If you've been itching to write a review of a headscratchingly bizarre children's book, you have about 26 hours to send it into DT's review contest. Come Monday night, the contest will end--though with the backlog, reviews will still be published for a couple of days.
Everyone whose review is published is eligible for the random name-in-a-hat-style drawing for some sweet, sweet prizes from a few cool generous sponsors--and a couple from me:
Sparkability's provided a riding toy designed by Philippe Starck. it's called The Face, and it's like the wacked out cousin that the urbane Maclaren By Starck stroller keeps locked in her attic.
Javis Davis is offering a custom-made 4-piece crib bedding set. Custom crib bedding being their core competency and all.
Modernseed has offered some exclusive reissues of Alexander Girard's midcentury designs on pillows and kids' t-shirts. Perfect for the mini, as they say (and the the mini-modernist).
And I'm throwing in some limited-run daddy type t-shirts in experimental colors, and a special Goodnight Moon package, including a first edition, and a copy of Boom Baby Moon, the sick Yuppie-era parody version. Of course, swap out a DVD player for the baby's VCR, and it could've been written yesterday...
[see full "rules" and descriptions of Modernseed and Javis Davis's prizes.]
So your child sits on The Face while holding the mustache?! Am I the only one who thinks that's a little freaky?
[holy moley. you're right. -ed.]
