Amy Kellner's Tidbits

A Monthly Look At Things We Love - The Tidbits Issue

By Amy Kellner



HAUNTED JEAN JACKET
I think this jacket is really funny, but I have it hanging near my bed and sometimes in the dark it looks like a scary old-man face and it gives me nightmares.
VALLEY GIRL BOOK
I memorized this book when I was nine. The slang in here is awesome; they call a shopping mall “the Bonerama.” I really wanna bring that back.

WONDERING JEW LEAVES
That’s me. I was a wondering Jew and I left. I keep it on my wall to remind me of my newfound secular freedom.

SAD CLOWN NEEDLEPOINT
Jim Krewson made this for me. It pretty much defines my entire aesthetic, and my basic philosophy too.
SIEGFRIED & ROY MUG
My great-aunt got me this from Las Vegas—totally unironically. She said, “I got this for you because I know you like cats!”
UGLY OR SPECIAL?
I asked the saleslady if this doll was, “you know, special” and she answered, “Um, yeah! She’s a special little dolly!” So now I don’t know if it’s supposed to look like it has Down syndrome or if it’s just kinda ugly.
DOUGHNUT HEAD
Another gift from Jim Krewson, who is not only a great artist, but the best gift-giver ever.

DAD’S ’NAM ZIPPO
My dad got this when he was in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He had a girlfriend named Nippy in Bangkok.
MOM’S PERIOD BOOK
My mom gave me this book when I got my period. It was hers from when she got her period. I was like, what’s a “sanitary belt”?
JERRI BLANK
AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO
It says “Pee on me, lesbo.”
People go nuts when they see this in my house.
