With all the reality television shows focused on humanfolk, I’m relieved to discover the Pimp My Gnome project which looks to create new looks for gnomes. I have to admit the standard issue outfit makes us instantly recognisable, but it isn’t helpful if you’re trying to mix in with the crowd, or show your support at a Star Wars memorabilia convention.

Three cheers to the wee folks that make up NoDa and if you want to see some of the results, follow this wee gallery link.

The wee folks over at The Dirty Disher have highlighted a growing trend of gnomes beginning to gather together again in tightly-knit communities. The gnome village was once a thing of the past with individual gnomes moving in with one-master families. But we are quickly realising the benefits of pooling our labour resources together, particularly with the rising costs of oil and commodities.

As far as I am concerned, this is the only way to travel: tucked within a carry-on shoulder bag on a flight. There is nothing more disturbing than being stuffed into checked luggage, particularly amongst the soiled laundry on the return voyage. I do need to make a particular effort not to be spotted, but it is well worth the risk.
