Giraffe Catchup Gallery and LLA! Deadlines of WONDER
I'm in Colorado frolicking around on vacation (proof of this can be seen in Chris Y's latest comic where I find out art tastes like cold medicine), but I didn't want to wait forever to post this...
(Okay if you don't know about my STALKING AND MURDERING OF A CHILDHOOD GIRAFFE project you might want to read the prettily colored section of this sentence for this post to make a bit o' sense. Granted it probably won't make much more than a bit after...)
Man my giraffe hunting legs have been DRAGGIN. I'm thinking about legally changing my middle names to "Frustration" and "ARRRRRRRRRGIRAFFES." I even skipped naming winners last month. Screw the stupid format I've been doing this in the past! I'm just going to show a butt load (not to be confused with showing a butt) and then name one winner and one most "pain in the ass" or most "only looks like a giraffe to Colleen because she is loosing her MIND" or most "usable to get rid of placque and other build-up from foods between the teeth"...
HEY! What a transition! Speaking of teeth...Robin E. (emodudley)Totally wins the award for first LLA finished! Here's a preview:
Ooooh by the way I totally decided on a deadline for the BIG COLLABORATIVE ILLUSTRATE AN LLA PROJECT: All LLA's must reach me by APRIL 15th ....BOO-YAH! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Now back to the subject at hand...mmmm tastes like giraffes...
Sent to me by the awesome yanichka. She came across Shelley surrounded by a whole lotta Trent-clones far far far away from Brooklyn (what WAS Shelley doing that far away from home?) and was kind enough to mail the proof my way!
If there's one thing giraffes like to eat it's POO! Mmmm poo.
This is a picture of my Mom pretening I'm a giraffe. For some reason our expressions in this make me laugh every time!
Made for me by little Nick, my cousin Carrie's youngest. He charged me a dollar once he finished...which made me laugh so hard I paid it.
I honestly fell asleep next to this giraffe, which was given to me by Momma V for christmas. I just love the one-night-stand kinda feel to this. Damn that little giraffe for never calling back!
a) What kinda classroom keeps kids in wheelbarrows? b) Why the hell do I keep staring at this picture and expecting Mark Twain to attack the kid in the barrow c) Why the hell do I really want a giant cardboard Mark Twain now....

These chopsticks for chopstick-idiots taste like magic covered in plastic.
And now without further ramblage...
DEC/JAN GIRAFFE OF THE MONTH(S):
Captured by giraffe hunter and photographer extrodinaire (not to mention SeXY-extrodinaire!) sketchartists along with chrissigirl and dollomite. The giraffes aren't amazing in this one, just simple ornaments but the lighting and composition of this one is so damn pretty. If i was in the mood to hunt boys (which I'm quite content not doing, since I've been rather smily lately) I'd totally go all e-harmony with this shit! WERD!
THE MOST DIFFICULT GIRAFFE OF THE MONTH:
I SWEAR this flosser looked just like a giraffe to me! I also really love this picture becasue it shows off my snazzy "well-ventilated" shoes. (I can't help it if I am a crazy toe-wiggler when i listen to music on the subway!

Giraffe I Am Searching For: well I guess you can just look at this picture...which is BEAN MATES by avon toys, part of their ark toy...which seems impossible to find small, maybe 7 inches long, dark orange with deep brown spots which are more dots than actual giraffe spot shapes, deep black beaded eyes, barely any stuffing, the neck flops over to the side constantly, looks like a very cheap beany baby rip off, is the softest fabric in the world, has a long neck (you'd be surprised how many stuffed giraffes DON'T)is also A BIG ORANGE PAIN IN MY ASS!!!!!!!
