10 Kickstarter Projects We Love Right Now (Yes, Including a New Adult Coloring Book!)

We’re pretty obsessed with crowdfunding projects. Most of the time, we hunt down ones that are either some far-out tech idea we never could have dreamed up or things that make every day life a lot easier. This time around, we’re showcasing products that make life more luxurious and just better. A shower head that uses 70 percent less water, yet still allows you to take long, hot showers, chic cooking spices and an adult coloring book are all making this month’s Kickstarter faves.

1. The Strongest Screen Guard Ever: The most annoying thing about touchscreen phones is that the screen cracks ridiculously easily. Instead of complaining about it like, um, most people, five geniuses from Canada invented Metearmor, which claims to be the strongest screen guard in existence. In the demo, they literally throw an iPhone down the stairs and the screen remains uncracked. The guard has four layers of protection, including one layer of silicon. Amazingly, the screen guard doesn’t look bulky: you can’t even really see it. No wonder the project already has over $5,000 in funding.

2. Shower Head That Uses 70 Percent Less Water: The West Coast water shortage is a real wake-up call. But giving up luxurious hot showers is really hard, which is why we’re geeking out about the Nebia Shower. The shower head uses 70 percent less water than a typical shower head. And no, that doesn’t mean there’s just a trickle coming out. Basically it shrinks down the water droplets. Hey, maybe it means your hair will dry faster too. A girl can hope.

3. The Most Stylish Spice Line Ever: We never thought cooking spices could do double duty as kitchen decor, until now. ILA is a line of spices that are packaged in glamorous black and gold and look more like expensive beauty products than spices. The debut collection includes sea salt, maple syrup, wildflower honey and olive oil.

4. Suction Cup for Your Phone: Not to be all anti-Selfie Stick, but this new Kickstarter would make taking selfies a lot less awkward. Nanohold is basically a suction cup for your phone, allowing it to stick to any surface. So if you want to take a photo of you and your bae without your arm taking up half the frame, you can just stick this baby on a window or mirror, set a selfie timer and voila. It also would come in handy at the gym, if you want to follow a YouTube workout. It’s yet another invention we didn’t know we needed, but now want desperately.

5. A Civil Rights Documentary That Raises Awareness: Everyone is familiar with how Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks contributed to the Civil Rights Movement, but a lot of people don’t know who Emmett Louis Till is. A new documentary, Till, is attempting to change that. Till was a black teen growing up in the 1950s Chicago. One day, he whistled at a married woman he thought was attractive. Later that night, the woman’s husband kidnapped Till and beat him to death. Amazingly, his murderers were found not guilty. The event was a huge injustice, and his story needs to be told.

6. A Magical Adult Coloring Book: We’re all for pushing the boundaries of creativity, but there’s something soothing about coloring inside the lines, no matter how old you are. Legendary Landscapes is a beautiful coloring book for adults. The focus is on nature, so you can create breathtaking sunrises or forest imagery, even if you were always an art class outcast. The pages are so pretty, when you’re done, you can tear ’em out, frame them and use them as new wall art.

7. Tea Truck: Food truck culture is everywhere these days, but two Bay Area besties are changing the game with their tea truck, Steep Tea Co. The duo drives around selling loose-leaf custom-brewed tea out of a 1967 Jeep Postal Truck. The teas look seriously delicious and include actual dried fruit. They want to grow their business to ship their teas to customers and cafes all over the world.

8. Magnetic Stylus Holder for Your Tablet: Pens are notoriously easy to lose, which you really don’t want to do if you use a stylus. One tech-loving designer is solving that problem with Remora, a sleek leather Stylus holder that attaches to magnetic iPad cases. Tech lovers, this is the office accessory you need.

9. Coolest Lantern Ever: This design idea is simplistic but really makes a statement. Called the Cabin Lantern, it’s essentially a single bulb on a block of wood that you can take with you anywhere. Edison bulbs look cool on their own, so why hide them in some ornate light fixture? This Scandinavian-inspired design really lets it shine — pun intended.

10. A Radio Show for Childrens’ Books Lovers: Awesome dads Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp made a cool radio show together called The Yarn, which takes kids behind the scenes of some of their favorite books. They interviewed a slew of children’s authors to get the story behind the story, which both kids and adults love. Now, they’re trying to get funding for another season. Rock on, podcast culture.

Can't stop saying, "Piper, nooooooo" because of Parker Posey's portrayal of Victoria Ratliff in The White Lotus? We don't blame you because she knows how to steal a scene. Now that we think about it, she's been doing that for a while which is why we've been ruminating on some of the best movies she's appeared in.

Half of them are cult classics that have earned Parker Posey the title of a "90s indie queen," according to her The White Lotus co-star Michelle Monaghan(via E! News) and we agree. But she's also appeared in 2000s films we love watching too!

Whether it's been a supporting or starring role, Parker's found a way to steal the show with her memorable quips as well as unforgettable facial expressions.

Scroll to see which of Parker Posey's movies we've enjoyed throughout the years

1. Dazed and Confused (1993)

Universal Pictures/IMDB

P.S. It features the outdated and harmful practice of "hazing" so viewer discretion is advised.

Before there was Not Another Teen Movie, the '90s gave us Dazed and Confused. For several reasons, it's one of those indie cult classics that some of the biggest celebrities have appeared in. From Matthew McConaughey to Renée Zellwegger, viewers watched them portray high schoolers navigating the day before summer break.

Parker's role was a senior named Darla who was a part of a group who eagerly humiliated freshmen girls. Though she didn't have a huge breakout role, the familiar facial expressions we mentioned earlier were on full display.

2. Drunk Girls (1995)

IMDB

Drunks is a little darker in nature than Dazed and Confused, but still maintains the indie spirit Parker's known for. It follows those who struggle with alcoholism and other addictions as they seek therapy for their issues. Between the main character's attempts at getting better and the other attendees' journeys, viewers are subject to the uneasy trajectory addicts face.

Parker's character was Debbie, a girl who loved partying but decided it wasn't worth drunk all the time. However, her new obsession happened to be football.

3. Party Girls (1995)

Sony Pictures/IMDB

That same year, Parker Posey appeared in Party Girl where she took on the role of partier Mary and her obsession with having as much fun as she could. When her habit lands her in trouble, she's indebted to her godmother and starts working at a library. Though things start going well, a lewd act causes her to lose her job and forces her to part ways with beloved vintage pieces.

Over time, Mary learns to grow up and find her true purpose in life while also realizing she can have fun doing things that don't get her in trouble.

4. The Daytrippers (1997)

Columbia Pictures/IMDB

The Daytrippers is another funny indie movie that takes viewers on a wild goose chase that ends with a shocking discovery. When one woman (Hope Davis) is convinced her husband's cheating on her, she and her family decide to take a trip to NYC to find out what's going on. Hilariously, Parker Posey plays the woman's sister who thinks it's a great idea to bring her boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) along for the adventure.

In a series of side-splitting moments, viewers watch as their family tries to solve the great mystery of who's at the center of the cheating scandal only to wish they didn't know towards the end of the movie.

5. The House of Yes (1997)

Miramax Films/IMDB

P.S. The topic of incest is broached in this movie.

Parker Posey takes on the role of a woman named "Jackie-O" who won't let go of JFK's assassination in The House of Yes. When her twin brother Marty Pascal reveals news of his engagement, Jackie-O does everything she can to cause friction between him and his new fiancée. Over time, it's revealed the twins had an uncharacteristically close relationship which explains Jackie-O's jealousy. However, things get even weirder when it seems like people are aware of Marty and Jackie-O's "relationship," which causes chaos and confusion.

By the end of the film, viewers are left shocked when Marty dies and it seems like Jackie-O's "plan" succeeded.

6. You've Got Mail (1998)

Warner Bros./IMDB

Next to Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail will always be one of our favorite love stories. However, Tom Hanks' Joe Fox doesn't remain in love with Parker Posey's Patricia Eden. As we all know and love, he instead falls for Meg Ryan's Kathleen Kelly after exchanging a series of AOL chat messages. However, they're unaware they're in charge of competing bookstores.

When their online messages lead to a mutual meetup and Joe realizes who Kathleen is, he almost decides it's not worth
"introducing" himself to her. But love is hard to ignore and the two eventually find themselves right where they're supposed to be by the end of the movie.

Miramax/IMDB

Scream 3 (2000)

When Parker Posey's Jennifer Jolie is posed to play Gail Weathers (Courtney Cox) in a new Stab 3 movie, the set is shut down when a new series of murders begins. Ironically, Jennifer and Dewey Riley (David Arquette) are in a relationship which bothers Gail. However, they have to set their petty rivalries aside as they work together with the remaining cast to figure out when the killer will strike next.

Sadly, the killer discovers where a secluded Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) resides which forces her to help the cast as well. By the end of the film, it's revealed that killer's always know who Sidney is and was responsible for everything that's happened to her as well as everyone around her or the people involved in the Stab franchise.

And while we would've loved if Parker's Jennifer survived, she meets a terrible end towards the end of Scream 3.

8. Josie and the Pussycats (2001)

Universal Pictures/IMDB

Did you really grow up during the '90s if you didn't know who Josie and the Pussycats were? All jokes aside, this girl group felt similar to our reverence of The Spice Girls, but in kid-friendly form.

The movie follows The Pussycats (Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson) as they try to secure a name for themselves in the music industry. They're discovered by MegaRecords executive Wyatt Frame (Alan Cumming) and sign the biggest deal of their lives.

They immediately begin feeling uncomfortable and it's all for good reason because MegaRecords' CEO Fiona (Parker Posey) is working the the government to essentially brainwash young teens who listen to music. There's also the obvious message that any musicians who discover what they're doing meet a terrible end so the company is able to continue its nefarious plot.

Towards the end of the movie, the brainwashing seems to come to an end and the beloved group is able to maintain their popularity without the aid of terrible messaging that could harm teens.

9. Blade: Trinity (2004)

New Line Cinema/IMDB

Parker Posey as Danica Talos in Blade: Trinity was one of favorite characters we loved to hate! She really put the "super" in supervillain because she was condescending and ruthless in her quest to help ruin Blade. However, what sealed it for us was when she and her team allowed for the death of the Nightstalkers' (Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds) trusted scientist Sommerfield.

Danica eventually meets a dramatic end where her corpse fades into ash and it feels like a delicious end to such a terrible character (we still love you Parker!).

10. Mascots (2016)

Scott Garfield/Netflix

Only Parkey Posey could pull off a character named Cindi Babineaux in Mascots who was among other actors portraying the lives of mascots getting ready to attend the World Mascot Association Championships. Taking it very seriously, viewers are given a BTS look at what it takes to prep for something "prestigious" as this and it's quirky as you think.

For starters, Cindi Babineaux's mascot is an armadillo whose moves are quite elaborate given her dancer's background. Secondly, the competition features outlandish routines that somehow make you root for the mascot you'll come to appreciate the most.
