Disderi 3 Lens Robot Camera – The Cutest Camera Ever!!!
Courtesy of Lomography.com
Yes it’s true, it’s another actionsampler camera. Then what makes this one so special? Why should you buy this one? First of all: the design is so cute that you’re guaranteed to make other people smile when you point at them with your robot camera. Great plus: it’s very cheap! You can find really good online deals and it’ll propably be one of the cheapest new cameras you’ll ever buy.
But I haven’t talked about the best thing: the unique way the pictures look. The 3 lenses give you one wide image and two more ‘square’ ones, but in between them are round beautiful and unique borders that give your images an extra twist. The image is of course inverted, so normally you get the widest image on top of the picture. Best of all is that you can play with it: keeping your camera upside down, on the left or the right side, will give very different pictures. The disderi collection also exists with 2 or 4 lenses, but personally I prefer the 3 lens one, because of the typical borders and the possibility to turn. And last but not least: the sound when you click on the shutter is soooo funny that every click on the button is definitely fun!

WHITE CASTLE AIR FRESHENER!!!
This week White Castle debuted a $10 Slyder-scented candle to benefit Autism Speaks. They're currently sold out online, but you can still get a hamburger-scented air freshener. Either way, it's easier on your belly than eating White Castle. [N.Y. Post]Send an email to Margaret Hartmann, the author of this post, at margaret@jezebel.com.

Rumors: HFStival to return to Merriweather Sept. 18?!
A little late on this, but it's still pertinent...Courtest of the Mid Night Sun...
After a four year hiatus, the HFStival could return to Merriweather Post Pavilion Sept. 18, according to local media news and gossip site DCRTV.
If the rumors are true, the lineup could include a where-are-they-now list of '90s acts such as Third Eye Blind (pictured), Fuel, Marcy Playground, Better Than Ezra, Billy Idol and Presidents of the USA.
Though HFS no longer exists as a terrestrial radio station, it continues to stream online and broadcast on 94.7's HD2 channel ...
A longtime staple for alternative fans, the HFStival began in Fairfax, Va., in 1990, moved to RFK Stadium in 1993, and ended its 16-year run at Merriweather in 2006.
Merriweather's publicist declined to comment and a call to HFS was not returned. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something concrete about the festival.
UPDATE: I spoke with Sam Rogers, a spokesman for CBS Radio in Washington, who confirmed that the festival is indeed happening. He wouldn't confirm where, when and who is headlining, though, but he said it's possible to have an HFStival without WHFS on the air.
"HFStival is a brand name," Rogers said. "People still have passion for the festival. We think it's a good idea. ... Virgin Fest is a brand name that doesn't have to have a radio station connected to it."
