Inspired by "V" and "V for Vendetta"

The letter of the day is “V”, with lots of sci-fi and political drama coinciding.  The ABC show V aired recently, a show about aliens who promise to fix all of humanity’s problems…but what’s their real motive?  Today is also Guy Fawkes Day, which conjures memories of V from the Alan Moore graphic novel, V for Vendetta.  With so many “V”s floating around, I was inspired to put together a collage of products that embody the danger and drama of the infamous letter!

See product details after the break:

The Letter V by kelsyhenke ($16.00) is photograph of a stern and graphic V, the kind of letter that can really dominate a room.

Baby Yeti by HanMattan on Etsy

When I was searching for monsters on Etsy, I noticed that there were a great deal of Yetis.  Round yetis, tall yetis, bunny yetis, yetis with mustaches…even a zombie yeti!  I can see the Yeti appeal: they’re soft, cuddly, and very mysterious.  And who can resist Yetis when they look like this cute!  See the yetis after the break:
