Give your Tiki some "eyes"

Pages: 1 8 replies

Ok, I did my usual ebay search for "Eames", and like Sabu, I'm amazed at TOTAL MISUSE of the word, but thought to myself "Hmmm....would seeing these eyes on a Tiki really freak people out?"...Maybe? Other than the misuse of "Eames", I noticed (and laughed) that this seller paid extra to have the symbol on the page, which according to ebay: "This means that the seller wants you to know that this item would make a great gift!".

Take a look:

Oh Santa, please send me this eye-popping gift!

That's it! I am definitely on the hunt to find the BEST MISUSE of the term EAMES ERA!!!
I'll be back in a moment, after I stop laughing so hard I wet myself...

TikiFish,
You mean you didn't know that Charles & Ray Eames designed purses, Corona Beer Trays, Illuminated Jesus pictures, Band-aid tins....and glass eyeballs!.....HAHA!

I think you need to add a "Misused Eames" category on your website!

I like the eyeballs! THey are cool, I am bidding on them.

if you get those eyes , you had better get a box to put them in...or they will constantly stare at you....i've seen it before....it doesn't look pretty .....ok. i'm done.

These would be the perfect gift for the 5 eyed martian who has everything, otherwise why would you need 5 of them?
