Oh. Oh my.

That is possibly the tackiest thing I have ever seen in my life. And considering I live approximately one hour from that I-95 landmark known as South of the Border, that is saying something.

It delivers what it promises.

zomg, this is TEH AWESOME. I'm totally getting this one for my boyfriend's birthday. "Look honey! It's Zippy, in a shell!" (I also like the "1066" at the bottom, as if commemorating William the Conqueror.)

Words cannot describe how utterly perfectly those represent South Florida (especially the posh Palm Beach-ish bits).

I like the incongruity.

The dog themed wine carriers were quite upscale, if a little odd. Wine/dog or dog/wine, I didn't, quite, get the connection. But I liked that you could choose a dog breed when ordering, and I wondered what breeds would be recommended for carrying merlot, that would be utterly gauche if a person were to decide to haul chardonnay for a change. And I felt underequipped intellectually, for never in my life, heretofore, thinking for a moment that I was lacking for not having a wooden box with a handle in which to carry a bottle of wine.

That's the difference I think between the truly rich, and the rest of us. It's not the money they have to spend on cruft that seperates us from them, it's the need for ornamented cruft, that never occurs to us happy, simple heathens.

*phew!* I was afraid it was some new variation on Bansai Kitten. That was distrubing even though fake.

paulsc, it's also hard to swig the wine if it's in a wooden box.

Maybe, but as far as these particular monstrosities go, I somehow doubt that Bill Gates is exactly the target market for wooden wine caddies festooned with the heads of Shih Tzus.

Wow, bunnyfire, I'd forgotten all about South of the Border!

Is the rest of Zippy's name "the Pinhead" ? ;-)
