No matter how you slice it, my tendons are itising, thanks to a recent on-the-job injury. So I won’t be blogging as vivaciously until the condition subsides. But never fear, Imaginary Readers! I shall return soon!
So Target is a fun place. Grant and I have been particularly delighted by their Hello Kitty Band-Aids, which have been appearing in the travel section for a few months now.
I randomly strolled by the full-on first aid aisle to see if they had bigger boxes with assorted sizes of delightful pink bandages, and I was shocked by the array I found!
I mean, seriously. Let’s go through this, shall we? Clockwise from top left, we have My Little Ponies, Strawberry Shortcake, NASCAR, Batman, Spiderman, ScoobyDoo, CareBears, Barbie, Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer, Dora’s explorador pal Diego (in case you’re not comfortable enough with your eight-year-old masculinity to rock a female icon on your boo-boo, of course), and two varieties of SpongeBob SquarePants. And in case that’s not enough for ya, the entire top row of Nexcare Tatoo Bandages ranging from Nemo to Hannah Montana.
And next up, we have one of the most delightfully creepy products ever made, also featuring some spectacular name branding. And I’m leaving ‘er full size, just so you can enjoy the true glory that is a trip to Target’s Health section. Enjoy, Imaginary Readers. You’ve earned it.
(I agree, the name’s a bit too subtle. Can’t win ‘em all.)
Wow, I’ve been off the blogosphere for a WHILE now! But I swear, I have a good excuse — I went to my college reunion. (OK, that was weeks ago, but since then I’ve both gotten sick and started a new job, both of which suck up valuable blogging time. But it all started with that college reunion.)
Bryn Mawr is a bit odd in that we don’t have an official school mascot. But our unofficial one is the wise old owl. (Gives ya some insight as to how we spoiled pretentious nerd-girls view ourselves, I guess.) I’ve always kinda dug the owl mascot, though — few people who went to BMC did so for the great sports teams or Greek system. It’s all about the academics, and our friendly little pseudo-mascot backs that up nicely.
And in recent years, the owl motif has become SUPER trendy. They’ve been all over clothing, jewelry and accessories for a while, and they’re popping up on more and more household items now. (I myself have at least two owl shirts, an owl purse, at least one pair of owl shoes, quite a bit of owl jewelry, and a pair of owl bookends.) This aviary surplus has been nice for us Bryn Mawr grads — we all wind up snatching nearly every owl-spangled item we lay eyes on, as a subtle way to pay tribute to our alma mater. (And yes, we all compared owl gear at the reunion.)
But seriously, people. This has got to stop somewhere. My last trip to Ross Dress for Less, in which I sought only sheets, led me to one of the eeriest shelf displays of all time. I mean, there is such a thing as TOO MANY OWLS. And these three aren’t even cute, they’re just vaguely avian and bug-eyed. Please take note, Housewares Department. They were better when they were just on shirts.
So good, I’m plugging him for free. But you gotta click on the image to view the full size with text details. Go nuts, Imaginary Readers.
Hi Virginia,
This is shameless commercial plug for a new product, hopefully, however, it is just creative enough for you to appreciate.
We just introduced a new line of personalized condoms called You Condoms (http://YouCondoms.com). Now anyone can create their own condom calling cards; great for occasions, events or a little self promotion ;-)
If you would like a few of your own Virginia Condoms, just say the word!
Warm regards,
Adam
