easter peep show (not what you think!)


In light of the holiday, the Washington Post has published the finalists and winner of the second annual Peeps Diorama Contest. All of the 37 "best creations" can be found at this link.

Some of my favorites included 'Nightmare in Pink' (picture 3), a send up of Maurice Sendak, 'Thrilla in Manila' (picture 5), which riffs on the popular youtube footage of the prisoners dancing to Michael Jackson in Manila, 'Peeplona: The Running of the Peeps' (forgot to get the picture number on that one), 'Peeps Atop A Sky Scraper' (picture 12), which recreates the famous 1932 photograph of construction workers eating lunch high above the ground, and 'Peepadeus' (picture 23), which is an homage to the wonderful film Amadeus.

Also expect to see references to the fallen Senator Craig, Amy Winehouse and Hugh Hefner.

Hilarious stuff, and very fitting for the holiday!

Again the link is HERE.

Actually, (I hope) you'll be happy to know it *was* what I thought it was.

(Although I did catch the double entendre ;))
