Cindy Sherman is a pioneering conceptual photographer, MacArthur-anointed genius and uncanny chameleon who has an exhibit at Metro Pictures in New York now and a retrospective at the Broad in Los Angeles next month. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a seven-time Emmy-winning actress, former “SNL” regular and originator of the lousiest — and funniest — dance move of all time, whose hit presidential comedy, “Veep,” is currently in its fifth season on HBO.

Relaxation Hoodie
A cocoon-like sweatshirt in calming Baker-Miller pink that comes with a soothing soundtrack ($310, vollebak.com).

If looking at pink is calming, wouldn’t you have to stare at yourself in a mirror while wearing this? Maybe I’ll wear it before the next opening I feel anxious about — or to it.

Putting on a pink straitjacket and zipping your entire head into a polypropylene bag has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety? I’m claustrophobic, so when I tried this — while driving — it was ineffective.

Twix Spread
A toast-friendly twist on the classic chocolate bar (about $3, groceries.asda.com).
Sherman
It’s like crack for sugar addicts. A couple days in, I polished the whole thing off without even using a spoon. I felt so gross afterward.
Louis-Dreyfus
Is this really necessary? Do we need to spread candy bars on things now? Have we no shame? F.Y.I., it’s delicious.

High-Tech Faucet
Touch2O, which turns on and off by tapping on the spout or handle ($618, deltafaucet.com).

It’s great if you’re cooking chicken, because you can turn on the water with your elbow, but my kitchen isn’t quite so “American Psycho” minimalist.
Louis-Dreyfus
I’d tap that.

Smart Suitcase
Luggage that weighs its contents, charges your phone and geolocates itself (from $295, raden.com).
Sherman
I like the idea, but when I went upstairs to check on my suitcase — knowing that it was downstairs — the app was confused. It said “out of range.” I checked later in a cab, and it still said “out of range.”
Louis-Dreyfus
I love this bag. Very sleek, very groovy. It’s got its own app — weighs itself, locates itself, unfortunately does not pack itself.

Cloud Light
An ambient lamp that flashes to the beat of songs played on its built-in speaker ($580, richardclarkson.com).
Sherman
I didn’t realize what it was at first, and I started ripping up the cloud. It still looks O.K., maybe as a nice accent light on the floor somewhere.
Louis-Dreyfus
My forecast for its success: cloudy, but may clear up when I dig it out of recycling and plug it in. I thought the cloud was packing material.
