Last week, GearCrave asked you, dear reader, what you think about us adding a weekly feature called “Girl of the Week“. 119 of you answered– 85% of you thought it was a great idea, while 13% of you were a little cautious. These results have helped us decide that we will be featuring a GearCrave Girl of the Week beginning later this month. To the 13% who didn’t like the idea, we assure you GearCrave will never be a Maxim magazine or feature purely T&A. Our goal is to find and feature women with as much brains as beauty, and to feature them as personalities– not just pretty faces. High caliber women are an important part of the fine lifestyle for men, so we thought we’d do our part in sharing some of these with you, once per week. Continue reading after the break for the list of our other favorite and noteworthy posts from last week.

Last week was a solid week at GearCrave– we reviewed and gave away a Leatherman Skeletool, we discovered how to buy a missile silo, we found periodic element rings, Frank Lloyd Wright lanterns and even curtains made of code. That’s right, ASCII Curtains, which happen to be our favorites from last week. These ASCII curtains make natural prints, like the tree shown above, out of ASCII code. While they’re not available at a shop near you (nor in English), these still stand out as our favorite of the week. Continue reading for GearCrave’s other high points from last week.

If you’re a Northerner, like your humble GearCrave editor, you’ve dealt with one hell of a tough winter.  For GearCravers in New York, Chicago, Detroit, all the way to the Pacific Northwest, chances are 40 degrees Fahrenheit feels like paradise to you.  It sure does for us.  Now that the Spring season has reared its beautiful head, we’re itching to get out– we want to hit the fairways and the open roads, we want to fire up our grills and get Spring cooking.  That said, we elect the Cervelo RS as our “best of last week”, as it fulfills our Spring craving.  After all, the road bike is the ultimate “green automobile”, and the Cervelo RS is among the most lustworthy on the road.  Continue reading for more of our favorites from last week, and keep your eye on many more to come this week!

GearCrave had quite a week last week. Picking our “best of” wasn’t easy, we ended up in a draw between five great posts. That Audi R8? That thing is just far too beautiful not to show again. This $109,000+ 420 HP muscle car really gets our gearlust going. Motorcraving aside, we had plenty to talk about last week. Did you miss anything? Here’s a roundup of our top stories from last week.

• For a third of the price of that Audi R8, you can get yourself a gorgeous DIY airplane kit from kit maker Velocity Aircraft.
• Do you like bikini models? We like bikini models. We’ve got the details on how to be a swimsuit photographer.
• ThreadLess.com CEO Jake Nickell sat down with GearCrave for a fun, one-on-one interview.
• The Chumby. You need one of these on your desk, friend.
