The Blue Fairy

I bought this on ebay a little while ago. If I understand correctly, this pin was given out to participants chosen to perform in a parade at Disneyland. A larger version was sold in the stores. I don't really collect Disney pins, I have one that was a gift and one I bought on impulse this past Christmas, but I thought if I should have one, this would be it.

The Blue Fairy from Pinocchio was the inspiration for my well-known online moniker. I have a dress somewhat like this one which I once wore whilst shopping in old town Pasadena (granted, we just had dinner at the Ritz). Maybe you saw me? Anyway, everyone thought I was Cinderella, but I decided I liked how blue fairy rhymed with Mary and here you go!

I think I'll dig out my old blue fairy tote bag and pin it on for my official marybluefairy outings.

Doctor Grordbort's Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory

See what came for me in the mail today? I hear that it was delivered by a postman perched on an incredible contraption identified as the Posteriotron 12. You know, I inquired about just such a machine several months ago and was told they were not in production. Liars! Why, I am of a mind to march right down there to Doctor Grordbort's laboratory and take him out. Of course, since my only weapon is my mini Manmelter, I hope to take him by surprise.

Anyway, this marvellous directory of dingus is available for $12.95 from Weta Publishing (through Dark Horse Comics). With shipping from UPS, I paid about $20. Do yourself a favor and get one from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Grordborts-Contrapulatronic-Dingus-Directory/dp/1593078765/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201671489&sr=8-1
