Baguette Magique

I wonder what must be so "magique" about this baguette...!

But would you really eat it on the street??

Brazilian Manger Scene

The population of the Brazilian city of Criciuma, in Santa Catarina, wakes up to find an unique Nativity set display in one of their main squares.

How cute is that?

Just Farts

Here I am sitting in traffic waiting for a red light to go green when I turn my head to the right and spot the above sign. Took me a second to figure out what the sign was saying but the right placement of that street-crossing timer made me giggle on the spot.

Thank God for never leaving the house without my little Sony otherwise I wouldn't have been able to capture such smile-inducing "trompe l'oeil" message. Hooray for Delray Beach!

Flying Down To Rio

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Yes, I've been neglecting the blog these past few months and I am sorry for that. I've had too much on my plate and haven't been too "inspired" to write & post. I do miss being here more often and will make a bigger effort to remain more present at Little-Pumpkins from now on. I will be in Rio de Janeiro as of tomorrow morning for a 2-week holiday trip. I'm going to see the folks and bring Booboo back to th US with me when I return. I have a small trip planned to Parati and Ilha Grande and will post about it as I get the chance. Bon Voyage to moi!

Best,

PM

Where In The World Is Pumpkin Man?

Many apologies for my recent disappearance from the blog but I've been occupied with unrelated issues and haven't had the time to tend to my little Pumpkin baby. To write on the blog also requires inspiration and I haven't had much of that lately and to post stuff just to do it - without real passion - I'd rather not. Worry not because I am not going through any personal crisis or anything like that - no suicidal tendencies here, thank God - just chilling...and rolling with my homies. I will be returning slowly to posting very soon, OK? Hugs & kisses!! PM

Viva Cinco De Mayo!

Wishing you all a happy (and low-fat) Cinco de Mayo!

Superheroes @ The NY Times

This week, the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art will present “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” (May 7 through Sept. 1), which spotlights more than 500 ensembles—from sportswear to haute couture to film costumes—that reflect a heroic ideal.

On yesterday's The New York Times Sunday Styles Magazine photographer Raymond Meier and Brazilian supermodel Caroline Trentini displayed an array of super-powered looks inspired by the exhibition. They created fun ficticious superheroes that are ready to fight for fashion victims everywhere - if not one themselves.

KUNOICHI All her life, Kunoichi heard that only men can be ninjas. But when her naïve parents inadvertently ran afoul of the Japanese mob, the time had come to put her years of secret training to use.

MORAY When a family’s boat capsizes in rough seas, an infant survives — thanks to eerily glowing coral on the ocean floor. The baby grows up to be Moray, the protector of all sea creatures, including sushi.

INSECTA A scientist at a pest-control lab is accidentally exposed to lethal aerosols, enabling her to now communicate with the vermin (men?) she once devoted her life to destroying.

ABSOLUTE ZERO She came to 2008 on a vital mission — to prevent a catastrophic war. Absolute Zero knows her ability to stop time will be critical ... if her amnesia can be cured.

LE RENARD As a little girl, Le Renard would always sabotage her father’s weekend hunts. Her reward from Mother Earth was a mystic totem that grants her the cunning and heightened senses of a fox.

CIRCUIT BREAKER Lights! Camera! Disaster! A horrific accident on the set of a low-budget flick turned a B-actress into Circuit Breaker, who uses her electrical powers to fight pushy publicists, casting-couch directors and ill-conceived superhero adaptations.

SURREPTITIOUS Instead of being irked by classmates describing her as a wallflower, Surreptitious embraced it. She used her smarts to fashion material that allows her to literally blend into shadows. It’ll take her investigative journalism career far.
