Daniel EdwardsIt's the stuff nightmares are made of, not fit for any nursery... But this collectible rubber toy can be yours for the bargain price of your immortal soul.
Daniel Edwards, the artist who brought us Suri's poop, Britney birthing, Paris' insides and Oprah's head-with-dogs, has brought his sculptor's sensibility to Octomom with his latest creation, String of Babies', holds a baby bottle upright.
The bright pink "toy" features octopuslike tentacles sprouting from a replica of Nadya Suleman's head and cradling eight little identical baby heads and a baby bottle.
No word on which of the eight doll-reminiscent heads are supposed to be Noah and Isaiah, the two Suleman infants who on Tuesday were the first of the eight to be released from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif.
The press release touting the new addition to the creep-out canon deems String of Babies to be in the ironic, in-your-face style of American Gothic—Grant Wood's much-parodied painting of a pitchfork-wielding farmer and his equally severe-looking wife standing in front of their home.
Of course. We're sure countless cultural histories about String of Babies are forthcoming.
