In my attempt to shoot a bunch of tests to see how my new lighting works, I ventured into the dollar store to see what stuff they might have that I could shoot.
I found a good variety of stuff but my two favorite items were the "school projects" dissection toys? I found Human Body Man (made of clear plastic and an opening so you could go in and remove the major organs) and then I found the classic Frog. I remember dissecting a frog in high school. Yuk. I hated the smell. This plastic one, although probably not very accurate smells like nothing or at the very least plastic. So I wonder, were these actually meant to simulate a dissection? Surely not. Perhaps it was just to get kids thinking. And interested in something other than video games? The parts are pretty small and probably a choking hazard so they would not be for the little ones. Hmmm...Maybe that is why I found them at the dollar store?
OK. Another dollar store find? Monica Lewinsky's biography just after it was released (years ago). I guess it was not the big seller they thought it would be? I bought a couple of them and sent them off as gifts for people to read. I thought it was interesting. The dollar store is full of surprises.
