Shira's Inbox: My Wacky Internet Finds Of The Week
Just in time for Halloween, you can even dress like one of the characters! Christian Joy, the designer behind the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O's crazy costumes, has designed five monster suits based on the film. They're currently on display in New York City and you can snag one of them with proceeds going to 826LA, a non-profit writing and tutoring center.

Inspired by Craigslist's Missed Connections section, where people can find or reconnect with romantic interests, she began illustrating artwork based on the situations. The result is some fabulously quirky art pieces that you can find on her blog MissedConnectionsNY or for purchase on Etsy.
