Fun and funky gift ideas...
Everyone is looking for that fun and fuky gift to give, so I thought I'd post a couple of my last minute picks...
Rock around the clock with artist Jeff Davis' handmade timepiece. Keeping the tradition of vinyl LPs alive, Davis was inspired by the iconic appeal of long lost album covers, record logos and vinyl's glossy texture, when designing these musical keepsakes.
Part wall art, part timepiece, Davis begins each piece by incorporating clock hands into the face of a punchy, repurposed record label. Choose from a pre-selected Rock, Jazz, Soul or 80s album to keep you on beat and on time! Handmade in Philadelphia.
Next time you have a restless night you will be in good company. A series of silhouettes depicts a full size body, elegantly turning across the bed.
Keep your cash attached to your hip with the strongest tape on earth. This silvery Super Duct Tape wallet won't lift, peel or get sticky, but it will keep your cards and bills safe whether you're hitting the town or installing plastic sheeting. Reinforced metal holes accommodate a security chain, and the divided billfold, four built-in cardholders and four-page clear plastic insert hold all your necessities.

It's no optical illusion. No tape is used. There are no nails. Something about a "fulcrum" but, to tell the truth, we prefer marveling at the Balancing Wine Bottle Rack, rather than trying to understand it!
No matter. Red, White or Merlot, it works.

More holiday surprises...
So I can't help but look at some of the Holiday gifts on Etsy to see what's new everyday. I have to say, some of these people seem to be getting their holiday's a little confused...
Santa Slayer Vampire Christmas Picture
Suitable as a gift for all your friends who are interested in vampires, Santa Claus, and Christmas, this picture of Santa, the vampire slayer, as a downloadable pdf

Monsters have a fondness for shiny and colorful objects; so it makes sense that they have begun to claim Christmas ornaments as their own. They are very possessive of such items. Unsuspecting humans, who dare try to take the ornaments away, might lose a finger or two!
Silver Deathly Hallows Pendant 12.00
Buy 3 and Save- Sperm Cell Christmas Ornament
Each Sperm is about 3 inches in length.
Comes with black ribbon
At least she gave it a cute story:
"I was a little bit surprised to find my stocking filled. I mean, it WAS Christmas and all, but I hadn't hung my stocking... and yet there it was.
Dangling jauntily from the mantel. Though actually it was one of my holiday socks I'd kicked off the night before after eggnog and fruitcake and a marathon of movies and candy. Cheerful red and white stripes as happy looking and festive hanging from the fireplace as they'd been on my feet.
I should have been wondering who'd hung my sock, but all thoughts of Santa and sneaky relatives fled my mind as the *gift* I'd been bestowed took center stage and started tapping dancing it's way into my awareness.
Tappity tap tap on my struggling, fruitcake and eggnog bloated mind.
That was no ordinary stocking stuffer. Of that I was sure. No chocolates or oranges or pretty boxes filled with glittering jewels awaited my eager hands....not even a puppy, which would have been crazy enough and yet not near as wild as the gift that wriggled contentedly, squirming about inside my now stretched red and white holiday sock.
It looked like an alien. Well of course it was. I chided myself for considering that it could possibly be anything but, even whilst I slapped my mental self silly for believing it to be an alien.
It blinked, dark mysterious eyes that were filled with child like wonder. It's blueish green nose seemed to deepen in color and my eyebrows rose...my mouth fell open.
This was no dream, this was reality. Christmas morning had brought more than a light dusting of snow on the patio, it had brought a wee little alien stuffed into my sock.
I stepped closer and the creature stirred, watching me, the larger eye filled with curiosity while the smaller one seemed content to just observe.
"Hello?" I said, half questioningly. Wondering about my sanity, wondering if there was a manual that came along with mysterious alien baby gifts on Christmas morning.
"Bloop bleep." It said. In clear, sweet tones, apparently happy to hear my voice.
The little horn knob bumps on it's head glittered in the weak winter sunlight that filtered in through the curtains.
Yes, definitely alien....
I wondered what I should do with it, and even whilst I wondered I stepped ever closer and hesitantly, carefully reached a hand out to lightly stroke one of those blue green ears. It seemed to purr, very feline like.
What to do....
I sighed, audibly and alien giggled, "bloop bleeeeep, bla ha hee, bleep."
Well...it would look like naming it and seeing if it liked fruitcake for breakfast would be a good place to start. It was a wondrous morning, Christmas morning always is...but especially so when one finds an alien baby in their sock."

A not so bad girl post... I found the real Santa...
So I'm feeling a little "Christmas-y" today and thought I would present you with the real Santa. Yep, he's alive and well. He's the 7th Santa Clause in a long line and is currently living in NC...
I know the video is a little "dry", but the message he gives is excellent:-)
I found the REAL Santa Clause in North Carolina

Scary dolls...
OK, so what little girl doesn't want to wake up Christmas morning and find a baby doll under the Christmas tree? This year, make sure that the baby doll under the tree doesn't scare her to death~lol I know that these would certainly scare me!
"First-ever 10″ Lifelike Ashley Baby Doll! SEE and FEEL the Chest of this Exclusive Tiny Miracles(TM) Doll Rise and Fall! – This happy infant is content to nap comfortably right in the palms of your hands. Watch closely as she “breathes” in a gentle rhythm, right before your eyes!"
This doll, while I agree that it's "life-like" is disturbing on many levels, the least of which is the cost... $69.99! Who in their right mind pays this much for a doll?!?! OK, but seriously, I'd be afraid that she'd STOP breathing~lol
OK, I'm not going to say a word about this one... other than $189.00... and ... why...
And...we're back to Etsy (they simply have so much that I can poke fun at over there~lol)
This on is slightly more disturbing than the previous or some reason...
As if "dead goth baby doll" #1 and 2 aren't bad enough...check out this "lovely" creation...
And now for a few "spare parts"...

OMG! This is just nasty...
Seriously, if you have a weak stomach, do NOT read the original description on the second photo. It's not pleasant and it makes me wonder what type of person would make this... I don't know exactly what to call it... not art. Anyway, while we are talking bout this strange person...why would anyone have a collection of toilet photos... and have a "favorite"?!?!
 |
| The "Wishing Well" OMG! |
Now...for what was removed from the description before I found it. Thanks Regretsy for posting this examply of some really sick art...
Fun picks for the day...
Since it's too cold to go outside, I thought I'd do a fun picks:-) These are funky, but not too strange items that I've found on Etsy this morning.
Nothing say's Merry Christmas like a glass radio tube...
Ever wanted a figurine of yourself? Well, look what Etsy can do for you...
OK, I'm no "expert", but doesn't Santa wear red?
OK, I know some people collect strage ornaments and I've found an excellent addition to their collection...
A stocking for those that march to a different beat...
Last, but not least... "Carefully skull-pted and cast in a durable Vinyl by yours cruelly!" Yep, this was listed under Christmas~roflmao This one is worth TWO pictures... had to incldue a close-up...

I think it's funny that they call this "natural"~roflol
Feminine Hygiene "gifts"...
*WARNING: This post covers a sensitive topic. If you are a man and have no sense of humor, please check another blog for the day. If you're a woman and can't take a little "girl talk", then follow the guys:-)
OK, so I read about a feminine hygiene product online yesterday (yep, lot's of time on my hands lately) and when I did a Google search, I was floored by the number of products out there that I've never even heard of. Though I'd share a few and hopefully, someone will be able to explain some to me~lol
First up that I had never heard of is Instead. The name sounds innocent enough...until I realize it's a feminine "cup" What happened to good old Kotex and Playtex? Instead? Anyway...you go figure it out...
OK, next up is Brown Betty. Are women really worried that guys will notice that the carpet doesn't match the wallpaper? Is there really a woman on earth that feels the need to dye her hair...down there?!?!
OK, I'm willing to "go green" as much as the next person, but I'm not too sure about this one. Sea Pearls Sea Sponge Tampon Maybe I'm "old school", but where's the damn string?!?! What if it gets stuck...go to the doctor and say, "Excuse me, but my Sea Pearls are stuck, can you please remove them for me?" I think not. Thank goodness for regular tampons!
OK, what about Honey Bare Butt Bleach? Hmmm? Anyone ever tried this one out? I'm sorry, but that's a "exit only" area and there should never be a reason for anyone to get close enough to even see if there's hair there... I am not bleaching. Period.
OK, for those having a tough, economic year, may I present "crocheted tampons". These are re-usable, so don't flush them!
OK, I found several others, but I'm feeling the need to grab a quick shower and thank my lucky starts that I know all about Kotex and Playtex and they are my friends. Nope, not going to "butt wax" while I'm in the shower nor am I going to do a product review for Brown Betty. I've said enough on the topic of feminine hygiene today to last me...well... a long time:-)

Yet more "must have" Christmas ornaments...
This year, it seems that there are so many Christmas ornaments that it's hard to decide which one's to post~lol There are so many horrific, tacky and down right ugly ornaments to choose from, but choose I must...
OK, I'll start off with something someone may really want...I'm not sure what kind of message this is sending to children, but let me present Pirate Santa. Seriously, I know he's cute, but who wants a Santa that is a known thief on the tree this year? And who had the audacity to actually put out Santa's eye? Do we really want children to cry around the tree for poor Santa and his long-lost eye this year?
Let's try something a little different... What about rock's painted to look like slight "special" (we all know what I mean by "special" don't we?) Mary andDavid Joseph with baby Jesus. Are these slightly crazy or what? Who would want a googly-eyed Mary and David Joseph sitting on the mantle? This is demented. I don't remember the Bible story where Mary and David Joseph are both cross-eyed... maybe I'm wrong but... Edited due to too much wine while attempting to post. Sorry guys *looking sheepish*
So, let's try shopping for a new hat... Nothing says Your My BFF like a green felt hat that has puked red feather in your hair. When I first saw this, I couldn't tell exactly what the "red stuff" was. Maybe yarn so you're look like Pipee Longstocking? Is this supposed to be an elf hat? Who knows, but hats are no longer safe from the demented gift list.
As if the red feather/crap hat wasn't bad enough, now there's a PINK elf hat that looks like a flamingo is moulting on your head. Who doesn't want flamingo feather stuck in your hair for Christmas.
OK, ok, ok...I'll throw a bone to all you "materialistic" girls out there. Who can resist a gold stiletto stocking hung by the chimney? Won't Santa get happy to see YOUR footwear this year! Talk about classy...
