I saw this the other day and got extremely excited! Who knew there was a way to make even your trash scary? This is called the Bin Bag Bear which was designed by artist Shay Alkalay. Now I’m not sure that this was meant to be scary. Apparently it is supposed to look like a teddy bear. I choose to see something different. The first thing I thought of was how cool it would be to put one of these out on your curb the first time. Your garbage man might even do a double take. I know I would. Just think what stories the neighbors might start telling about you. Anything to further my reputation as the scary lady is fine by me. The only thing is I wish it came in a full human size. This way it looks like a small child, which even for me might just be too gruesome. I know. Surprisingly I do have my limits. I still want them though. Unfortunately I can not find them for sale anywhere.
Speaking of body parts, here are some little soaps in the shape of baby hands. Now that’s creepy. Though in a way it does make sense. Hand soap in the shape of little hands. Wash your hands with hands. Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Seeing it though, in baby form, turns up the creepy factor. This of course makes me love it. These are handmade and only 20 sets are made every day. They may sell out during the day, but every day at noon 20 more sets will be available. Each hand is made from natural vegetable glycerin and is a different shape and skin tone. Here’s a great gift idea! The next time you get invited to one of those baby showers where everything is darling in pastel pink or blue and it all just makes you want to gag bring along a nice little bag of baby hands. Watch all of the shocked and frightened looks and you’ll get to leave in no time. What expectant mother wouldn’t want little cut off baby hands?
I found this fun Skull Toilet Brush and Holder for $33 in a boring little catalog. It was the only thing of scary interest. I named him Edgar and have since found it gives me a little snicker every time I use it. I saved the catalog because the listing was quite funny. In the description it reads, “The detail on the skull holder and brush handle are amazing-guests will do a double take!”. Really? Do I need to worry about that? Will my guests look over at it while doing their business and dismiss it at first and then look back and think that it’s their Aunt Bessie who they just buried last month? Will they come screaming out the door with their pants around their ankles demanding to know if it really is her? So far this has not happened, but if it does I will calmly tell them that it is not Aunt Bessie, but in fact my Uncle Edgar and he’s pissed about having a toilet brush in his head.
