monster, Monster, MONSTER
Girl-E was once described by a friend as being "artistically retarded". Besides the picture-perfect one-inch-square clay elephant she made when she was six, during a fleeting ten minutes in which she possessed savant-like spatial relation skills and dexterity that have never again materialized, this is entirely true.
However, this does not bother her, because she can live vicariously through those who rock the artsy house. Like Kat, who illustrated her writing website (that has not gone live after like 8 months of talking about it, but you know, the road to hell and all that). And, of course, Hilatron, whose wonderful crafty goods make you want to skip around the park in a floppy hat.
And now, it is the most exciting time of year, when that Crafty Robot makes and offers to the cash or credit paying public what is perhaps the most excellent of all holiday items ever created in the universe, her shiny, pretty, very very scary patent-pending MONSTER STOCKINGS!!!!!
Order yours now, one for you and all of your friends. Everyone will think you are so incredibly awesome and cool. Girl-E already has two but will most definitely be acquiring a few more, and will probably leave them up all year 'round.
p.s. We will, we promise, be getting to the post suggestions you all so graciously offered last week. It's just that Girl-E is tromping off to L.A. on Friday, and all our creativity is going into helping her choose outfits, but it'll happen.

You are the best! Oh, and, hello, last time I checked, writing's an art form.

Well, I meant the visual arts. I can't even wrap presents.

Huh, I never thought of you as artistically impaired. You do fall down a lot, though, which I guess is a form of spatial impairment.

I know you only wrote that comment to passively tell me that I spelled 'spatial' wrong. My mother thanks you.
