Easter Everywhere

Christmas was only a few weeks ago and the shops are already stocking Easter eggs (in plenty of time for 16 April) and valentine's tat. Now don't label me as an elitist snob (there's no need as I already know) but I cannot in my life imagine what sort of woman would be delighted to receive a chocolate bunny holding a heart with "I wuv you" scribbled across it. Well that's not strictly true - unfortunately I can imagine what sort of woman would find it a suitable token of their partner's devotion to them and they've probably got a CD that includes Journey's "Don't stop believing" on it, they have orange skin and think that a tribal tattoo is really really exotic.

Mister Squeaky (currently sulking after being told that the Whitechapel Murders were not, in actual fact, carried out by Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the lead pipe) tells me that the best gift for valentine's day is a fresh heart torn out of your victim's chest and given to your loved one whilst still warm and beating faintly. I suggested to him that it was exactly this sort of attitude that leads to the persecution of vampires and I would not be pleased if I had a mob turn up at the door with garlic flavoured stakes again...

Anyway, I've got a cunning plan (Oh dear!) for Easter - Now all I need is some of that stuff for mould-making and one of those crosses with the little man on them - and here comes the perfect Easter confection - Chocolate crucifixes with Jesus on them - religious imagery and chocolate - both messages of easter combined - what more can anybody ask for.
Incidently the DarkAdaptedEye easter card design has now been approved - buy now and beat the rush...
