You're Welcome

This artisanal post was handcrafted just for YOU using the finest in locally sourced vocabulary on 24 Mar 2009, and is filed under shit i want.

Awesome Shit That I Want Tuesday

The theme: disembodiment and pastries. There are ceramic baby heads, their soulless eyes imploring you: “Please eat our cupcakes; also, find our irises and corneas.” There are kicky ladies’ legs wearing gold high heels. If you were in a women’s studies Ph.D program, you’d be writing your thesis on this.

You could go all Susie Orbach* up on that shit. If you do, a thank you note when you eventually get tenure would be appreciated.

But you’re not, you’re just eating the chocolate covered strawberries. Because this shit? Is awesome.

And really, quite reasonable at $249 when you think about the hat bowls. Actually, if you had a grand to drop, think about how great this would be with the hat bowls. And then send me the thousand bucks, because you clearly have money burning holes in your pockets. I’m just looking out for your slacks’ health.

*NOT the same as Suze Orman.

    This and the hat bowls (hats!) just make me feel like Jonathan Adler stuff is affordable. And I do NOT need to start thinking that.

    Do you think I could get just the top tier for $85 – just love it !!

    Exactly my thinking, Jesse. I LOVE the legs – not so crazy about the baby head squished on the bottom tier.

    jesse, you are not kidding. that’s a dangerous path.

    deb, she’s got a whole set – you can get a teacup or milk server with lady-leg handles.

    holly, man, the baby head is my favorite part.

  5. [...] Awesome’ list is always evolving to include Michelle’s finds (seriously, I want this platter in a bad, bad way). So, yeah, I’m really glad to be able to sneak away from my blog to help [...]

    This platter has got to have a subliminal Freudian message from its maker somewhere in there. Did they hate babies and have a thing for mother’s legs? The baby head kinda creeps me out. Hmmmmmm, very interesting.
