There has always been something downright terrible about seeing a young girl dolled up with a spray tan, adult hair style, sexy clothing and whorish makeup. That’s what makes beauty pageants so disturbing. Photographer Susan Anderson has collected a great gallery of these images which can be viewed in brief on her website or in her book, High Glitz. Check it out.
Sorry for the relatively few posts by the way, I’ve had swine flu and it’s terrible.
If you have kids or babysit at all, this is a great idea for fun, kid food. Simply poke dried spaghetti through hot dogs and boil them together. I bet they’d be great with a variety of sauces too.
Any mini Hans or Lukes out there looking for a stylish sleeping bag they will proud to bring these over to their Star Wars sleep over party. Really, I want one too, hope they come in grown up size.
I am beyond enamoured with this concept -creating artistic plush dolls based on kids drawings. Best of all, the pieces were then sold to the parents as a fundraiser for the kid’s school. I can only pray that they have awesome fundraisers like these when I actually have children.
I don’t even like Metallica, but I officially declare these kids awesome. Thanks Yes But No But Yes.

This silly deer followed the dog home through the doggy door. Must have been a surprise for his owner.
These snow globes seen on InventorSpot are so creepy and strange, they are fantastic. Look at the whole series here.
Just a thought though, as much as kids like snowglobes, it may be a good idea to put these out of their hands. Most kids do not enjoy the thought of getting thrown down a well or eaten by a giant spider.
Neatorama informs us of the meanest criminal ever, 18 year-old Steven Tyron. This douche stole money from a little kid’s lemonade stand. Now that’s low.
