Want to know what organ sold best at at the 2011 American Public Health Association Conference? We brought a lot of hearts and uteri, but the testicle really blew them all away, he was definitely the most popular plush at the show — some folks even purchased him in pairs! Each gut enjoyed stopping by different booths, especially the organ-themed ones (they are so self-referential). Our heart enjoyed chatting with folks at the American Heart Association as well as the Heart Lung and Blood Institute. Prostate was proud to be right across the aisle from Women Against Prostate Cancer, Uterus needed to pose in front of the Midwives Model of Care booth and of course Kidney couldn’t resist a trip to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (Pancreas and Intestine were disappointed they weren’t invited into the photo). National Public Radio featured the guts on their website in a story about offbeat wares at the APHA convention, we had a great time chatting with Julie Rovner and the nice people at Infectious Awareables, makers of subtle e.coli neckties, estrogen scarves and other great stuff. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth, we had a great time learning about all the varied and interesting work that goes into public health!

Many of you have written in to suggest making some sort of graphic showing where all the guts and glands live in the body, and I’ve finally gotten around to creating one. It’s even got rollovers so you can learn more about, say, your pineal gland, should you have time to squander. For the purposes of simplicity, we’ve made the body a hermaphrodite — she’s got a uterus to go with her prostate and testes! We’ll call her/him Hermie.
Testis vs. Elvis

It’s not really fair to compare a dead celebrity icon with a soft plush toy, but what the hell?
Sexy New Undies

We are extremely excited to introduce our first pair of I Heart Guts underwear! These fancy pants feature the ovary and testicle in a chance encounter on your panties. At first we wanted to call them Reproductive Booty Shorts, for ladies looking for something special to wear while trying to conceive, but let’s be real. You might not want to tangle with the DNA of some of the gentlemen you take home with you. So we thought about The Sexuality Knickers instead, but that sounds so American Apparel. So they’re Sexy Booty Shorts. Do what you will with them, we won’t judge.
Shiny Sparkly Guts!

We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.
