Donut Girl must have the bestest friends (and, unrelatedly, I hate Billy Mays)

This has nothing to do with cupcakes, but I have to say that I cannot abide by Billy Mays commercials. I am trying to watch/listen to Iron Chef (disappointingly, it's not the original, but the Iron Chef America version featuring a deliciously feisty/bitchy chef going up against most-hated chef Bobby Flay) while simultaneously blogging. So, the volume is kinda low, and I can just pop over to check during a heated moment, the judging, or for an unusual ingredient. Anyway, not to drag this out, but the Billy Mays commercials must be at three times the normal volume. Really loud and an assault to my ears. Ugh! And his pitches are repeated so many times, they stick! Ear pain.

(For those auditory masochists out there, you can see/hear the salesman here. And, just to give fair time to the Billy Mays fans out there, here's a pro-Mays page. Just note, the name of the site is atmospheric violence. Fitting, don'tcha think?)

But let's not let my petty diatribe ruin the serious awesomeness of this alien cupcake series. Are they not quite weird yet oddly attractive? These would make any party more exciting, in many senses.

This is my favorite shot.


DonutGirl, you rock. I wish I had friends that would show up with cupcakes like these.

Amazingly, her roommate made these cupcakes for Christmas:

Raven Cupcake Tree
Groovy!

And more! From (friend?) Rhiannon:

Can't bring cupcakes to a party? Go dressed as one!
Cupcake!


Rachel, Nichelle, Allison (and all my friends) the time is now to step up. The crazy cupcake bar has been set high. Just no Billy Mays product-related stuff, okay?
