What do you Own That's Turned Heads?

[cahtush]

Well it doesn't really turn heads because basically no one sees it, but a part of a wall of my room is covered in kitten posters. Considering my age, gender and sexuality (17, male and straight) it would seem a bit weird if you didn't know me.

I like cats.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I keep a replica Colt Navy on my mantle and I have an entire bookshelf of PnP Roleplaying Games that I keep in the main room of my house (it's obviously nerdy but at the same time most hardcover RPG books are quite nice looking books)...

Also my cats, everyone loves my cats... attention whoring fuzzbeasts...

 

[soren7550]

My boots designed by AYYA. Me and the GF are designers so we make a lot of our own stuff car parts, clothing, etc... So some stuff turns heads.

Those look cool, but the look like they'd feel a bit weird to wear.

This is my wristwatch

Dear god that's awesome.

The only thing that I currently own that turned heads is two cosplays:

Spoiler: Joanna Dark

(the bra that gave me that super busty look was ruined by the evil washing machine, so I guess it won't turn many heads now)

Spoiler: HeartGold/SoulSilver Male Player Character

Sorry, I don't have any pics of just me in it. People did take pictures of me in it at NYCC, but I haven't found any of them.

 

[Dragoon]

I have Little Kuribohs (the guy who made Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged)and Erin Fitzgeralds (the curennt VA for Chie) autographs

Spoiler: Here they are

and a rare £5 coin from the queens golden jubilee. That's about the best I've got right now.

 

[omega 616]

I have a number of "offensive" tops that have gotten a few laughs.

Spoiler: T's

I have a few more

Spoiler: I also have one of these, takes me between 10-15 minutes to solve it

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Well, on a few occasions I've dared to venture outside while wearing my top hat. That tends catch people's attention. Last week I went to town wearing my hat, a suit and a cane. Seeing as I can pass for 15 when shaved, it may have looked a bit odd. I considered getting a cape, but that would have been too much.

 

[loc978]

Quite a few things, actually.

Spoiler: My daily driver turns heads most places I go

My daily driver turns heads most places I go, being very British, from 1974 and in the States makes it a very rare sight:

Spoiler: My sword collection tends to either fascinate or scare the shit out of people who visit my house for the first time

My sword collection tends to either fascinate or scare the shit out of people who visit my house for the first time:

Spoiler: ...and my favorite rifles tend to turn heads at any firing range

...and my favorite rifles tend to turn heads at any firing range:

-the PSL mostly for looking flashy, old, and very Soviet

-the Arisaka Type 99 for still having an intact imperial seal, for those who don't just have a "what the fuck is that?" reaction.

 

[HellbirdIV]

I've been known to wear a kilt in public, and the black, dark blue and green pattern of it kind of makes it blend together so it looks like a black skirt from a distance. Add a leather jacket because it's cold, and I look plenty strange.

 

[Robot Number V]

Well, I have this thing on the wall of my living room:

Spoiler: Warning: Somewhat massive image

It's about 7 feet tall, maybe about a foot and half wide. It's a pretty good conversation starter.

Oh, and we also have a foosball table.

 

[SkullKing84]

My 2 year old son. he is HUGE for his age so most people guess that he is almost 4.

A massive collection of skulls.

Horror movie collection.

And, Even bigger collection of smiley faces.

When I was younger, it was a collection of brains in Jars. Sheeps' brains to be exact. Why, cause I wanted them. My dad thought it was interesting and actually got them for me.

(the bra that gave me that super busty look was ruined by the evil washing machine, so I guess it won't turn many heads now)

Man, that is an absolute tragedy. Seriously.

OT: I buy a lot of strange-looking coats and jackets.

Spoiler: Like this

Funny enough, when I first start wearing them I feel like everyone's staring, but after a while I get used to it and it seems like nobody really notices. The only difference is my mindset.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

This is my game that doesn't exist

Holy balls! Star Fox 2? I've played an emulation but I had no idea that cartridges were ever made. This is now officially the most impressive thing in the whole thread!

 

[II2]

Used to have the walls and ceiling in my old place covered in band art and posters and such that gave my room a lot of stuff to let people's eyes wander across. Still nothing I had is a touch on ol Steven Stapleton's ranch:

 

[The Funslinger]

My Kindle. It's sort of become a thing where I have to explain to people that it's not touch screen and why I specifically didn't get one with a touch screen or the actual tablet.

Because you didn't want fingerprint smudges obscuring your reading?

OT:

While I don't really take it out of the house, my Gurkha issue Kukri has intrigued some people.

Spoiler

For something that actually does turn heads in public...

Spoiler: I'm going with my choice of headwear

OT: I buy a lot of strange-looking coats and jackets.

That's pretty much how I was with the hat. I guess it's to do with personal self-consciousness. Though I still get people saying "howdy" when they pass me, or saying something to the effect of "lol Indiana Jones".

 

[Wakey87]

I have a deactivated Bren gun from WW2 which people find interesting and as someone as already mentioned anything anime related kinda grabs peoples attention lol

I also have a shisha pipe in my living room, It's like part of the funiture to me but people like to point it out.

Exactly. Plus, the touch screen one doesn't do anything the one with buttons can't, so what's the point?

I know, and I can't really wear the top for the cosplay now either (as well as a very similar non-cosplay one) since it's backless, and the bra could be made strapless thus I could wear the top without looking weird. But it's ruined, and I'm stuck looking flat as a pancake. (haven't been able to find a replacement since the place I got it from was shut down)

That's a sweet coat by the way.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I own a Gameklip, a bit tame compared to some of the stuff on here. It basically lets me mount my smart phone to a PS3 Controller, and then use a wire to allow me to play certain games with PS3 Control. Its caught some attention at college where I used it, also helps with photos but most importanty it makes Dead Trigger mind bogglingly easy

Not at all, if you've ever worn sandals or flippty flops or whatever you call them its the same experience, you basically forget about the seperation and the toes have a wider range of spread which is a lot better for your feet.

The designers that made these also made the shoes for Mirrors edge, and the design of my boots was used in the 2009 Star trek movie.

 

[Zombie Sodomy]

I have a Katana, a gas mask, some oscilloscopes, and a plastic butt they use to teach nurses how to give suppositories, butt shots, and take your temperature. I am in no way associated with the medical profession. I also wear a bowler.
