Rack on!
I got a lot of thoughtful gifts from my friends for my birthday, which was so unnecessary since I would have been satisfied with just having dinner and going drinking with them. Miss Corbutt gave me a lovely cashmere scarf and, appropriately, a new wallet, since I lost my old one that very same night. Neo gave me a bracelet that is covered with Catholic icons of JC and the BV. CorporateCard gave me a set of breast-shaped stress balls. Seriously, they have nipples on them. MultipleScorgasms gave me a certificate of recognition for "Best 29-year-old bod", a kit to play doctor with (unfortunately it's just fake stethoscopes and no sex toys...damn), and a sword which was advertised as being able to render the wielder "hero inapproachable." Sadly, the sword was broken almost immediately and, not having a cadre of elven smiths at my disposal, it could not be reforged like the shards of Narsil. I loved all those presents, but I have to bestow the title of BEST PRESENT EVER on what Rack gave me.
Rack is a fashion designer, and she's always working on creative projects. She always is bedazzling shirts and making elaborate jewelry and making funny things with Illustrator and Photoshop. She's one of the most crafty and creative people I know. Lucky for myself, she turned her ideas and skill with Sculpey modeling clay to the fashioning of my birthday gift. Apparently, I wrote some blog a while back about wanting my own action figure. I actually don't remember that, but Rack is a committed Razzyphile so I believe her. Anyway, she decided to oblige my desire for an action figure and went all out.
ARE YOU KIDDING? Razzy merchandise! Rack pretty much covered all the essentials of Razzy: my d-o-double g's, my sexuality, and my penchant for boozing. Who wouldn't want to collect "Manhattan's favorite dog-owning bisexual alcoholic"? It just keeps getting better:
While Rack encourages people to "collect all 12," the only other ones she made so far are her own and FalloniusMonk's, who unwrapped hers at the same time as I unwrapped mine. Although Rack titled her My Bitches figurine "Mac" which is her real-life nickname, I was thrilled to see that she gave mine and FalloniusMonk's our Razzy names! RAZZY.org, forever the hotness!
And knowing us, Rack had to leave the disclaimer that we couldn't get fucked up by ingesting our likenesses. We're a bunch of substance abusing, kid-hating, irresponsible fuckers, for sure.
Anyway, here's a close-up of the Razzy My Bitches figurine. Pay special note to the fact that, in addition to doing a great job with my "striking Nordic features," Rack managed to capture both of my dogs PERFECTLY. Caesar has the appropriate amount of goofy dog earnestness, and Chingy! is just a collapsing blob of nastiness like he is in real life, right down to the crescent of stank pink tongue that usually pokes out of his weird, repugnant little mouth. And I totally own the exact shirt that Rack fashioned to showcase my "fantastic boobs."
Now I just have to figure out how to convince Rack to mass-produce these, because you know you all want one! I need her to make me a new "Sugar Hill, NYC" street sign too since unfortunately that aspect of my My Bitches figurine somehow vanished during the course of the party. Good times. I'm still hung over from this weekend's festivities, but looking at my sweet My Bitches figurine is taking the edge off. SO AWESOME!

That's the illest fucking gift I've ever seen! The only thing missing would be a can of Rainier welded to your hand! Plenty of time for that in a few weeks! Can't wait for your triumphant return to the Dub. Drinks on me at the Dock!
