peep show

The Washington Post’s Sunday Source section held a Peeps diorama contest.

They have the winners in today’s paper and you can see the top 22 finalists in their photo gallery. They had over 350 entries and somehow winnowed them down to 22 finalists. They’re all amazing but the winner, the winner just takes peeps to a whole new level:

Operations here at The Washington Post ground to a halt when the winning Peeps diorama, “Peeps Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” above, was unveiled a couple of weeks ago. Many bigwig journalists stopped by our section to marvel at Charles Johnston’s restaging of the classic musical number in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” Executive Editor Len Downie was heard to utter, “That’s extraordinary.”

I’m looking at the winner live and in-person right now here in the nerve-center of artomatic and I have to tell you, it’s really all that. And more.

All of the finalists are quite “wow” but “Peeps are a Girl’s Best Friend” just blows your mind. The finalists will be out on public display when we open to the public April 13th, you’ll just have to come see them for yourself.

Wow. Really. Wow.

    Of course, we love the “May the Peeps be with You” here at our house! the local paper did a contest here, too, but the entries here were way better!

    Today I saw “Reservoir Peeps.” The picture doesn’t do it justice. The creepy bathroom one, however, is more effective in the picture. Great in person, but the picture is much creepier. I’m looking forward to “May the Peeps be With You.” “Soylent Green is Peeps” was a nice surprise today as well.
