Weird. Giant Doll Heads Fashion Show

Craftster user gorgaus, as an art installation, put on a fashion show in which the women participating wore enormous plastic sleepy-eye doll heads.

They are made from fibreglass. They are quite light, they have a stem at the back of the neck that leads down to the waist where there is a back brace so all the weight is on their hips. The wigs are heavier than the heads, especially the geisha style one. They used dancers instead of models cause they thought they might have more strength and balance.

but now I'm all sad and feeling left out again.

But...I love you and think you're awesome!

Had an awesome lunch with Lisah Juliana and Chicago Bob. There were oysters and champagne and Lisa.

We left early, which is good considering my 4 AM wake up.

We were so honored and happy you three came at all! It was such a great party.

I can vouch for that combination being excellent.

I just had a super tasty club sandwich, even though the bacon was faux and veggie.

I'm having terrible luck with Target and TJs of late. Their shelves will be clean of a staple I get there. It's really annoying. I don't know if it is the winter shipping schedule or what, but it's been like this the past month or so.

This has been happening to me at TJs basically every time I've gone for a couple of months. I chalked it up to the holidays, but it's still happening. I wondered if they were running tighter on their inventory (like, not ordering as much to keep in the back as they usually do) because of the economy, or something.

But it annoys me when I can't find unshelled edamame or those damned crack-filled vanilla bean cream Joe-Joes cookies.

I spent $96.00 at the grocery store yesterday, and I feel like I bought hardly anything. I was able to carry it on the bus!

I am buying to make stuff for my freezer, and I bought pickles and pepproncini, and stocked up on rice, but other than that I feel like I bought the normal stuff. $$5.00 was catfood.

Oh, lord, why are they showing footage of Brett Favre singing "Pants on the Ground"? And why is the reporter asking him why he smacks people on the butt?

I am having the weirdest pain. I think it is starting in my shoulder area, but it is making the right back of my head hurt, right above the bump over to my ear.

Huh. Slave Leia, imagined as nose-art on a B-29:

The December art contest at Super Punch was SciFi Fairy Tales. My wife came up with the brilliant suggestion to mash-up Snow White and classic Trek, and this illustration is the result.

eta: The B-29 cockpit was the inspiration for the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.
