Carrie and Porkchop
Sunday, July 8th, 2007That’s their names, and I just like saying them together. Carrie and Porkchop. It’s got that good cop/bad cop ’80s movie feel about it. Or, if you will, the ring of a fake movie on an episode of “Seinfeld”.
I say that only because today I learned that Carrie, like me, has a thing for Seinfeld references.
Carrie and Porkchop are more internet strangers, although Carrie once saw Clara Jane and me at a local coffeehouse, but she didn’t approch us. I don’t blame her. If I were me and I encountered myself and Clara Jane in public, I’d probably hide.
And yet here they are, giving really cool stuff for the auction.
Chevron Scarf
I cannot wait to lay hands on this scarf because it’s going to be the softest thing ever made. It’s made from on of my favorite yarns - Colinette Jitterbug in Fire and Florentina. When finished it’ll measure 4.5″ x 55″.
Carrie wants me to mention that she does have a cat, the beautiful Keetah. Not that she’s offering Keetah for auction. She just wants to make sure that any bidders with severe cat allergies be aware. If you’ve taken your antihistimines, start the bidding at $25 $36.
Porkchop, while being a total stranger, is offering the winner of the Auction Item That Surprised Me the Most With Its Coolness:
Caricature by the World-Famous Porkchop
Amanda, I mean Porkchop, is a caricature artist at Six Flags St. Louis. She’s offering a 12″ x 16″ caricature drawn from a photo (no more than five people) in graphite with airbrush on paper. It’ll take her 3-5 business days, and I’ll make sure the winning bidder has the means of getting in touch with the ‘chop after the auction. But first you’ve got to start the bidding at $35 $51.
