Alligator Boy Hatchling for Sale

The talented Steve Cotroneo at Autumn's Oddities currently has a gorgeous, creepy alligator boy gaff for sale on Ebay.

According to the listing, it is made of latex, polymer clay and urethane foam, and comes nestled with an authentic ostrich egg inside its wooden crate.

At 350$, it's a bit too expensive for a broke student such as me, but considering it's a piece of original art, it's still quite a good deal!

The joys of ebay

Inspired by the XKCD comic above, I decided to do a bit of good ol' shopping on eBay. I gave myself a budget of $50.00 (although I ended up spending the astronomical sum of $52.89, shipping included), and ended up with plenty of interesting stuff.

Here's what I bought myself with these 52 bucks:

- a pair of Florsheim Imperial brogues (my size! yay!)
- a 20'' leather cat o' nine tails (don't ask...)
- a silk tie with matching pocket square and cufflinks
- a sterling silver ring with an ornate fleur de lis on top of it
- a red, vintage looking t-shirt for the 2010 vancouver winter games
- a mistery gift (can't wait to find out what it is!)
- silver & rhodium triangle cufflinks
- black and stainless steel cufflinks sporting a sphinx's face
- a pair of 00g plugs made out of 3 different kind of exotic woods
- a sleek stainless steel ring with a cross design
- a lot of 20 sterile, individually wrapped piercing needles going from 18g to 12g

not too bad, right?
