{ Andy Warhol Banana Plush }

Okay, I'm about to utter the funniest sentence I think that has come out of my mouth in months, so here goes: It doesn't matter how many albums you have, you are still not a true Velvet Underground fan unless you own a Andy Warhol Banana Pillow. Oh wait, I mean, Plush! Oh when, when will I learn? So, all silliness aside, I'm not going to come at you with the whole "now you too can now own a piece of pop art history" angle, but what I will say is that this damn thing is ice cold. You can buy them in 12, 24, and 36-inch sizes, each one super-duper silkscreened. But here comes the banger, each one has little zippers so you can pull back the peels and reveal a pink 'nana hidden inside! Just like Warhol used to make! Listen kids, Cracker Jacks ain't got shit on this! I ordered the 12-inch version and I love it, and so does every person that comes over. My only complaint is that I wish I had ordered the 36-inch so I could actually toss it on my couch and use it, because this little guy just looks kinda puny. Oh well, it's still worth the super-cheap price of $16!

They also just put out a limited edition Kubrik (those boxy lego-esque figures) of Andy Warhol that includes a nice vinyl banana. For those of you who aren't getting enough niacin in your diet. ningyoushi.com will hook you up (yet again)
