This past Thursday, we three – sister, brother and I, went to
Galveston for the day. And, like all
tourists, we walked the Strand – the street that has some of the most
interesting shops and buildings on the island.
One of the shops we went into is called “Christmas on the Strand”. And, yes, they have half of their shop
dedicated to Christmas stuff year-around.
I like looking at ornaments no matter the date.
There were many interesting and unusual things. Some really pretty, some odd, and mostly having to do with the ocean and ocean related things. But, by far, the most eye-catching ornaments were these - -
December Diamonds Merman
This December
Diamonds Beached Whale merman has black and white glittered Shamu tail. He is bald, brawny, wearing black shades, a
whale tail necklace, and holding an ice cream cone!

Anyone care for a
little pup play?
That is one hot
unicorn! With a drink in hand, gold belt, unicorn horn, and rainbow sparkle
tail, this Rainbow Merman is ready for Gay pride! These are not your average
merman ornaments.
Pet the Puss
There were a bunch more if none of these appeal to you. Everything from Cowboys to Doctors; from to Vampires to Hard Hat types. Great, just great!
I love those gay mermen ornaments! My fave (that I've seen so far) is the Leatherman Merman, with his black leather jacket, hat and harness! Although I must say, that Muscle Bunny Merman in the unicorn floatie is pretty nice too!
ReplyDeleteNew to me. Rather unique.
ReplyDeleteI love those! I think Ellen posted a picture of the Village People Mermen - that was cool. Also, I didn't get until I read your post that they're supposed to be gay. Ha!
