Never mind the fact that Shiitake — as in the mushroom –is actually spelled with two “i”s. This adorable and sassy plush toy from Punchkins get the message across. Spotted at NY Now at Javits Center, which is always a fun time.

Ty are best known for their globally-popular line of Beanie Baby plush toys and their big-eyed Beanie spin-offs, so you may be surprised to know that Ty has expanded its world of cuteness to include footwear! Among their wildly squee-worthy line of slippers and slides designed to cover the feet or your equally adorable child, you can now find these plush Flamingo Slippers. So plush, so Pink. They may be designed for children, but I bet I could make them fit me.

When you were a kid, did you collect Beanie Babies? I never did, because they were invented when I was well into adulthood, but I still have a small collection of them because people have been giving them to me as gifts for over thirty years. Why, I have no idea. My point is that I have no ocassion to really think of Beanie Babies and their many spin-off plush friends unless I am attending a NY Now gift show, and then I enjoy spending a few minutes in the Ty booth checking out all their crazy new plushies that have huge, oversized  eyes like those paintings by this artist. They all look like they are on acid, which I find creepy. Of course I could not resist snapping a pic of this gigantic, round and very Pink Unicorn. Because, Pink Thing.

OMG, how cute is this week’s Pink Thing of The Day? I found this adorable plushy at Flame Con 2019 and was informed that this is a Pokémon creature called Ditto. Here’s the lowdown from the Pokémon Wiki (yes, there is one):
In its natural state, Ditto is a light purple or pink amorphous Pokémon with vestigial facial features. The face consists of a simple mouth and beady eyes. It also appears to have two pseudopods protruding from its body that it uses as arms. It is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any physical object, including its form and abilities. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong.
Good to know!
