Firstly, a conversation via Twitter between myself and
kambriel, about the vampire killing kit:
Kambrieldesign @CupcakeGoth What about the vampire protector kit ~ who's going to *protect* the vampires?! ;)
CupcakeGoth @Kambrieldesign My theory is the vampires are the ones creating/collecting them, as a form of protective coloration. ;)
(Yes, that's how my brain works.)
Secondly, I know that taxidermy is not everyone's thing, so I'll put the image behind a cut-tag. But if I were a fabulously wealthy eccentric, you'd better BELIEVE I would be purchasing this antique Victorian cage housing a preserved bat!

Mind you, I can almost guarantee that the Stroppy One wouldn't want me to have it displayed in the house. But oh! How I want it. Stamp my cliché card now, please.

Speaking of taxidermied. Would you be interested in a wearable fur piece made from three whole-dead-flat-minks sewn together as one collar/scarf object? My friend with the attic GAVE it to me with a "get it out of my house, please -- sell it or wear it or whatever, but it gives me the creeps." It's a little over-the-top for me, but would it be something you'd wear, or would you know someone who'd like it?

and this is very cute.
And see, I figured about the same thing. they would keep everything sealed, but study it to help protect themselves and each other... and of course to allay suspicions. ;)

I have seen two bats made into a little reticule before. Maybe in my mother's collection of odd purses. She has an alligator paw reticule, too.

My little bat Edmund needs a friend, hopefully one fresher, dear ol' Edmund isn't the youngest bat anymore (even his chemical smell is gone D: )

(Obviously this would have to be a fruit bat. I'm not holding any bugs for it.) (Or opening a vein, for that matter.)
