  • Is this accidental? At 04:01PM UTC Sandspider writes about trendalicious!, at 05:09PM UTC petebest writes about 'trend' pieces you read are fed by PR firms under the title Submarine, and now this post has Submerged in it's title. What's the next post going to be? Something cute?
  • Ok mare, here you go!
  • OK...now THAT is spooky...I was looking at that animal site about 1 minute b4 I posted the cuties. *twilight zone music*
  • I aim to please!
  • I wanna fish baby. Where can I get one of those? I'll keep it in my bathtub.
  • More cute.
  • The cute food/animals have made me curious; it this a common theme in Japanese toys? I can't think of anything much similar in the U.S or Canada, save maybe Strawberry Shortcake. If it is a common thing, any idea why this is so, and why it's not the case in the U.S. or Canada?
  • The cute food/animals have made me curious; it this a common theme in Japanese toys? I feel weird telling you this, but where you been, girl?
  • You should add this to that synchronicity thread that was here a while back.
  • You know, I can't even figure out what half of those things ARE (e.g. "This is a super cute and rare kitty nugget plush set just arrived directly from Japan! Everything is made with plush material, even the BBQ and mustard sauce"). All I know is that I suddenly want them very very badly.
  • Fuyugare, I totally understand the appeal of cute food, and cute animals. What I don't get is, why are there cute animals IN the food? Moneyjane, perhaps it's just the next logical stage of cuteness escalation. We in the West have been losing this war of escalation for the last 20 years, which is why I had to buy my Hello Kitty toaster online from an importer. I have to admit that the only thing cuter than a plush omelette is a plush omelette with plush kittens inside. It kind of makes my head hurt a little, but it's definitely cute.
  • What I don't get is, why are there cute animals IN the food? Thank you mechagrue.That's what I was getting at. Traditionally, playing with your food gets you a slap upside the head in these parts. I predict the next logical cute escalation will be a life-sized super cute cadaver with rare plush Nyanko Cat internal organs! You get: 1 heart kitty 1 spleen kitty 2 lung kitties 1 liver kitty 2 kidney kitties 1 stomach kitty 1 plush stomach contents mix pack 1 super soft material colon contents kitty
  • From cute to colon! Ahhh...the cute meanderings of a thread.
  • Thanks for that second link too. Zena Holloway has lots more of her underwater photography, and a few films too. I like how she makes things look under (well-lit) water.
