10 toes, 10 fingers, one head.  You know the drill – that sort of thing doesn’t sell in the circus. (rubs hands together – ya that’s evil.)

From the listing:

Are you a fan of creepy circuses and freaky carnivals?
Do you love babies?

If you answered yes to both of those questions, this product is for you. Originally created as a prop for a Halloween party with a horror carnival theme, these cotton candy babies make a great addition to any curio room.

Hanging by a multi-colored string, these dolls were painted a deep red and surrounded by painted cotton to give the effect of a tasty cotton candy baby just ready to be eaten by the unsuspecting circus patron. Hang them, place them in a bowl, or use them as a great centerpiece – these babies will be a conversation starter no matter where they’re displayed.

We have five of these products. Two have blue cotton and three have pink cotton. Comes in a bag with string attached, ready to be hung by thumbtack (not included).

I’m going to assume these aren’t edible.  Given the paint and all.  If you’re having  a Halloween party* this year, these would be perfect!

Thanks Adam!  <— that blog is often NSFW/kids, but is one of my favorite blogs.  You’d best have a good sick sense of humour if you go over there!

*not recommended as a baby shower gift.  Pregnant women have enough nightmares.  I once dreamed I was breastfeeding a cat.  My nipples curl into my boobs every time I think about it.  Cat teeth are quite unforgiving, I would imagine.  Meow!

Look, I hate to waste your Friday with this, but the fact of the matter is, it’s Friday.  You’re not doing any work anyway, let’s just admit that right now.

So why not caption this very special salt and pepper shaker set:

Then, head on over to Crappy Taxidermy, where you will find much much worse things for your enjoyment and be horrifically pleased with the quality of time you are wasting.

Thanks Tracy for the great find!

*shudder*

Drumroll please: Congratulations to Jesica! Jesica has won the Brother P-Touch PT-1290 and I couldn’t be happier for her.   Upon hopping over to her blog, I saw that she became Super Mom the other day when she made makeshift corn dogs for like 4cents.  Colour me totally impressed!  Jesica, I’ll be emailing you to get your address to send to our lovely Brother representative.

From the listing:

Why settle for bologna when you can have bologna and cheese? This art print combines two of Rubblearium’s little shoes made from unlikely materials in one gorgeous print. Absolutely adorable in the nursery; downright wonderful as an enhancement for your kitchen or dining room decor.

The artist goes on to explain that you can download these fun prints for only $5 each, and have them printed yourself.  (and no shipping = lower carbon footprint)

Somethings missing though.  I can’t put my finger on it.

Oh *I* know!

What’s a bologna and cheese sandwich without Wonder Bread!?  Makes those baby toes even nummier!

Oops!  One more thing!

I can’t stop smiling at these!

It’s a sickness for someone like me. My baking cupboard is chock full of labeled Tupperware containers, my laundry shelves and pantry are similarly stocked like an OCD’s (or retail merchandiser’s) dream. But I did it all without the help of a Brother P-Touch PT-1290.

You? You don’t have to, dear pet.
