Shocking! I completely forgot to bore you all with my Spitalfields update last week. So here’s two weeks worth of exploits (I’m on a strict budget…):
- Mechanical monkey of doom
- Two very beautiful newbies in the doll family (I lovingly call the head “Pol Pot Jr.”)
- An always useful hand clip
- A “pot” box to go with my “snuff” box.
YAY!

This reminds me of Vania’s gorgeous Vampire..

In related supernatural news, the only email that was magically rescued from the pre-2006 times after my inbox crashed the other day is an email by Vania from December 3, 2005, saying:
“I am a young Russian artist based in London. I work for Erotic Print Society, Fantagraphics and several Japanese magazines. I love your website and would like to show you my work.”

I can die peacefully now.

I’m reblogging this because Francisco Goya can’t and the Chapman Brothers are too busy making tiny little Totenkopf helmets for little SS-Soldaten. Awwww!
