While I do agree that some of those ornaments are ridiculous and look nothing like the sorority's OFFICIAL mascot, I am kind of bothered by this.

I just imagine him saying "Phabulous"

That lion happens to look alot like the lion that is generally pictured as "Sir Fidel", Phi Mu's official mascot.

I think that the arm crossing looks a little goofy on him, but I don't think calling him "gay" is appropriate or very nice. Maybe you should keep this kind of thought to yourself in the future...

I apologize if I've offended you. You'll note that it was a bit of a "mock the ornaments" thing going on. I've never seen that particular picture of Sir Fidel before, but even there he manages to be more masculine. Maybe it's the glitter on the ornament, I dunno. I have nothing against Phi Mu or Sir Fidel, just against the people who make poor Greek accessories.

Oh come on, Sensitive McGee. He's perched on pink letters, shiny, covered in glitter, crossing his arms, limp wristed, raising one eyebrow appraisingly, and arching his back so you're sure to notice his cute butt.
Totally gay.

No, sorry, the ornament lion looks really gay. I think it's the glitter. The picture of Sir Fidel does not look gay and in fact would probably be offended to be compared to the glass ornament.

I think that is the nicest one of the whole group. Very pretty!

Big House fan. Partly because the show is awesome and involves a lot of vicodin and partly because House says whatever he wants to patients and as a medical professional I just wish I could do that.

*BUMP*

Did anyone adorn their tree/bush with these illustrious decorations this year?

Well nothing would look better on my New Year Tree than Turtle Power in a half shell and I was really looking forward to it but alas, I couldn't find any DZ's on teh intarweb to sponsor me for AI.

This looks more like the witch from Hansel and Gretl than an angel:

I was really hoping the DG one was going to have a big scary Raggedy Ann doll (Hannah) but the anchor actually isn't too bad.

No you really lucked out. I mean no offense to any of the national symbols or mascots, but there is some fucked up shit going on.
I mean, the Pi Phi angel looks like it wants that arrow through its face or something.
Can you even imagine what this guy would do to Sigma Kappa?

The only one I'd consider buying would be the tri-delt ornament for my tri-delt BFF. (Yes I got BFFs in all the NPC sororities and beyond.)

So I take it you save ims? ;) And I think the angel wants the arrow through her heart, not her head. She's almost pointing it that way, too.

I'm disappointed that he didn't attempt a ladybug....although not surprised. It's not easy to make a ladybug look that jacked up (although I have seen some valiant efforts).
