May still be gone for a bit…I had SO much to share this Halloween…but it’ll just have to wait for now. Here’s what I had so far…
Rockabilly Bride of Frankenstein. Awesome!
I want this shirt:
Sweet…
No one will suspect a thing.
Amazing roundup of Halloween creatures here.
Two great cakes from Cake Wrecks.
And…not so great…
You go, little fella!
Fellow 80′s kids…remember these?
And lastly, the always hilarious AXE COP (featuring Nick Offerman)!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from SheWalksSoftly!

Love these covers.

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. The Nintendo Knitting Machine has been described as “one least genuinely enthusiastic demos” in NES history.
But the catch phrase is just so priceless:
Would you want to turbocharge your knitting with electronic assistance, or is this the very antithesis of knitting’s leisurely nature?
Short blurb on the product here.

So badly.
Anyone know the artist for this?
I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.
This woman, too…
A child destined for greatness.
I really want this game!
Bats and cats…oh my.
Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:
And another:
I would absolutely read this one.
Another incredible title.
Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.
The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.
I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.
“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”
Rather beautiful antique illustration:
Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).
It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…
Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?
Brilliant!
Serenade…
Lovely death and (a) maiden.
Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.
Heaven?
Hell?
For the ladies…
I don’t think this ended well.
The end.

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!).
