NPR sponsored a Holiday Craft Contest seeking quirky hand-made ornaments, menorahs and kinaras inspired by the news of 2006. One of my favorites from the many entries is this little Bald Beaver inspired by the recent trend of starlets flashing their...err, bald beavers for the world to see. The Bald Beaver was designed and created by
Kipling West.
Dick Cheney getting ready to
blast a dove of peace to oblivian with his shotgun.
The Mel Gibson menorah.
Oy vey!
Here's
Gallery of the Absurd's contribution. It's a skeleton woman with collagen lips, hair extensions, fake eyelashes, inflated boobs and a tiara. She represents the Hollywood beauty standard. Yes, her dress is hiked up on purpose.
See all the entries here.
Nicely done, 14. I think the skeleton woman could have her own nativity scene. just add the nanny on one side, the plastic surgeon on the other, and the three wise (gay)men -- publicist, stylist, and agent. as for the "snow"? well, we all know where that goes.

She's oddly appealing. What is she made of? The head and boobs look like Sculpey, but the arms and legs look wooden. Well done!

The bald beaver cracks me up.

I love your contribution 14. It just shows everyone that celebrities look like shit.
The Dick Cheney ornament looks like a cross between Michael Richards, Ed Gein, and Elmer Fud. I thought the green thing on the Dove of Peace was Michael Jackson.

Nice of you to remember the old folks who have paved the way to collagen greatness; "the Loni Anderson Ornament" is such a fitting tribute....well done!

Kip's li'l beaver should star in its own cartoon series (man, does that sound warped). And as for your Skelly Hollywood Ho, it's Art Clokey in Coke-Stoked Hell Delicious. That's a compliment.
