Alternatively Cute



Now despite all of it's creepiness and whatnot, the alternative/underground world has a vast amount of cute things for people to bask in. Most of these come in the form of stuffed animals and other toys. Take for example a delightful little line of stuffed toys called Skelanimals. These adorable creatures range from anything to Kit the lovable skeleton cat to Timmy the sneaky skeleton spider (seen on right). The Skelanimals line hosts a variety of toys and merchandise that can be seen on their site here. There you can find anything Skelanimals from their different series of stuffed toys to clothing to perfumes. Each Skelanimal toy comes with their own back story as well as a list of their likes and dislikes for their new owner to be aware of. Personally my favorites so far are little Timmy there as well as Diego, a cute little bat.
The Vamplets (seen above) are another alternative to those boring, ordinary toys. These cute bloodsuckers just want a good home and a neck to bite. Like the Skelanimals line, there are a variety of options for you to choose from, including clothing and a bottle of disappearing blood, just like those disappearing juice bottles... only better. They also come with their own bios that tells their new mommies and daddies about the personality traits of their newly adopted Vamplet. All of their merchandise as well as the whole Vamplet online world can be viewed here. The nursery is especially cute.

  2. It's so frustrating sometimes though, because you want them all then you realize "Oh yeah, I'm broke." >.<

  3. These are so fucking cute. It annoys me though that there are people trying to copy the allure that toys like this have and turn them into things for spoiled little bitch kids, like those gothic barbie things that they have now. I appreciate the culture that they are trying to introduce kids to, but the way they go about it is just stupid. If all alternative toys were like this, the world would be a cuter place.
