Lastday. Go to carousel to be renewed.

I hear that they're remaking Logan's Run. I just hope that they still have the metalic hand sculpture that's outside Carousel. Because I, like, slaved over this bag for hours this weekend.

 

In which I pull a muscle patting myself on the back.

I've been painting purses. It's fun. I love it. And like all my crafts, hopefully I can sell the end result in order to buy more supplies with which to craft some more.

I started with a bunch of Dr. Who themed purses and some skulls before I came across a really cool vintage purse that demanded to be painted like Boba Fett. 

I posted it on flickr and in some craft/Star Wars/Sci-fi/geekery Flickr groups and it certainly found its market. Social media for the win!

It was picked up by geekcrafts.com from their Flickr group. From there it filered out across the interwebs.

neatorama.com's Jill Harness said "I don’t know about you ladies, but I could sure use a great purse like this Boba Fett one by Catherine Penfold-Waxman."

I'm big in Brazil at garotasnerds.com and nerdice.com where Google creatively translates from Portuguese to English "Catherine Penfold is an American who has a lot of creativity to customize bags. She has customized several exchanges with the theme nerd, but this is certainly the coolest of Boba Fett! Very beautiful is not it? Unfortunately she was a single piece and has already been sold, but the Etsy of Catherine 's other models really cool too."

fashionablygeek.com said "Etsy seller Catherine Penfold-Waxman turned a vintage purse into the Boba Fett masterpiece you see before you."

geeksaresexy.com posted "While this deliciously geeky receptacle has already been nabbed, Catherine Penfold-Waxman makes some other gorgeous geeky girl wear so you might want to check it out"

Over at buzzfeed.com they said "Using a bit of paint and a quick mind, Catherine Penfold-Waxman transformed a mint green pleather bag into everyone's favorite bounty hunter."

rampagereality.com said "Catherine Penfold-Waxman’s custom Star Wars Boba Fett purse might be the only purse that I would hold for my wife while she climbs out of the Sarlacc Pit with me."

The chaps at unrealitymag.com say, "But now I have an example of this that I might use if I accidentally switched genders one day. This Boba Fett purse looks like a normal modern design to outsiders, but to geeks? It’s pretty clear what’s going on here."

dorkly.com keep it simple with, "Stay fashionable while you bag another bounty."

Missing Irate Dog.

Mr Me and I were walking along Broadway in Astoria this weekend and found this mising dog poster on the El train struts.

 

 

Just to prove that this is an original shot, here's Mr Me getting his photo too.

Here's What It's Like to Have a Dog Chew on You

Here's What It's Like to Have a Dog Chew on You.

Mother Box/iPhone 4s

What is a Mother Box? Glad you asked. Read what wikipedia has to say in full, but here's a snippet:

"Created by Apokoliptian scientist Himon using the mysterious Element X, they are generally thought to be sentient, miniaturized, portable supercomputers, although their true nature and origins are unknown. They possess wondrous powers and abilities not understood even by their users, the gods of New Genesis. These range from teleportation (they can summon Boom Tubes) to energy manipulation. Mother Boxes have been seen healing the injured, including Darkseid himself, after he was beaten by Doomsday. Metron stated that each Mother Box shares "a mystical rapport with nature". They provide their owner with unconditional love and self-destruct when their owner dies.

Mother Boxes have sacrificed themselves for causes they have believed in and are greatly respected by the people of New Genesis. In physical appearance they are most often in the shape of a small box, but they can also be much larger (as is the one carried by the Forever People), and do not always need to be in the shape of a box at all (Mr. Miracle had Mother Box circuitry woven into the hood of his costume). They usually communicate with a repetitive "ping!" which can be understood by their users."

Does this not sound like the 4s iPhone?

The concept of the Mother Box is Jack Kirby's. What a fantastic imagination he had.

Just imagine they were your in-laws.
