Pink Blog

I picked up these two adorable toys while we were on vacation, at a shop in Seattle called Schmancy that was a few doors down from my hotel. This first one is Gloomy Bear by KidRobot, who is now sitting in my kitchen. According to the box he came in, he has been told multiple times that he’s not supposed to eat people, but, well, he keeps forgetting! So I figured the kitchen was a good place to put him because there’s always plenty of food in there…and I’m not talking about the people who are trying to cook! I also just loved that a character called “Gloomy Bear” who was covered in blood and gore could be bright pink. Hooray for Gloomy Bear!

I got Polpettina for my wife’s desk at work. She is always saying she doesn’t want any more stuffed animals, so I figured a spiky little girl cactus was the perfect opposite to plush animals! I didn’t figure anything out about why the bow on her head is actually a bone, but she was too cute for me to pass up in the store, even if she was awfully expensive - she’s only 2-3 inches high.
