* That's Not Very Lady-Like! *

You know about going to a dollar store intending to buy just a couple of things?? Well, when I went to Dollar Tree today, my "couple of things" turned into about 35 things. They were all vital necessities, though....you gotta believe me....except for this little lady below. She's one of those 6-inch-tall-ceramic-pieces-of-art that I normally would not care to buy....but she made me laugh, so I had to bring her home, too! AND, she was among other little statuettes that were priced 2 for $1.00.
 Look how she's standing!! She looks like she's SCRATCHING HER BUTT!!
Plus, she has a look of discomfort on her face!! I swear!!


Nothing like a 50¢ item to just make my day...and hopefully yours, too!

  3. Hilarious! Love the purchase. I suggest designing some tiny accessories for her -- dressing her up for every holiday occasion. Would Barbie clothes fit her? Oh... I suppose not. (Alas) At the very least, a tiny tube of preparation H at her feet might be a nice touch...

  4. With a hiney that big, maybe she's just having an uplifting experience.

  7. She is 'cracking' me up! She does not look like a happy camper...thus the reason she was at the dollar store and only 50 cents! I love a good laugh!

  9. Oh my gosh! You all are cracking me up! Some of the comments are just like the ones on Microfiction Monday pictures! That never occurred to me.
    And to those who got a smile or laugh....YAY! That was indeed my wish!

  12. ha ha ha ha ha ha I LOVED "Scratchin' Sally." She's my kind of gal. Can't blame her. Those dresses with the big poufs must have been brutal to wear. Hilarious post, Becky! Susan

    Thanks for making me laugh!

  15. I never thought before this moment about how miserable it must have been to have an itch while wearing a bustle. Like wearing a cast on your butt.

    I love the Dollar Tree, too. I always end up with three times as many things as I needed. But I almost never regret the purchases.

  16. That is so funny. Have you ever noticed how when you try to shop for others at Christmas you ALWAYS end up finding things you just have to buy for yourself???

  17. Aloha Becky,
    You're too funny! Looking at the photo, your figurine's face looks a little swollen so maybe she has anaphylactic shock. hehehe.
    Merry Christmas!

  18. Really just makes you wonder what the artist who created this was thinking! Where was it made? I wonder if it was in a different country if manners and decorum are different...:P
    Have a good weekend,

  19. Personally I am very curious how anyone can spend $35 at the dollar store. Not doubting it can be done, but if I was on a game show even with other people's money...well, maybe with other people's money...

    I have done the same thing. If I see something that makes me smile I know it is worth even a buck or two.

  20. You have to wonder what the designer was thinking with that mold. Do you think that they do things like this just to be funny, or that they did not look at their own work very well. So goes the assembly line. At least she has found her way to loving habds.

  28. Hey, guess what! I was at the $ store, too! I went in for boxes to put Christmas presents in and came out with boxes, double-exposed Partridge in a Pear Tree holiday gift wrap that only a mother could love (<--Mrs. Claus perhaps?); two fake and oddly feathered white birds (possible molting, if fake birds even do that) with mis-positioned eyes, those of which will pass for two turtle doves (<-The birds, not the eyes!); and a Styrofoan "pear" big-glitter accented to look like a drunk disco ball-fruit. I'm going to "do up" one of my daughter's presents to look like Christmas-cRAy! (<--It's something she looks forward to each year; I wouldn't want to let her down. LOL!) But your butt-itching, porcelain Barbie definitely trumps my measlies! P.S. Next time I go Dollar Storing, look me up. I'll be the one wearing the water-squirting faux carnation. Tee-hee!

    P.P.S. Love the Gilda quote! <--blog "frosting" to be sure!
