Thanksgiving is upon us, and since it’s the season for gluttony, why not eat your own innards? Street Anatomy has a couple of fantabulous ways to gross out your holiday tables — from severed head bread (warning, this is really gross) to skull potatoes. Hmm, maybe these are better suited for Halloween. I guess it depends on your family and friends.

Eat Your Guts
Posted: Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Guts on the Go
Posted: Friday, November 21st, 2008
We love our guts so much, we even travel with them — take a look at our silly photos of handmade organ plushies on vacation. See uterus and liver at Hollywood and Vine, and heart and stomach in front of the Empire State Building, in Reno, in Tokyo, and a bunch o’ other places. If you look closely, you can see them getting more and more tattered and ratty over time.
Getting Sick is So Fun!

If you’ve got the bug that’s been going around, watch this adorable Korean animation about getting a cold and you’ll instantly feel much better. What could be cuter than a happy flu shot?
Yet Another Freakshow
Posted: Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
Hooray, we can’t wait for Bazaar Bizarre in San Francisco, comin’ up thanksgiving weekend! The holiday handmade retail show is promises to have the same ol’ freaky good stuff they always bring together, from happy fruit to felted frozen dinners (isn’t that incredible?), satin robots and all kinds of other stuff. The show’s emphasis on weirdness makes it a favorite of ours, and we are still bummed the Los Angeles show seems to be no more. Anyway, please stop by our booth, the show is at 9th Ave and Lincoln Way in San Francisco, Sunday Nov. 30, 11am-7pm. Don’t miss it!
Party in My Tummy
Posted: Tuesday, November 18th, 2008
We had a blast at Felt Club last weekend, as always it’s the coolest thing for us to meet our customers in person (“Can I see, um, the urine shirt in a women’s small?”). A major highlight was getting to meet DJ Lance Rock, the super-awesome host of Yo Gabba Gabba, who DJ’ed several fabulous sets. We missed out on the opportunity to sing “Party in My Tummy” with him, but oh well. He was super sweet and was often surrounded by adoring little kids, like this one. Our one-year-old also got the chance to play with gem sweater princess Leslie Hall’s very sparkly shoes. Anyway, it was plenty crowded and great fun! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and special thanks to those who worked so hard to pull it all off, especially Felt Club mastermind Jenny Ryan.
This Little Piggy

Could genetically-modified pigs be the answer to organ donor shortages? One fertility expert seems to think so. It’s pretty interesting stuff, read on in the Daily Mail.
Vote With Your Gut
Posted: Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Today’s the day, so have your say. Yes, the lines are long, so bring a book, make a friend in line, or text message your fingers to the bone, but please VOTE on this Election Day. And to sweeten the deal, here’s a list of free stuff you can snap up just because you had your say in American electoral politics (coffee, ice cream — a haircut?). Wouldn’t it be nice if the voter turnout was above the depressingly low average turnout of 50%? As long as it’s a higher number than the number of people who vote for American Idol, I’ll be pleased.
Felt Club's A-Comin'!
Posted: Monday, November 3rd, 2008
The holiday season is fast approaching, and for us, that means stuffing our car full of guts and heading off to crafty fun retail shows. We heart these shows because it’s fun to meet people, and see all the incredible creativity on display from other vendors. Felt Club is one of our fave events, and this year should be bigger, better and wackier than ever — check out the list of vendors if you don’t believe me. I spy handcrafted knit tacos, jewelry made from legos, eco-friendly bath goo, gem sweater princess Leslie Hall, adorable plush carrots from Planet Tokki, and so much more! Just two more weekends away on Sunday, Nov. 16. If you’re in the L.A. area, please drop by so we can meet you in person and enjoy getting holiday gifts made by local craft nerds. So much better than the mall.
