Bullie, For Me

Bullie.
Part of my life since 1961.

Bullie (if you can picture a little heart over the 'i' here) is perfect. This black fur beauty has a molded plastic face, pair of button-up high heels, lipstick, utters and horns. You wonder what kind of relative would give such a gift to a child. Whoever it was—I love them—and Bullie.

Her tag reads: 'A Jewel of a Toy by Bijou. Bijou Toys, New York, N.Y.' I can't find anything about them anywhere. If you have any information, drop me a line.

What A Piece Of Man Is Man

Hugo, Man of a Thousand Faces
The Pumpkin(less) Patch, The Rock
September 2006

My nephew used to come to the house and exclaim, "Where's Piece of Man?" Knowing what was coming, I would go to Hugo's hiding place, take him out, and show him to my nephew who would, in turn, run screaming from the room. Piece of Man. Hugo. Any way you put it, Kenner (THE toy company of the 50's, 60's, and 70's, and sucked into oblivion by Hasbro in 2000) thought kids would love it.

Well, maybe they just want to know where he is at all times.
