One of many weird things I found on my camera's built-in memory. This is the most recent of them, taken during a Harry-Pauttah-themed journey to the Theatre.
A friend sent me this, so I am not sure as to its origins. I really thought I had seen it all, in terms of sexist advertising.
My neighbours throw out some really weird stuff! Dig the industrial sized castors on this covered armchair ! 'Nuff said.
Whenever we travel we look for unusual stuff. We also like street art and popping into art galleries and interesting stores. This album is mix of all that from a trip we took to Barcelona, Spain, in January 2025. What a beautufil city - I would go back there again!
Since I had the day off, I played backyard tourist at Gilgal Garden in SLC. The area is a pseudo-park behind the Hostess factory. The air smells of bread.
From the literature obtained at the park:
"The garden contains 12 original sculptural arrangements and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems and philosophical texts."
In a phrase, it's damn weird.
Alix and I got this in the terrifying Toy District of Downtown LA. It's the most improbable ornament ever: a piece of mirror with a glass teddy filled with purple pearlised beads, with a footballer (soccer-player to Americans) on a spring, in this case Candela. I just had to have it.
That rapids ride really fascinated me. This is from the trip where we tried to go to Disneyland a few days before the new year (Dec. 2005) but there were too many people and they told us we could only go to California Adventure.
These interesting designs are probably kettles or berries, but they sure look like curling rocks to me! Anyone know about this? Class? Beuler? Anyone?
My friend Rob runs Drive Design and uses the offices to display his weird and wonderful array of kitsch, tat and stuff. It's the kind of place where you would find a bleeding Jesus votive candle next to a shrunken head in a fez. See more of his collection here: flickr.com/photos/atweed/sets/72157603040754945/
Brought to you by the friendly folks at the Kowloon City District Council and the HKSAR Food and Environmental Hygiene Department!
Funnily enough, the building also houses the Hung Hom Municipal Services Building, which includes the local branch of the Hong Kong Public Library, a sports hall or two, and many other goodies. Apparently. Do they manage to cram it all in...

This coffeehouse/jeweler/weirdstuff emporium was quite outrageous, and quite delightful. Nate and I visited twice during our trip, and I visited again in June, on my way to a friend's wedding.
Outrageous was featured in the "top 20 under 40" of the Northeast Pennsylvania Business Journal.
Photos of the scranton location are available online.
