Things that make you go hmm

I've been there and that is not at all how I would describe my experience.

Last week Jessica of For The Birds (Etsy) let us know that she had seen the above pic of Hairy on Reddit. Shortly after that it was picked up on a few other sites and as of now it has over 130,000 views! The notes people have written about this gem have just been the funniest thing you can imagine. On Digg I read about the wolf shirt people felt Hairy should don and that it should have a hole cut out over the breast nipple area to show his crusty tattoo. This pencil drawing soon to be featured on antiques road show was found on www.thing-a-day.com and is the finest example of American folk art we've come across. On another note there was some debate as to whether the sign was real or not, we did not make it but found it in lovely Albany, Oregon. To us a sign like that is born from some genius we've not yet tapped into though we aspire to it heartily. This image and many other like it can be found on the Mixed Species flickr page. 

Have Fun!

Mixed Species Brother from a different Mother!


As Face McSpecies seeds the Mixed Species garden of San Francisco he couldn't help but be "amazed" by the talent of one photographer. Pedro L. Pedro could very well be a Mixed brother from a different south of the border mother. Pedro we salute you! Keep takin' your damn cool photos!

Peace n' Bacon Grease!

Hot Pounding artist On Artist Action!! Reviews Beady Monkey




Hailing from that small western sea of "goberment" workers and prisoners comes Beady Monkey one of Esty's coolest jewelery peeps. In dissing Beady's home base Salem, Oregon we should not forget that it's also home to many a fine sanitarium including the one (soon to be torn down) featured in Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Hairy is now filming the remake playing the Nicholson role (click here for details). Beady has long been tightly held in our hearts, buying random stuff from us and often including fun pictures with her feedback. Short of liquor, other inebriants or copious amounts of undeserved accolades funny pictures are a sure way to make our moufs foam and manties moist.

Beady's shop is not only full of fine jewelry but leads one down a variable shopping tunnel of love. You'll walk away with a book in front of your snack pack or weak knees after sucking on sights like the Rapture of Love pendant or Elle, also known as "the bone maiden". The subtlety of romance in Beady's shop is sprinkled about like the flower pedals that encircle Poppa McSpecies round spinning bed (Poppa's sexy setup). Take the Little Locks of Love earring set for instance, the beautifully ornate silver tone lock and key are adorned with a small heart each resting on a red glass disc. 

Beady is not a bashful gal and takes her admiration of nature on with the same crushing vengeance that she brings to world of love. Like a flaming harpy bearing her breast of malice to the dark force of the mass production overlord.  She gores the dark lord with her deft staff and screams in gargles whilst drinking from his foul offings, we all kneel in awe of her unrelenting strongth. 
Whoa whoa whoa! 
Back to nature and animals and such. Beady's group of bird pendants really blew us away! We agreed that if Morgan's tree had birds like that of Beady's Pretty Bird or Wise Owl, King Arthur would have hung himself up and fed his own eyeballs to those sharp looking avian pimps. Come on now an obscure reference to the movie Excalibur should be no surprise at this point in the paragraph.          

The Luck Be A Lady Tonight necklace also caught our eye in hopes to roll a custom Beady order for Luck Be A Cup Of Gravy tonight. We have a TON to learn from Beady! Check out the last shot in this series! Now that is how you deliver.

As a side note in an otherwise completely coherent review the Red Umbrella in Beady's Umbrella series reminds us of this great Kostars song of the same name. Also the Aqua Mans Treasure listing is beautiful but not at all what our drug addled minds had expected.

Beady Monkey slays us on all levels and we gleefully give her five out of five freshly washed guaranteed thumbs up!

A feeble attempt to clear the air prior to the trashings of grocery store print rags



So I helped my dear old friend Jessica Simpson rock a couple of duets on her recent state fair mini tour. I didn't think it would raise such a stink but I guess there's just not enough failed plastic surgery or expensive divorces to keep the pages full these days. I'm not porking her with any commitment, she nor I are pregnant and yes I did and do support the high waist jeans with double leopard belt. Her shirt is where I join in the fashion dissent, it should have had cascading waterfalls of glittery tassels and if I had my druthers it would have been pink to match the uggs I picked up for her. Of course she didn't sport em as they were a bit on the tight side. 

This jazz is hitting the stands and now there is blood in the water, already and I can see the shark fins jutting up like rockets over Gaza. With next weeks release of the Hairy N Geri (Halliwell aka Ginger Spice) duet this should be a feeding frenzy. Just let me set the record straight I'm not cashing in my social capital on Hollywoods sweepings, I'm just rolling around with friends having a good time. Lets also just say at the out set no one has a deathly illness, is getting married or divorced, yes there is lots of sex and lots and lots of drugs and none of us are going to rehab or writing books about god or the straight life EVER. EVER!

That said keep posted for the Hairy N Geri stuff that's to be out in the next week give or take. Tell all the tabloids that unless they give us what we want we're not buying their sloppy rags. Think I can speak for all when I say, we want some dirty pics of a Joan Biaz, Roy Orbison, Paula Abdul and Jonas Brothers orgy. Yes I mean Roy now, don't knock till you try it the meat is falling right off his bone.

Have Fun!
