Yes, It Exists: Clown Meat

There are so many things you see at a fan convention that make you say, “Wait…what?” Clown Meat is definitely one of those. I spotted this wonderfully disturbing little novelty at the recent Flame Con, where it immediately caught my attention. It sure looks exactly like a tin of salted and preserved meat, complete with a vintage-style label featuring a cheerful-looking clown tossing a steak into the air. The tagline? “It tastes funny.” Clever.

Ten Most Adorable Small Dogs I Met at AKC’s Meet The Breeds!

It’s that time again for my annual review of the American Kennel Club’s Meet the Breeds event at Javits Center. When people see my coverage here and on social media, they often ask, “Gail, don’t they have any large breeds at this show?” And of course, the answer is yes—lots and lots of large breeds.

However, my strategy for the show is to focus on the small dogs, mostly because of the off-the-charts cuteness factor, which is irresistible to me. They’re also a little easier to get close to, and thus easier —not necessarily easy — to photograph. The photography challenge is always the same: trying to capture a clear shot of a moving, energetic puppy while dozens of visitors are reaching in to pet them simultaneously. Photos that seem like they’re going to be adorable sometimes end up a little blurry, with plenty of hands and arms in the frame. But that’s life when your mission is to bring back photos of many charming little pooches that you might just find yourself wanting to have as a pet of your own.

While digging around for a stock image (don’t even ask what I was searching for), I stumbled across something so gloriously random I had to share: Barbie, dressed as one of Santa’s Helpers, hovering over a tiny toilet bowl. Clearly, she’s here to remind us all not to overdo it at those holiday parties. Pace yourself, people—no one wants to end up on the Naughty List like Barbie!
