LR²H: Photography by Ahef

In my explorations, I recently discovered this photo set on Flickr from Ahef. He has little information about the photos, just labeling them as "Post apocaliptik little red riding hood".

I like them and the variation on the story they tell. And now I'll let them speak for themselves...

Super Punch's Fairy Tale Contest Finale

Super Punch's SciFi Fairy Tales contest for December has ended. You can see all the entries at The Winner is... I would have chosen the same winning entry--Cormac McEvoy's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves--although there are some great entries. Click through to see them all, especially The Little Marmaid.

And this one would be my honorable mention just for making me laugh...I can just hear McCoy saying, "She's dead, Jim."

Little Red Riding Hood Messenger Bags

Had to share these for a light-hearted Saturday post.

These are available by a creative Etsy seller, KittyEmpire3. I prefer the green one myself, but I love that these are so very much fairy tale oriented and yet somehow understated, too.

In other words, they aren't overly darling and also useful. I love bags and messenger bags are just wonderful for carrying books and papers (or Kindles).


The rest of the items in her shop are not fairy tale oriented, unless you include her Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz messenger bags.

Anyway, I just had to share because I was tickled by these.

(Disclosure: I am not affiliated with this seller. I just liked her stuff and wanted to share.)

Japanese Fairy Tale Stationary

My adventures in San Francisco's Japantown also included a little stationary shop where I found these pencil boxes and a stationary set.


The front of the stationary set with the sticker sheet. Appears that Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and the Three Little Pigs are popular enough to make it into stationary.


The back with images of the papers. Note that Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and the Wizard of Oz are included here.
