A strange journey into the Jesuscape
A strange journey into the Jesuscape

Okay, file this one under “not a horror.” But it was a quirky journey into someone’s devotional space, and I was glad to have the ride! Unfortunately the pictures just…didn’t turn out, I was snapping photos of a tiny piece of art under a thick smudgy bottle and my camera’s the Cannon budget special, so…please […]

The world in a shoe
The world in a shoe

There is nothing in this that surprises. I sincerely doubt that nature would have ever coughed up these materials…but it wishes it had. I think it’s pretty obvious that these are the most awesome shoes in the world. When Pope Benedict slips on a pair of red brogans, he’s wishing he had these shoes. They’re […]

The Glory that is Pooh
The Glory that is Pooh

Turn your head. Turn your head lest his glory blind you, and melt your face like nazis staring into the Ark of the Covenant. No-one can look upon the full majesty of Pooh without coming away from it changed, transformed, or even…destroyed. Perhaps it’s for the best that he’s in a boat, otherwise his mere […]

Shoe Therapy
Shoe Therapy

So, this is one of those times where I really don’t have anything to add, because my work has been done for me. I was visiting Treasure City Thrift yesterday to poke around and chat with some of the people there, and discovered their Therapy Shoes. Now, the back story here, this group works with […]

Pardon me, is this your deity?
Pardon me, is this your deity?

Sorting out all the strings and limbs on this little guy…girl…androgyne…was a trick. But well worth the effort. I think we have our next presidential candidate. Able to go left and right at the same time, and absolutely no distinguishing characteristics. We have a winner! I think this is a cultural referent I’m just lacking–some […]

Amputee in motion

Don’t ever let anyone else set your limits. Live the dream. Want to be a model? Awesome. Want to be a model after that unfortunate wood chipper accident? Great, cool. May cut down a bit on some of your engagements, but artists and photographers may occasionally need to get a reference for the “Venus de […]

Brightening up your monday with a BLAST OF SUNSHINE
Brightening up your monday with a BLAST OF SUNSHINE

BAM! Take that, blahs! Angst? Get out of here. Suicidal depression? This is your $4.99 ticket to sweet thrift shop therapy. This is a completely awesome HAPPINESS CONCENTRATOR. Check out the science. See the mirror on the left, and the mirror on the right? Happiness is attracted to the sunflowers and glitter–not a LOT of […]

Woo! Cheap medications!
Woo! Cheap medications!

So, this prematurely exciting! So, thrift store blogging is highly competitive and cutthroat. The field’s nightmarishly crowded with like SIX blogs and…well, it’s rough. So, naturally when I saw a big old jug of FREE BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION samples, they HAD to come home with me. Initial exploration of the giant plastic heart was interrupted […]

Continuing the theme
Continuing the theme

Somehow, this week has gotten away from me.  I think it was the bears that did it. Okay, let’s just take this and run with it, as far as it will go. Will it go all the way to nipplepots? I think it might. This is, as it were, the tip of the iceberg. I […]
