Dear world, you're weird!
It's amazing what oddities anyone can find when they take a moment to look. I mean really look.
For example, this little loofah was an adorable discovery from when I explored the local Japanese dollar store, Daiso, with my sister-in-law. Like the shop-aholics we are, we put a magnifying glass to every corner of the store, and through that lens we spotted the loofahs. They came in various shapes and sizes, all with happy faces; after all, who wouldn't be euphoric about scrubbing you clean...?
Maybe it's best not to answer that.
This little guy came home with me. He was only a dollar, and my boring old American scrubby needed to be retired to waste bin paradise. Then my sister-in-law and I showed it to my brother, gushing about how cute our find was. His response? "What the freak is it?!"
It's a whale!
It's a cat!
It's a seal?
Naw, the head's too big.
I dub thee whale-cat!
Why are all Japanese products so freaking cute? I mean seriously, who puts cat ears on a whale? Whoever they are, I want to give them a high-five; I can't help but chuckle whenever I look at it. Talk about a great way to start the day.
