Emily Strange vs. Jack Skellington

I came across this stall while walking around in KL today...



I want an Emily Strange wallet! It disturbs me that Emily Strange wallets are being sold alongside Jack Skellington merchandise (as well as stuff featuring a pink drugged-out bear character - off my radar) at a roadside stall. The shop on its left was selling pirated GUCCI handbags... so I'm assuming that these wallets are... fake???

They sell for about RM30-50, bargainable.

1. Emily Strange
Have been wanting an Emily Strange ever since I set eyes on the eye-catching black and red storybook at a Paul Frank clothing store in Melbourne.

Emily Strange links:

• Official Emily Strange website
  
• Which Emily Strange Are You? (Quizilla)
• A life-sized lego Emily scuplture by a fan
• Article detailing the history of Emily Strange's creation
  
• ***A real life Emily Strange? (Emily "The Strange" Brontë, hehehe)
  

2. Jack Skellington
Ah, the king of Halloweentown, star of Tim Burton's inspired masterpiece - The Nightmare before Christmas. I think I was... 10 years old when I first watched it? Time to go video hunting...

This first modern stop-motion animated feature film is a musical spectacular with incredible attention for detail and design. The story is based on an idea Burton developed when he was still working as a conceptual artist at Disney, but which was discarded by the studio because it lacked the "Disney feeling."

Poor Jack Skellington...

How can I resist his hollowed-out eye sockets, impressive set of crooked teeth, and long spindly limbs?

I want a Jack Skellington wallety too!
