Whenever anyone talks about Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, I always think of my friend Geof, who does a great impression of Tippi Hedren from that movie. You can’t imagine the self-control it took for me not to buy this* when my sister and I were on our recent trip:
I especially like the three birds who are on her.
*This does not mean you should buy this for me.
I don’t have room for it.
You know who you are.
BECKY!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN”T BUY IT?!?!
i may have to go find this now…completely awesome.
It was SO TEMPTING. It is awesome.
welllllll, after seeing the price, maybe i understand passing on it…
Very cool and glad your migrane’s gone.
Thanks, me, too!
BOIDS! I like saying the title of that movie in a mock-Brooklyn accent.
One thing I always enjoy about Hitchcock’s movies is Bernard Herrmann’s music. Though I like this movie, it irks me that they made the decision to not have a score at all… except for that “riggeldy-raggeldy-neow-neow-neow!” song [the worst song ever].
Her bag’s hot.

Spoken like a man who wishes he had a bluefly.com accessories wall at his disposal.
Just wait till you see my accessories. My bluefly brings all the Kens to the yard. : )
Before I’d even got to the end of the post I’d wondered if I should buy it for you. 🙂 And I’m sure you didn’t mean me, either. G and I love the film and I’d love to buy him one for Christmas! Will have to investigate but I’m thinking the price might be a little high.
Maybe you can find one at a good price for G. It would be a must for anyone who loves the film, I think!
She looks surprisingly composed considering her predicament. As if she’s saying “How can I prevent these birds from ruining this photo shoot? I know. If I tilt my head this way, maybe the crow will look like a new hat.”
A real trooper, that Tippi was. Actually, she managed to look that way through most of the movie. It always cracks me up to watch her.
Where’s the slight trickle of attractive blood on her forehead?
This is that last moment before her perfection is marred by the evil pecking bird.
I don’t know why Hitchcock was so obsessed with terrorizing blonde beauties.
For some reason I sometimes get a catalog of the special designer/theme Barbies, which I always think are cool, but this is AWESOME.
Plus, when I googled it to find out the price, I discovered a site called Dirty Bear Toys (where it’s the same price as Google shopping shows for Walmart).
Any time I see these things I want to buy them for you. If I wasn’t living week to week I would adopt you as my niece…
I think I may be old enough to be your aunt! You’re too sweet. I’m mostly happy just looking at photos of them. I swear my slide into Top Model madness didn’t reactivate my Buy Barbie switch.
I hope. =)
