A couple of jobs ago, I had a co-worker who had a book that featured images of toy chicks, posed in a variety of ways and in a bunch of different scenarios. The Washington Post recently held a contest with a similar result in mind. Create a diorama in a sideways shoebox (or other appropriately sized vessel) in which Peeps are costumed and and posed in ways that tell a story.
They've put the top 22 dioramas into a slide show on their website and they are all fantastic and hysterical. The winner is a scene entitled, "Peeps are a Girl's Best Friend" and features a yellow Peep dressed up a Marilyn Monroe. Others include a scene featuring Batman and Robin and shower scene in which one Peep is peeping at another Peep.
Thanks Roz!
