Yesterday, while delaying the completion of my FINAL grad school application, I noticed the following gem in my friend, Megan Keely’s, gmail status.
A chicken banjolele! Had I known that a chicken banjolele existed, I would have included it on my Christmas wishlist instead of the Gold Tone banjolele. Oh, but wait my friends. THE FUN DOESN’T STOP THERE…
A MOUSTACHE UKULELE!!! I think my favorite might be the “Sad Cowboy.” Or maybe the “Shirley Temple.” Anyways, this discovery (xylocopa, moustache ukuleles, etc.) is very timely, because I recently noticed mini cracks in my ukulele. Chicago is too dry for my little ukulele. Anyways, the above creations are all by Xylocopa, a design studio in Tuscon, Arizona. I recommend that you wade through their site. The Mad Scientists Alphabet Blocks are especially glorious.

Ohmigosh! The moustache ukulele is SO AWESOME!!! But (excuse my ignorance here) what exactly is a ukulele, some sort of variation of a guitar??
You’ve never seen a ukulele before?! It is like a small guitar with four nylon strings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele
Ahhahaha. I am reminded of rockers who put stickers all over their guitar case, except cooler.
Another great discovery! Gotta love those mustaches!!!
