From the same guys that created the SlaveCity dystopia comes a cool alternative to the warmly lit, lavender-scented spa of the present—a giant skull with separate compartments for all your relaxation needs. The Wellness Skull houses a bath in its neck, a sauna in the head, and hot steam spouts at the eye sockets. There's no pretentious receptionist or wind-chime music to help you chill out—stepping into the skull will instantly take away the worries of contemporary society and fill you with thoughts of life, death, and the emptiness of our physical selves. It's like an instant dose of existential meditation. Atelier van Lieshout main page

...yes.... - and the imagery of steam coming out of its eyes and wierd colours/sounds out of other orifices will make an excellent spectacle for the neighbors who were wondering what this Raiders of Ark-i-esque idol was doing. All sigh when realized that no pagan rituals will ensue...
Needs a top hat or some roses or something.
Cool.... but does it come on Crystal.
I had too.

balneario de las Muertos!
Someone tell me if I translated that correctly. I took one semester of elementary spanish and passed with a C, so i'm a little shaky.
I strangely like the zygomatic arches, but it's missing something.
Like a child size manikin or stuffed dog between it's teeth.
..and you could dress it up for all those special occasions - eye-patch and tri-corner for Hallowe'en, elf hat and beard for christmas, fluffy ears for easter, leprechan get-up for st.pats - the possibilities, as well as your neighbourhood cred, are endless...
I've had mornings when I felt as though someone was having a sauna inside my skull. Fuckin' Jack Daniels...
Now, if they made one that looked like boobs, count me in.
A charming addition to any burbclave back yard.
I'd only purchase if the jaw was functional.
Because I'm just that picky.
I had a bong like this once.
@strider_mt2k:
How about some red lens glasses = Killface (from Frisky Dingo)
I'm so gothic, I bathe in a giant skull.
I want to see a forensic reconstruction of what the giant person would have looked like.
Also: they couldn't think of anything to put in the mouth? Not even a futon?
"Wind-chime music"? With a skull that size, I'd totally rock out to metal! Or at least, take a photo and make album art of it. WHEN GIANTS WALKED... AND ROCKED!
I'm also reminded of the neon-lit battle platforms in the inner caverns at the end of Big Trouble In Little China.
@caltrop2004: Killface, yes :D
Also, a sugar skull/calabera from the Mexican day of the dead :D
