“Businesses lose up to $4 billion annually to employee absenteeism due to childcare problems.” — The Welfare-to-Work PartnershipIs it fair that the rest of us should have to pick up the slack? Thanks to the makers of The Office Kid, the answer is a resounding NO! They say, “You’ll soon find that exploiting the joys of parenthood has never been easier. With one simple kit, you can do as your coworkers do–make excuses, miss work and blame it all on your kid.”
Cobbler to the stars Christian Louboutin has collaborated with Barbie to create this limited edition Cat Burglar Barbie. She comes with a collection of 4 red-soled Louboutins, including ankle boots, peep-toes, and knee-high boots. Barbie comes with a stand and is presented in a brown designer-style box with a copy of Christian and Barbie’s travel journal.
At $150, this is much cheaper than a real pair of Louboutin’s sadistic five-inch heels. Unfortunately, Cat Burglar Barbie is sold out at the moment. (I, for one, am dying to read her travel journal!) You can sign up on net-a-porter to find out when she’s back in stock. And just to get a jump on next year’s gift, maybe you’d better put the stripper pole on layaway.
The Tauntaun sleeping bag is a great way to introduce the little ones to the great Star Wars series. Oh, who are we kidding? You want one for yourself! And the folks over at ThinkGeek know it because they’ve made it adult size.The inside is printed to look like intestines and it comes with a lightsaber zipper pull so you can reenact Han Solo cutting it open—it’s dead already so back off, PETA people—to save Luke Skywalker from freezing to death on the planet Hoth. Have “Luke” rip a Silent But Deadly fart so you can utter Han’s famous line: “I thought they…smelled bad…on the outside.”
For the friend fed up with the holiday:
Happy Holidays, everybody!

Every office seems to have at least one person who truly deserves that soap – the one who seems to spend all their time persuading people that whatever they want him to do isn't his responsibility.
@Brian: That's so true. I guess this would be a good "gift" throughout the year.
Wonderful gift ideas!! LOL!! That Barbie has my interest but I don't think my granddaughters would appreciate the satire! They want clothes in copious quantities! {sigh} But it is fun shopping for them, especially when they provide the wish list. It is a no-brainer! Hugs

I'm not even one of the obsessive fans, but even I think a sleeping bag with guts and light sabers would be kind of cool…
Pontius Pilate soap? Wow. Who knew?
On a separate note, still loving your movie notes over at Netflix. You need to do a movie review here…or combine a couple of those from Netflix for over here.
@slommler: They give Barbie's dimensions on the website so you could see if the other clothes could fit her. That's if you really want to drop $150 on a Barbie!
@Venom: I know. I really want that sleeping bag for myself. The photos on the website are really funny.
@unfinished: I gave the soap to my hubby. I couldn't wait until Christmas. He loves it.
You must be psychic because I was just poting a new Netflix note and thinking I should do another mini movie review post….
I'm going to order at least five of those office kids!
"The Office Kid" is sheer brilliance wrapped in 24k gold. This is one of those ideas where I wonder "why didn't I think of that?!".
Haha I love it! Especially the sleeping bag… and I'm very annoyed catwoman barbie didn't exist when I was younger! In my day it was all "shaving ken" and "cinderella barbie". blergh.

That Barbie looks more like "Escort Barbie." Does she come with Tiger Wood's number programmed into her cellphone?
Dear Santa, I would like the PONTIUS PILOT soap so that I can wash my hands of the entire damn christmas mess while I drink REALLY hot coffee from the "I WISH I WAS DEAD" coffee cup while cleaning my gun. What could possibly go wrong…..
That's the first Han Solo fart joke I ever heard! Well done.
I'm trying to imagine the microscopic tool used for creating the "peep toe" in a barbie doll shoe.
