If you aren’t yet afflicted with holiday shopping fatigue, stop by the Bust Craftacular at The Echoplex this Saturday, Dec. 12, from 10am-6pm and come fondle our spleens in person! The first 200 attendees get a free gift bag just for showing up, plus there will be raffles throughout the day, free bevvies and other hijinx. Bring canned goods to donate to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. If you need still more crafty holiday shopping, Mohawk Swap is just down the street! To get an idea of what you’ll find, peep the video from last year’s Craftacular. Yes, it is supposed to rain, and we know how Angelenos do with rain, but c’mon by anyway! Directions to the Echoplex here.

Bust a Move

Well, this is fun — Urban Outfitters has added a few guts to their online collectibles depot. Looks like the marketing department had some fun with the text for the heart: “He’ll really take a beating for ya. Somehow adorable anatomical heart plush with an included little fun-fact-filled tag. Get PUMPED!” and the lung: “Take a deep breath and contemplate the cuteness of this plush set of lungs,” and the liver, too: “Intoxicating little liver likes to keep it clean.” (Wow, the liver is sold out! What’d they do, bundle it with a free bottle of Jack Daniels?) If you already own one of these plush guts and care to write a review (if you happen have to have an UO account), I’ll be your best friend. Also awesome — it seems they also bought stuff from two other California plush scenesters — Lauren of Sweet Meats and Kerry and Darth of Evil Ice Cream. Woo hoo!
Full of Guts
Posted: Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Among the many good things at Wondercon 2009 in San Francisco last weekend was a seeing Guts, a large, glossy book of icky photos from the Tim Palen pop-horror genre (the Saw series, etc.) published by Baby Tattoo Books. Obviously, this one ain’t for kiddies, filled as it is with slasher-horror gut-spilling gore. Props to the packaging designer, who packed it up in a foam meat tray. We had a great time at the I Heart Guts booth, meeting nice people and sending some of them away with guts. Someone told me Carrie Fisher took a peek at our booth, but sadly I was helping another customer so I missed her. Oh well. Toycyte did a nice write-up on the guts, so thanks, Jeremy, it was nice to meet you!
New deals and Gutsy coupon!
Posted: Sunday, August 17th, 2008
Just loaded up a bunch of new slightly damaged gutsy goods to the Steals + Deals section of our site, including a $9 plush heart that has a sort of blemish to his face. But he’s still gutsy. And lovable. He won’t last long around here at that price, so won’t you take him home? Gone! I’d also like to extend a special coupon to anyone insane enough to read this blog: plug in GUTS2008 at checkout and get 10% off your order. Good through the end of September.
