Dumped! by Meg Watcher (9 pics)

Pepto-Bismol



Would you ever dump something as gross as goop onto your head, and later take a snapshot of your reaction to it? After taking a look at Meg Watcher's collection, I'm having second thoughts, cause these look super fun, and cringeworthy; especially with your friends who wouldn't mind getting their hands(or should I say heads) dirty!

Hyperrealistic Sculptures by Jamie Salmon (6 pics)

Don't be fooled, realistic as he is, he is not real.
