Glory, Glory

We have Glory with another full bodysuit, this one in white with blue and red stars, a deconstructed reference to the idea of the American flag. On the chest is an interesting representation of such a thing. I imagine that doing all 50 stars in this detail would be too small, just ask Emoji Designers.

Grab a Snowball

Snowball the Snowman with the permanently rumpled scarf and hat was born on my 12th birthday, December 22nd, 1996. He features a carrot nose, which is common in snowman lore. A lot of times that I remember building a snowman— I say a lot of times as though there were more than three—When we got around to making the buttons for the snowman outfit, we would use extra coal that we got from the grill in somebody's backyard. There was a snowman, I've been told, that plays with beanies out in the cold. What is better in a winter wonderland than a beanie snowman in your hand? That is kind of cute. I can't help but like my twin just a little bit. Snowball, the obviously C-string, rotund bench warmer of the Winter Sports Team is available [https://www.beanies4screenies.com/snowball] for a $5 donation, or as part of the Winter Beanie Teamie Six Pack [https://www.beanies4screenies.com/winter-sports-team-beanie-bag] for a generous $1,000 donation.

'99 Holiday Teddy

‘99 Holiday Teddy, born December 25th, 1999. [You know, this is a little bit of an organizing tangent. I am a bit relieved that these bears, that these holiday bears were born on their holiday, because I also am releasing these on their holiday. It’s good to know that Ty Warner and I were not thinking that much in advance.] Look at how cute this guy is! Perfect for the winter sports season, the 1999 Holiday Teddy features a full snowflake print head-to-toe bodysuit and a matching… Well, it’s not really matching… A non-detachable snowflake scarf in a different pattern, which if you know, you know, that clashing is actually tres chic. Peace on earth as the holidays grow near. This season is all about giving good cheer. With love and joy in your hearts, let’s all be friends as the century starts. [That was so long ago at this point, isn’t that wild? Anyway.] The ‘99 Holiday Teddy is available for a $10 donation [https://www.beanies4screenies.com/99-holiday-teddy] as an individual bear, ~OR~ as a 6-pack [https://www.beanies4screenies.com/winter-sports-team-beanie-bag] with his other teammates… With his other Winter Sports Teamie Beamies!
