Microfiction Monday: The Tooth Fairy's New Line

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the world's best meme, coming to you from Susan at Stony River. One of the highlights of a dangerous writer's week. Enjoy.

In this economy, even the Tooth Fairy moonlighted. "Designing costumes for Oscar's fine, but spending so much moolah for the promos! Oy!" (137 characters)

Yes, folks, they're giving away those little golden statuettes tonight. I'll be gawking at the tooth fairy's latest creations, and applauding for The King's Speech. So, if you don't hear from me tonight, you know why.

Thanks to all of you who visit and comment. I look forward to reciprocating within the next day or two.
Have a wonderful week!

  5. You even had room for the "Oy!" LOL!

    I decided to skip the Oscar's tonight for extra sleep instead, but I hope your choice comes out on top Michael...

  8. Hope the Tooth Fairy Association doesn't find out about her moonlighting. Maybe she's just "filling" in.

  11. Michael,
    Aren't we all moonlighting to pay the bills? This is a good one.

  17. You packed a lot into so few words.

  18. Brilliant! I've seen some of those stories on how "highjacked" young designers are in trying to break into the business.

    This fairy has some Edith Head going, I think...

  19. I'm sure following lost teeth is easier than designing for the Oscars - quicker, too ;-)
