A Miracle! Olympics 2012 Merch Pretty Enough To Want!

I'm the sort of sucker who loves buying all the 'stuff' that goes along with any big event. I've been sorely disappointed with the branding of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

I think the people behind the logos & mascot really missed a trick. Imagine bags & tees of the Lion & the Unicorn. Big plushes of Unicorns? I would buy ALL THAT CRAP. Instead we have some pink & blue Cyclopes that I don't want anywhere near me.

But, I finally found these British seaside inspired pins with the 2012 logo on the John Lewis Olympic merchandise page. £6.50 each, what do you think?

Can only imagine the prices, literally, because I can't understand the foreign website.

Monsters You'll Want to Befriend- Felt Mistress

Felt Mistress has an exhibition of her monsters at No Brow Shop in East London. If I wasn't in Northern Ireland I'd be there to see these in real life.
I think I could fall in love with all these beasts.
