Weirdness Abounds In Buffalo MN

When "Little Mister Sunshine" greeted me at Second Hand Rose a couple weeks ago I knew, once again, Buffalo would offer up an endless bounty of disturbia.

No pants. Really? Really Little Mister Sunshine?


Little Sally finds science deeply disturbing.


Their parents desperately hoped the girls would one day grow into their ears, and bizarre man-necks. the girls, for their part, hoped their mom would quite making them wear off-the-shoulder, puff-sleeved Little-Bo-Peep dresses.


Psychotically Raggedy Anne.


Mattel's "Reform School Jimmy" doll was a total flop, but then again, what did they expect?
The bed wetting, the cruelty to animals...


Donald Trump's mom.


Even if the doctors one day discover a cure for tinyhand, there's still the whole "momma dressing him as a girl" thing to overcome. Stacked deck.


So that's what became of old Brownie.
(This was so unbelievably gross you guys...)


It's like I keep telling people. Not all babies are cute.


Oh good, another disembodied head. Can never have too many of those.

Keep it weird people. Have a good day.

Dude. Does Psychotically Raggedy Anne remind you of CORALINE, or is it just me?

Of course I have a little problem with Coraline-phobia: http://susanadrian.blogspot.com/2009/02/take-buttons-away.html

Is little Mr Sunshine holding a rope and sittin on a leopard print chair????

That place is weird. I kinda like it.

I have mixed feelings about the scary raggedy doll, cuz on one hand I feel I must own it but on the other it'd give me permanent nightmares. So I'll just look at it on your blog, and laugh, and then quickly scroll down while shivering!

Keepin' it weird...

Oh, these might be your funniest comments to date. Whaaaa? Is Brownie life sized? Horrible!

Heidi--
Let's just go with whip. He's holding a gold whip.

b_elliott--
I'm pretty sure it was smaller scale. They probably wanted to maximize Brownie's "usefulness. You know, make a batch of brownies.

The dolls can be found @ "The Buffalo Nickel". Everyone in town knows where it is and could direct you, just off 55. :)
