’ve installed at their new Miami mansion. Now come with us as they take us on an exclusive tour of the interior of their eldritch neo-Aegyptian hideaway.

Coffee Set

Their handpainted china, commissioned from a secret Asian workshop “somewhere on the Plateau of Leng.”

Alien Coffee Table

Their custom-designed bibelots tables from “the Dark Star beyond Aldebaran,” which is a label so exclusive it is one of which we at L&S have never heard. How exciting!

Angel of the Apocalypse

Their most unusual garden fixtures. This is their play structure for “the frolics” by which we take it to mean they’re planning on having many little Nyarlathoteps soon.

“Oh yes,” says Mr. Nyarlathotep (call me Abdul, he says to our interviewer, graciously) “We are planning to have many, many children, aren’t we, Shub?”

And his wife smiles inscrutably as she strokes one of their collection of sleek, black cats.

Interstellar House and Garden

Nyarlathotep? Azathoth!The old Gloaming homestead of Miami has been given a glamorous new makeover since those exotic and exciting social dynamos the Nyarlathoteps rescued it in April of this year. The redecoration has spared no expense, and the charmingly distressed mansion is filled with those remarkable and seductively alien little touches that remind the owners of their former home. Eldritch-y!

They are from France.

And just wait till you see what they’ve done with the cellar!

Calls for Cthulhu #6: Special Guest Star Xenu!

It’s time for another episode of everyone’s favorite call-in show, and ohhhhh, by Shub-Niggurath, this is a good one! It’s not every day that you get to hear from Xenu himself! Wonder what Tom Cruise thinks of this?

the consolations of a gossip blogger

We at the ol’ raincoaster blog are experiencing several layers of technical difficulty, some, but not all, relating to our roomie’s streaming video addiction. Tomorrow we shall pull plugs or go out and deal with the public (gasp!) until this thing works better. In the meantime, here’s something I found while doing my “soul-killing” day job as a gossip blog link wrangler. If there’s a beefcake shot you’d prefer to see (Shia Leboef, Colin Farrell, whoever) drop your requests in the comments. I’ll do my best, although I draw the line at Federline. I’m so, so tired of him making sock puppet comments.

Welcome back, my Butterscotch Stallion.
