In this French hamster villa guests put on furry hamster hats, run on their own exercise wheels, nibble on hamster food, and sleep on stacks of hay. This is madness — $150 a night to sleep on hay?

You can't turn on the TV with out running into a little bit of Furry fodder these days. The fur love is practically being courted in Hollywood. So I rounded up the best of the best, and tried my darndest to rank them by Furry sex appeal. Do you agree with the winners and the furry losers?

Cameron told reporters at Comic Con, that he kept tweaking his Na'Vi aliens, asking his all-male crew over and over, "Would you want to do her?" (Probably in reference to Zoe Saldana's Neytiri.) So now that you've seen the movie's trailer — and many of you have seen 16 minutes of the film in full-on 3-D Imax — what's your verdict?

These images are from a series of sculptures and concept designs called Soundsuits created by Nick Cave - not the singer, the artist. Here you can see his furry suits at rest, looking very alien indeed. Cave's eye for the absurd and otherworldly is delightful. Apparently many of his suits make musical noises as they move, especially these you see below, which are covered in adornments.

These two outfits look to me like spacesuits:

And of course this is clearly a cyborg who has merged her own body with the Earth itself. Or maybe it's Swamp Thing's cute younger brother.

Cave is a former fashion designer, and you can find out more about his latest work at Feuilleton. (via Ecstatic Days)
