Cat-signal

It's a bird, it's a blimp!

Putt, putt!

Huff and creme puff

Rest in pieces, wrinkly dinks

She doesn't have a mouth, but she has a body. Passive!

They fart art

Don't drop the bar of soap!

Badz to the bone thugs and harmony

I spy some tea cups

Sisters Laura and Lisa Ling. I refrained from saying, "Welcome back!"

Pop-up truck

What a display!

The red carpet finally settled down

The small gift

'Twas a big gift to be at Small Gift, Sanrio's 50th anniversary celebration at The Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Calif.

Yesterday's press preview opened up a whole new level of consciousness called dreamland, and everyone who was there agrees. Even Freud would agree. I talked to a Georgia-native who even did that shuffling down move due to the level of pure excitement tingling down her spine.

Everything from the caricature sketching to Pink's hot dogs and drinks was a free trial to impress the press. If only I was 21, then the event would have been even more smashing! Until then, I shall pass out from free goodies!

Small Gift L.A. runs from Nov. 12 to 21, so for more info., visit http://www.sanrio.com/smallgift
