Obsessions

Love ‘em. Hate ‘em. We all have ‘em. Those teeny, tiny little quirks. Those hang ups. Those things that we enjoy just a little tooooo much. Stuff on which we are infinite source of trivial knowledge. Those personal oddities that we don’t express openly. Personal preferences that somehow go the extra step beyond passion. What am I talking about? Obsessions. Like it or not we all have them. We do our best to hide them, sometimes even from ourselves. Obsessions are one of those little personal bits of eccentricity that we try to justify. Yet can’t. We know that there is no logic out there to define them Ah, but who needs justification? Obsessions are human. Obsessions are fun. February is the month for obsessions. What other month gives you both love and chocolate together? This month I have scratched the very human surface of the women that make up the Vampire Church Council. Under the surface are some very warm fun unique individuals. In this month’s website review I share a personal obsession of each. So toss a log on the mid winter fire and see what makes each of us burn deep inside.

Silver

Shag Art

SHAG

Shag-a-licious baby. The Jetson’s meets flotsam. 60’s pop art sensibility with 21st century cynicism. The work of artist Josh Agle uses a representational cartoon style as a platform for social observation and commentary. His website offers you enough eye candy to keep you swooning for hours. You will find your self immersed hip deep in 60’s martini and tiki culture. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any cooler, you are whisked away to the Shagmart where you can accessorize your life with everything from Shag prints to barware and apparel. Shag-a-licious baby. Shag-a-licious.

Linda

Pens– but only the cool ones

Pen Collectors Of America

Float About

“I wasn’t sure I had an obsession, “mused our newest Council sister, “but my friends told me otherwise.” This is kind of obsession I love. One that just sneaks up on you and you aren’t even aware that it is there. Seems Linda collects pens from very place she has ever visited and she is not alone in her quest for the ultimate writing instrument. The Pen Collectors website takes this obsession national even calling for a Web Museum of Writing Implements. Cool.

Float About just keeps it fun. Floaty pens are the ultimate mini vacation. The whisk you away to weekend you spent at the beach or the afternoon drive to the mountains. Float About has been the well secret of pen collectors for years. They have all the latest and greatest news and events for someone with even the slightest interest in floaty pens. It is a MUST read for those with a even the slightest twitch of a floaty obsession.

Dunya

Bunnies

HnH Farms

It seems the all the VC Council women are obsessed with Dunya’s bunnies. We cried when Ozzy lost Sharon. Rejoiced at Issy Sunshine’s ribbons at the fair. Thing is we all love the bunnies. There are beautiful. For Dunya this is more than just an obsession – it’s a business. And is seems like her business is well breading like rabbits. She started with just a few and now has over 16 bunnies with more n the way. Check back often. For not only does she update date on a regular basis she provides a wealth of interesting links to other bunny places.

Chocolate Cake

Hershey's

What is my obsession what deep dark thing to I have tucked away. Chocolate cake. Not just any chocolate cake. THE chocolate cake. Drive an hour and a half each away for it chocolate cake. Road trip chocolate cake. And hey with Chocolate Mecca only a road trip why not give into my every chocolate fantasy? The website here has more than enough offering to tantalize you – factory tours – seasonal offerings – chocolate history – fact and nutritional information. Everything chocolate is seems except for that cake. Take my word for it – it’s worth the road trip.

I hope you have enjoyed our obsessions – we sure do.

Until next month.
