And it gets ... so .... much ....WORSE!!

Cat Chant

No, that second one has to be made up! Surely!

Cat Chant

Hang on - which one's little Dubya? Don't tell me - it's the Damien figure - the only dark-haired child, the one with the slightly sinister tilt to his head, amongst the tow-headed cherubs grinning at the camera with childlike openness and trust...

That is terrifying.

Unless you confess you made that up I may end my life.

Not made up. It's sold at Amazon together with JFK and family paper doll book, Lady Di, Dwight D Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, and Jackie Onassis paper doll books. I'm not skilled enough to provide a link, and I don't want to hasten your suicide Mr Illmatic.

WHAT KIND OF CLOTHES DO YOU GET TO DRESS THEM IN???

Inquiring minds want to know...

(and I'd be interested to find out, too).

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

08:27 / 24.10.02

please tell me they have pirate costumes.

(Course, if they came on MY ship, I'd have the fuckers walking the plan quicker'n you could say "what a bunch of tossers".)

That's funny... I coulda sworn that by the time Bush was President (and Barbara B looked so matronly) Dubya had been making illegal profits from oil companies for a good, ooh, fifteen years.

What horrible slippers Bush has...

William Sack

08:31 / 24.10.02

I knew I had seen the George Bush-in-underwear picture before. It persuaded me to buy this wonderful book.

illmatic

08:46 / 24.10.02

I've pulled myself back from the brink of suicide.
Never mind the clothes, who fucking buys this? Why did they make it? What is going on? When i see something like that I think "hmm.. maybe David Icke is right, maybe the Lizards are in control".

William Sack

Never mind the clothes, who fucking buys this? Why did they make it? What is going on?

All good questions, and ones I couldn't begin to answer, but the author/illustrator has over 200 paper-doll books to his name, including this. There are 29 sumptuous costumes, though I don't know whether that spattered dress is included.

Dubya's dancing if you're asking.

The Return Of Rothkoid

10:33 / 24.10.02

Hey, that series of books fucking rocks. The Kennedy family gets a whirl - including Jackie's pill-box hat brain-accessorised outfit - in another, while the best one is, for my money, the dress-the-pope one. It's fucking genius.

illmatic

Is there a pop off section for the top of JFKs head?

I'm just mesmerised by how smooth and hairless GB Senior's legs are. Did he have a brief stint as Robin?

Bear

I'm amazed that the george bush book has sold 284,047 copies!?

gridley

I was amused to see that the Strom Thurmond paper dolls book doesn't even come with clothes to dress him up in. Just various wheel chairs and hospital beds and a seat in the senate so sticky you can't get his underwear-clad ass out of it without ripping the doll in half.

Deva - the dark-haired child *is* George Bush ... but not Dubya - Jeb's (?) son George Jr.

As well as Pops and Babs with a natty selection of presidential duds (sorry Stoatie, no pirate costume - but surely it would've been more likely to be Ninja anyway?), you get a fully-clothed collection of their grandchildren. The five on the cover are just a small selection.

For some reason Noelle didn't make it to the cover. But she's included inside - along with Barbara and Lauren. Jenna's next to George Jr. on the cover.

Oh my god, think I want to die...

just mesmerised by how smooth and hairless GB Senior's legs are.

Checking out their respective physiques, think we know who the butch in that relationship is, don't we?

well that's a relief. nothing would surprise me right now.

I haven't investigated this thoroughly, but I doubt there's paper dolls of the Clintons in underwear. Bill Clinton in boxers just isn't suitable for children.

Goodness Gracious Meme

14:23 / 24.10.02

"Bill Clinton in boxers isn't just suitable for children", surely?

This is today's "Most Fantastic Thing I Have Ever Seen". Apart from being wonderful in their own right, there's untold collage potential. You could base a whole comic on 'em.

William Sack

15:53 / 24.10.02

Please someone tell me that I'm not the only one who thinks the grand-daughter on the left is winking coquettishly.

It gets worse. The bastard's done loads of the vile things.

Can you imagine a parent giving their kid this to play with?

Dress some inbred lizzzardsssssssss.

I'm trying not to imagine a Barbelith edition in this product line...

that does it - Im going to make my own. but magnets. with ultra-naughty accessories

Ethan Hawke

17:44 / 24.10.02

The bastard's done loads of the vile things.

"Loads" does not even begin to describe it. He's done almost every president and his family (Though I did check for Taft, to see how his legendary corpulence was handled, and he wasn't listed), fashion designs from every decade in the 1900s (and most of the 1800s), several ancient societies, "Favorite Black Entertainers," "Little Girls" of almost every culture (Little Chinese Girl, Little Mexican girl, little Swedish girl...) It's amazing.

I kinda want to see him do a line in colonial founding fathers, but possibly that's just because I want to dress Jefferson up like a girl...

I like GB's "I'm a little teapot" pose and respect his courage in going for slippers without socks.

Babs is just turning me on. Lacy black. Who'da thunk?
