Martha's Vineyard Gingerbread Houses

/
I always appreciate it when Twitter friends point out things they think would be apt for The World of Kitsch.

@AideenJ tweeted me this morning after enjoying the posts about multi-coloured houses from a few weeks back.

Aideen asked me had I ever seen the Gingerbread Houses of Martha's Vineyard? I hadn't! I always though Martha's Vineyard was a chain of restaurants for a start. Thank you for sharing these with me, and anyone else, feel free to tweet me things you find here & there @rudedoodle.

Vic Reeves' Illustrations

/
I've been a fan of Vic Reeves since the early 90s, so was keen to watch his new children's tv show 'The Ministry of Curious Stuff'. Just watched episode one on BBC Iplayer & it's pretty decent. Some of it has the feel of Vic's Big Night Out, but unfortunately Bob isn't part of this CBBC project.

When the episode ended, my son asked to watch it again immediately. So proud. I think he's still too young for The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer, The Ministry will do in the meantime. Vic also produces these creepy little drawings, and if you scroll down there's a video of how he incorporates them into a bizarre opening song.

I'm off now to try and find the 'Trapped in my Flat' song and Mulligan & O'Hare.
