But as with most bottles, the real treasure lies within. Tufts of feathers so crimson you’ll think they were strands of fire: the fabled Phoenix Down. They could also just be chicken feathers dyed red. Or Iron Man MacBook Pro decals ripped to shreds.

Magical they are not, but these pendants and charms are powerful enough to revive your style. They’re certainly better than tent or cottage pendants.  Most of them have a winged accent and findings made of pewter, while the simpler ones have cork stoppers.

Can you imagine walking behind someone with the T-virus bobbing along in their hair? I’m not sure if I’d ask ‘em to get some coffee or if I’d be forced to karate chop them into the next world in order to save this one. Probably the former. But let’s not linger on my violent tendencies, and instead look at another example: Portal hairsticks. There’s a game that’s been really popular lately with the crafters.

At $20 a pair, I can’t say these are a bad deal, but you’d also have to deal with hearing “The cake is a lie!” over and over and over….
