Giftopotomus



Today, in the Creepy Santa department, I found this artistic rendition to the right with something suspicious streaming out of his nose, probably caused by his claw hand. And to the left is the original nose. Remember my post recently about the Museum of Bad Art? I gotta go find it again.

Merry Christmas.

And now for the special gifts!
Xingu River Black Piranha, Aquascape Online, $200 each. When they go belly up and have a little funeral procession to the bathroom one by one, this next gift will come in handy.

Nothing like a bottle of booze, especially if you are needing to send a subliminal message too. I got kinda interested in whistling pigs and found these for your viewing pleasure:


(This one is the best, eh?)

Yup, a BIODEGRADABLE umbrella. Stylish, lightweight, eco-friendly and easy to tote, it features a clear canopy and two settings for high or low wind and rain protection. ($54) From Brelli. Cute, but I wonder how much acid rain it would take to disintegrate!

Tom Scott's Hairy Slippers are made of soft 100% wool and give your feet a comfortably silly place to dwell when at home or on the road. And ONLY ($207)

The next three oddly domestic selections were seen at Art Basel Miami Beach last week, so if you're wanting the prices you'll contact the gallery links.
"Lamp" (2010) by Beth Campbell, seen at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery
"Dryer" (2010) by Isaac Layman, seen at Elizabeth Leach Gallery (No competition here, I already have a dryer with a questionable provenence!)
"Knitting is for Pus****" (2010) by Olek, seen at Christopher Henry Gallery. Little crocheted slipcovers for all your stuff. The title says 'knit' but it sure looks more like crochet to me.


Got anybody on that gift list that you want to get even with? Here is the Almost Perfect Gift. It would elevate to Perfect Gift if the announcer arrived with it.

Want it anyway? It's available
here on Amazon.


And thanks for asking what *I* would like! I had an iPad right there at the top of my list but yesterday TY saw an announcement in a crawl under his screaming news show that told him that the next release will have a camera in the front AND in the back. And because there will be an update coming in 2011, he won't be getting one for me for Christmas. I don't even want an iPad camera. Pooh. The story of my life. Funny how my gifts keep getting away from me before I even get to unwrap 'em.
