Wow, what happened? Last thing I knew, I was flying to Austin to be a panelist at SXSW — an awesome experience and genuine honor for which I owe Rands and the other panelists many thanks — then I return to work (which is a little more intense than usual) and BAM it's all weeks later up in here!

Before you ask: yes, I am preparing a (final) Part Three of my DS Lite video review series!

But today, I'm here to talk about Harriet Carter.

I have no idea why I get her catalog in the mail. The primary focus seems to be novelty clocks, trains, pets, pet mobility, relief, convenience, and old.

But it's totally awesome. You should order it! Most importantly, the pictures are incredible: sometimes illustrated, sometimes photographic, surreal, amusing, bizarre, and often terrifying. When stripped of the accompanying item description, even more so.

So, dear reader, I present to you: my favorite Harriet Carter catalog items/illustrations.


(PS: If you're wondering what to get me for Christmas, might I suggest a freaky-ass tree-face?)
