I dunno....once this kid has read 'To Kill A Mockingbird', he'll think twice about climbing into any costume made out of a covered wireframe.

A decorative, elegant idea for your next dinner party. Foil razor-wire to stop the frigging kids from ransacking your $10-a-punnet strawberries.

Now is it me, or does finger-food-as-art strike you as a tad creepy? This stuff MUST be made of plastic, as any self-respecting hors-doeuvres knows to start flopping off the toothpick as soon as it's touched, much less impaled in an upside-down position. Note the flaw in the construction of the 'porkupine' down the bottom there. You have to hold the *wiener* to unstick the toothpick.

What caught my eye in this photo for an 'anniversary centrepiece' was not the item itself (on the right). It was what was on the menu! "Sorry honey..I know it's been 25 years, but in trying to create the impression of being upawardly mobile and impressionable, we squandered so much of our meagre income on miles of expensive aluminium foil that all we can afford is half a tomatoe, 3 olives and the remains of the lettuce for dinner. Happy Anniversary!"

AAAAARGHHHH!!!! KILL IT NOW!!!! They may *feel* pretty cool in those masks, but the neatly-zipped jackets say otherwise to me. In the instruction notes, I spotted this gem:

'Safety note: the foil masks reflect the gleam from street lights and car headlights, especially important for youngsters walking at night'

Maybe, but with no sign of eye holes, I'd like to know how the KIDS see the CARS to avoid them. Perhaps they don't have to. If parents were prepared to LET their kids wander around AT NIGHT unsupervised in THESE monstrosities and expect drivers to just LET them obliviously wander out into the road, I think that gives a very good idea of when responsible parenting started on the downslide in our society.

 

Proof that transvestite tendencies are NOT a product of cultural 'corruption', as the bible-bashers say. It's in yer blood, dahling.
