Mini Monday

Little Stitchie mini blocks from Yujin. For whatever vagary of fate, this set has been d*mnably difficult to come by, so we're happy to finally have at least a few examples.

( Also, rainboots!! )

Let's do the smile!

Remember Smile Snap? They're adorable action figures available in crane machines in Japan. We have previously featured the Stitchie figure and Alien Stitchie figure.



But now, as proof that anything cute becomes one order or magnitude more cutified when proccessed through the Japanese art of MINI, behold, the mini Smile Snap Stitchie!!!

We write letters....

Dear Forbes Magazine,

Thanks for the super-timely warning about the dangers of the so-called "career girls." We never thought Donald Hollinger looked particularly happy, and now, finally, we know why! Imagine the humiliation of having ones fetchingly mod-attired fiancée frolicking freely about New York City in search of acting jobs when clearly she should have been scrubbing stubborn grease stains from his oven and fetching him more Cheese Doodles. At last we know, Anne Marie was in fact the first feminazi!

XOXOXOXO,
