Nintendo Knitting Machine
Posted in absurd, advertising, geek, retro with tags absurd, advertising, geek, retro on September 6, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyI would love to get my hands on some more old and/or rejected pitch ideas from famed toy and gaming companies.

Short blurb on the product here.

Love the black and white ones…

Classic Batman Nail Art
Posted in art, comics, fashion, geek, retro with tags art, comics, fashion, geek, retro on June 14, 2012 by shewalkssoftlyJust a quick post to showcase this amazing Batman nail art (if I ever did this, I would have to paint on fake nails because I couldn’t stand to see these designs chip away and fall off!).

Don’t be fooled by the fluffy Little Bo Peep outfit, Ann Miller and her crew are ready to shake a leg in this awesomely kitschy routine.
Spider inspired tap dance!

I swoon every time I look at this piece.
The lesser known alternative to “shooting lasers from one’s eyes” is shooting pinup models.
My fellow introverts, here is a fabulous KEEP AWAY sign!
Who wants a start a club with this name with me?
From Cake Wrecks comes this awesome reproduction:
Hey, want some fashion? Here goes…
Hairdo hall of fame!
Excellent costume idea:
And while was not intended as a Halloween costume, I think it would work wonderfully as one.
Great alternative to to poodle skirt:
Just make sure you’re not dressed for trouble.
Lovely Crazy Cat Lady:
This has been circulating a lot, but I just have to make sure you’ve all seen it.
Two loves had he…
“Lite Brite, Lite Brite…turn on the magic of colored lights!”
[Imitates Todd Flanders] “Is your source on this reliable?”
This kid is going places in life…
Old Sunday School postcards are always cheese-tastically awesome.
The word of the week: HAMAGINATION.
I love hints of barely detectable darkness amidst standard prim and proper design.

Coincidentally, I also came across what might have been the goal of the project above:
Can this be me, please?
Okay…time to get some reading done…
