Kiss My Knits!

In yesterday’s entry, I neglected to add that you, too, can have your very own Picard head! The trick is, you have to know where to look. This is from eBay seller donnyaol.com. Nowhere in the description of the item does he mention that the head is a dead ringer for Patrick Stewart. It’s quite mysterious. Does he know? How can he not? Because of this, entering any search terms you might normally use wouldn’t bring this up. I found it back in 2004 when I was looking for a mannequin head to display my hats, but I couldn’t justify the price. I saw it again a few weeks ago while looking for a dressform.

It looks like donnyaol.com has a supply of them, because this wasn’t the only one I saw. Also, there’s one that looks uncannily like a bald Jim Carrey (at least to me) and another one that somewhat resembles Tyrone Powers. WTF? Where is he getting these? Who has a continuous supply of Picard heads?

Last week we installed a new ceiling fan. The old one had three non-working light sockets and was a little out of balance. Plus it was white with gold trim, and the gold was peeling off from the heat of the bulbs. Time for a change. So my wonderful husband, all 6’2″ of him, crawled into the attic and across the rafters to install it. He did a great job, and while the fan might be a little too fancy for the room – I’m torn on this – it’s better than what was there before. More to the point, now I can use it with my Picard head for this classic tableau:

There are FOUR LIGHTS!
