Okay, not so much inappropriate as bizarre.

Multicolored musical notes and over sized wings aside, he does look pretty nervous, no? Like he suspects somebody’s about to pluck him unless he can manage to run away on his weird tiger stripped legs?

I only remembered about this guy when Chris sent me this video the other day:

The guy coming in at 1:46 looks like he’s trying his damnedest to make the Chicken Dance, staple of weddings everywhere, look cool. And coming pretty close to succeeding, too.

(And on the off chance you’ve lived a sheltered life and haven’t been exposed to this attrocity, you can check it out here. )

I’ve been getting down to the end of the business stuff, and I found a big ol’ bag of inappropriate beads we’d collected but never actually showcased. Time to clear them out, so I’m going to start photographing the ones I hadn’t already done and putting them up online.

And aren’t these ladies a classy pair? I wonder if they’re meant to symbolize anything? They’re so subtle, it’s hard to say…

If I had to choose, though, I’d say goldie on the left is my favorite. Crime fighting hooker. Haven’t seen that one since:

You know, I think the plastic bead girls could act just as well.

Maybe we’ll even start having a contest to get rid of all these, because I found out I’m a wimp- I hate throwing them out to the crowd at Mardi Gras.

Alison was confused when she was 10 or 11 and caught a naked lady bead. I’ll never forget the look on her face as she held the stripper immortalized in plastic up for my inspection.

“Why did he think this would be a good bead for me, Mommy?”

Yikes. So I guess I’ll have to find another way of disposal. Let me know if anybody’s interested…

Is it me or does this look a lot like Anne Rice of a few years ago? She’s not exactly jovial- she looks like she might just pick up a whip and go to town on you… which is perfectly appropriate, given who it looks like…

What is there to say about this one? It’s got it all. Elegant stickers stuck on plastic with uplifting messages. Interesting choice of states, though…New York I get. Aggression, etc. Florida…well, if you were driving around in God’s waiting room I imagine you’d get frustrated too. I’d like to think the Texas one is a political statement about our eminent statesman from there.

But California? See, this is what bothers me. Ya gotta put a little effort into these things, people…
