You know that little kid that spends all day in the woods collecting twigs that look like giraffes? It's the same kid that started a secret stamp collection at the age of 3.

We'd like to take a moment and thank girls on the internet for little acts of brilliance like this one. Double your Freaker, double your fun.  Let's get Olsen Twinned, y'all. 

It's cold. It's really cold. Being southerners, we don't know how to deal with the cold. Our only defense from winter is bourbon and imagination. Consider this a formal invitation to hide away in an alternative universe with us until the southern ice-age passes. It's a fantasy world of adventure and mishap. Of mythical creatures and beverage insulators. A fantasy world where YOU asked for a glitter unicorn Freaker and dreams came true.That's right folks. The general public asked for a glitter unicorn. If it fails, we're blaming democracy. How's that for a utopian society? Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker family... Unicorn On The Cob! Complete with metallic glitter yarns!

We recently filmed a Freaker rap video because... Because.  Here's a sneak peak at the first music video of the rest of your life. 

Everybody has a dark side. That’s undebatable. It’s unofficial fact. The only thing left to determine is how dark is dark. Do you read the iTunes terms and conditions for thrilling entertainment? Do you film yourself sleeping and then watch the videos on your commute to work? Do you wait all year for Halloween just so you can take off all your clothes and run naked backwards through a cornfield wearing a Scream mask? Good. You’re not alone.

Photo lovingly stolen from @aliciacassarino via Instagram! Branches are flying, flowers are dying, and everyone is shivering in their respective corners. It's Ice Day, hip hip hooray! I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're all holed up in your rooms playing dress up with Freakers. Great job, everyone. Great job. (Please, nobody prove me wrong on this one. We really want to believe this is what everyone is doing RIGHT NOW.)
