Metal Lamp Shades and the Uberbrassariffication

I've been on the hunt for some black metal lamp shades like the above. I have some lamps that I think would look great with them. While searching I found some others I was loving. this light is rad from here

I actually have a vintage brass drum shade.  It got me thinking about it again and all the crap I want to do with it... I'd actually like to hang it over my kitchen table. (i wish I could change light fixtures like underwear)
Chic child head gear for my rambunctious little one...
But then I remembered an old brass lamp base I had, and decided to marry the two together into UBER-BRASS naughtiness! And I really like! Its almost kind of like a lamp sculpture.
What do you think? Diggity or does is look like br-ass.
