fun and the nominees are ...

Julie Ho and Nicholas Andersen

Julie Ho and Nicholas Andersen Confettisystem There are very few instances where it is socially acceptable for grown-ups to unleash the whoopass, but these geniuses provide just that with their couture pinatas. The works of art are the real crowd-pleasers at parties.

Hit Me with Your Best Shot

Confettisystem Pinatas

Sure, there’s therapy, meditation, herbal tea. But sometimes what you really need is to beat the shit out of something.

Go ahead and wail away at a pinata from Confettisystem.

Couture adult versions (not in a perverted way) of the party game usually reserved for kiddies, these bad boys are geometrically shaped, covered in either mylar (metallic silver, gold) or tissue paper (gray, cantaloupe), and hang from a black sash cord.

Each work of art is handmade in Brooklyn and filled with confetti — there’s even a trap door where you can add candy or whatever party favors tickle your fancy.

Sure, this form of stress release is certainly going to cost you ($135 to be exact).

But it sure beats the repercussions of assault charges.
