ooooh....

So... It's October, which means rl me is going to be a bit more comfortable in public. People are less judgmental in October, and there's a lot more freedom for us oddballs that believe it's nice to be an individual rather than a cookie cut out. But not only that It's a good time of year for me to share some of the interesting items I have found online that I'd love to add to my personal collection if I could.

Item number one, up for your perusal is a Mounted baby dragon skeleton. A wonderful curiosity to see, we know of course, it is not a real skeleton, but a mock up. This delightful specimen is available through the Dapper Cadaver website. Unfortunately it is a bit pricey, being marketed at $200 (plus shipping am guessing).

 You can view this item directly online here. They also have a mummified baby dragon available for curiosity seekers.

The next thing I'd like to raise to you for inspection is an Etsy shop called Furries Leather and Fur Shoppe. They have a variety of real specimens available for those looking for something more "realistic". They have everything from bones, to furs, and some amazing animals preserved for viewing in jars. Their specimens are reasonably priced as well.

I know that to some of you this may sound more than a little bit morbid. But I find them to be beautiful to view. Also, on the listings that I have read over and examined, they are very honest and willing to tell you where the specimen was procured.  You're not going to be receiving a randomly located creature that hasn't been treated properly. You're going to be getting something that they have worked on and take pride in making sure is provided with as much information as may be necessary.

The next item I'm going to share is something that reminds me of Little Shop of Horrors, one of my favorite musicals. It's a plant puppet!  XD when I found it on the HorrorDome website I couldn't help but smile. Even their description was cute! (see the block text below)

Just slip your hand into the false rubber glove and control the Plant making it's head move and chew. The false glove gives the illusion of the plant actually sitting on top of your arm.

 At about $80 dollars though, it's a dream. It would be an amazing prop for a gardener costume. Maybe even a Morticia Addams one. But, it's just an example. You can find it here.

And I think that's enough for today. I can share more of my "wish" list later XD. I don't really need these things, I just think they're fascinating and worth sharing.
