The Miette Blog: Now in Glorious Technicolor Turkeyvision

From Miette


That's right! We're sparing no expense this holiday season, and have invested in a state-of-the-art Turkeyscope for your festive blog-reading pleasure. Festive & a little bit trippy.

From Miette


I've seen some turkeys in my day....they're usually pretty scraggly, you could even say ugly, though wild turkeys do have a certain mysterious elegance. But I've never seen colors like this...

Teal, hot-pink, gold, purple: this kind of sartorial daring is what earned these the title of Official Chocolate Turkey of Miette. I fall for them harder every year.

You know those early naturalistic illustrations? Like from the first time Europeans saw a drawing of a lion or a whale? And all the animals have human features? And you can tell that the person who actually saw the thought-to-be-mythical animal & the person who did the drawing were definitely not the same person?

From Miette


That's what these turkeys make me think of. Like, an explorer was describing a turkey, got overly-excited & started describing a peacock, threw in a lorikeet for good measure, and this is what the incredulous illustrator came up with. Or perhaps there is a technicolor turkey somewhere out there, and we'll just have to be satisfied with these little souvenirs until we get a chance to see it for ourselves.
