Little Joseph Candle Holder

I have always maintained that there is little else in the world as creepy as children - and these candle holders don't do much to refute that.  Named "Little Joseph" and designed by Maxim Velcovsky for Qubus, these baby heads hold a candle so that, as it melts, it drips over the baby's head.  The website describes it as giving Little Joseph a "wax hairdo," but personally, I think it looks like the baby's head is melting.  I'm sure a red candle would look just smashing.  The baby's small, expressionless eyes only add to the creep-factor, making it the perfect conversation piece for a tense dinner with the in-laws.
