Leda and the Swan is allegedly* a motif from Greek mythology, in which Zeus allegedly came to Leda in the form of a swan.  Zeus allegedly took the form of a swan and allegedly raped or seduced Leda on the same night she allegedly slept with her husband, King Tyndareus. She allegedly laid two eggs from which the children hatched.

Uhhhh, What the WHAT?!

Have you ever been attacked by a swan before?  Dude, those things are VICIOUS. They hiss, they hit and they bite.

When they come for you, RUN.

DON’T JUST LAY THERE WAITING TO BE TAKEN! RUUUUUNN!

Pretty, right? Well, it can be yours for a mere ten thousand dollars.

Get your pennies out!

*I say allegedly because we don’t know for certain and dude, I’m not going to get attacked by a swan version of Zeus.

From the listing:

Whether you’re feeling like a peacemaker or wish you could take out a little bit of aggression*, everyone wishes they had a gun sometimes.

Named for the famous frontierswoman, prostitute, and professional scout, Calamity Jane, best known for being an acquaintance to Wild Bill Hickok. This gun is made from electric pink fabric with black handle detail and 2 white bones on either side.

Hand-sewn. Actual purchases will vary slightly.

Measures approx. 8 inches in length.

* Plush guns are less likely to get you sentenced to life in prison.

Maybe it’s the Canadian in me, but I can’t say I’ve ever been disappointed to NOT have a gun… until now…

Too bad there wasn’t some plush bullets – with glitter, they HAVE to have glitter – I could throw while I pretend to shoot at a passerby.

Thanks Reba Jane!

America’s Late Night TV has certainly wrought upon us trends that I never ever thought would become popular.  Take the Snuggie for instance.  This backwards robe has sold over 56 kajibbillion since it first graced ad slots between old reruns of Three’s Company and late night soft porn.  Ahem.

When I saw these, erm, Handerpants, I laughed right out loud.  I can’t imagine who in their right mind would wear these, anywhere, for any reason.

Except maybe Gary Busey.  He’s always running his fingers through that mess of hair and he is, well, a shithead of the highest order.  See what I did there?  Shithead? Underwear gloves?  Heh.

Now that I made this prediction that they will never become a hit, you watch, they SO WILL.  It’s right up there with the Redneck Tank Top we loved back in May ‘09.  Word.

Thanks Perez!
