Vizma made an innocent comment on a piece of art she sent me saying "We should do a fat fur book swap" or something to that effect.  She mailed it and long since forgot about it. I loved the idea and had to take her up on it. So I sent her a dreadful fuzzy book and this is what she sent back.  Not only is it soft as toilet paper as she says, it is furry, and it is a trashbook!  trashpo and Roadkill all in one--sublime.  The New Hair Product that she asked me to be a guinea pig for, was dug out of it's envelope immediately and played with as though it had some kind of catnip in it, by my cats.  In fact, they were enthusiastically sniffing the whole thing.  I did not at first know why.  I sent Vizma some American Roadkill Racoon and she has sent me, what I believe to be, roadkill kangaroo!!!  If I am wrong, I can't image what this beautiful fur rug is. She also sent me horse hair and Doris Day's armpit hair! Vizma--don't you dare say this isn't good because it is great and made me laugh myself silly. This is as close as I will ever be to a kangaroo and for that I am grateful. Thank you Vizma. I adore this

more to follow. and what on earth is IN the hair burger? I like the idea of glueing it onto a hat or helmet, but what makes it irresistible to cats? that could be a problem.  more pages to follow in comments section

speaking of feminism, I was impressed with this new fem rating for films

do tell Viz--what is it? and is it human hair in the hairburger? My husband is the sweetest, most romantic guy I know.  This a.m. he came home and said, "Come look outside, I got you something." This is what it was. Now to figure out how to send to Australia. I don't think anyone outside of IUOMA would understand why this meant so much to me.

The hairburger blew my mind (and hair). Crazy stuff :D

Aaah ha ha! This blog has me in stitches, Diane!!! You seem so happy that I don't want to disappoint you by telling you what these furballs really are. Well, they aren't kangaroo, but now that I know it's on your wish list, I'll keep an eye out for some.

Doris Day's armpit!!??? Ha a ha! WTF? Yuck!

Thanks so much, girls for your sweetest comments! I could just squeeze you all!xxx

And DK, what "dreadful fuzzy book" ???

Nonsense! This book is the shit!!

This is TOO much fun to handle. What a mind. DK and Vizma are secret sisters, come on, admit it.

Vizma sent me a little book, you'll never guess the topic. I went out of my mind with adoration. And it will be blogged soonest.

It seems to me that Vizma is making her own version of the encyclopedia of everything. She did apples for me and looks like you got hair, or fur. Great Vizma stuff!
