Chickens On The Runway

As these ladies remind us,
it's not what you wear,
but how you wear it.

Japean Delights!

Of my many lovely birthday prezzies this year, these came as a surprise as they arrived in the mail today from Pittsburg - anyone who know me knows my weakness form asian cuteness in all forms, so I can't thank Sara P. enough for these treasures (Korean wedding dolls & 1950's Japanese kokeshi/nesting dolls)!

The keyholder, front and center, was a gift from Daniel Kay Wilbur.

A li'l busy, even for my taste, but they do fill the eye!

Two Legendary Pink Bots

I just came from seeing Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen.

Delighted to finally see some ladybots in the films, but I was a bit bummed that Arcee didn't get more screen time.

This li'l snippet, compliments of Wikipedia, explains, if not excuses, why:

"Arcee was initially meant to appear in the 2007 film... but was ultimately dropped from it due to concerns of her being too small compared to the other bots, and the fact that the writers felt there was not enough time to explain her "gender" (Transformers comic continuity stated that they don't have sexes, but she was introduced in issue #234 of the U.K. Marvel series to appease feminists - who hated her because she was pink) . Whether to explain robotic gender or not was something the writers were unsure about... the issue eventually remaining unaddressed in the finished movie"

Pussies.






To help even the cosmic scales of robo-misogyny, I also present Arcee's white-trash not quite kissing Gundam cousin, Lacee.

マリオ and Truck The Magic Dragon

My man is a huge fan of both Transformers and the unassembled Italian below (to the point of having collectible based wall shrines to both in his apt.), so this one is for him - the later is a Russian fuel truck, which makes the custom design all the cleverer.

Kellogg's Totem Tribe Cereal Toys

Children don't care about reduced cholesterol, building strong bones, or regular bowel movements - they are immortal, and if you want them to buy your cereal you will have to give them toys!
