Pop Princess

Spotted in the Slope on 12th Street and 6th Ave:

At first glance, I thought this was just a jazzy purse for a princessy little girl.  But closer inspection revealed possibly my best find ever:

Classic style, but retro technology :(

That's right - a DISNEY PRINCESS DISCMAN!  Holy crap!  My inner 12 year-old just about passed out!

In a landfill somewhere, there is a mix-disc with Angela Lansbury's "Beauty and the Beast" on it, just dying to be played on this little piece of awesomeness...

Brooklyn Gold Rush!

Spotted in the Slope on 6th Ave and 12th Street:

There is something about the combination of the desk, water mill toy and work pants that makes me think this vignette is basically a kiddie gold prospecting operation.

Repeat Offender! For the Love of Stuffed Animals!

Spotted in the Slope on 6th Ave and 9th Street:

At least this little guy is well equipped to self-soothe by rocking himself back and forth...

If the background surrounding this elephant looks familiar, it should: these are the same folks behind Pooh Bear's tragic demise, reported by ATIB back in August.

What is with these monsters?  More specifically: what do they have against stuffed animals?

Agent Orange

Spotted in the Slope on 6th Ave and 14th Street:

He holds his own on the mean streets of Brooklyn, no?

It appears that this orange fella may have fallen out of a sleeping toddler's hands while being wheeled around Brooklyn.  Or perhaps he is an escapee from last week's bath toys, all of whom are almost certainly destined for a landfill life...

Regardless, and on the upside, given his spongy makeup, perhaps he'll grow up to be the size of a real teddy bear if it rains.  Dream big, little guy, dream big...
