Dear Fellow Lip-Balm-Loving Crafters,I can see what you're going for here. I really can. You've decided that you love your lip balm enough to bestow upon it a special lip-balm-cozy, and god bless you for your creative gumption. What I'm calling foul on here, though, isn't the relative pointlessness of these laboriously crafted chapstick protectors, shockingly. Instead, I would like to implore you to look, just seriously look, at the bizarre tomfuckery you put together for this purpose. And then maybe you can answer me why the top cozy appears to resemble some kind of massive and generally unnecessary lip-balm lion depository (although the lion does seem to be enjoying it an awful lot, I'll give you that), and the bottom one, well, I won't even go there.
Seriously people. Think these things through. If you have to put your chapstick away by shoving it up a felt lion's gaping ass, or by sliding it inside a dubiously-shaped pastel knitted sock with balls, you have failed.
<3,
JuliaD

Not sure why, but I find myself wondering what other kinds of circus animals this person could have crafted to hide other sundry items.
ReplyDeleteAgain, a 5-year-old make these things or what? Mom had figure out something to do with them to avoid hurt feelings.
ReplyDeleteA lion? Surely not. It's a weiner dog with a badger's head grafted on, so it probably does not care one whit what it might find up its bottom.
ReplyDeleteThe other one, though: you must be correct. It's a pastel gentleman's appurtenance.
Can we get them arrested for toy animal abuse? Really, that's just sick and twisted. period.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteNothing, and I mean NOTHING that can be described as "Soothing and Cooling" should have a felt or knitted holder. Ever.
What's next . . . a cover for your Preparation H?
These are just slightly obscene but I doubt the maker of these lip-balm cozies has any idea. The top one, I don't know but pepto comes to mind. The bottom one is another peter heater, a small peter heater (don't worry guys, size doesn't really matter) but one nonetheless.
ReplyDeletehahaha Im with you.. I think Ill keep my lip balm in my pocket
ReplyDeleteI don't think chapped lips are that lion's biggest problem.
ReplyDeleteIf Robert Mapplethorpe were a crafter, I think it might go something like this. . .
ReplyDeleteThe only way the bottom one could be any worse is if the opening where at the opposite end of the 'ball' end. Oh, and a flesh color.
