Ms Mimi & Mr Pong (mimipong) are a creative collaborative currently focusing on conceptual plush. "Hug your Sorrow" tear dolls is their lastest creation. The dolls come in various teardrop shapes in aqua unbrushed fleece – to better absorb your tears. The embroidered tags provide lines to pen down one's sorrow, before giving it a big hug. The tear dolls retail for USD $30 and can be purchased at www.fredflare.com

If anyone ever asked me to do a show like that, this is the car I’d want to test drive. I’ve been obsessed with bubble cars since I was little. I love how ridiculous and homemade they look. Some of them even had airplane cockpits instead of dashboards! Equally impractical and awesome.
