Dirty Wow Wow
|
IntroductionIt's rare to find a child whose very first best friend wasn't a fuzzy teddy bear or downy blanket. Whether clutched securely in little arms each night or dragged gamely through the playground each day, these fiercely loved companions universally ease the uncertainties and loneliness of childhood. Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories celebrates the lives of fifty transitional love objects: a sweetly poignant collection of stuffies, blankets, lovies and dolls who inspired and comforted their owners. Bundles of love and warmth fashioned from fluff and fur, these cherished friends have a liftetime of stories sewn up in their tattered bodies - a trip to Paris smushed in a suitcase, a secret hiding spot behind the family liquor cabinet, an interminable wait in the lost-and-found bin before a joyous reunion at home. With stunning photographs that reveal the personalities within, this thoughtful tribute is at once funny and oddly soothing - like a certain shabby buddy who's tucked away but never forgotten. About the Authors

Full Disclosure : nobody knows the real name of this bear. It's
not that it wasn't loved: that much Michael knows for sure. But
since most lovies are named for their salient feature— Blankie.
Doggie, Fuzzy— what could you possibly call this optically
challenged little guy but Band-Aid Bear? The Band-Aid was affixed
with the best intentions by Michael's mom. The bear was missing
an eye and this cure was close at hand—unfortunately, what
was supposed to be a subtle fix turns out to be, like a bad toupee,
the one thing you can't helps staring at. You can't look at Band-Aid
Bear for one second without thinking "boo-boo."
