Clean in thought, word and teeth

Blue Q, creator of sassy toiletries such as Dirty Girl bubble bath, has come out with these ceramic toothbrush holders. The design “fits most toothbrushes, stands them upright and ready for action,” the company says. The eight variations include “Sinner Repent” (possibly for late-night chocolate eaters) and “his” and “hers” crowned heads (for couples, or perhaps for kids who use the same color brush?). With lettering that brings to mind old-fashioned shower taps, they look cool on new vanities or pedestal sinks. They sell for $9 apiece at Firefly, 1409 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice; (310) 450-6288; www.shopfirefly.com.
