So we’re redecorating the upstairs powder room and I’m looking for, I don’t know, something special. Something feminine to class the place up, and that also reflects who I am as a person. How can I combine my love of mid-century pop music with my passion for taxidermy?
I know!
The disembodied heads of renowned 60’s girl group, the Kleenettes! I’ll just replace all that neural tissue with soft, absorbent facial tissue and Darlene, Marlene, and Charlene can be with me forever. They’ll go perfectly with my Sha Na Na toothbrush holders.
I want Sha Na Na toothbrush holders.
*snort*
i want that hairdo!!
Oh. Dear. God.
Let me guess. Their eyes follow you around the room, right?
Here’s hoping you have more than one bathroom, because with those in there, I’d never pee at home again.
do they blink when you pull out a Kleenex?
Oh, please tell me that they blink when you pull out a kleenex! So very freaky. You definately need a toilet paper roll that plays “It’s my Party”
Will we see a Spice Girls series soon?
Put Sporty in Junior’s room, Baby in the nursery, Ginger in the kitchen and Posh can class up the powder room!
oh, my gosh.
I remember those. I TOTALLY remember those. My mom used to get the Herrshner’s catalog and they were in there. (to her credit: she never ordered any of the stuff in there. Particularly the more monstrous stuff)
They creeped me out, not so much for the disembodied head thing as for the giant hair thing. But yeah, the disembodied head thing is pretty creepifying now that you think of it.
I wonder if those are the disembodied heads of Satan’s back up singers?
Doo Wop indeed
Brilliant.
OMG. I almost peed my pants laughing so hard! Also because I actually remember seeing some of these at craft fairs when I was a little girl. Thanks for digging these up!
I want to buy heads and faces and make scary things too!!!!!! You make me laugh so hard that I feel afraid of dying. But I can’t stop looking!!!!
i have two of these, they’re disturbingly awesome.
Ha Ha. My mom and I still laugh when she tells how she made those plastic head and fur kleenex cozies. In the 1970s, Mom actually gave one to her adult niece for Christmas.
these are so hideous I actually want to make some for joke gifts.
My grandmother has one of those at her house. The hair is neon red.
