National Bird Day

Shame on me, I'm a Bowerbird and I didn't celebrate National Bird Day last Monday. I was sat at my desk in my 'studio' last night searching for a muse and I think I may have found it in the form of the National Holidays website, there are infinite amounts of useless holidays we should be celebrating. So this could become a regular post, I did a few in advance last night, excuse the dates/holidays I've missed so far, but there are some brilliant ones on the horizon.

Bowerbird Barbie

Only joking, it's actually The Birds Barbie, created to celebrate the film's 45th anniversary, couldn't they have waited another 5 years? It seems an arbitrary anniversary, ho hum, here's the blurb, note the age restriction, brilliant. Also it was Zombie Barbie on Monday I wonder what's next?

In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense, gave us a tale of terror not soon forgotten in his film “The Birds.” Dressed in a re-creation of the stylish green skirt-suit worn by the film’s ill-fated heroine in an iconic scene, Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” Barbie® Doll celebrates the 45th anniversary of the acclaimed film. From the doll’s classic ensemble to the perfectly painted expression to the accompanying black birds, every aspect captures the film’s infamous appeal.

A Note to Parents: The Birds is rated PG-13. Consult

It's a collector's bargain at $40, bag The Birds Barbie here.

I came across Micah's work via the launch of new website Hugo and Marie, I couldn't pick a favourite colourway of the above design, so I chose all of them to adorn my desktop.
