Quasi the Roadkill Squirrel

It's a well-known fact that we at Our Other Favourites have a soft spot for squirrels. So we nearly creamed our pants* when we came across Quasi, the Roadkill Squirrel and his story:

This poor little handknit squirrel started off as any other cute furry little thing, but somewhere along the way everything went wrong. Named Quasi for the Quasimodo-like hump of his back, he tried to cross the road at the exact wrong time. A animal loving doctor found him and stitched him up. He needs a loving home and someone who can find his beauty inside.

Make him yours, Esmeralda.

US$14.50 from lesjoujou at Etsy.

*though for private consumption, we usually prefer squirrels of the non-roadkill variety. We may be crool bitches but they're just so damn cute.

'Joy' Metallic Doll

This fiery little creation will always be happy to see you, even if her happiness is more schadenfreude than joy. We envy her perfectly glossy red lips.

US$260 from Monsterosity at Etsy.

Buzz Buzz Neigh Neigh

The seller writes:

Uh-Oh! This is what happens when little Suzy leaves her toys in Daddy's matter transference modules...
Daddy told her to stay out of the lab a million times!
Now she went and left her pony to get combined with a fly! Eeek!
This hot pink little darling is about 4-3/4 inches tall and 4 inches long from the tip of her nose to the tip of her wing.
Go ahead, you know you want to sing it - my little horsefly, my little horsefly...

This one gets points for the description alone, the faux lashes on the horsie are bonus brilliance really.

US$10 from badsnail at Etsy.

Delicious decapitated heads

If we were felines, we'd be rubbing our paws in glee at these beautifully constructed decapitated head toys. The seller agrees:

My cat used to bring me dead things, and as much as I'd love to validate my cat's pride, I could not keep the bird carcass in front of the door. I figured all could win with this decapitated mouse head. I get to see her flex her mean skills and she gets to annihilate something.

You get three heads of your choice. Please indicate which heads you would like in the notes to seller. If none are indicated you get one of each.These de'cat'pitated heads are made with felt, poly-fil, organic cat nip and several gooey/oozy/bloody yarn neck bits.


Nom nom. Sigh. Perhaps in our next life.
