You know that old saying, “I’ll listen to you when pigs rainbow unicorns fly?”  Well, it applies perfectly here, because this means that all of you have to start obeying my iron-fisted commands.  By the way, these iron fists of mine are really going to give me some great arm strength, which will only cement my hold on the impoverished country over which I reign.  “Why such the egotistic today?”  Because it’s my birthday, and I will cry if I want to.

If you are observant, you have noticed that the Rainbow Flying Unicorn Cake has six legs.  Well, actually, there is a smaller offspring of the unicorn sheltering under it’s mother – the picture below should clear things up.

If you are falling in love with the Rainbow Flying Unicorn Cake, don’t, because I bet someone has already stuffed their face with it.  If you enjoy looking at this geeky cake almost as much as you enjoy staring at me during Spanish class, then you’ll want to check out some other geeky cakes like the Stay Puft Ghostbusters Cake and the Lickable Wallpaper That Tastes Like Cake.  ”That’s not cake, that’s wallpaper.”  Has the word cake in it, so I don’t care.

I might have to make the image below my new desktop wallpaper on my 27-inch iMac. Is it just me, or was Nyan Cat actually inspired by these t-shirts?

The guys over at MacMothership dug up these awesome retro images of the catalog, filled with wondrous rainbow-colored Apple swag from the 80s.

While the t-shirts and coffee mugs are pretty great, I really wish I knew where I could find the Apple logo latch-hook rug, or the already-assembled wall-hanging version for my office.

Or how about a nifty smoked plastic caddy for all your Elephant and Verbatim 5-1/4″ floppies? I think I still have a few of those kicking around my basement somewhere. (I like how they have to point out that the $26 price does not include the computer system.)

The catalog also featured everything from Apple tie-tacks to a belt buckle and pendants.

They even had an official Apple kite. Sweet. Given the popularity of the brand, Apple really should consider slapping their logo on some new gifties for the 2011 holiday season. I’m sure they’d sell a literal crap-ton.

Check out the rest of the 1983 Apple Gift Catalog, along with tons of other classic Apple memorabilia over at MacMothership.

(Of course, I know SLRs are huge and bulky and heavy in nature, but I retain rights to complain about it because I am a woman with muscle-less arms.)

But today, I laid my eyes on possibly the most gorgeous DSLR that might just push me to overcome the first factor that’s been holding me back from getting one: the Pentax Ribbon K-r.

Isn’t she just a beaut? Now I may not know much about cameras, but I know women, and women like me sometimes need a shove in the right direction, even though it’s just the appearances that’s drawing us in.

The Pentax Rainbow K-r [JP] is actually a limited-edition DSLR that encases Pentax’s K-r series of cameras in an all-new and colorful housing. The design was cooked up in conjunction with Tower Records, and the Rainbow is actually the second camera released as a result of their’ collaboration.

The bad news is that it’s only being released in Japan. The good news is that you can likely pre-order one from Japan-based importers like Rinkya.

They don’t come cheap and will retail at around $1,100 (USD), but this set does already come with a DA 35mm F2.4 AL lens. However, the blah-looking normal Pentax K-r is priced at $800 with the added lenses though, so technically you’re paying an extra three hundred bucks for the added color.

Call me crazy, but I actually think it’s worth it.

You can check out the specifications of the Pentax K-r right here.

And while Apple hasn’t used the classic rainbow logo since 1998, I have a funny feeling that neither Steve Jobs nor the T-Qualizer guys had anything to do with this shirt. That said, you’d better get your hands on one before somebody’s lawyers see this post.

If you move quick, you can grab one over at JetsSoBox or over on eBay for somewhere between $20 and $45 USD.

Richard Thomas’ clever creation is made from sliced kiwis, bananas, oranges, strawberries, green and red grapes and blueberries.

Ironically, not a single apple found its way into the picture.

The Rainbow Stone (which looks more like a clam than a stone to me) uses a set of colored LEDs which are bounced off of a curved mirror to produce an ever-changing rainbow of fruit flavors colors. As is almost always the case with these type of gadgets, the effect works best in a totally darkened room.

Available from Korea’s Gadget8, the Rainbow Stone is currently on sale for KRW 35,000 (about $38 USD.)

Perhaps better suited for nightclubs or restaurants than for your home, these Light Energy Paintings can fill a wall with a dazzling show of colored light. The displays come in sizes as large as 48-inches in diameter, and use up to a dozen super-bright multi-color LED fixtures to project a variety of color effects onto a translucent screen.

The company even makes versions which are mounted into cocktail tables and even a dining table too. What’s with that sculpture of the Fortress of Solitude in the middle of the picture, though?

The company’s LED displays range in price from about $2000 all the way up to $5000 and beyond, depending on the features you choose.
