There is a new lamp on the market that you can actually 'turn on' by slapping, pinching or squeezing it. London-based designer Joseph Begley has created the 'Slap It,' a silicone butt that can turn 10 different colors, and be mounted on a wall or free standing.
The soft lamp currently has its own Twitter and Instagram accounts, and is featured in a video with the Sir Mix-A-Lot classic song 'I like big butts' as its soundtrack. This jiggling lamp has been featured in GQ, Vogue, and Squaremile magazine, and is capturing the attention of butt-loving early adopters around the world.
The 'Slap It' recently sold out of stock, but can currently be pre-ordered for Christmas at a cost of £149.00. The future has become a bit 'brighter' for anyone with a butt fetish or eccentric taste of furniture.
