Little Prince Body Art

Do you love The Little Prince enough to get some LP Body Art?

"This is my first tattoo. It’s the little prince playing with his fox in a field.

The story of the book means a lot to me and I’m very happy with the result."

If it's something you know you can live with in 20 years, isn't that all that really matters?

The Little Prince - It ain't no Candyland

Possibly the strangest board game I have ever seen. Who even knew such a thing existed? A game based on the 1974 Film Version of The Little Prince. So bizarre, it almost warrants purchasing.




Here's what the seller has to say:

Wonderful 1974 family board game based on the Paramount motion picture THE LITTLE PRINCE - adapted from the internationally popular book by Antoine de Saint Exupery. Ages 6 and up. 2 or 3 players travel through space with the Little Prince as he meets with characters that enlighten his understanding of life. Complete with 4 player's pieces and 54 cards. Learn the truths from the book as you play the cards and advance your pieces. Help the pilot find truth when he crashes his plane in the Sahara Desert and meets the Little Prince. Meet the King, the scientist, the fox, the snake and the rose. If you've read Antoine de Saint-Exupery's book, you will enjoy this unique and rare board game from 1974. Box is in near mint condition,with only slight wear on the corners. The book, VHS and DVD of this 1974 movie adaption can be found on Amazon Books and Movies for under $15.00. What a nice idea. Match the game with the box and give it to a young pre-teenager as a gift. Box measures 18" by 9". (via)

A Pre-teenager, huh? Just so they can work out their existentialist crises right away?

Couture Barbapapa

Can Barbapapa and high fashion ever truly mix? For designers Laura and Lavinia Biagiotti's Doll collection, they've given it a try. The Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Collection features Barbapapa imagery throughout, mixed with a bit of clothing that reminds me of Gaultier's collection for the movie City of Lost Children.




The "garments celebrate the cartoon and the power of imagination, transforming for different uses just like the Barbapapa family that turns into flowers, hearts, alphabet letters, and so much more! As oversized embroidery in relief or hidden details on denim and fleece, the whole Barbapapa family can be found on outfits of the Dolls that come in three vibrant colors of the brand – white, red, and black. Barbapapa turns into a heart that brightens a striped sweater and jersey T-shirts. Barbamama, with a crown of sequin flowers, is the main theme for tops, mini-dresses, and T-shirts worn with white, black, and red striped Lurex leggings. Barbabeau, the artist of the clan, is embroidered on cashmere pullovers and sporty-chic chenille." (via)

I must admit that I find the whole child-model thing a little wierd, and I can't really imagine cashmere for kids. That said, I am a fan of black and white stripes so maybe this collection could win my heart.

Barbapapa for a fancy dress party

For what occasion would you wear a Barbapapa Cocktail ring? Whatever the event, it would be sure to be fabulous.

Tintin on a Mission alright. On a Mission to make your office look awesome.

Well done, James Jersey de Knoop.

Strange Doctor Barbicarbonate - Even the title is perfect

I'm sure I've said this before, but I am not an ebay person. Today, however, I was tempted by this lot of Vintage Barbapapa books. Of course, I hope the seller doesn't live with regret after getting rid of these gems.

I wish I could read Armenian

because it would mean I could read the quotes on the back of this lovely jewelry. So much to enjoy about these Little Prince pendants and earrings from Smart Crafts, and Armenian artist Vahagn Vardumyan.

Now, can anyone tell me what it says?
