Vintage Vending #15: Pom Poms!
The first sentence is always hardest, unless you kill it with bullshit like this.
Today on Vintage Vending, meet the Pom Poms! Six adorably fuzzy beasts from God knows where, ready to offer us love and companionship! Their feet are stickers!

I had to make them. Read More…

Dino Drac Visits Point Pleasant – Part 1!
We went to Point Pleasant last weekend. I saw too many great things for just one post, so come back tomorrow for Part 2!
Never heard of Point Pleasant? It’s a beach town in New Jersey, but when I say “Point Pleasant,” I’m specifically referring to its boardwalk, stuffed with games, rides, junk shops and restaurants. Every Jersey boardwalk is my personal Disney World, and this one did not disappoint! Read More…
