Holiday Gift Guide - 2006 edition - Post 1

December 1st, 2006 by APK

All right, here we are. Except a variation of this intro every day. Still, for the next 12 weekdays (counting this as 1) I will do one post with a bunch of gift items for the holiday season. They may not be feasible, they may be very cheap or very pricey. They will also be… well mostly… different. No socks here, unless they are made of bacon. No ties unless they can also be used as an umbrella, go it?

There will also be a final gift, in each entry, that will be something either written by me or by someone I like and feel like promoting. Why? Because I can.

If you have an idea for a strange gift, feel free to mail me, but send me a link to a store people can buy it, and a description.

Also, if you own any of the items, any of them at all, please speak up! People will love to have input along the lines of what you do and don’t like about a certain item. So speak up and share your feelings on things.

And now we’re off!

———————————————–

This first day, though, is gonna be kinda strange. There will be two items and only two. One is a special item and one is the daily self-pimp. First the item!

The Lime Project

Heather has Hodgkin’s disease. It’s a cancer of the lymphatic system. Sadly her salary doesn’t pay the hospital bills she has racked up trying to stay alive. So a bunch of her friends got together and thought about how they could help her.

They decided to get naked. Don’t you wish your friends helped you like that?

So they stripped on down and made a calendar. Each calendar costs $20 plus $5 shipping. You can also just go donate if you don’t want a calendar but do want to help. So why help? Aren’t there hundreds of people asking for your help all the time? Sure. How do you choose? I don’t know. I can get annoyed when people put this sort of thing forth to me all the time, myself. This one, however, contains boobs. I have a feeling this elevates it in many minds right up to a worthy cause. Whatever. I am not going to even ask you to buy a calendar. That isn’t the idea of the gift guide. I simply point out things that would make a good gift. alt.models are hot right now. Regular women doing a nude calendar is actually a decent market corner by itself. So if you are looking for one, here it is!

++++++++++++

Today’s self pimp will be:


Crazy Little Thing
(click cover to buy)

I wrote this one back a few years ago but I also know we are not planning to print any more, currently. So there is a good chance that this is your LAST SHOT at getting a copy unless you find Die Monster Die! books at a convention and there are some spares hidden. If it does get reprinted somewhere else, there’s a chance it won’t have the wonderful art this edition has. Seriously, this should be grabbed while it can be.

Horror-web gave it a 4.5 out of 5. I consider it probably my favorite story that I’ve gotten to do so far. Not that I don’t love the rest, but this one holds a special place for me. $6.95 lands you a copy, and hey free shipping.
