These “pumpkin patch babies” from Vintage by Crystal are slightly…unnerving…
But here’s the one that really throws me for a loop: “Needle Felted Halloween Pumpkin Patch Baby Doll with Full Body and Mouse Licking Face”
Something about the pumpkin/baby combo falls short of endearing, but I adore the shock value and discomfort of it all.

“Sexy” costumes have gotten really out of control. This, we know.
I ask you, awesome readers, to help me find the absolute WORST ones for a pre-Halloween roundup.
I offer Sexy Mr. Potato Head as inspiration.
Submissions will be gratefully credited. Ideas?

I 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?

It looks like I was featured on Freshly Pressed, which has brought some new readers to this blog. If you’re new here…welcome! Please relax and stay a while…like this guy (by Michael Pratt):
Let me entertain you…
The cat does not appear to find this hairstyle flattering.
If swimsuits covered 99% of the body with the finest layered long sleeves and trousers…I’d be more like to wear one in public.
By comparison, this classic striped number looks positively scandalous.
Sea Lions…with human brains.
Violent beatings are always a great way to sell a product.
Few things go together like guns and Christianity…
…or kids and cigarettes.
…or booze and mornings.
Head of marketing campaign: “Don’t you see? We’re not selling a product, we’re selling a lifestyle!“
Let’s look at happy things now, shall we? Like this laxative-dosed child.
I SAID…be happy!
Something tells me the gelatinous fish pie is not going to be the kiddie crowd pleaser this ad implies.
Yes. This is exactly what they do. This…and drool on things.
It’s what all the hipsters are using:
The “Health Belt” does absolute wonders…if you’re a man who happens to be sketched on paper.
What happens when there’s a fight on family portrait day in 1858.
Crazy Cat Lady dreams…
My thoughts originate from a 2″ X 2″ square of brain perpendicular to my eyeballs, in the very center of my forehead.
And if you want to know the depths of a woman’s thoughts, look no further than this handy diagram.
…Well then the whole trip is ruined:
This is a deeply profound message. See it. Feel it. Know it.
Amazing.
Double amazing.
May you all have a knockout day.

When I first glanced at these ads, I was thrilled because I thought “All right! Ads that extol the inimitable sexiness of a woman who reads! A win for the BRAINS!”
Then I looked closer:
“You can read about the women who are unforgettable, disarming and a not-so-quiet sensation…or you can become one by wearing new MSYTRECE.”D’OH!
Now, it’s rare that I get riled up over vintage sexist advertising because I understand that although abhorrent, that kind of thing did happen…but there are books involved here…BOOKS, I tell you!
If I were less modest, I would reclaim this photoshoot by posing the same way and rewriting the captions to celebrate my fellow intellectual women out there. I dare say one doesn’t need to make a choice between being smart OR sexy. Smart IS sexy.
